The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Secretary-General, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong, recently hosted a delegation of European Union ambassadors to Uganda, led by H.E. Jan Sadek, at the Party Secretariat.
The meeting focused on issues related to good governance, accountable leadership, and strategies to combat corruption.
Todwong emphasized the importance of these discussions, saying that they covered “issues related to good governance, accountable leadership and strategies to team up against the vice of corruption.”
The recent political violence in Uganda was also addressed, with Todwong assuring the diplomats that the government is committed to holding perpetrators accountable and compensating victims.
Todwong briefed the delegation on President Museveni’s ongoing Parish Development Model tours, which aim to assess the initiative’s effectiveness among beneficiaries.
“At the moment, the National Chairman of the Party, who is also the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, is visiting various areas of interest and interacting with communities across the country,” Todwong explained.
He added, “This is part of assessing how far the party’s manifesto has been implemented in those Areas… It is an opportunity to account for what the party and government have achieved during the time they entrusted us with their mandate.”
H.E. Jan Sadek, the EU Envoy to Uganda, expressed his satisfaction with the engagement, stating that it provided answers to concerns related to democracy, human rights, and freedom of speech in Uganda ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Sadek pledged the European Union’s cooperation with the Ugandan government to ensure the well-being of all Ugandans during and after the elections.
The meeting was attended by several high-ranking NRM officials, including Hon. Jacqueline Kyatuhaire, Director for External Affairs, Counsel Awich Polar, and Hon. Okwir Rabwoni, NRM’s Director of Youths and Institutions.
This meeting marks a significant step towards strengthening democracy and human rights in Uganda, as the country prepares for the 2026 general elections.
