Although the politicians have the support, they lack the necessary training to lead them, advise, and direct them irrespective of their political ideologies,\u201d Ms Kiremerwa said.<\/p>\n<p>She made the remarks while commenting on the standoff between the Opposition and the government.<\/p>\n<p>The President\u2019s assistant said leaders quarrel in public because they are not trained to speak, or listen and don\u2019t know how to hold peaceful and productive discussions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen MPs who cannot say a word in a parliamentary session because they are not equipped to speak. They are elected by the community because they are active in the respective areas but not equipped to serve their electorate,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Kiremerwa said elected leaders fail to address national issues such as education, gender, health, and water.<\/p>\n<p>She called for a training centre to equip politicians with management and lobbying skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost institutions fail to deliver services to the people because most of the politicians are posted as senior managers in the government bodies but without the necessary skills. This means that they create gaps instead of helping to grow the bodies,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ms Kiremerwa, politicians need to undergo at least a six-month training to build their capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
