Museveni Appoints ONC Coordinators to Oversee Gov’t Program Implementation.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has made a crucial move to ensure the effective implementation of government programmes by appointing coordinators of the ruling party (NRM) Office of the National Chairman (ONC) to monitor government programmes.

During the opening ceremony of the three-day training seminar of the coordinators at Kyambogo NRM office on Tuesday, the state House Comptroller, Ms Jane Barekye urged them to focus on the core principles of the NRM government manifesto and the presidential directives which denounce all forms of corruption in the public service sector.                   

Ms Barekye asked the coordinators to mobilise their communities to embrace commercial agriculture as preached by the president in his drives to stamp out poverty.

“You are going to the communities to serve the grassroot people, corrupt officials will bribe you with money and other incentives but work to ensure justice to the Bazzukulu (grandchildren) who have decried poor service delivery in their respective local governments,” Ms Barekye said.

Ms Barekye further added that people need to be guided on how to improve their incomes through various government interventions such Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga which are meant to alleviate people from poverty.

“Even those with small pieces of land should be guided on how to utilize them. They can engage in poultry farming, piggery or do Zero grazing of cattle. Select model farmers in your communities, equip them with the skills so that they can also replicate the same ideas in their homes,” Ms Barekye added.

In a 4/5 days training, a number of Bazzukulu who were identified from all the Sub regions of Uganda went through induction, training, brainstorming on how to address Uganda’s challenges like corruption, poverty eradication, how to be Patriotic and overseeing some of the Government Programmes like Emyooga, Parish Development Model (PDM) that are aimed at eradicating poverty and improving on household incomes of Ugandans.
