 “You Should Prioritize Education” ONC Manager Urges  Tororo Girls, As President Museveni Empowers Residents With Income Generating Items

The head of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye has spent her Monday in Tororo Municipality where she implored girls to focus on studies and stay away from horny men if they are to secure a bright future.

Hajjat Namyalo who also doubles as the Special Presidential Advisor on political affairs made the remarks at Rock View Primary School, the best Tororo UPE school in the recently released Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).

At this function, Namyalo was invited by area legislator Hon Apollo Yeri Ofwono to recognize learners who performed excellently in PLE exams and also to empower their parents with tools that can generate for their families a daily income.

Among the items donated here included hoes, sprayers, pop corn machines, salon machines, welding machines, hair dryers, sewing machines to mention but a few.

On the other end, Hon Apollo donated to the best students blankets, bags and mattresses with some juicy envelopes to buy books and other scholastic materials ahead of their secondary journey.

While at this event that attracted magnitudes of people from Tororo and surrounding districts, Namyalo commended parents for ‘milking their dry pockets’ to educate their children saying the country to prosper must have educated citizenry.

“My fellow mothers here I thank you for putting in all your efforts to educate these children, I know very well that most of you here are single mothers, our dads are no longer responsible but you have not given up,” said Namyalo.

“I also want to caution my fellow bazzukulu here especially our students, don’t be confused by these men, some have money but it’s not worth surrendering your life because most of those men are terribly sick.” she added.

Namyalo asked the bazzukulu to stay focused and don’t be diverted by the opposition calling it [opposition] a ‘man who engages a woman for one night stand.’

“Don’t be blind folded and hoodwinked by these opposition agents. They come here confuse you, use you and tomorrow drop you after achieving their selfish interests. They used to say government schools are not performing. Now tell me whether this Rock View that got 19 first grades and 112 second grades is funded by NUP or FDC,” Namyalo ‘preached’.

From the above event, Namyalo rushed to meet Saaco members of Kasoli Housing Project who appealed to her to pass on their outcry to President Yoweri Museveni whom they asked to intervene and save them from Standard Guarge Railway (SGR) mafias taking their land without compensation.

”We welcome the development, but it shouldn’t be more of harm than good to put people. Therefore, am going to push this matter to Jajja and am sure you will be compensated fairly.” Namyalo assured the residents.

Before all the above, Hajjat Namyalo passed by Tororo Central Market where she met various groups of bazzukulu who unanimously endorsed Kaguta Museveni to stand in 2026. Meanwhile, they requested Hajjat to source for them tailoring machines saying this is the business they understand better.

“Hajjat most of the people who benefit from government programs like PDM and Emyooga are either relatives or friends of our leaders. Most of us are just hearing about that money. And it’s worse when it comes to people with disabilities. No one cares about them,” said one of the muzzukulu.

Namyalo assured them that she won’t shield any mafia and said will push these matters to her boss the National Chairman and soon those tainting the government image by ‘wetting their beaks’ with bazzukulu’s money will be brought to book.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES EUROPEAN INVESTORS TO TAP INTO UGANDA’S ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged European investors to take advantage of Uganda’s economic opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and agriculture, saying investment in productive sectors is key to expanding markets, creating jobs and accelerating economic transformation.    The President made the remarks today at State House Entebbe during a meeting with European Union Ambassadors and investors, where he highlighted Africa’s growing population and expanding market as a major opportunity for European businesses seeking investment and stronger economic partnerships. “This is what we have been advising our European friends to look at, because Africa is a big potential market with its fast-growing population,” he said. President Museveni attributed political instability in some African countries partly to identity-based politics, including tribalism, religious divisions and ideological misunderstandings, as well as a failure to appreciate the role of the private sector in driving economic growth. He said Uganda had learnt from these challenges and emphasised the need for a stable political and economic environment that enables private businesses to invest, expand production and create employment. The President welcomed ongoing and proposed European investments in Uganda, particularly in infrastructure and other productive sectors, saying such projects would strengthen economic links between Uganda and the European market. “All these projects are music to my ears. By constructing these projects here, you are linking the market of Uganda to that of Europe. Why can’t anyone see that?” he asked. On energy, President Museveni said the cost of electricity remained a critical factor in Uganda’s competitiveness, particularly for manufacturers seeking to produce goods at affordable prices. While welcoming private-sector investment in hydropower generation, he called for greater attention to electricity tariffs, arguing that affordable power was essential for industrial expansion and economic growth. He identified affordable electricity, railway transport and accessible financing for productive investments as key priorities for strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The President cited the Uganda Development Bank as an important source of financing for businesses engaged in productive activities, explaining that the government had retained the institution to support investments capable of expanding production and creating jobs. He also urged the European Investment Bank to channel more financing into strategic infrastructure, particularly railway development, electricity generation and distribution, and selected road projects. On road infrastructure, President Museveni encouraged European investors to explore opportunities in construction and financing models, including tolling arrangements where appropriate. The President also reaffirmed the government’s support for tax incentives aimed at attracting investment, particularly in manufacturing, and emphasised the importance of enabling eligible businesses to benefit from a 10-year tax holiday. ...
