#Parish Development Model

Parliament has adopted an amended motion urging the Government to aggressively scale up funding and operational support for smallholder farmers under the National Smallholder Farmers Transformation and Climate Resilience Programme, rejecting proposals for a new law after lawmakers cited sufficient existing statutes and identified poor policy implementation as the real bottleneck.

The Minister for Local Government Hon. Barugahara Balaam Ateenyi has issued a stern directive barring public servants on interdiction from returning to office before criminal and administrative investigations are concluded, emphasizing that revised Public Service Standing Orders prevent automatic reinstatement even after the mandatory six-month timeline expires.

The Secretary in the Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande, has cautioned Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) and security coordinators against complacency, directing them to proactively inspect government projects and resolve implementation bottlenecks rather than waiting for visiting ministers to expose corruption and administrative flaws.

Speaker of Parliament Jacob Marksons Oboth has cautioned grassroots administrators and parish chiefs in West Budama Central, Tororo District, against soliciting kickbacks or mismanaging Parish Development Model (PDM) disbursements, declaring zero tolerance for corruption within poverty-alleviation initiatives.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has ordered 10,017 newly passed-out police constables and immigration officers to reject corruption and ignore senior bosses who try to lure them into graft. Speaking at PTS Kabalye, the President emphasized that health and integrity are vital weapons for state service, while IGP Abas Byakagaba detailed plans to deploy the recruits to bridge a steep national police deficit.

President Museveni has used the reading of the Shs84.4 trillion FY 2026/27 budget to warn NRM and opposition politicians to aggressively monitor public funds or face prosecution. Read by Finance Minister Henry Musasizi, the budget prioritizes a 10.2% growth target, fueled by the Parish Development Model and upcoming commercial oil revenues.

President Yoweri Museveni has used the State of the Nation Address 2026 to order all non-performing public officials out of leadership.
