Bushenyi, Uganda – Hon. Annet Katusiime Mugisha, the Bushenyi District Woman MP, recently addressed constituents at two separate rallies, outlining her accomplishments and future plans for the region.
The first rally, held at Buramba Primary School in Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality, and the second at Rushiinya in Nyakabingo Parish, Kakanju Sub-county, showcased a consistent commitment to community development.
At both events, Mugisha expressed gratitude to local leaders for their collaboration in implementing government initiatives and mobilizing support. She detailed significant achievements during her current term, focusing on improving infrastructure, access to essential services, and economic empowerment. These included:
Infrastructure Development: Securing UGX 2 billion for district road upgrades, lobbying for UGX 11 billion for the Warugo Water Treatment Plant (nearing completion), and facilitating the construction of two additional classrooms at Nyakabingo Primary School. She also oversaw road construction projects and supported infrastructure upgrades at churches and mosques. Furthermore, she facilitated the installation of water pipes to expand access to clean water.
Economic Empowerment: Establishing savings groups (“saving grounds” and “saving boxes”) and strengthening SACCOs to boost household incomes. She also provided training and resources to women, distributed coffee seedlings to farmers, and supported income-generating poultry projects. Her efforts extended to advocating for wider access to government programs like Emyooga and the Parish Development Model (PDM), which have received over UGX 1 trillion in government investment.
Service Delivery Improvements: Supplying cement, books, and scholastic materials to schools; donating hospital beds and medical equipment; and actively advocating for a District High Court Circuit to improve access to justice. She also prioritized leadership development through training programs for local leaders. Partnerships with the Ministry of Water and private sector stakeholders, like Roofings Group, further enhanced clean water access.
Looking ahead, Mugisha pledged continued commitment to several key areas:
Further Infrastructure Development: Securing additional funding for water pipe expansion, advocating for rural electrification through the Ministry of Energy, and collaborating on the construction of a functional parish office and the renovation of Kakanju Sub-county headquarters. She also plans to partner with municipal leadership to install street lighting.
Sustained Economic Growth: Expanding access to savings initiatives, continuing distribution of poultry and coffee seedlings, and strengthening agricultural support to boost household incomes.
Throughout both rallies, Mugisha urged constituents to support President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, highlighting his visionary leadership and the transformative impact of his inclusive development agenda, emphasizing the alignment of local development with the NDP III and Vision 2040 frameworks. The events concluded with a strong message of unity and continued collaboration between the MP and her constituents.
