Sembabule NRM Leader Writes Book Defending Museveni’s Long Rule

What the report says

Denis Ddumba, the National Resistance Movement publicity secretary in Sembabule District, has published a book titled "Still Leading with a Purpose" that makes the case for the ruling party’s long tenure in power and for President Yoweri Museveni to remain in office. According to Nile Post, the book presents the NRM as a party with political experience, stability and continuity, and argues that its record since taking power in January 1986 shows it is best positioned to guide Uganda’s future development.

The publication also reflects on Uganda’s political history, including earlier periods of government turnover, and contrasts those upheavals with the NRM era. Ddumba is quoted in the article as saying the country needs leadership that can sustain transformation, improve accountability and turn policies into practical gains for ordinary people. He links those themes to governance, wealth creation, grassroots participation and economic empowerment.

Nile Post says the book also looks at the opportunities and challenges facing Uganda as it considers its future, while encouraging readers to assess the achievements and shortcomings of government. Ddumba’s broader argument is that the NRM’s longevity and experience justify its continued leadership. The book is presented as both a defence of Museveni’s rule and a call for debate on national direction, public leadership and sustainable development.
