"I'm working for heaven that's why am I using these young people not the district bosses or Member of Parliament," he said.
Museveni vowed to woo all voters in Rukungiri district, who had defected to the opposition Forum for Democratic Change-FDC party, back into the ruling NRM party. He vowed to help locals in Rukungiri get out of poverty, the moment they start supporting NRM.
Museveni said during guerilla war, they never used bishops or other church leaders to penetrate Luwero and capture power. "Jim Muhwezi here knows very well we used very small people to penetrate larger group until we reached where we were going, this is what am using again to reach FDC power ten who went astray," he said
The President donated Shs 30 million to Nyakagyeme Bodaboda group, Nyakagyeme Development Savings Credit and Cooperative Organisation and Nyakagyeme Banana Traders' Group. He also donated a FUSO Lorry to Nyakagyeme Banana Traders' Group to help in transporting their produce. He also donated 50 million Shillings to group of onion growers from Ntungamo district.
Rukungiri is the ancestral home of Dr Kizza Besigye, Museveni's former ally and personal physician, but who fell out with the president in 1999 and went on to challenge him in elections in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016. On all the four occasions, Besigye has come second to Museveni, garnering millions of votes but not enough to dislodge Museveni's 31-year-rule.
Besigye, who retired from the army in 2000 at the rank of Colonel, has always claimed the ruling party has rigged him out of victory. He challenged the election results twice, in 2001 and 2006, with each time the Supreme Court judges agreeing that there was rigging, but not significant enough to influence the final outcome.
