The NRM Secretary General, Rt Hon Richard Todwong, has hailed the community in Greter Luweero sub-region for the sacrifices made during the liberation struggle.
Todwong appreciated the community on Thursday as he broke ground for the construction of the state-of-art office for the Party in Luweero district.
Earlier today, the leaders at the secretariat launched the construction of more than 20 district offices spread across the country.
Todwong, accompanied by the top management officials, presided over the breaking of the ground ceremony at Ntangaala Village in Katikamu as he handed over the project to the NRM leaders of Luweero district.
“We commenced the building of party offices from here because this district has a very big significance to our bush war liberation struggles. You sacrificed your lives to ensure a peaceful country,” Todwong said.
Todwong also revealed that the NRM Chairman and President Yoweri Museveni will in the coming days launch the building of party headquarters in Nakasero, Kampala.
He commended the people of Luweero for supporting President Museveni and the NRM party.
“The 71.6 per cent victory in the 2026 general elections gave us confidence to continue with works aimed at improving the lives of all Ugandans,” he said.
The Deputy Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Namayanja Rose Nsereko, welcomed the office construction as she praised the people of Luweero for loving and trusting the Movement.
“I pledge my full commitment and support to ensure completion is prompt. We shall not tolerate laziness and any form of corruption in awarding the tender,” Namayanja warned.
“This will be our permanent home and we shall use it to enhance mobilization and service delivery through coordinating with other government bodies,” she added.
The one-acre land was procured by the money that was donated to the secretariat by the party Chairman and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The NRM National Treasurer, Amb. Barbara Nekesa Oundo, said regional project supervisors have been established to enforce accountability, quality control and adherence to procurement guidelines.
“Local contractors within Luweero district will be prioritised, subject to rigorous due diligence including verification of registration, tax compliance, technical capacity and beneficial ownership to prevent conflicts of interest. The simultaneous construction of offices is projected to take about nine to ten months,” Nekesa said.
The Minister for Luweero Triangle, Hon. Alice Kaboyo, welcomed the project as a sign of the Party's commitment to the area and urged residents of Greater Luwero to maximise household income initiatives such as PDM, Emyooga, and the Youth Livelihood Programme.
The NRM District Chairman for Luweero, Sam Buchanan, said the resources for the initial phase of construction are available as he vowed that the new office will serve as a springboard to reclaim political dominance in the district.
"We are going to work with every leader to mobilise and ensure that the NRM regains its position in the district leadership. We shall uproot every position occupied by an opposition leader, because the base from which to carry out our mobilisation work will now be in place. We shall also work on the unity of our leaders at the grassroots, because Luweero is the baseline for bringing the NRM government into the leadership of Uganda," Buchanan said.
The Deputy National Treasurer, Hon. Jacqueline Kyatuhaire, Director of Mobilisation Dr. Rosemary Nansubuga Seninde, Commissioners of the Electoral Commissioner; Hon. James Kinobe, Hon. Jane Alisemera, Hon. Juliana Auma Modesta, Mr James Tweheyo and Hon. Driwaru Zaitun all attended the function.
