😀😀The Ministry of Internal Affairs has ordered former Members of Parliament, including Hon. Muhammad Nsereko, Dr. Peter Nsibambi, and Mathias Mpuuga, as well as ex-ministers, to return the official passports issued during their time in office and apply for ordinary passports😆
Our Ministry of Defence headquarters flagpole is now visible as far as the Jinja Road Roundabout, standing as a symbol of patriotism, strength, and national pride.
Thank you, General @mkainerugaba, for your innovative and transformative leadership.
In Memory of Dr. Mathew Lukwiya
In his final hours, he spoke to Sister Apio Anyai Angioletta, the paediatric nurse who had known him for years. She would later remember his exact words.
"Sister, things are worsening. I have tried to fight. The battle is almost over. Now I am seeing that I am also going. The time has come for me to go. That I know. I am going. But if I go, I will be at the doorway. Nobody is going to die now. I will tell my God that enough is enough."
Then he began to sing a hymn about war. Everyone in the room broke down. Sister Apio replied, "No, doctor, it will not be like that." But it was. On December 4th his breathing briefly stabilised. Later that evening his lungs began to haemorrhage. He died at 1:20am on December 5th, 2000.
He was buried at 4pm the same day. The coffin was sprayed with Jik bleach as it was lowered. Margaret asked if she could see him one last time and was refused. The body was considered too infectious.
He was placed in a grave he had chosen himself while he was dying, at the Grotto inside the hospital grounds, beside Dr. Lucille Teasdale and later Piero Corti. Teasdale had died in 1996 of AIDS, contracted while operating on an HIV-positive patient.
The student was buried beside his mentors.
And then something extraordinary happened. After Lukwiya's death, every remaining Ebola patient at Lacor survived. Not another single person died at the hospital. Sister Apio remembered the promise he had made on his deathbed: "I will tell my God that enough is enough." It is the kind of detail you would not believe if you read it in a novel.
By the time the WHO declared Uganda Ebola-free on February 6th, 2001, 425 confirmed and probable cases had been recorded, and 224 Ugandans had died, including thirteen health workers from Lacor alone.
The survival rate during the outbreak was nearly 50%, compared to as low as 10% in previous African outbreaks, largely because of the systems Lukwiya had built before anyone else even knew what was happening.
This is what the mainstream story leaves out. The intern who refused a teaching job in England. The doctor who walked into the bush instead of the nuns. The administrator who turned the hospital into a shelter for nine thousand people, most of them children, every night.
The Acholi son of a smuggler who topped his country in school, won the John Hay Prize at Liverpool, and still chose Gulu over everything else. By the time he made that final speech to his nurses, the heroism was already the entire shape of his life. The Ebola work only made it public.
Happy Heroes Day, Dr Matthew and all healthcare workers who sacrifice more than they should have to! #HeroesDay

Uganda may soon become the first country to run a Ministry of Education with an invisible Education Minister.
Other ministers have taken oath, but the Education Ministry remains in limbo. Apparently, no one else can manage it except the President's wife.
It is in Uganda where some offices follow normal procedures and others seem to operate under special rules.
🚨 SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES FOR UGANDA'S SENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
In the new 2026-2031 Cabinet, there are 32 Cabinet Ministers and 50 Ministers of State.
According to recent reports, a full Cabinet Minister earns approximately 28 million Uganda shillings per month, while a Minister of State takes home about 26 million shillings monthly. These figures represent the net pay after deductions.
In addition to the monthly salary, the package includes official vehicles with fuel and driver, security, housing support, and medical coverage.
For comparison, Members of Parliament have a basic net salary of around 6.1 million shillings, plus a housing allowance of 3 million shillings. They also receive a mileage allowance that ranges from 22 to 40 million shillings per month depending on their constituency, plus a 315 million shillings car grant every five years.
What do you think about these salary figures?
Are these amounts fair given the current economic situation????
30 million shillings used to buy 8 power sockets in Namisindwa district, LC5 chairperson initiates investigations.
The LC 5 chairperson Namisindwa district Emma Bwayo was Left in shock after landing on an expenditure budget document of 30 million shillings used to buy 8 power sockets.
30 million was budgeted for Tsekululu subcounty 25 million shillings for Bukokho subcounty.
"some body went and bought 8 sockets electrical sockets to connect power in the house at 30 million, How much does one socket cost not even with power but sockets,me I used 1.5million to connect power in the whole of my house" Bwayo said.
He added that 25millions were spent on buying two doors and 5 million for labour at Bukokho subcounty something still questionable on how such amount of money was used on buying two doors.
Bwayo said that he will not reduce on the speed of fighting corruption in Namisindwa.
