I want to believe that the reason President Yoweri Kaguta Museven started Office of the National Chairman Secretariat is because he wanted to establish an independent branch of NRM that works for the people who vote the party into power.
The President is aware that often ordinary people who form the baseline are sidelined after election.
He knew that the small professional political class who hold power at the party head office may not be receptive to people.
That's why the appointment of Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo brought out exactly the President's vision by appointing coordinators who monitor government programs intended for the people across the country.
ONC has made random visits and combed schools,hospitals,roads among others so that they give him ethical reports about some gaps that need to be worked on.
ONC empowerment programs where disadvantaged youths and women have received start up tools as capital has made an indelible mark on eradicating poverty among households.
Hajjat Namyalo recent calls to improve distribution of affordable, quality climate suitable seedlings and other small inputs is one of the campaigns that allign the President office with the people.
Subsequently, when the rains started, Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo mobilized resources to start the distribution of High yield maize,bean seeds, fertilizers and selected pesticide to support farmers in early rains to grow food for substance and improvement of household incomes.
Therefore the current tirade against Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo by some section of people is not only intended to stifle the bridge between the people and the President,but it is also intended to create a lacuna in service delivery because the enemies of Mzee are aware that Namyalo is his backbone and that when they put her down, people start to dislike you.
Long live General Yoweri Kaguta Museven,Long live Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo.
