By Augustine Mumbere,
Mr. Ronald Kabuku, the Kasese District FDC party chairperson has warned the ruling National Resistance Movement leaders from exaggerating the Parish Development Model whose funding will be done in a phased manner and not as presented to the intending beneficiaries.
He said the statements by some local leaders mainly from NRM seem to suggest that even if the intending beneficiaries stop their current businesses, the PDM strategy was to do it all for them.
Speaking to our reporter at his office based in Kasese Municipality yesterday, Mr. Kabuku said even when about 5000 people are in a parish, the project was to give about 100 beneficiaries in a particular financial year, far less compared to the population in a single parish.
Mr. Kabuku who called for simplified application forms for rural Ugandans, calls for more interpretation of the strategy before it leaves many idle and poorer. Mr. Kabuku speaking……
Mr. Kabuku like many other leaders however cleave the program only to the one million shillings to each of the beneficiaries but little do they know about strategy’s extensive attachments, including; value addition, industrialization and an improved road network among others to simplify production and marketing of goods and services.
