President Museveni has promised to increase funds for the National Agricultural Advisory Service (NAADs) to the tune of Shs1 trillion if Ugandans re-elect him in next year’s presidential elections.
Mr Museveni, who is contesting on the National Resistance Movement ticket said “due to high demand for seedlings, at least more Shs1 trillion will be injected into the NAAds.”
"Prioritization has helped us solve problems which have defeated so many people,” he said.
He was speaking at his second rally at Kasana Grounds in Luweero District.

He also promised to work out payments for veterans, explaining that "due to prioritisation, we could not do all things at the same time”.
"Now you hear some politicians talking of change. That they want change; change from what to what?" asked Mr Museveni.
According to Mr Museveni, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye can now freely campaign everywhere in the country because he (Museveni) ushered peace in Uganda.

"Besigye left (NRM) in 2001, and we still had a lot of problems like Kony, ADF. He is now enjoying peace. Now Amama Mbabazi has joined the same group (Besigye). Let him go, we will continue, as usual, "he said,
Mr Museveni also pledged to fight unemployment by attracting investors to set up factories in Uganda.
