President Yoweri Museveni, who is also the NRM presidential candidate has said youth can only become rich if they are engaged in wealth creation but with a proper calculation.
The NRM presidential flag bearer made the remarks during a meeting with youth leaders from Kigezi at Nshwere Primary School in Kiruhura District.
“I was born in Ntungamo and by 1966, I had started realizing there was a big problem with our people who were nomads and used to move from one area to the other with their cattle. Their solution for diseases and pest was to run away from one place to the other with their livestock but in 1966 I held a meeting with them and they understood the problem,” Museveni said.
“When they understood the problem, they stopped moving and copied what the government stock farm in Mbarara was doing.”
The President who was speaking in the local dialect told the youth leaders that in order to solve the problem of little incomes for their homesteads, they ought to answer three key questions that he said rotate around expenditure and incomes for the families.
