Bushenyi

NRM Party has today 23^rd Oct.2020 held a reconciliation meeting for candidates in Bushenyi aimed at handling divisionism in the party.

The meeting which was presided over by Hon. Minister Chris Baryomunsi, the NRM vice chairman for Western Uganda was held at Bushenyi Multipurpose Hall.

The Bushenyi district NRM woman MP flag bearer Annet Katusiime Mugisha warned that president Museveni is likely to lose support in Bushenyi because of the NRM Chairman AlHaji Hassan Bassajabalaba who always wants to dictate on which leaders should be elected.

Hon. Kabuura Derrick Baimukye NRM MP flag bearer for Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality expressed his worries that all his opponents in NRM primaries are against him which puts NRM at the verge of losing in the coming 2021 general elections.

 Minister Chris Baryomunsi requested them to reconcile and support the flag bearers for the good of the party.

Kazo district NRM party chairman Wilson Nkeija has refuted claims that the district NRM primaries were marred with violence among other irregularities.

Nkeija says it was difficult for NRM leaders to intervene since the results were from the village level adding that besides that, they are supposed to be impartial.

 In an interview with one of the radio stations in Mbarara ,Nkeija instead blamed the mess on some candidates who wanted to cause confusion during the exercise.

NRM leaders in different Districts especially Kazo, Kiruhura,Ibanda, Ntungamo, Bushenyi and Isingiro are currently struggling to resolve a number of disagreements arising from the party primaries.

Letshego Uganda has officially handed over the poultry projects to respective farmers and beneficiaries that took part in the “Improving LifeCampaign” (ILC).

According to Giles Aijukwe the CEO, this is in line with Letshego’s Strategic Social Investment (SSI) policy, which aims at bettering livelihoods of the low and middle-income communities.

 Aijukwe revealed that the ILC campaign picked exemplary and model farmers from the four regions in the country that were already existing Letshego customers and were undertaking initiatives.

“The ILC project actually spanned across all our 11 markets in Africa. For Uganda, in light of the fact that agriculture is the backbone of our economy, it is no wonder that we opted for a project in this space,” Aijukwe Giles, the CEO elaborated.

 He noted that a total of 1167 applicants made their submissions where four were identified from every region (Northern, Central, Eastern and Western).

The final winners selected from the four regions include; James Alachu, Mohammed Mbazira,Kojo Siri Ssekandi and Joyce Kia

Each of the finalists was handed a state of the art poultry shelter, 1000 one-day old chicks, feeds to last 6months, training on poultry project management and welfare of the fowls by Dr. Ssewagude (veterinary expert) as well as enterprise mentor ship.

Uganda’s deputy head of mission to Benelux countries and the European Union in Brussels, Amb. Franklin R.Katugnwe has warned the NRM supporters and the flag bearer for Bushenyi Ishaka parliamentary seat not to celebrate just yet because Don Nasser has pulled out of the race.

He noted that while this is a welcome achievement for the NRM party – it is not the time to relax but the party should continue reinforcing its voter population so as not to give the opposition any mileage as some doubters may take advantage of the gap and switch to opposition or Independent candidates.

Amb. Katungwe said this and more in an exclusive interview with www.mknewslink.com managing Editor at his home today afternoon Oct. 22, 2020 in Kyeitembe Ward Bushenyi district.

He observed that the Don’s withdrawal from the race yesterday will favor NRM in Bushenyi Ishaka race but is not a guarantee of success in the coming election. 

“NRM  flag bearer Kabuura Derrick has my full support but he should work extra hard to win this seat,” Amb. Katungwe said.

He went ahead to reveal that the quality of MPs has declined unlike in the past when greater Bushenyi would present firebrands to parliament.

He also said that Ugandan MPs today are looking for platforms to concentrate on getting money rather than quality legislation.

Amb. Katungwe advised Bushenyi political opinion leaders to immediately come out and address the issue of voting for money instead of  ideas and save Bushenyi from weak and unsuitable representatives.
