The First Lady and Minister for Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni has rallied the people of Karamoja to support the NRM and all its flagbearers in the forthcoming general elections for continued development in their region and the country at large.
While addressing NRM leaders and flagbearers on Wednesday at Moroto Boma grounds, Mrs Museveni said that the NRM government has been at the forefront in bringing development to the area.
“We need to thank the NRM government for what it has done in the region, we need to show the rest of the country that NRM is the engine of development,” Mrs Museveni said.
The First Lady who once served as the Minister-in-charge of the region thanked the people for embracing government programs and for shunning opposition politicians who had earlier on camped in the region canvassing for votes.
She said a lot has been achieved and that they ought to protect it by voting for the incumbent.
“Government programs have changed the society of Karamoja, the families and how they live. This speaks volumes as everything in Karamoja has changed. Thank you for refusing to be destructed by those who come with other messages. Resist those destructive messages,” she told NRM leaders.
She said there was a time when Karamoja region was full of sand but it now speaks volumes.
“It is always wonderful to return to Karamoja. It is a pleasure to be here and it is always a home coming.”
