Kibale East County MP seat NRM flag bearer for 2026 who also doubles as the current MP and Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze has taken his third week of campaigns trail to Kamwenge. He said its great fun to interact with wanainchi.
“I am very happy to see (as we cross many villages on our campaign trail ) many homes having on average 0.5-1 acre of coffee planted and also another good number of medium scale farmers with 10 acres and above also coming up…. Kamwenge is slowly emerging as a coffee hub. We used previously to dominate with maize, but it wasn’t that rewarding. I thank the President for his clarion calls on farming with #Ekibaro. #ProtectingTheGains,” Hon. Frank Tumwebaze said.
In related development, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze has appealed to hi bosses Rt Hon Annet Anitah Among (Speaker) and Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa to design a parliamentary calendar that allocates reasonable amount of recess time to MPs so to regularly have community barazas with constituents. He said they should do this if they continue to serve in those capacities or whoever will be there.
“Our people need to be listened to and we need to give them much attention,” Hon. Frank Tumwebaze said.
He said campaigns are tiring, but they offer an opportunity to the contestants canvassing, to listen, interact and have fun with their constituents/voters.
“You get to understand so deeply issues affecting people’s lives and livelihoods. You get to see the humble efforts of those working hard to improve themselves. You also get to learn some funny games of those that try to mislead & exploit our innocent wanainchi,” he said.
