One of the pledges by the NUP head Kyagulanyi to Nakaseke residents included restoring land grabbed from them, streamlining education and health facilities to agreeable levels, and giving peasants hope of good prices for their produce to get on the road to genuinely get out of poverty.
Nakaseke South MP Paulson Luttamaguzi Ssemakula has reported to NUP presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu that in addition to the property they lost in the war that ushered in the current NRM leadership, their plots of land are being grabbed by gunmen, leaving them in utter frustration.
Luttamaguzi’s statement was echoed by Nakaseke Central MP, Allan Mayanja who reported that army men forcefully take people’s land, while in Kikamulo sub-county, there is no government health unit save for a maternity, while Nakaseke district NUP flag bearer Esther Nakawooya said that even the few health units have neither enough staff nor drugs.
This was contained in residents’ outcry to Kyagulanyi during his ongoing countrywide round of asking for votes, at a rally at Kamuli Church of Uganda Primary School in Nakaseke district where he was accorded a tumultuous welcome by jubilant crowds
He travelled in a long motorcade of supporters including cars and motorcycles, and in some sections of the journey, he passed through arches constructed to seal their support for his presidential bid.
At Ssemuto, Kyagulanyi was welcomed by groups in wild drumming, dancing and ululations in the midst of heavy police and UPDF deployment.
He made brief stopovers at Ssemuto, Kapeeka and Namusaale and made brief addresses to the waiting crowds. The crowds who kept referring to Kyagulanyi as ‘our next president’, narrated their ordeal including low crop costs, poor roads, inadequate health and education standards, poverty and land grabbing.
MPs were led by Buganda NUP Vice President, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi followed by flag bearers at various levels.
