Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has urged newly elected Members of Parliament to prioritise financial discipline and ideological clarity as they prepare to serve in the 12th Parliament.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking on the third day of the ongoing NRM leaders\u2019 retreat at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi, the President emphasised that sound financial management and principled leadership are essential for effective service and personal stability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pleased to hear presentations by experts on personal financial management and wealth creation for leaders. These are crucial areas that you must take seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that while Uganda\u2019s future is promising, leaders must remain grounded in ideology to avoid costly mistakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future is bright and everything is there, but you must be ideologically clear. If you are not, you will end up making mistakes. Always weigh your actions according to principles,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The President attributed persistent political challenges\u2014such as conflicts in party primaries, bribery, and arrests\u2014to ideological weaknesses among leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these mistakes, such as fighting in primaries, cheating, and arrests, are a result of ideological underdevelopment. Avoid shortcuts. If you take that route, you will fail. I appeal to you to practise principled politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further underscored the importance of long-term planning and self-reliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur financial independence is very important. You must plan from day one,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

The retreat also featured expert sessions on financial discipline, with facilitators warning legislators against reckless spending and poor financial planning.<\/p>\n

Prof. Moses Muhwezi, Principal of Makerere University Business School, cautioned that many leaders fall victim to \u201csudden wealth syndrome\u201d and lifestyle inflation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLifestyle inflation is dangerous. As your income increases, your expenses also rise, which affects savings and investment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He advised MPs to plan early, invest wisely, and maintain consistent savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncome alone does not create wealth; it is investment that creates wealth. If you cannot make money while seated, you will work until you die,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Another facilitator, Arthur Kiwanuka, encouraged legislators to build financial resilience and invest in sustainable sectors such as agriculture.<\/p>\n
