President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has commended the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Parliamentary caucus members on value addition.
President Museveni noted that the NRM MPs had concurred with him that value addition should be implemented because it benefits all Ugandans.
The President made the remarks today during the ongoing 10-day NRM Parliamentary Caucus retreat at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi. The retreat is running under the theme: “Increasing Household Incomes and Wealth creation:The critical Role of the Leader”.
“How much money does Uganda lose in exporting unprocessed Coffee? That should be the question,” President Museveni said.
“I am happy to hear that now you agree with me that value addition is a minimum position for all of us; for me and you.Once we have good roads and electricity in place, all other sectors will follow, but let’s start with power and electricity,” President Museveni advised.
President Museveni further urged the MPs to always prioritize key sectors in budget allocation saying that once key sectors like roads and electricity are worked on, the rest of the areas can also be worked on.
