Speaking to the ONC manager SPA Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye who was the MC for both engagements said “The main challenge of NRM has been on the implementation stage. All the plans are well drawn as per the NRM manifesto 2021-26 and funds are availed but the corrupt people are a bottleneck to have the implementation goals achieved. I thank HE the President that he allowed the Bazzukulu to monitor the execution of the implementation part and all shortfalls are to be brought to his attention.”
Different ministries, departments, and agencies represented by their ministers and executive directors, have presented their milestones and plans towards achieving the NRM manifesto 2021-2026.
