Deputy Secretary-General of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) Hon. Namayanja Rose Nsereko on Wednesday led a section of NRM secretariat staff on a visit to the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Agricultural Resource centre in Kyanja, a suburb in Wakiso district.
Hon. Namayanja who was impressed by several activities at the demonstration farm urged the NRM staff to embrace urban farming since it requires small spaces if they are to ensure food security in their homes and generate side income from their surplus produce.
“Instead of spending all your free time on social media following up on other non-issues, I challenge you to interest yourselves in urban farming like growing vegetables, rearing chicken among others to ensure food security in your homes and sell the surplus,” Namayanja challenged her staff.
She also commended the KCCA leadership for a well-thought-out initiative that has trained and empowered several willing Ugandans, especially youth to earn a living through urban and smart farming.
