As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in Buganda welcomes new leaders to replace the dead wood in our party structures, we stand at a pivotal moment. Our principal, President Yoweri Museveni, has devoted his life to building a prosperous Uganda, equipping us with a strategic vision and resources to transform lives. Yet, despite his steadfast leadership, we are stumbling. The middle and lower tiers of our political machinery are failing to deliver this vision to the people.

Everyone deserves a dad like Sudhir Ruparelia The send-off of Rajiv Ruparelia was painful but filled with love and lessons. Sudhir gave his son a grand send off he deserved. From joining family to lift his casket,to driving in the same funeral service vehicle. Too much love https://t.co/k9ynis3A5G
