THE FATBOY SHOW : There Is No Doubt Change Has Happened.

During his address, President Museveni highlighted the significant transformations in both infrastructure and the economy.

He pointed to the growth of Mubende, which, in his words, had expanded from a "bush" to a thriving area.

"When I come to Mubende and see how it has expanded, I get amazed," Museveni said. "There is no doubt the change has happened."

Reflecting on Uganda's economic past, Museveni noted the stark contrast between then and now. He recalled how under the Amin regime, only 9% of Ugandans were part of the formal money economy, while 91% lived hand-to-mouth.

"The Amin regime collapsed the economy," he stated, but added that the current government has worked to rebuild and diversify it.

Under his leadership, Uganda has undergone five critical stages: diversification, value addition, and more.

Museveni also touched on Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), acknowledging some negative perceptions of the program.

He emphasized that the government's intention was never to reward a few individuals, but rather to uplift the masses.

"There were only three people benefiting from it," he remarked, defending the program's purpose.

The President then addressed concerns over the Parish Development Model (PDM) programme, which has faced some scrutiny.

He urged local leaders to clarify the distribution channels of the PDM funds and made it clear that the government would cover any excess bank charges related to the funds.

"I direct that banks stop charging for PDM money," Museveni declared. "If officials are cutting excess funds from you, report them."

In a stern call to action, Museveni instructed Suzan Kasingye, the President's police officer, to open a police file and investigate any irregularities. He specifically cited the cases of Ruhweza and Kisakye, demanding accountability.
