The President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged all NRM Members of Parliament to take charge of the supervision of all government’s wealth creation programs that includes Parish development model (PDM), Emyooga among other initiatives.

“Your job is to check whether Ugandans get the services from the government. It is very easy work for you.”he said
The President also encouraged the MPs to promote environmental conservation, specifically highlighting the Limoto Pilot project, which aims to shift people from rice growing in swamps to fish farming at the edges of the swamps.
“Talk to our people to adopt the Limoto Pilot project which i started sometime ago, to shift out people from rice growing in the swamps to fish farming at the edges of the swamps,” he said.
In addition, Museveni cautioned the caucus members against corruption, stating that it has become a significant problem. “Corruption has become a big problem. You will hear some stories, we are arresting quite a good number of people, even here among my staff we are arresting. You better watch out and we crush this evil.”
Obua informed the MPs that President Museveni will resume his zonal tours in October to monitor and evaluate wealth creation initiatives.
The tours aim to promote practical solutions to wealth creation, household income, and socio-economic transformation using the four-acre model, PDM, Emyooga, and seven enterprises, among others.
