President
Yoweri Museveni has cautioned leaders against sectarian tendencies.
Speaking at a meeting with leaders of Bugisu region comprising those in the districts of Mbale, Manafwa, Namisindwa and Bududa
at Mbale S.S grounds today on his campaign trail, Museveni said leaders should look at how people can perform and avoid knowing where they come from before serving them with their needs.
He
said that is what NRM came to end in Uganda adding that several leaders look at
religion, tribe among others before giving recommendation and the society ends up losing
good talented and performing citizens.
He
said sectarianism might not build a good army and other arms of government
sighting those governments of Amin and Obote who tried it and failed.
He
tasked leaders to look at people’s needs and refrain from understanding their
tribes and religion as that may lead to divisions in the county and may fail
service delivery.English bite//Cue in: “if you take…Cue out: … at their identity”//
Museveni
also asked leaders to encourage people not to work only for the stomach only but engage in business
agriculture where they will be able to save after consumption in their homes.
The said they should graduate from subsistence to commercial farming as it is in
the plan of NRM.
He
also asked leaders to identify a venture that can help them work for both home
consumption and for the market.
