In particular, he appreciated the Emyooga initiative which he says is a great block towards achieving the much desired economic transformation in Uganda.
As part of a fortnight-long monitoring tour of the Emyooga program, the State Minister for Finance, Planning, and Economic Development conducted the tour.
Muwanga Kivumbi says Emyooga is the only government program that does not consider political inclination for anyone to benefit.
With this, he encouraged his constituents to embrace the program and other government programs for the transformation of the community and country as well.
He further sounded a warning to all saboteurs of government programs in the district as well as embezzlers of government funds.
Additionally, he also implored leaders at the different levels to actively engage in all developmental programs. He also further cautioned them on contradictory actions that have in the past crippled some government programs.
