Youth Line Forum

Today marked Day 1 of our 14-day KIC leadership program in Mombasa, where I’m representing the young people of @NrmYouthleague I was able to present on SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through the lens of regional integration. In line with H.E. @KagutaMuseveni’s core message that economic integration drives market-led prosperity while full political federation guarantees strategic security, I highlighted how joint regional projects and youth-led cross-border cooperation are vital to unlocking jobs and sustainable development across East Africa. #regionalintegration

Mzee @KagutaMuseveni, as a National Secretary of the @NrmYouthleague , I welcome your call to debate. Let me address every point you made:  1. 📌On Big Markets and East African Integration: We agree that a single African market and East African Federation will bring prosperity. But right now, young business owners face high cross-border taxes, expensive loans, and tough trade rules. The big market is good on paper, but how do we make sure young Ugandans can actually sell across borders without these roadblocks?  2. 📌On Strategic Security and Defense: You mentioned defense on land, sea, air, and in space. True security today needs modern technology. How is the government directly supporting young Ugandan scientists and tech innovators so we can build these systems ourselves?  3. 📌On Sports, Music, and Fashion: You mentioned that leisure needs wealth and security first. We respect your 60 years of work, but today, sports, music, and digital content are not just for fun they are real multi-billion-dollar industries that create jobs. Instead of seeing them as secondary, how can we fund and protect the creative sector as a major source of national wealth?  4. 📌The Challenge: Mzeei, you built the foundation over six decades. The challenge for our generation is making it work on the ground. We should not just debate this on social media.  As NRM youth leaders, we challenge you to a National Youth Leadership Town Hall (public Forum) . Let us sit down and create practical policies that give young Ugandans real opportunities in the East African Federation. We are ready when you are, Mzeei. For God and My Country NATASHA AHEREZA National General Secretary, NRM Youth League💛
