On the 3rd day of the NRM Register update exercise countrywide Captain Mike Mukula, the NRM vice chairperson, of Eastern Uganda, took charge of mobilization efforts in parts of the Busoga Region.
Known for his stellar mobilization skills, Mukula embarked on a comprehensive tour of various Districts that make up Busoga, including Jinja City, Kamoli, Iganga, Kaliko, etc.
During his visits, he called upon all NRM leaders to embrace Unity for a smooth and successful process.

He further urged residents to participate actively in the registration process.
However, concerns were raised regarding the lack of adequate publicity preceding the exercise, which commenced on March 13th and concluded on the 17th of the same month. Low turnup has been attributed to the limited publicity before the exercise even though resources for the same were availed.
Mukula also stressed the importance of robust participation to ensure accurate representation within the ruling NRM's register.
He observed the challenges faced by registration personnel, noting insufficient facilitation, with many relying on the generosity of residents for necessities.
Most of them were given a paltry shs10,000 as day's facilitation.
Mukula's efforts align with a broader strategy to galvanize support for NRM National Chairman, President Yoweri Museveni, particularly in Eastern Uganda. Despite electoral setbacks in the 2021 general elections, President Museveni remains committed to reclaiming the party's presence countrywide.
Mukula also revealed that school-going Citizens will also be included in the registration process and they are finding mitigations of how this will be done.
"As NRM, we want to assure you that no one is going to be left out, we are going to register all our members, including school-going children"- Mukula
While in Iganga district, it was discovered that many of the members lacked National IDs which the district NRM chairperson noted.
Mukula is still in the inspection process and according to his roadmap, he will be covering the districts of Bugisu, Sebei, Teso, and Bukedi.
