The Director of Information and Publicity, Emmanuel Dombo, has said that newly elected Members of Parliament under the National Resistance Movement (NRM) are now well grounded in the party’s ideology and governance priorities following a week-long retreat.
The retreat, held at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi, was convened to realign both NRM MPs and independent legislators who lean towards the party with the NRM manifesto and national development agenda.
Dombo explained that the orientation was necessary to ensure that leaders clearly understand their role in delivering on the party’s pledges to Ugandans.
He noted that the sessions covered key areas, starting with the ideological foundation of the NRM, including its historical background and how it has sustained leadership for nearly four decades.
Participants were also taken through parliamentary procedures and operations by the leadership of Parliament, including the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, and Clerk.
The retreat is set to conclude tomorrow on Tuesday with a visit to Ngoma Farm, where resolutions from the sessions will be read and adopted.
