Uganda: NRM Caucus Moves to Munyonyo, Leaves Kololo for Ray G Concert

What the report says

Uganda’s ruling National Resistance Movement has moved its parliamentary caucus meeting from Kololo to the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort Hotel, according to Nile Post, which AllAfrica distributed. Government Chief Whip Ruth Aceng announced the change while speaking to journalists at Parliament on Wednesday morning. She said party legislators and NRM-leaning independents were expected at the new venue by midday for a session that would include an address from President Yoweri Museveni, who also serves as the party’s national chairperson.

The venue switch appears to have been made to provide more space and better logistics for the caucus, which party officials said needed room for MPs, invited guests and related activities. The meeting is expected to discuss government programmes, party discipline and preparations for upcoming parliamentary business. Security was reported to have been tightened around Munyonyo ahead of the gathering.

The move also resolves a scheduling clash at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, where musician Ray G is now expected to hold his concert. Nile Post described the concert as part of the singer’s continued rise in Uganda’s music scene. In general, Uganda’s parliamentary caucuses are important internal party forums used to coordinate strategy and messaging ahead of legislative business, especially when the ruling party is organizing around major government priorities.
