DSG Rt. Hon. Rose Namayanja Nsereko

Earlier today, led by NRM Secretary General @TodwongR and accompanied by me, National Treasurer @HonAmbNekesa , Commissioners of the Party Electoral Commission and other Directors, we officially broke ground for the construction of the Luwero District NRM offices. This is one of 21 district offices that will be constructed by @NRMOnline across the country. The Luwero District NRM office will be located at Ntangaala Village in Katikamu Sub-county, Luwero District along Kampala Gulu highway. We extend our sincere appreciation to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for providing the funds towards the purchase of the land and construction of these offices. This investment will strengthen the Party's structures and enhance its presence at the grassroots. I urged NRM leaders in Luwero to make effective use of the office as a centre for mobilisation, coordination and monitoring of government programmes, particularly the Parish Development Model (PDM). With Luwero district having received over UGX 41 billion under the programme, our leaders have a responsibility to mobilise communities, promote awareness and encourage residents to embrace the opportunities it offers. I also challenged the District leadership to utilise the office to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, unity and organisation as they work towards rebuilding the Party's structures across the district. Luwero holds a special place in the history of the National Resistance Movement as the cradle of the liberation struggle. I emphasised that unity, cooperation and renewed commitment among NRM district leaders are essential as the Party works to reclaim its political representation across the district.

On Friday, I addressed the NRM Parliamentary Caucus at the Auditorium of the President’s Office, where I provided an update on the Party’s performance in the 2026 Presidential and Local Government elections. I reviewed the principal lessons arising from the 2025–2026 electoral cycle and outlined the Secretariat’s proposed approach to reconciliation, unity and the strengthening of internal cohesion within the Party. To this end, the Secretariat has proposed a structured reconciliation programme targeting districts and constituencies where internal tensions and disagreements remain unresolved. The programme will bring together District and Constituency Executive Committees, flag bearers, unsuccessful aspirants, grassroots leaders and other relevant stakeholders to promote dialogue, rebuild trust and restore unity. The initiative will also involve the deployment of senior NRM leaders to facilitate reconciliation efforts and address disputes that may prove difficult to resolve at the district or city level. The immediate priority of the NRM Secretariat is to consolidate the gains of the 2026 elections, address internal disagreements constructively, strengthen the Party’s institutional capacity and ensure greater cohesion and unity as we move forward. The Secretariat will continue working closely with Government and all relevant Party organs, including the NRM Parliamentary Caucus, to ensure effective coordination and implementation of the Party’s priorities and objectives for the 2026–2031 period. Our focus must now be on unity, reconciliation, institutional strengthening and translating the Party’s electoral mandate into tangible results for the people of Uganda.

Earlier today, together with NRM Treasurer Barbara Nekesa, NRM Electoral Commission Commissioner Ambassador James Williams Kinobe, and Director of Legal Services, Counsel Enoch Barata, I met with the Luwero District NRM Executive Committee to discuss plans for the construction of party offices and address internal differences arising from the election of an Administrative Officer. I called upon local leaders to put aside their differences, embrace unity and strengthen their collaboration in advancing the party's activities. I also urged them to intensify efforts to monitor and promote the implementation of the NRM Manifesto, particularly through government wealth creation initiatives such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga. I emphasized that cohesive, well-coordinated party structures are essential for strengthening the party's presence and rebuilding its representation in Parliament and local government in the district. H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni already extended financial support to the Luwero District NRM leadership towards the establishment of party offices. Land has already been secured, paving the way for the construction project. As part of the party's broader institutional development agenda, NRM plans to construct party offices in 21 districts across the country.

I thank Almighty God for saving my life following a road accident in 2015. What was once a painful experience has now become a powerful purpose and a mission to save lives. I have turned my personal encounter into a commitment to make our roads safer and protect others from experiencing the same pain. Yesterday, through the Rose Namayanja Foundation, I officially launched a road safety awareness campaign, beginning along the Kampala–Gulu Highway. This campaign is more than just an awareness initiative; it is a mission to educate road users, promote responsible behaviour, prevent accidents and, most importantly, save lives. I survived for a purpose, and I believe that purpose is to help save others.

