President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has unveiled a new directive that positions the media as a vital force in safeguarding the Parish Development Model (PDM) from corruption and inefficiency.
According to the President, the government will begin working more deliberately with journalists to monitor PDM implementation, investigate theft, and help citizens understand the purpose of the program.
He made the remarks while engaging Journalists from Wakiso District at State Lodge, Nakasero.
President Museveni added that he would brief the cabinet on this proposal to formalize the collaboration, emphasizing the need for journalists to play a watchdog role in development.
The President described the PDM as an experimental model that has shown potential to transform rural livelihoods and lift millions out of poverty.
Building on earlier programs such as Entandikwa, NAADS, and Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), PDM was designed to empower households directly.
