The Minister of the State for Trade, Hon David Bahati has warned the Kabale District NRM party registrars against registering non-Uganda or underage persons as party members in the yellow book as registration of new members and register update exercise begins on Wednesday March 13th to 17th 2024.
Launched last month on Wednesday, 28, 2024 by H.E President Museveni who also doubles as the NRM National Chairman, the exercise for registering and updating details of members for the ruling party members is slated to kick off on March 13 ahead of the 2026 general election.
Mr Bahati, who is also the Kabale District National Resistance Movement (NRM) chairman was Saturday speaking to the party registrars during a workshop training on the rules of the registration exercise where he warned that anyone found guilty of such acts will be convicted of fraud, which attracts a minimum of 7 years in jail.
“Do not attempt to register non-Ugandans during the NRM party registration exercise. Any Sub County registrar or village coordinators involved in acts of illegal registration of members shall be convicted and sentenced to seven years imprisonment once proven guilty,” Minister Bahati warned.
“Make a clean NRM party register in your villages because this is the bottom line of strengthening our party,” he added.
