RUKUNGIRI- Hon. Maj. Gen. Jim Katugugu Muhwezi, the Minister for Security and National Resistance Movement chairman for Rukungiri district has encouraged people to separate religion from politics, warning that sectarianism hampers development.
Jim Muhwezi made the revelation yesterday while speaking to the people of Kyaburere and Nyanganjara in Bugangari Sub County, Rukungiri district.
He is holding community dialogues to inform the people of Rujumbura Constituency about the NRM manifesto’s success throughout his five-year term in office.

Tackling the same issue, Hon. Jim Muhwezi, the Rujumbura County Member of Parliament urged residents to desist sectarian politics and rather focus on channeling messages that communicate development. Muhwezi said that politicians who promote division cannot effectively lobby for their constituents calling upon people to shun them for effective service delivery.
He also appealed to people to join and support the ruling party because it has the medicine which is able to deal with problems of all Ugandans.
In the same community dialogue, Minister Jim Muhwezi urged youths to embrace wealth creation as the primary solution to unemployment, rather than relying on government jobs which are very limited.
