The\nNational Resistance Movement (NRM) party Secretary General Hon. Justine Kasule\nLumumba has urged party mobilizers and supporters to limit large crowds as a\nway of controlling the novel COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing\nthe media at the party headquarters, Lumumba said that the party has rolled out\nthe village-based campaigns, and the party is conscious about the COVID-19\npandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\nrequested the village mobilizers to embrace the new normal and limit cross\ndistrict movements in their mobilization work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019I\nwant to call upon our mobilizers and supporters that campaigns are based at\nvillage level, at work places and at institutions. We encourage door-to-door,\nperson-to-person, house-to-house mobilisation. I know we have so many NRM\ncadres so many NRM supporters who would have loved to move from one place to\nanother to campaign for the party for all the candidates from president to\nlocal councils. But it is not so easy\nbecause we want everybody alive. That\u2019s why we have emphasized on village\nbased, work place, and institutions,\u2019\u2019 Lumumba said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lumumba\nalso said that, as an institution, the party had to make changes to suit the\nnew normal adding that funds from the party to support the different structures\nor individuals whether candidates or committees is banked directly to the\ndistrict accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019Every\ndistrict has an account we opened up where funds are sent direct. These funds\nare managed by district leadership. The signatories are the chairman of the NRM\nin the district, the treasurer and the administrative secretary,\u2019\u2019 Lumumba\nadds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\nhowever noted that, for logistics like t-shirts, posters, manifestos, and any\nother materials got from the secretariat to the district, are sent direct to\nthe district and the district leadership is supposed to deliver them to the\nvillages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019We\nare doing all these. In an effort to reduce the numbers that come at the\nsecretariat, reducing on exposure to the different people, leaders, supporters\nand members in order to reduce on the congestion. So it is our responsibility\nto protect every individual citizen of this country. We request NRM leaders to\nmanifest good examples to the rest of the political parties.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lumumba\ncalled on leaders of district, sub-counties for whatever materials they need to\ncommunicate through the call centre numbers for immediate help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
