The Movement prioritises “education” as an important aspect in the prevention of AIDS and has been able to register outstanding success through seminars and awareness workshops on AIDS and HIV/AIDS prevention. It has also held counselling sessions and education workshops, established youth and parent counseling centre where families can go for help concerning AIDS or other problems that they youth have to face, street corner evangelization and initiated life skills programmes for Primary and Secondary Schools, among others.

According to Church sources, the Youth Alive Movement, which is the brainchild of Missionaries of Africa, has received the approval, support and backing of many Catholic Dioceses throughout Eastern and Central Africa.

Welcoming the group to State House, President Museveni saluted them for the faith-oriented work they are doing, especially their support for the fight against corruption and the revival of morals right from the earliest years of a child. Quoting from the Bible, the President said the Holy Book’s two greatest commandments ‘love your God with all your mind, heart, soul, body and love your neighbor as you love yourself’, Mr. Museveni also called for love of one’s country.

He informed his guests of the emphasis on the principles of the National Resistance Movement which only took into account one’s actions and had nothing to do with tribalism, religion and gender. He said that this trend that was set by the NRM has enabled Uganda to get to where it is now.

The Patron and founder of the Education for Life Group, Rev Fr. Pontiano Peter Betunguura said the organization mainly aims at educating the nation on the dignity of God, love for man and the nation’s holistic development through combating immorality and corruption. He thanked President Museveni for his initiative in bringing peace to Uganda as a whole and also for political awakening of all people especially the youth and women. He expressed the group’s commitment to the holistic development of the nation through education based on God’s love, patriotism and other basic values in life. END.

Mulwanyamuli Ssemogerere

“How can president Museveni stay if he loses elections- that is impossible!” Mulwanyamuli told a political gathering at Christ the King Church in Kampala on Thursday evening.

Mulwanyamuli, a former Prime Minister of Buganda kingdom, who recently joined the Inter Party Coalition, says Museveni must have the permission of people if he is to rule Uganda after 2011 elections.

Asked if the political conditions in Uganda are conducive for fair elections, Mulwanyamuli said, ‘not so good.’

He says the era of African presidents using security agencies to cling to power will not be tolerated anymore.

Museveni, who helped oust President Milton Obote in 1986 is increasingly receiving a lot of international criticism for his failure to leave power and corruption among others.

Many political parties, civil society organizations and opinion leaders among others say the 2011 general elections in Uganda will not be free and fair because of continued government failure to disband the Uganda Electoral Commission.

Analysts also believe that Museveni’s continued greed for power will make it hard to allow a free and fair 2011 elections. During the 2006 Uganda elections Museveni is on record for saying that revolutionaries like him do not leave power like chicken thieves.
