President Museveni has grilled his ministers over the declining support of the ruling party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Museveni sounded bitterness before his ministers over the lost support of NRM to an extent that winning a single election is almost a tag of war.

Museveni met his ministers on Thursday at a retreat in Kampala. The purpose of the retreat originally was to review the performance of their ministries over the last six months.

The retreat was attended by almost all ministers and the permanent secretaries of their respective ministries. They briefed Museveni on the performance of their sectors, covering half the period of the financial year 2012/2013.

The performance review came after three months to the next reading of the 2013/2014 budget which is expected to outline the priorities for the country’s development. Museveni reportedly told the ministers to improve their service delivery in order to restore the declining support of government among members of the public.
