\n Kyankwanzi\u2013 The Newly elected Members of Parliament under the National Resistance Movement (NRM) are now well grounded in the party\u2019s ideology and governance priorities following a week-long retreat at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi, Director of Information and Publicity Emmanuel Dombo has said.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking on Sunday, Dombo said the retreat was convened to realign both NRM MPs and independent legislators who lean towards the party with the NRM manifesto and national development agenda.
\nHe explained that the orientation was necessary to ensure that leaders clearly understand their role in delivering on the party\u2019s pledges to Ugandans.
\n\u201cWhen members were elected, including those who are independent but NRM-leaning, we brought them here to align their thinking with the manifesto so that as leaders, they contribute effectively to delivering on the commitments of the party,\u201d Dombo said.
\nHe noted that the retreat has covered key areas, beginning with the ideological foundation of the NRM, including its historical background and how it has sustained leadership for nearly four decades.
\nParticipants were also taken through the procedures and workings of Parliament by its leadership, including the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, and Clerk, to better prepare them for legislative responsibilities.
\nDombo added that legislators were introduced to critical government frameworks such as the Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV), which aims to grow Uganda\u2019s economy from about 68 billion U.S. dollars to 500 billion dollars in the coming years.
\n\u201cThe members needed to understand what government plans to do and what role they must play to support that transformation,\u201d he said.
\nHe said the retreat featured presentations from key institutions, including the Ministry of Finance, the National Planning Authority, and the Office of the Prime Minister, all aimed at equipping MPs with knowledge on policy implementation and service delivery.
\nAccording to Dombo, the retreat will conclude on Tuesday esday with a visit to Ngoma farm, where resolutions from the sessions will be read and adopted.
\nBeyond formal sessions, he highlighted other activities such as ecumenical prayers, where leaders from different faiths joined in worship, and a contribution of about 3.2 million shillings raised by members to support a community school at the institute.
\nParticipants have also been engaged in daily physical exercises, which Dombo said are intended to promote health and reduce long-term medical costs, in line with broader national development goals.
\nHe emphasized that the retreat has strengthened cohesion among legislators, many of whom had not previously interacted despite coming from different parts of the country.
\n\u201cOver the days we have been here, members now know each other, have debated together, and gained a clear understanding of how government works,\u201d he said.
\nDombo expressed confidence that the shared orientation will improve coordination and efficiency in Parliament, making it easier for both the party and government to implement programs.
\n\u201cWith this common understanding, work will be easier for the presiding officers, smoother for the party, and faster for government,\u201d he said.
\nHe added that the ultimate goal is to ensure better delivery of services to Ugandans and to strengthen the party\u2019s performance in future elections.
