The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential flag bearer and Budadiri West MP Hon Nandala Mafabi has vowed to implement equal and better pay for all teachers in public service if elected president.
“Some people say a Mathematics teacher must be paid more than an English teacher. I have never seen phyics taught in kupsabiny nor chemistry taught in lugisu: all subjects are taught in English”, Nandala said, blaming the NRM government for the salary disparities between arts and science teachers.
He added that “all teachers are teachers, they complement each other and they will be paid equal and better salary”. He made the remarks today during his presidential rally at Kapchorwa Boma Ground under the theme “Fixing the economy, Money in our Pockets”.
Nandala further explained that when the country is educated, everything will fall in place arguing that a united Uganda calls for equal opportunities for all.
In his remarks, Nandala promised to allocate Shs.100M annually to every village across the country for development projects adding that he will use his experience as an economist to rebuild Uganda’s economy.
“Every village in Uganda will receive Shs 100 million annually,” Nandala declared. “The current system benefits a few at the top. We will take the money to the people at the grassroots where it belongs.”
On the boda boda economy, Nandala hinted on providing motorcycles on low interest loans to tackle unemployment and fight poverty among the youth and help them start small businesses.
“Imagine one boda boda loan costing so much that the rider ends up paying money enough to buy four motorcycles. That’s daylight exploitation, and it must stop,” Mafabi added.
He also pledged to revive the Sebei Cooperative union and bank using his experience as the chairperson of the Bugisu Cooperative Union (BSU) to boost production of coffee which he says is vital in empowering farmers and enhancing their bargaining power.
As Uganda gears up for the 2026 general elections, Nandala Mafabi’s promise of reform and equal opportunities is gaining traction among voters looking for a better future.
