KAMPALA, Uganda. Muhammed Ssebuwufu, the proprietor of Pine Car Bond, has backed a national come-together for supporters of CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, in what organisers describe as the first in a series of gatherings aimed at expanding support for the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) and the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
The event, scheduled for 25 July 2026 at Stallion Hotel in Busega, is expected to bring together supporters from Kampala, Wakiso and neighbouring districts. According to the organisers, the gathering is intended to strengthen networks among supporters, discuss the objectives of the PLU, and lay the groundwork for similar events in other parts of the country.
Ssebuwufu, a long-time supporter of Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, President Yoweri Museveni and the NRM, described the Kampala event as the beginning of a wider mobilisation effort.
“This is only the first step,” he said. “Our plan is to organise similar come-togethers in Western, Northern and Eastern Uganda so that supporters can meet, exchange ideas and strengthen their commitment to patriotism, national development and the objectives of the Patriotic League of Uganda.”
Organisers say one of the primary aims of the event is to provide an opportunity for supporters who have interacted through social media and other digital platforms to meet in person for the first time. They believe face-to-face engagement will strengthen relationships, improve coordination and encourage greater collaboration in future activities.
The programme will also include presentations on the vision and objectives of the Patriotic League of Uganda. According to the organisers, discussions will focus on patriotism, civic responsibility, youth participation and community engagement, with participants encouraged to contribute ideas on how these principles can be promoted at the grassroots level.
Another session will bring together chairpersons and aspiring Local Council leaders aligned with the NRM and PLU in Kampala and Wakiso. Organisers say the discussions will centre on grassroots mobilisation, leadership and community outreach, highlighting the role local leaders play in engaging residents and communicating government programmes.
The agenda also includes discussions on what organisers describe as the achievements of the NRM government under President Museveni. Participants are expected to reflect on developments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, security and economic growth, and to consider how supporters can communicate those policies and programmes within their communities.
Patriotism is expected to be a recurring theme throughout the event. Organisers say they want to encourage participants to contribute positively to national development, promote social cohesion and support initiatives that they believe advance Uganda’s long-term interests.
The programme will also address corruption and public accountability. According to the organisers, participants will discuss the importance of transparency in public life and the role citizens can play in supporting efforts to combat corruption through established legal and institutional channels.
Security and public safety are also expected to feature prominently. Organisers say the discussions will encourage cooperation between communities and security agencies, arguing that peace and stability are essential for economic development and social progress.
Beyond the formal programme, the gathering is intended to provide an opportunity for supporters to establish stronger personal and professional networks. Organisers believe these relationships will help improve communication and coordination as the movement expands its activities across the country.
Ssebuwufu said the Kampala event would serve as a model for future regional gatherings.
“We want to build a network of supporters who know one another, work together and share a common vision,” he said. “After Kampala, we intend to take this initiative to Western, Northern and Eastern Uganda so that supporters in every region have the same opportunity to participate.”
Organisers say young people are expected to play a prominent role in the discussions, reflecting what they describe as the importance of youth participation in leadership and national development. Women leaders, community mobilisers and aspiring political leaders are also expected to attend.
Preparations for the event are nearing completion, according to the organising committee, which says it expects a significant turnout from supporters across the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.
For Ssebuwufu, financing the initiative reflects what he describes as a personal commitment to supporting Muhoozi Kainerugaba, President Museveni and the NRM, while creating a platform through which supporters can meet, exchange views and strengthen grassroots organisation.
The Kampala come-together will mark the beginning of a broader national outreach programme, with similar events planned for Western, Northern and Eastern Uganda in the months ahead. They say the objective is to strengthen supporter networks, promote the ideals of the Patriotic League of Uganda and encourage continued engagement in community and national affairs.
