He is expected to comb the district next weekend.
While in the district, Museveni said that in the fight to eradicate household poverty, the National Resistance Movement has always and will continue to target the poorest of the poor in society because it is useless to have a small fraction of rich people in a sea of largely poor people in Uganda.
Addressing a public rally in Nyakagyeme Sub-County of Rujumbura County, Rukungiri District in South Western Uganda , the President said that in the fight against household poverty, the National Resistance Movement leadership need to borrow a leaf from the NRA/M methods of work during the liberation war and how it worked with peasants and the ordinary wananchi who were not the most powerful or the elite to liberate the country.
President Museveni who gave a start-up capital of Shs.110 million to 5 local Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) – Nyakagyeme Development SACCO, Nyakagyeme Youth SACCO, Nyakagyeme Boda-Boda SACCO, Boona Bageigahare Development Group and Matooke Traders’ SACCO to whom he donated a lorry to help transport their produce to the market – said that the fight against poverty has to be at the graassroot level targeting the most poor and vulnerable in society.
