Museveni launches NRM newspaper
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
A newspaper that seeks to promote the agenda of the ruling National Resistance Movement-NRM party has been unveiled. President, Yoweri Museveni launched the PUBLIC LENS during the 31st NRM anniversary celebrations at Masindi Sports ground this afternoon.
According to Museveni, the paper will help NRM to speak to the public. Richard Todwong, the NRM Deputy Secretary General, says the PUBLIC LENS will help the party to communicate facts and document the achievements of the NRM Government.
He dispelled fears that the paper will compete with the government owned New Vision. "The New vision is doing some good work but this is for the Party. It's going to help the party document the achievements as per the Manifesto pledges," he said.
Todwong also said the paper will be more detailed than the 'snap' news in other newspapers. The newspaper will be published monthly.
