Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, the Head of Office of the National Chairman – NRM Party has disagreed with Fred Nayebare Kyamuzigyita, Rukiga Resident District Commissioner, and Caroline Kamusiime Muhwezi, Rukiga District Woman Member of Parliament over politicizing wealth creation donations.
Namyalo who has been traversing several regions in the country while donating brick and chapati-making machines, groundnuts grinders, sewing machines, maize and cabbage seeds, battery charges, and hair salon machines among others to associations said that the donations will lift the beneficiaries from poverty.
Namyalo said that her “self-empowerment” program is easier to benefit from than other government programs like Operation Wealth Creation, Emyooga, and the Parish Development Model, which involve excessive bureaucracy.
While meeting association members from Kigezi sub-region at Kantare playground in Rutengye parish, Rukiga district, Namyalo clashed with Kyamuzigyita and Kamusiime over politicizing the program’s objectives.
It all started when Kamusiime arrived at the function and found the majority of the association members donning campaign T-shirts popularizing Dr. Sylvia Alinaitwe Mwanaki Tumuhairwe, the Deputy Managing Director of Finance and Corporate Strategy at the National Water and Sewerage Corporation.
Mwanaki also a resident of Kamwezi Sub County in Rukiga district has declared her intention to contest for Rukiga District Woman MP seat in 2026.
Namyalo accompanied by Mwanaki arrived a few minutes later and was seen distributing money to members of the association.
Kyamuzigyita accused the organizers of the function of involving politics to create a situation that the donations belong to individuals yet they are from the Office of the President.
Kyamuzigtyita argued that the situation creates confusion among the people in the district.
Kyamuzigyita was backed by Kamusiime who argued that using the program to campaign for people interested in her seat is creating division in the district.
In response, Namyalo accused Kyamusizgyita and Kamusiime of sabotaging the program.
Namyalo also denied allegations by Kyamusigyita and Kamusiime that the tools are solely from the Office of the President arguing that the majority are mobilized from well-wishers.
