Uganda’s capital Kampala and surrounding areas were awash in yellow on Thursday, February 20, as thousands of Bazzukulu lined up on the streets to welcome President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on his visit to Namanve Industrial Park in Mukono.

The day was marked by high-energy mobilization efforts led by SPA/PA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, popularly known as Chief Muzzukulu, the Manager of President Museveni’s Office of the National Chairman (ONC Kyambogo) who spearheaded a massive turnout at Banda stage, along Jinja Road to welcome the President en route to Namanve Industrial Area.

From as early as 10am, the capital’s neighboring areas were buzzing with excitement as Hajjat Namyalo led a spirited mobilization campaign that saw thousands line up all way from Banda to Bweyogerere till Namanve.

Donning the iconic yellow colors, Bazzukulu from all walks of life including vendors, Boda Boda riders, and furniture traders, joined the spectacle, chanting praises for President Museveni and waving Uganda flags.

At around 4pm, the streets came to a standstill as the ONC team energized the crowd, reinforcing the message of continued support for the President’s leadership. Cheers erupted as the convoy carrying Jajja W’abazzukulu made its way through the enthusiastic crowd, marking yet another successful mobilization effort by the ONC leadership.

After the grand welcome, President Museveni proceeded to Namanve Industrial Area in Mukono District, where he officiated the launch of Piston Medical Ltd, Uganda’s first pharmaceutical factory dedicated to producing Small Volume Parenteral (SVP) and Large Volume Parenteral (LVP).

Addressing dignitaries, investors, and industry stakeholders, at the Namanve factory, President Museveni hailed the investment as a game-changer in Uganda’s medical and manufacturing sectors.

He emphasized his government’s commitment to industrialization and self-reliance, highlighting the factory’s role in reducing Uganda’s dependence on imported medical supplies.

The factory, which specializes in the production of critical intravenous (IV) fluids and other essential medical products, is expected to significantly boost Uganda’s healthcare system and provide employment opportunities for thousands of Ugandans.

Thursday’s ONC efforts showcased a blend of patriotism, economic progress, and mobilization power. From the electrifying reception in Banda led by Hajjat Namyalo to the historic commissioning of Piston Medical Ltd, the activities underscored the continued impact of President Museveni’s leadership in advancing Uganda’s development agenda.

With the Bazzukulu movement growing stronger and industrial milestones being achieved, the day’s events reaffirmed Uganda’s march toward self-sufficiency and economic transformation under Jajja’s stewardship.
