The Office of the NRM National Chairman (ONC) Manager Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo applauded First Lady Janet Kataha Museveni for her pivotal role in supporting President Museveni’s visionary leadership, contributing to Uganda’s ongoing positive transformation.

Hajjat Namyalo made the comments on Saturday 06^th January 2024 when Bazukulu gathered for a national thanksgiving ceremony to express gratitude for Janet Museveni’s significant contributions to Uganda and to offer prayers for her well-being after recovering from Covid-19.

President Museveni revealed on December 28^th, 2023, that Maama Janet Museveni had contracted Covid-19 during their Christmas holiday at the First Family’s residence in Rwakitura, Kiruhura District. Fortunately, she made a swift recovery within seven days.

Considering her restored health, ONC organized thanksgiving prayers to express gratitude to God for her recovery and to seek blessings for many more years of service alongside President Museveni, affectionately referred to as Jajja (Grandfather) by the Bazzukulu.

The thanksgiving prayers took place at the ONC offices in Kyambogo, Nakawa Division. The clergy from various religious sects, led by Rt. Rev Nathan Ahimbisibwe, the Bishop of the new South Ankole Diocese, conducted the intercession.

In his message to Bazzukulu, Bishop Ahimbisibwe commended Hajjat Namyalo aka Chief Muzukulu for consistently upholding the fear of the Lord while carrying out various responsibilities under ONC.

Rev. Ahimibisibwe observed that, for all this time, the First Lady has been a true mother of the nation through her fear of the Lord and a true flag of Uganda, whose motto is “For God and My Country,” adding that; for this reason, the Lord ensured her recovery from the deadly disease to maintain the flame of integrity and God-fearing behavior among the citizens she has led by example.

He also observed that God has granted Hon. Mama Janet more time to accomplish her set mission, for which unity and togetherness should be at the forefront.

Rwampara District Woman MP, Hon. Molly Asiimwe, a known close confidant of the First Lady who represented the First Family thanked God for healing Mama Janet, and the ONC National Coordinator, Hajjat Namyalo for organizing such a function which embraces the race of humanity, love, and goodwill among others.

” Our mama Janet has told me to thank you very much for organizing this event on her behalf. Indeed, we must thank God because a country without a mother can’t stand. And now that she is healed and back to her healthy life, expect nothing but swift progress and transformation of this country,” Hon Asiimwe noted.

On her part, the head of ONC, SPA/PA Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, thanked the members present for trying to attend the prayers organized on short notice and committed to the people that leadership centered on God will continue to take center stage in the Kyambogo office.

She also thanked God for quick recovery and asked for continued good health for Mrs. Janet Museveni arguing that “with Mama’s good and stable health, the NRM National Chairman is always at peace while steering the country to great strength.”

“The ONC foot soldiers were on their knees from the time the National Chairman broke the news of sickness, and indeed the Lord has answered these prayers and healed Mama Janet, the revered mother of the mighty country Uganda,” Namyalo remarked.

The Bazzukulu are committed to continued prayers for a full recovery and the ability to return to the National duties she has sacrificed her entire life to perform.” she added.

Hajjat Namyalo further tasked Mama Janet to use this time to strengthen her hold at the State House because with her, the President continues to do his job ably while being sure that the mother of the nation is in charge.
