“Let’s Go Celebrate With Our Newly Elected President” — Tactical Namyalo Mobilizes Millions For Museveni Inauguration

By Frank Kamuntu 

Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye has declared full readiness to mobilize millions of Ugandans for the forthcoming swearing-in ceremony of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the newly elected president, describing the event as a historic victory for ordinary citizens and supporters who fought tirelessly for his return to office.

Speaking during a meeting with journalists at her office in Kyambogo, the fiery political mobilizer and head of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) said preparations for the grand ceremony are already in high gear, with several stakeholders and security organs coordinating to ensure its success.

Namyalo revealed that Uganda is expected to host dozens of foreign dignitaries, including over 30 heads of state and international delegates who will witness the inauguration.

“We are more than ready to mobilize all Ugandans, especially the bazukulu, to witness the swearing-in of our grandfather who is our newly elected president,” Namyalo said. “Several meetings have already taken place involving security, the National Organizing Committee and other stakeholders to ensure the function becomes successful.”

She credited the ONC grassroots mobilization strategy for helping President Museveni secure an overwhelming victory in the recently concluded 2026 general elections, insisting that the support was built through direct engagement with ordinary Ugandans.

According to Namyalo, the ONC discovered that many government programs meant to uplift citizens were being frustrated by corrupt implementers and bureaucratic bottlenecks rather than failures from the presidency itself.

“The problem is not the President,” she emphasized. “The problem has been the implementers and bureaucracy that frustrate government programs.”

She cited initiatives such as the Parish Development Model, Emyooga and youth empowerment schemes, saying they were good programs whose impact had been slowed down by corruption and selfish interests at local government levels.

Namyalo particularly criticized district service commissions, accusing some officials of turning recruitment processes into corrupt enterprises where young professionals, especially women, are allegedly exploited before getting jobs.

She called for merit-based recruitment systems and warned that corruption in public institutions was crippling service delivery across the country.

On healthcare, Namyalo questioned how government hospitals continue to experience drug shortages while medicines reportedly expire in stores.

“How can medicine expire when hospitals have no drugs?” she asked, demanding accountability from responsible officials.

The outspoken mobilizer also urged government to focus on implementation after the swearing-in ceremony, saying Ugandans now expect practical solutions in the first 100 days of the new administration.

Among the priorities she highlighted were fighting corruption, strengthening agriculture, improving education, expanding Uganda’s export markets and accelerating oil production projects to stabilize fuel prices.

She expressed optimism that Uganda’s oil sector would transform the economy once refinery projects are completed, warning that delays risk frustrating citizens already struggling with high fuel costs.

Namyalo also defended the ONC’s popular “Munaku Twegatte” empowerment campaign among others, under which thousands of youth and women across the country reportedly received equipment such as sewing machines, welding machines, motorcycles, popcorn machines, car wash tools and startup capital.

She said the initiative was designed to give ordinary Ugandans practical opportunities to earn income and escape poverty.

“We decided to empower people directly because poverty is not permanent,” she said. “Even the rich need the poor. We wanted to ensure that people have something in their pockets and can improve their lives.”

The ONC boss further revealed that despite resistance, sabotage and criticism from some political actors within the ruling National Resistance Movement, her team remained focused on mobilizing support for Museveni.

She proudly declared that her political mission had been fulfilled after helping deliver what she described as a decisive 72 percent victory for the President.

“With all the insults, sabotage and attacks, we still protected the vote, mobilized the vote and secured victory,” Namyalo stated. “My journey has lived to its full expectation.”

She added that the swearing-in ceremony would symbolize not only President Museveni’s continued leadership, but also the triumph of grassroots mobilization and empowerment efforts championed by the ONC across Uganda.
