Gen. Kainerugaba arrived in Masaka on Friday, March 15 to attend the Greater Masaka Baraza organized by PLU and held at the Masaka Liberation Square in Masaka City.
Speaking at the event, which was attended by thousands of people, the senior presidential advisor on Special Operations, assured the people of Greater Masaka of his commitment to work with them in developing Uganda.
“Thank you for loving PLU. PLU is your voice,” he said. “We shall build Uganda together. I want to thank the organizing committee that organized this event. Thanks a lot.”
The General used the Baraza to explain the mission and vision of PLU, saying that it “is a civic organization that seeks to mobilize Ugandans to fulfill their patriotic duties.”
“This means mobilizing Ugandans to love their country, be good citizens, have a spirit of national and protect Uganda from foreign intervention,” he elaborated, adding that the League seeks to champion assistance of vulnerable people in our communities, fighting wastage of resources and corruption.”
Gen. Kainerugaba assured Greater Masaka that PLU is non-partisan, non-denominational, and non-sectarian.
