Kampala, Uganda: In a spirited address to journalists at Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, Mbabazi Prossy, affectionately known as Maama Muhoozi, celebrated the achievements of women in government, citing examples such as Janet Museveni, Anita Among, Mama Nabbanja, Jessica Alupo, and Hellen Seku, among others.
Maama Muhoozi, revealed that she is now hitting the streets, conversing for support, and working closely with the NRM secretariat, ONC, Patriotism, and other NRM leaning organizations to garner support for the NRM ticket.
She expressed her gratitude to individuals like Bassajja Balaba, who have reached out to her, and emphasized the importance of uplifting one another. “We ladies are engineers, hostesses, speakers, and hold many other posts. Let’s help each other rise up,” she urged.
Maama Muhoozi also touched on the “Grow Project,” an initiative aimed at empowering women, which has already benefited many. However, she lamented that some individuals with “bad hearts” should reflect on their actions, as “when you sow evil, you’ll reap evil.”
In a passionate appeal, Maama Muhoozi called on women to vote for candidates who are genuinely helpful, rather than blindly supporting a particular party. She also stressed the importance of following security rules to ensure safety.
On a personal note, Maama Muhoozi revealed that she was hurt by the fact that many people have strayed from their faith, but expressed her gratitude to pastors like Bugingo and Apostle Lebega, and others who have encouraged them to return to her spiritual roots.
Maama Muhoozi thanked Miria Matembe, who had counselled her during a period of depression, regardless of their differing political affiliations.
She made a passionate plea to Ugandans to vote for President Museveni in the 2026 elections, emphasizing the importance of continuity and progress.
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day, Maama Muhoozi’s words serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of women’s empowerment, unity, and collective progress.
