The Office of the National Chairman of the NRM, H. E Gen (Rtd.) Yoweri K. Museveni, under the able leadership of his Personal Assistant/Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs, Ms. Hadija Namyalo Uzeiye, held prayers today at their Kyambogo Office.
The prayers, attended by various NRM Party Leaders, Religious Leaders, ONC District and Regional Coordinators, and members of the public, recognized the strong will and support from God in ensuring that the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Mrs. Janet Kataha Museveni, completely recovers from the terrible Covid-19 attack.
The First Lady was afflicted by the Covid virus during the Christmas break while at their country home with her family in Rwakitura, Rushere Town Council, Kiruhura District.
The thanksgiving prayers were led by the Bishop of South Ankole Diocese, Rt. Rev. Nathan Ahimbisibwe, who thanked the Bazzukulu National Coordinator for continuously embracing the fear of the Almighty/Allah while carrying out various assignments under the Office of the National Chairman.
He observed that, for all this time, the First Lady has been a true mother of the nation through her fear of the Lord and a true flag of Uganda, whose motto is “For God and My Country.” The man of God recognized that it is for this reason that the Lord ensured her recovery from the deadly disease to maintain the flame of integrity and God-fearing behavior among the citizens she has led by example.
Rt. Rev. Ahimbisibwe observed that God has granted Hon. Mama Janet more time to accomplish her set mission, for which unity and togetherness should be at the forefront.
In a function attended by various dignitaries of the NRM Party, the District Woman MP for Rwampara District, Hon. Molly Asiimwe, a known close confidant of the First Lady, recognized that with the strong will exhibited by Mama Janet, she has been able to improve the education infrastructure of the country, including the growing list of Seed Secondary Schools, through her concerted diplomatic efforts to attract funding from various donors. She also attributed this to the fact that the Lord has maintained the First Lady in good health, and with this recovery, Ugandans should expect more accomplishments as she resumes her duties.
On her part, the National Coordinator of the Bazzukulu political group, who also serves as the head of the Office of the National Chairman, SPA/PA Hadija Namyalo Uzeiye, thanked the members who were able to make it to Kyambogo Gardens on short notice for the thanksgiving prayers.
She committed to the people that leadership through God-fearing will continue to take center stage in the Kyambogo office and thanked God for quick recovery and continued good health for Mrs. Janet Museveni. In turn, this ensures that the NRM National Chairman is always at peace while steering the country to great strength.
Ms. Namyalo informed the masses that the ONC foot soldiers were on their knees from the time the National Chairman broke the news of sickness, and indeed the Lord has answered these prayers and healed Mama Janet, the revered mother of the mighty country Uganda. To this end, the Bazzukulu are committed to continued prayers for full recovery and the ability to return to the National duties she has sacrificed her entire life to perform.
The Head of the ONC tasked Mama Janet to use this time to strengthen her hold on State House because with her, the President, who happily announced her recovery on Monday, 1st January 2024, has done his job ably while being sure that the mother of the nation is in charge. Hence, there is a need to have her around for many more years.
This ceremony was massively attended by members of the NRM CEC led by the Vice Chairman for Buganda Region, Hon. Godfrey Kiwanda; Cabinet Ministers, Members of Parliament, Leaders from KCCA, the NRM Secretariat, and other government top leadership.
