Bulambuli District liberation is underway.
The era of public officials stealing from the people in broad daylight must come to an end. Every shilling of taxpayers' money must be used for its intended purpose to deliver quality services to our communities.
We remain committed to exposing corruption, holding those responsible accountable, and restoring integrity in local government. This must stop. The people of Bulambuli and all Ugandans deserve better.
Strong.

The Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has commissioned a new fleet of aircraft into the Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces (UPDF) Air Force, marking a major step in the nation's military modernisation. The newly commissioned fleet includes the Let 410 transport aircraft that will enhance logistical efficiency by streamlining the movement of personnel and supplies.
The multipurpose aircraft can be deployed as an air ambulance carrying up to six stretcher patients and three seated patients, a passenger aircraft with capacity for 19 people, a VIP transport for eight, a cargo carrier, or a paratrooper platform.
The event was attended by the Commander Air Force, Lt Gen Charles Okidi, the Chief of Staff Air Force, and the OMNIPOL delegation led by Chairman Ondrej Panenka, alongside Mr. Valentin and Mr. Humphrey Nzeyi. Gen. Kainerugaba urged the UPDF Airforce team to maintain the new assets to the highest standards. He also expressed appreciation to OMNIPOL for facilitating the acquisition, which was delivered two months ahead of schedule.
The commissioning underscores Uganda's commitment to strengthening its national defence and its ongoing partnership with international allies to secure its airspace against emerging threats.
The Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has hosted the Ambassador of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to Uganda, H.E. Etsegenet Bezabih Yimenu, at the Special Forces Command Headquarters in Entebbe.
During the meeting, Gen. Kainerugaba thanked the Ambassador for her dedication to fostering ties between the two countries throughout her tenure in Kampala.
Noting that the relationship between Uganda and Ethiopia was forged long ago by shared history, the CDF observed that both nations serve as regional anchors. He pointed to their early coordination in liberation struggles and their vital contributions to African Union peace missions, particularly in Somalia, as indicators of this bond. The CDF observed that Uganda and Ethiopia are connected by a common destiny shaped by standing firm in the face of regional challenges. He highlighted flourishing diplomatic relations built on mutual respect, a shared commitment to stability, and regular high-level visits that signal deep camaraderie.
Ambassador Yimenu expressed her appreciation for the warm reception and echoed the sentiments of solidarity.
She expressed sincere gratitude to the CDF for accommodating the request for the meeting at short notice and extended her appreciation for the support rendered during the Adwa celebrations in Kokolo earlier this year. She emphasized that the gesture reflects the deep-rooted relationship between the two nations. Additionally, the Ambassador briefed the CDF on the successful conclusion of the recent Ethiopian elections, conveying her thanks to H.E. the President of Uganda and the Government of Uganda for their congratulatory message. Both the CDF and the Ambassador underscored the enduring partnership between Uganda and Ethiopia, reaffirming their commitment to enhancing bilateral and defence cooperation.
