Africa-Press – Uganda. President Museveni has emphasized the need to prioritize poverty alleviation over the creation of new cities and districts.
Speaking during an engagement with journalists from Greater Luweero, Museveni highlighted the importance of addressing the basic needs of the people.
“We should not concentrate on creating new cities and districts for the sake of it,” Museveni said. “What people need is income, security, jobs, and infrastructure. These are the things that will improve their lives.”
Museveni stressed that poverty alleviation should be the primary focus of the government, rather than creating new administrative units. “Should we concentrate on new cities and districts or poverty alleviation? I choose the latter,” he said.
The President’s remarks underscore the need for a pragmatic approach to development, one that prioritizes the welfare of the people over administrative or political considerations.
By focusing on poverty alleviation, the government can make a meaningful impact on the lives of Ugandans and drive sustainable development.
