Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has tasked the head of ruling party Chairman\u2019s Office, Ms Hadijah Uzeiye Namyalo and other party leaders, to monitor funds channelled through the Parish Development Model, Emyooga and other key government development projects.<\/p>\n

Emyooga which falls under the Presidential Initiative on Wealth and Job creation and PDA projects were launched in 2019 and 2021 respectively as part of the broad government strategy that seeks to transform 68 per cent of the homesteads from subsistence to money economy. The money is channelled through the Saccos. Under PDM each parish is expected to receive Shs100m annually to help in the fight against poverty.<\/p>\n

However, Ms Namyalo revealed some people she didn\u2019t name especially in the benefiting districts, have already positioned themselves to steal the funds meant for poverty reduction. She asked leaders at all levels to join hands and monitor the government projects in the respective districts.<\/p>\n

She said this on Thursday at the official launch of NRM monitoring and mobilisation campaign that seeks to protect project funds from thieving officials. The NRM strategy seeks to reinforce the already existing government monitoring units within the respective ministries and agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not duplicating anything, we are simply backing other agencies in the fight against thieves. We are tired of people stealing public funds meant for poverty reduction,\u201d Ms Namyalo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more games and the President has directed us to monitor government projects and ensure all the funds reach intended beneficiaries in all the parishes. In our NRM Manifesto (2021-2026), we also undertook to improve livelihoods of our people through poverty reduction ventures like PDM, Emyooga and other income-generating projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Namyalo said this on Thursday at Bat Valley Primary School in Kampala where her NRM Bazzukulu group unveiled \u201cJajja Tova Ku Main\u201d campaign that seeks to promote President Museveni\u2019s 2026 bid.<\/p>\n

She explained that whereas Finance Ministry officials had released trillions of shillings to fight poverty among the urban poor, some of the beneficiaries had not received the money.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have here people from markets, boda bodas, salons, but all of them have told me that they have not yet received the money due to bureaucracy. But why should we put in place stringent measures to make the rich richer as the poor continue to suffer. We should be fair. It is our mandate to know who has the money for Kampala people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are those taking the poor people\u2019s money? Government releases trillions to fight poverty yet the percent of people who are poor in Kampala remain high,\u201dshe said.<\/p>\n

Mr Celestine Kamanyire from RISESI Salon operators and national association Sacco said they had never received the Emyooga money and asked Ms Namyalo\u2019s team to investigate the project.<\/p>\n

Maria Namitala who introduced herself as the Ghetto spokesperson, testified in the meeting that whereas President Museveni was committed to alleviating poverty among his electorates, \u201cthe selfish middlemen\u201d were frustrating his plans to enrich themselves at the expense of the intended beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

Another man who claimed to be a local council leader in Kampala alleged that some people had formed ghost saccos for the sake of stealing PDM and Emyooga funds meant for the poor.<\/p>\n

Ms Namyalo who was accompanied by local leaders in Kampala talked of \u201cfumigation \u201d plans without disclosing the details and asked the people of Kampala to supporting president Museveni\u2019s 2026 bid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have gathered here to request Kampala people to stay focused. Don\u2019t be diverted, we are determined to deal with all the thieves blocking progress. Let\u2019s support President Museveni to stay on the main road to promote steady progress in the city and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kampala and Metropolitan Affairs Minster, Ms Minsa Kabanda also requested the people of Kampala to stick to NRM instead running from one political party to another.<\/p>\n

She also promised to work with Kampala Capital City Authority, Inspector General of Government (IGG) and other government agencies to ensure that PDM, Emyooga and other development funds reach the intended beneficiaries particularly in Kampala city.<\/p>\n

Monica Mugabi an opinion leader attributed delays in distributing PDM funds to lack of data.<\/p>\n

Ms Mugabi claimed that data collected had started in January this year.<\/p>\n

Charles Ndugwa, the Chairperson of the boda bodas commended the president for considering boda boda in the fight against poverty.<\/p>\n
