The President was on Friday addressing a public rally at Kahunde playground in Isunga sub-county, Kagadi district.
The rally was part of the presidential performance assessment tour on wealth creation and PDM in Bunyoro sub-region.
“You should own the PDM initiative right from its administration to its reach and take on whoever attempts to mess up the initiative because this is a unique programme intended to enrich you at the grassroots,” said the President.
He also noted the government is to intensify its strategy for a free primary school per parish and a free secondary school per sub-county as a last-mile delivery for free education to all children across Uganda.
Museveni emphasized that free education is the ultimate solution to the high rate of school dropout for vulnerable children.
As such, he rallied the people of Bunyoro to monitor the programme and report to authorities anyone charging fees in government schools.
The President further explained how the government has seen the same free education initiative reach the tertiary/ university level through the presidential skilling hubs and public universities.
The rally was part of the presidential performance assessment tour on wealth creation and PDM in Bunyoro sub-region.
Meanwhile, he reiterated the government's commitment to scale up improvements in road construction works, water supply, electricity distribution, healthcare programmes and socio-economic empowerment initiatives.
His call to the people of Bunyoro is to embrace modern methods of farming like irrigation to enhance agricultural productivity.
On the issue of land evictions, Museveni ordered authorities in districts of Bunyoro sub-region to report to him individual landlords illegally evicting people off their land for action to be taken against them.
He emphasized that the land question was answered in the Constituent Assembly and subsequent land legislations that empower tenants and landlords rights and the former should comfortably stay on their pieces of land and utilize them for their wealth creation.
Additionally, he ordered State House Comptroller Jane Barekye to start on the process of setting up a new police station at Isumba sub-county headquarters as requested by the people of Kagadi.
The President also directed Barekye to deliver his sh300 million pledge to Birembo War veterans, among other donations to the people of Bunyoro.
He also re-echoed his call for wetlands conservation.
Museveni handed over a brand-new fully-equipped class B ambulance to Kagadi District Hospital to supplement the already existing district health services.
On her part, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja thanked President Museveni for the support to the people of Bunyoro and infrastructure development in the sub-region.
