The Secretary- Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande has rallied the people of Greater Luwero to continue supporting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government for sustainable development.
“You people of Luwero should continue supporting President Museveni. He will come back in 2026 and continue leading Uganda. Continue supporting him until God decides that he should stop leading Uganda because leadership comes from God,” he said.

The Secretary-Office of the President further explained that the NRM government holds Greater Luwero in high esteem due to its crucial role in the protracted bush war that ushered President Museveni into power in 1986.
“We believe that Luwero is the reason why Uganda is now peaceful. Continue supporting the government, it will also reciprocate by giving you what you deserve.”
On the other hand, Hajji Kakande requested the family of Mr. Kasozi to keep the legacy of the fallen bush war veteran alive.

“Behave well and do good to others. God will continue blessing and providing for you,” he said.
“Do you worship God? Do you go to the Mosque or the Church? We should return to God and do what pleases Him. Always ask for forgiveness from God knowing that one day you will have to return to Him whether you like it or not.”
