Minister Babalanda Meets Buyende Leadership, Tasks Them on PDM Performance and “Kisanja No Sleep” Agenda

BUYENDE — The Minister for the Presidency and MP Budiope West, Hon. Babirye Milly Babalanda, yesterday held a meeting with the district leadership of Buyende District to evaluate the performance of government programmes, with special focus on the Parish Development Model – PDM and other social services.

Addressing the leaders, Minister Babalanda conveyed greetings from His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Hon. Janet Kataha Museveni, and the entire Office of the President.

She also paid tribute to leaders and wanainchi who prayed for her re-appointment as Minister-in-charge of the Presidency for another term.

The Minister urged district leaders to embrace teamwork, accountability, and discipline in the delivery of services.

“I appeal to you all to promote teamwork, desist from corruption and ensure that the wanainchi benefits from the wealth creation programmes where the government is putting a lot of money,” she said.

Minister Babalanda reminded the leaders that H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declared that this term is a “kisanja no sleep.” “Meaning no more sleep, no more corruption, no more diversions, and no more politeness for non-performers who want leadership positions for ego and personal intentions,” she emphasized, quoting the President.

She called upon technical and political leaders in Buyende to closely monitor PDM funds and other government programs to ensure they reach intended beneficiaries at the parish and household level.

“As leaders of Buyende District, let us work as a team to deliver service to the local person of Buyende,” Minister Babalanda added.

The district leadership welcomed the Minister’s guidance and pledged to strengthen supervision, transparency, and coordination to improve service delivery in line with the NRM manifesto and the President’s directive of intensified work.
