President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called on residents of Wakiso and Kampala not to be misled by the visible signs of development, such as roads, electricity, schools, and factories, but instead focus on individual efforts toward wealth creation.
While addressing a public rally at Wampewo Community Playground in Wakiso District on Monday, the President acknowledged the significant infrastructural improvements in Wakiso but emphasized that true transformation begins at the household level.
He urged residents to actively engage in income-generating activities as a sustainable way to eradicate poverty.
The rally at Wampewo marked the beginning of President Museveni’s wealth creation and Parish Development Model (PDM) assessment tour in Wakiso District, which has a population of 3,411,177 people, according to the 2024 Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) Population Census.
Under the PDM, Wakiso has cumulatively received UGX 30.7 billion, which has been disbursed to 31,952 households across eight constituencies, 27 sub-counties, 147 parishes, and 363 villages.
This funding is intended to boost household income and improve the standard of living among residents.
