National Resistance Movement (NRM) members across the country have been advised not to miss the exercise of updating their particulars in the party’s register.
The five –day exercise that started on Wednesday March 13 is expected to end on Sunday March 17, 2024 in all villages across the country.
The Minister of State for ICT and National Guidance, Godfrey Baluku Kabbyanga Kime says the exercise seems to have been misinterpreted by a section of politicians for their selfish interests.
According to Kabbyanga, the sole aim of updating the register is to help the party ascertain the actual number of Ugandans who subscribe to the ruling party.
He also stresses that it has come to his knowledge that some people are moving around deceiving the population that NRM is registering her members who will only vote in the forthcoming 2026 General Elections.
Kabbyanga categorically puts it clear that the party wants to know her numerical strength; a reason the National Chairman, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni recently advised the registrars to register new members including those aged 16.
However, Mr. Selevano Kiiro Mulhondi, the Kasese Municipality NRM Chairperson, supports the idea of registering students in the yellow book but suggests that they should be registered from their home villages but not the schools that they are studying from.
In his recent communication, Gen. Museveni advised that in mobilizing for and execution of the exercise, those tasked with the responsibility of managing the work must be cadres who are engrained in the other three ideological principles of the National Resistance Movement including patriotism, pan Africanism and socio-economic transformation.
