President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who is also the National Chairman of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) has encouraged the people of Dokolo District to join and support the ruling party because it has the medicine which is able to deal with the problems of Ugandans.
The President made the remarks on Tuesday while campaigning for the NRM flag bearer for Dokolo District Woman Parliamentary Seat By-election, Ms. Janet Adongo Rose Elau.
The voting is slated for Thursday 21st, March, 2024.
The Dokolo Woman Member of Parliament seat fell vacant following the death of the area legislator, Hon. Cecilia Atim Ogwal on 18th January, 2024 in India.
During the rally, the President observed a moment of silence in respect to the fallen legislator.
President Museveni wondered why some Ugandans continue to embrace the “wrong medicine” which killed the patient in the past, explaining that he finds such a decision as lack of seriousness and dishonesty.
President Museveni also urged the people of Dokolo to embrace politics of interest and shun politics of identity, saying it frustrates development of the country.
The President also cautioned leaders especially the Members of Parliament against using personal money to solve the problems of their constituents.
