Minister Babalanda, Speaker Oboth Urges Bugweri Households to Embrace Government Wealth-Creation Programmes

BUGWERI, The Minister for the Presidency, Hon. Babirye Milly Babalanda, this afternoon joined the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Jacob Oboth Oboth, and the people of Bugweri County for a thanksgiving service for Hon. Hajji Wandera Sadara, who was giving thanks to God after successfully being elected to represent Bugweri County in the 12th Parliament.

Delivering her message, Hon. Babalanda conveyed greetings from H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Mama Janet Kataha Museveni, and the entire staff of the Office of the President.

The Minister expressed gratitude to the people of Bugweri for voting Hon. Wandera Sadara as their Member of Parliament and for overwhelmingly supporting NRM candidates in the recent General Elections.“The trust you have placed in Hon. Wandera Sadara and your decision to stand with the NRM shows your commitment to stability, development, and the vision of H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,” Hon. Babalanda said.

She commended the electorate for choosing leadership that aligns with the NRM’s agenda of transforming livelihoods at the grassroots.

Addressing the gathering, Hon. Babalanda urged the people of Bugweri to actively participate in Government wealth-creation programmes as the country targets upper middle-income status.

“As a country, our target is to join upper middle-income status. This cannot happen if households remain in subsistence,” she noted.

She highlighted key Government initiatives including the Parish Development Model – PDM, Emyooga, Operation Wealth Creation – OWC, and the 4-Acre Model as critical avenues through which families can transition from subsistence to the money economy and improve household incomes.

The Minister emphasized that parish structures must be fully utilized to ensure every household benefits from these programmes.

Minister Babalanda further called on wanainchi in Bugweri to work together with their elected leaders to ensure effective service delivery and the proper utilization of Government resources.

“The NRM Government is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind. Let us support our leaders so that together we can deliver development to every home in Bugweri,” she said.

The thanksgiving ceremony was attended by religious leaders, local government officials, NRM leaders, and hundreds of residents from across Bugweri County who turned up to celebrate Hon. Wandera Sadara’s election victory.