In October 2015, while travelling to Nakaseke, I was involved in a horrific road accident at Kigoogwa along the Kampala–Gulu Highway. The accident involved a head-on collision with a truck that had lost control while attempting to avoid a cyclist on the road. The crash left me with permanent injuries. In order to save my life, I had to undergo six major operations. Eleven years later, I continue to live with the physical and emotional effects of that traumatic experience. On Tuesday through the Rose Namayanja Foundation, I turned that painful experience into a mission to save lives. I officially launched a road safety awareness campaign at Wobulenzi Taxi Park, aimed at sensitising drivers, passengers and pedestrians about the causes of road accidents and the importance of responsible road use, particularly as we approach the festive season. At the launch, I challenged drivers to take personal responsibility for road safety by: Always wearing seatbelts. Avoiding reckless and dangerous driving. Ensuring their vehicles are in good mechanical condition. Refraining from using mobile phones while driving. Respecting other road users, including cyclists and pedestrians. Through this campaign, we intend to work closely with the Police and other stakeholders to intensify road safety awareness, beginning with drivers along the Kampala–Gulu Highway. The statistics are alarming. At least 233 people reportedly died in road crashes in the Savannah Region alone in 2025. Furthermore, more than 24,000 young people lost their lives in road crashes over the five-year period . Behind every statistic is a human being, a family and a future cut short. For me, this is more than a campaign. I am not simply joining the fight against road accidents; I am both a champion and a victim. I know firsthand the devastating consequences of road crashes, and I am determined to use my experience to prevent other families from going through the pain I have endured. Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Every life matters, and every accident we prevent is a family spared from unimaginable grief. I sincerely thank the drivers along the Kampala–Gulu Highway, the Police Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety, and all the organisations and stakeholders who have embraced and supported this campaign. Drive , Ride or Walk Carefully, family needs you . @M_Kananura

May you enter this holy Sabbath with renewed hope, trusting that God is working all things according to His perfect will. Wishing you and your family a peaceful, joyful, and hope-filled Sabbath. Happy Sabbath! @sdanajja_ch @AdventistOnX

On Monday, I had the pleasure of visiting the College of Veterinary Animal Resources and Biosecurity (COVAB) at Makerere University, where I engaged with the Principal, the Dean of the School of Biosecurity, Biotechnical and Laboratory Sciences, their respective teams, as well as representatives from Anaweza Nutrition Academy and AFRISA. I was particularly impressed by their commendable efforts to develop and promote cutting-edge, cost-effective innovations in animal nutrition, including the use of Azolla and other alternative feed resources to improve animal health, productivity, and livelihoods. Our discussions focused on how we can introduce, promote, and scale up these innovative technologies among beneficiaries of the Parish Development Model (PDM) through practical demonstrations, farmer training, and the establishment of hands-on learning centres. We explored opportunities to equip farmers with practical skills in Azolla cultivation, harvesting, and its appropriate use as a supplementary feed ingredient to enhance animal nutrition and reduce livestock production costs. Together with some of our extension officers, we also explored opportunities for strategic collaboration with the University to deliver practical training in animal nutrition, feed quality management, and applied research tailored to the needs of PDM beneficiaries. This partnership will help bridge the gap between the innovative solutions emerging from our academic institutions and the everyday challenges faced by farmers, while strengthening their knowledge, skills, and capacity for sustainable livestock production. We look forward to working closely with COVAB, Anaweza Nutrition Academy, and AFRISA to popularise Azolla farming and other innovative, affordable, and sustainable agricultural practices. These initiatives have the potential to improve farm productivity, lower production costs, increase household incomes, and contribute meaningfully to the objectives of the Parish Development Model. By harnessing the power of research, practical knowledge, innovation, and strategic partnerships, we can empower our farmers to become more productive, resilient, and prosperous. Our commitment is to ensure that proven and practical innovations reach the farmers who need them most, transforming agricultural potential into tangible improvements in household livelihoods.

Happy Independence Day Uganda , embrace sovereignty.

I have officially concluded a two-day training for Parish Development Model (PDM) SACCO leaders and beneficiaries from parishes across Semuto Sub-County, Nakaseke District The training equipped PDM SACCO leaders with practical skills in programme management, financial management, and loan recovery. I urged local leaders to prioritise monitoring the programme, given its role as a flagship government initiative aimed at supporting households to move out of poverty. I also encouraged leaders to join PDM SACCOs—not necessarily to access loans, but to actively participate in meetings and follow up on programme activities. My husband, Hon. Charles Nsereko Basajjassubi, and I will join Kirema PDM SACCO as members to lead by example and encourage other leaders to actively participate. I also urged the beneficiaries to reject any form of extortion and to promptly report any PDM leader who solicits money from them in exchange for facilitating the disbursement of loans. I thank the Rose Namayanja Foundation and @ugandafo for organising this important training.

Happy Sabbath
