The closing session for the 10-day NRM Parliamentary caucus retreat was held at State Lodge Ngoma this afternoon. For me, it has been both a nostalgic and hopeful experience, interacting with these mostly young, educated and energetic members. I am hopeful that anybody who inherits the NRA spirit in leadership, is capable of resisting cheap popularity, unnecessary debts and the insult of being turned into prostitutes due to love for money, but also, of making a very big contribution to the country. In order to attain transformation, we have agreed that we should have improved household income through improved methods of agriculture, industry, services and ICT. The role of a political leader is to supervise government initiatives such as Emyooga, PDM, Operation Wealth Creation, the Youth Fund etc, which target that objective. I am optimistic that if we mobilize efforts towards this cause, we can go much further, much faster. I look forward to other such engagements.
