President Museveni, who is also the NRM chairman, will today morning address the new NRM party legislators, says the party Secretary General, Justine Kasule Lumumba.
“The MPs have been learning about the NRM principle for the past one week but tomorrow he will officially open the retreat. We shall put much emphasis on economic transformation and how to implement the NRM manifesto for 2021- 2026,”Lumumba said.
She noted that whereas they have begun with MPs, they will have retreats with party LC5 chairmen and sub-county chairmen to teach them the ideology.
“The core objective for the retreat is to ideologically re-orient the NRM leadership to enable them refocus on the socio-economic transformation of Uganda within the broader context of the survival of the African race given the current global pressures and challenge,” Richard Twodong, NRM Deputy Secretary General earlier confirmed.
He said the participants will be taken through the ideological foundation of the NRM, challenges and opportunities for Uganda, East Africa and Africa, assessment of the NRM’s past manifestos and prioritizing commitments of the 2021/26 NRM manifesto.
