Members of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) from Bukimbiri County have endorsed Eddie Kwizera Wagahungu to fly the party flag in a race to fill the constituency parliamentary seat in the upcoming by-election.
During a constituency conference convened by NRM top leaders at Rubuguri town council grounds, Bukimbiri County in Kisoro district over the weekend, leaders said Kwizera had proven to be competent and developmental to the area despite the little time he had occupied parliament before he was ejected out by a court decision.
“In just one year in parliament, Kwizera has been able to lobby the government to rehabilitate so many of the feeder roads that lead to tourism destinations in the area. This has also enabled easy transportation of our goods hence improving our household incomes,” one of the local leaders said.
The NRM vice chairperson for western region, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi who unveiled Kwizera said government has already approved two tourism roads to be tarmacked to smoothen movement of tourists to Bukimbiri, thus asking electorates to support the ruling party candidate who will remind the president about the promise.
“We came here to advise you on the right choice to make in the upcoming poll so that you don’t miss out on your share during budget resource allocation and implementation of its development plans,” Baryomunsi stated.
Minister also advised voters to choose a candidate with substance and a better manifesto other than promoting tribal or religious campaigns.
“I am reliably informed about some leaders who want to blind you with religious talks. That is very dangerous and should be resisted. The NRM party believes in leaders who bear positive visions and missions of their people, not those who promote politics of division,” Baryomunsi advised.
Deputy National Treasurer at NRM Secretariat, Jacqueline Kyatuhaire who also represented the Party Secretary General at the function commend the people of Kisoro leaders for loving and supporting President Museveni.
She called upon voters in Bukimbiri County not to relent until Kwizera wins and goes back to parliament.
Director for communication at NRM secretariat, Emmanuel Dombo Lumala said asked locals to support an NRM member of parliament who will work well to implement the current party manifesto.
