National Resistance Movement (NRM) Secretary General Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong hosted a delegation of European Union ambassadors, led by H.E. Jan Sadek, at the Party Secretariat to strengthen diplomatic ties.
SG Todwong said the EU delegation and the secretariat leaders discussed issues related to good governance, accountable leadership and strategies to team up against the vice of corruption.
On the recent political violence, Todwong assured the diplomats of the government’s commitment to ensure that perpetrators are held responsible and victims compensated.
He also briefed the delegation on President Museveni’s ongoing Parish Development Model tours across the country that are aimed at assessing the initiative’s effectiveness among the beneficiaries.
“At the moment, the National Chairman of the Party, who is also the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, is visiting various areas of interest and interacting with communities across the country. This is part of assessing how far the party’s manifesto has been implemented in those Areas,”
Todwong said, adding “It is an opportunity to account for what the party and government have achieved during the time they entrusted us with their mandate.”
