President Yoweri Museveni has concluded his campaign trail in Busoga, highlighting key gains in security, infrastructure development, and wealth creation, a key indicator that he was set to take the campaign to Kigezi.

Speaking during his final stop in Jinja, Museveni said Busoga’s progress reflects the pillars on which the NRM has built Uganda.

He noted that the region was once affected by insurgencies, with groups like the Alice Lakwena rebels reaching Magamaga and Busede. “We brought peace to the whole country. That was the first pillar of Uganda’s house,” he said.
The President pointed to extensive government investment in the region’s infrastructure, citing improvements on the Jinja–Tororo road, the Jinja–Kampala highway, and earlier works on the Jinja–Kamuli route.

He announced that government now has funds to construct the long-awaited Jinja–Budondo–Mbulamuti–Kamuli road, a project he said had delayed due to competing national demands.
