Deputy regional Cid Mbarara and security officers donβt be paid or used to silence citizens calling for improved service delivery , zero tolerance to corruption. We are closely monitoring all actions against Sansa and others .
Today at State House Entebbe, I met H.E. Pekka Haavisto, the United Nations Secretary-Generalβs Personal Envoy for Sudan. We discussed the conflict in Sudan and the wider region.
I reiterated that many of these crises stem from ideological mistakes and the failure to respect the identities of people in multinational states. Sustainable peace can only come through dialogue, not force. I also reaffirmed Ugandaβs commitment to hosting refugees, who are our people and continue to contribute to our countryβs development.
East Africa has become a Hub for Africa, we are blessed by God. Few Weeks ago, At Senior Staff College, Jinja in Uganda, Commanders from different states were Commissioned. Yesterday, Senior Officers students from War College of Mali were in Uganda for Studies @KagutaMuseveni
Our General Secretary has held a meeting with PLU mobilisers from the Rwenzori Sub-region led by the former state Minister of ICT, Hon Kabbyanga Godfrey. They discussed strengthening PLU grassroots, fighting corruption, and mobilising citizens to embrace government programmes in the greater Rwenzori.
Today, Former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hon. John Mulimba, paid a courtesy visit to the PLU Headquarters in Naguru.He was warmly received by our Commissioner for External Affairs, Mr. Steven Rutasharara.
The former Minister has pledged to work closely with PLU to advance its mission of entrenching patriotism across the nation.
In my capacity as the current President of the Organization of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) and Co-President of the OACPSβEuropean Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly, I addressed the 121ST OACPS Council of Ministers at the Egmont Palace in Brussels.
I told them that we must place trade, industrialisation and value addition at the centre of our development agenda if we are to catch up with our peers in the developed world.
I shared several examples of the opportunities we have to work together to accelerate our development.
One of them was a message that H.E. @KagutaMuseveni has consistently championed over the years: Africa and the developing world cannot achieve meaningful prosperity by exporting raw materials while importing finished products.
Exporting unprocessed minerals is, in effect, exporting jobs, industries and wealth. We must process our minerals at source, build regional value chains and manufacture higher-value products if we are to create employment, increase revenues and transform our economies.
I also highlighted that Africa possesses an estimated US$29.5 trillion in mineral wealth, yet continues to lose enormous value because most of these resources leave the continent in raw or minimally processed form. The Democratic Republic of Congo has demonstrated what is possible through value addition, significantly increasing its revenues from cobalt processing while Uganda equally did a good job with processing gold. This should inspire a collective shift across the African, Caribbean and Pacific towards policies that promote mineral beneficiation, industrialisation and economic transformation.
For years, we have spoken about making the OACPS more relevant to our citizens. We cannot achieve that unless we focus on practical issues that directly improve livelihoods.

CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba Assures Returnees of UPDF Protection as Government Pledges Enabling Framework
Kyankwanzi, Uganda β In a message delivered on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba has assured returning Ugandans of the UPDFβs commitment to safeguarding peace.
Representing the CDF, Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) General Secretary Rt. Hon. Twalla Fadil addressed participants undergoing orientation, mindset change, and reintegration training.
βThe UPDF will guard the peace. Government will provide the framework. But the real work is yours,β the message stated. βLet us meet again in one year and account for the enterprises and jobs we will have built together. But always remember: Development is NOT done for the people. It is by the people.β
The statement underscores a partnership approach, security and policy support from the state, paired with active citizen-led economic initiatives. The reintegration programme aims to equip returnees with the skills and mindset needed for productive reintegration into Ugandan society.
This development-focused message highlights the governmentβs emphasis on self-reliance, patriotism, and long-term accountability in nation-building.
CDF Guides All Local Authorities to Name Streets and Roads by End of August 2026
