The Secretary- Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande has rallied the people of Greater Luwero to continue supporting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government for sustainable development.

“You people of Luwero should continue supporting President Museveni. He will come back in 2026 and continue leading Uganda. Continue supporting him until God decides that he should stop leading Uganda because leadership comes from God,” he said.

Hajji Kakande made the remarks today during a dua held at the home of the late bush war veteran Juma Kasozi in Kikubampanga, Kikyusa, Nakaseke District.

The Secretary-Office of the President further explained that the NRM government holds Greater Luwero in high esteem due to its crucial role in the protracted bush war that ushered President Museveni into power in 1986.

“We believe that Luwero is the reason why Uganda is now peaceful. Continue supporting the government, it will also reciprocate by giving you what you deserve.”

On the other hand, Hajji Kakande requested the family of Mr. Kasozi to keep the legacy of the fallen bush war veteran alive.

“I met Juma around 1986-87 in Luwero. He was my good friend. He loved the NRM and President Museveni and as his surviving family, you should also continue supporting the President and the government,” he stated.

He also expressed the government’s commitment to continue supporting the late Kasozi’s family.

On his part, the Senior Presidential Advisor and former Minister without Portfolio, Alhaji Abdul Nadduli called upon the capable people of Nakaseke to help those in need, explaining that this will help the district to further develop.

“When I was the Chairperson of Luwero District, I did all I could to secure jobs for our people. You should also do the same if you have the capability,” he noted.

The Nakaseke Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Sarah Najjuma thanked the people of Nakaseke for attending the function in big numbers.

She also appreciated the government for the development in Nakaseke.

The legislator further tasked the parents to groom their children into responsible citizens.

“This holiday is a long one so I request you parents to caution your children against immoral acts like theft,” she said.

The District Kadhi of Greater Luwero Muslim District- under the Office of the Supreme Mufti, Sheikh Kizza Abdul Kadri thanked the family of the late Kasozi for organizing the dua to pray and remember their deceased loved ones.

He tipped the believers on good behaviors and working towards helping the needy.

“Behave well and do good to others. God will continue blessing and providing for you,” he said.

“Do you worship God? Do you go to the Mosque or the Church? We should return to God and do what pleases Him. Always ask for forgiveness from God knowing that one day you will have to return to Him whether you like it or not.”

On behalf of the late Kasozi’s family, Mr. Ibrahim Bukenya Kanyike thanked Hajji Kakande for being a very good family friend and for the support he has always accorded to them.

The function was also attended by businessman Hajji Sula Sserunjogi, religious leaders, Nakaseke district leadership, among others.

ALL SENIOR SIX VACISTS TO UNDERGO PATRIOTISM TRAINING AT NALI

All Senior Six vacists in Uganda will undergo patriotism training at the National Leadership Institute (NALI), Kyankwanzi, under a renewed government programme aimed at promoting discipline, patriotism, national identity and responsibility among young people.    The Commissioner of the National Secretariat for Patriotism Corps (NSPC), Hellen Seku, said the programme will begin this year, with the vacists expected to spend about six months at Kyankwanzi. Ms. Seku made the announcement today at Immaculate Heart Girls’ Secondary School Nyakibale in Rukungiri District, where more than 1,700 students from four institutions completed a week-long patriotism training programme. “I can assure you, head teacher, we are going to begin this year. So, this year we agreed with Jaaja (President Museveni) that all Senior Six vacists are going to Kyankwanzi. You’re going to go for about six months,” Ms. Seku said. She said patrons, coordinators, teachers and head teachers who have not undergone patriotism training will also be required to undertake refresher courses. “All patrons and coordinators are going to do a refresher course, including teachers and head teachers who have not yet trained, even those who have taken long. We want everybody to undergo the training,” she said. The announcement marks a revival of a programme that previously brought students and other Ugandans together at Kyankwanzi for ideological and patriotism training. One of the head teachers who attended the event, Gadgar Kibayo Arinitwe of Makobore High School, recalled undergoing a similar programme at Kyankwanzi in 1993 after completing Senior Six. He said the lessons acquired during the training continued to influence his outlook on life decades later. “We were at Kyankwanzi for two months, but I must confess that the values we acquired then have kept shaping our outlook on life,” Mr. Kibayo said. He recalled being taught what he described as the “10 Commandments of a gun”, including a rule against taking alcohol while in possession of a rifle. The students who completed the programme were drawn from Immaculate Heart Girls’ Secondary School Nyakibale, Karoli Lwanga Institute of Health Sciences, Kinyasano Girls’ High School and Makobore High School. They underwent ideology sessions facilitated by various trainers, alongside early morning drills and parades. According to Ms. Seku, the training is intended to inculcate good norms and values among learners while extending patriotism education beyond schools to other sections of society. ...
