NRM in the Press

PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has announced that the Government will compensate people who lost livestock to the Karimojong rustlers in the Teso sub-region. The President said it was a pity that Teso had gone through such agony due to poor governance and mistakes made by leaders.

 PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni yesterday commissioned 49 houses for Acholi traditional chiefs. The President also promised to build 54 houses for clan chiefs in Acholi sub-region during the 2006 campaigns. Museveni cut the tape at the newly-built four-bedroom house at the palace of the paramount chief, David Onen Achana II, at Laloro, Purongo sub-county in Nwoya district.

SEVERAL leaders in Lango, including the Amolatar Woman MP, Caroline Okao, defected to the NRM as President Yoweri Museveni launched his campaign in the sub-region. Addressing huge rallies in Amolatar and Dokolo districts, Museveni urged the people to vote for the NRM in the general elections next year.
