**Museveni Launches Busoga Campaign Trail in Bugiri, Promises Water Access and Infrastructure Development**
**Bugiri, Uganda** – On Saturday, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni officially launched his campaign trail in the Busoga sub-region, underscoring the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and essential services for the people of Uganda. Speaking to a large crowd in Bugiri District, Museveni emphasized the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) achievements in uniting the nation and restoring peace while outlining his vision for the future of Busoga, particularly with regard to water supply and road development.
In his address, Museveni highlighted the importance of ensuring that all Ugandans have access to reliable clean water and the construction of more roads to connect rural areas to urban centers. “Our goal is to ensure that every Ugandan has access to clean and safe water,” Museveni declared, stressing that his administration has made significant strides in expanding water infrastructure across the country.
In addition to water, the President promised substantial investments in road construction to boost connectivity in the region. “We are going to ensure that roads are built in every part of Uganda, especially here in Busoga, to ease transportation, facilitate trade, and improve the lives of our people,” Museveni stated.
The President’s visit to Bugiri marks the beginning of his re-election campaign in Busoga, a region known for its strong NRM support. The campaign trail is expected to cover several districts, with a focus on outlining the progress the government has made in the region, particularly in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
Museveni also touched on the issue of security, reassuring the people of Busoga that the government is committed to maintaining peace and stability, which he believes are crucial for the development of the region. He praised the role of the NRM in fostering national unity and addressing past conflicts, noting that Uganda is now enjoying peace and development, which he described as the foundation for future growth.
**Promises of Progress and Development**
President Museveni’s speech in Bugiri was filled with promises of continued government support for infrastructure projects in the region. He assured locals that his administration would prioritize the completion of key road networks, including the upgrading of major highways that connect Bugiri and surrounding districts to the rest of Uganda.
Furthermore, Museveni spoke about the government’s ongoing initiatives to improve the water supply in rural areas. “We are working on providing reliable water systems in all parts of Busoga. No Ugandan should suffer from a lack of clean water,” he said, emphasizing the importance of water access for health and economic productivity.
The President’s address resonated well with many in the crowd, who expressed support for the NRM’s policies and achievements under Museveni’s leadership. Many local leaders and residents in Busoga praised the government’s efforts to improve infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, which have historically been underserved.
As the campaign trail continues across the region, Museveni’s team is focused on reinforcing the message of development and security, while highlighting the NRM’s role in transforming Uganda into a more prosperous and unified nation.
**Looking Ahead**
The launch of the Busoga campaign trail is seen as a critical moment in President Museveni’s re-election bid, as the region is considered an important stronghold for the ruling party. With promises of more roads, reliable water systems, and continued peace, Museveni is aiming to solidify his support in Busoga and build momentum heading into the 2026 general elections.
The NRM’s ongoing efforts to address critical issues in rural development, including access to clean water and improved infrastructure, are likely to be central themes throughout the campaign, as the President seeks to secure another term in office.
The next few weeks will see Museveni and his team visiting other districts in Busoga, where he will continue to outline his vision for the future and engage with local communities on their needs and aspirations.
