KAMPALA, UGANDA — President Yoweri Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party’s leader, has convened an urgent meeting with NRM Members of Parliament at State House Entebbe this Friday, March 14, 2025, at 12pm. The lack of a disclosed agenda has fueled intense speculation among lawmakers.
A directive issued by Government Chief Whip Denis Hamson Obua mandates attendance, with all MPs required to undertake COVID-19 testing on Thursday, March 13, prior to the gathering. This meeting follows a prior session where MPs pledged their support for the ten key priorities within the National Budget 2025/2026.
The sudden call for this caucus has ignited diverse theories. Some MPs believe the meeting could center on the Rationalization of Government Agencies and Public Expenditure (RAPEX) initiative, a policy championed by President Museveni. Others speculate it might address the government’s focus on the socio-economic transformation of Ugandan citizens.
With the meeting drawing near, both parliamentarians and the wider public are keenly observing developments, recognizing the potential for significant consequences for Uganda’s trajectory and the NRM’s strategic goals.
