Ambassador, Hon. Nekesa Barbra Oundo has commended the Religious leaders across the country for bringing unity among Ugandans. “I’m very happy to see that the Religious leaders are bringing unity among our religious groups but secondly, even the churches are beginning to get involved in wealth creation, doing exactly what Jesus did when he worked in the carpentry of Joseph to be able to produce and support the hungry or the poor. I really congratulate you for finally being in the footsteps of Jesus. I’m very happy to see that you are moving together,” she said. Amb. Nekesa made the remarks today in an exclusive interview with our reporter.According to Nekesa, the government is ready to work to ensure that all Ugandans join the money economy, in order to enable them to fight poverty and create wealth. “The NRM Government is ready to work with all its stakeholders to fight poverty at household level. Currently, 67 percent of our people are really in the money economy and those still outside the money economy are 33 percent but even the 67 percent are not fully using the resources well, they need to be advised but we are moving, that is why Uganda has got a lot of production, a lot of food but we are going to do much more than that,” she explained. “If we do that, all those problems like jobs will be dealt with through wealth creation.”On the other hand, Nekesa highlighted some of the government interventions like the Parish Development Model (PDM) that have helped Ugandans to join the money economy. “I want thank President M7 for the pdm indicative. PDM is moving on well in many areas. She further noted that the country is peaceful because of the NRM government’s doctrine of “no discrimination and no sectarianism”. “Jesus said several times that we shall know them by their fruits not what they say or claim to be. How could you say that you are dividing the people on behalf of God?” he wondered. Nekesa also thanked God for the peace in Uganda that has enabled the nation to develop without any interruption. “We say thank you Lord because you are the very source and the originator of peace. We thank you that we have experienced that peace this year, even the years before,” she noted. “I thank the Lord, for the visionary leadership of our President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for you have raised him up to be a father of this nation and in the region and even in our continent. Thank you, Lord, for giving him the wisdom, strength and the ability to lead your people into greater peace and prosperity.”Nekesa concluded by wishing all Ugandans and the whole world at large a happy new year 2026 and urged them to vote for President M7 and all the nrm flagbearers.
