The Spokesperson of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Parliamentary Caucus and Kagoma North Member of Parliament, Alex Brandon Kintu, has outlined the key agenda items ahead of a crucial caucus meeting scheduled for Friday with President Museveni at State House Entebbe.
Speaking to our reporter in an interview last evening, Kintu emphasised that the primary focus of the upcoming caucus will be on aligning national budget priorities for the 2026/2027 financial year.
According to Kintu, the caucus leadership retains the authority to invite individuals deemed relevant to ongoing discussions.
Kintu also addressed increasing political activity around regional representation, following the appearance of former Kawempe North parliamentary aspirant Moses Nsereko at the party headquarters on Kyaddondo Road, expressing interest in contesting for an East African Legislative Assembly MP position on the NRM ticket.
On governance and national unity, Kintu reiterated the government’s stance on dialogue and democratic principles.
The Friday caucus meeting is expected to be the final engagement between the NRM legislators and President Museveni before the new Parliament is sworn in. Confirming the development to this publication in recent days, Government Chief Whip Denis Hamson Obua stated that the meeting will begin at 12 pm and will focus heavily on budget priorities.
Obua indicated that key sectors under consideration include security, health, education, and infrastructure development. Particular emphasis will be placed on wealth creation initiatives such as the Parish Development Model, which remains central to the government’s economic strategy.
Obua further noted that elections to the East African Legislative Assembly are currently being handled as a legal matter by the party’s legal team, signalling possible disputes or procedural clarifications.
Meanwhile, some legislators within the NRM are pushing for broader discussions during the caucus, including the economic challenges linked to the on going Middle East conflict and reported incidents of violence during the 2026 general elections.
