Butaleja – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni praised Butaleja District for its steady development across key sectors, noting that the area has made remarkable progress in water access, electrification, agriculture, and social services.

Addressing thousands of supporters at Booma Grounds, the NRM Presidential flag bearer said the district’s achievements reflect improved planning, commitment, and effective use of government programs.

Museveni commended the district for attaining 94% safe water coverage, with 418 out of 443 villages now accessing clean water.
He further noted that all sub-counties have been electrified, save for a few headquarters that will soon be connected. In health, he highlighted the presence of a district hospital, a Health Centre IV, and 11 Health Centre IIIs, leaving only two sub-counties pending upgrades.

The President also applauded Butaleja’s success in irrigation farming, especially in the Doho and Walala schemes, where organized water usage has boosted rice production.
