I once again wish to caution members of the public against individuals who falsely claim to have the ability to secure Job appointments as Resident District Commissioners (RDCs), Resident City Commissioners (RCCs), Deputy RDCs, Deputy RCCs and Assistants in exchange for money.
Such individuals are fraudsters and conmen seeking to exploit innocent members of the public.
For avoidance of doubt, H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda is the constitutional appointing authority for Resident District Commissioners (RDCs), Deputies, and Assistants as provided for under Article 203 of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda. The appointment of RDCs is a constitutional prerogative vested in the President and is not a commercial transaction or an opportunity for individuals to solicit money.
Accordingly, no individual, intermediary or government official is authorised to demand or receive money from anyone under the pretext of influencing, recommending, facilitating or securing an appointment as an RDC, RCC, Deputy or Assistant.
I therefore urge members of the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to these fraudulent schemes.
Anyone approached by an individual soliciting money in exchange for a job appointment, or anyone with information regarding ongoing extortion related to RDC appointments, is encouraged to report the matter to the Anti-Corruption Desk at the Office of the President through our toll-free line, 0800-320-320, for action.
Let us collectively fight corruption, extortion and fraud in public service recruitment, appointments and Service delivery.
For God and my country!
I warmly congratulate Hon. Ruth Katushabe @KatushabeRuth82 upon the High Court in Masaka upholding her declaration as the duly elected District Woman Member of Parliament for Bukomansimbi.
This judicial decision reaffirms the importance of the rule of law, respect for democratic institutions, and adherence to due judicial process.
I wish Hon. Katushabe success as she continues to serve the people of Bukomansimbi with dedication, commitment, and integrity. May this victory mark a renewed chapter of effective representation, unity, and development for the people of Bukomansimbi.
Congratulations once again.
When we took over Government in 1986, we entrusted administration to technocrats. However, it took a Kenyan Senator to alert me that Uganda was buying petroleum products through middlemen in Kenya. Unbelievable! After intervention, Diesel has come down from USD118 to USD83 per metric tonne, Petrol from USD97.5 to USD61.5 and Aviation fuel from USD114.25 to USD79.25.
Today, I broke ground for the 320-million-litre Kampala Storage Terminal in Mpigi. As we develop our petroleum resources, we must strengthen our strategic reserves. I am also happy that H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan sent a delegation as we work with Tanzania and the rest of East Africa to strengthen our petroleum security.
Fortunately, in a telephone call, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, told me that H.H. Oyo left a young boy heir that will be introduced to the public at the right time.
H.H. Oyo worked well with the Central Government, thereby avoiding the mistake of trying to use the Cultural Institutions that were restored by the NRM to promote sectarianism. It would be good if all the Cultural leaders understood the importance of this.
I direct that H.H. Oyo be given an official burial and, for three days, all the flags fly at half-mast. The three days are: the day of the burial, the day before and the day after. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Signed:
Yoweri K. Museveni
President of the Republic of Uganda
Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu,
It is with a lot of sadness that, on the behalf of all Ugandans, Maama Janet and myself, I extend our most heart-felt condolences to the Royal Family of Tooro and to all Ugandans on account of the death of the prominent Muzzukulu, His Highness Oyo, the King of Tooro at such a young age of 34. How unfair life can be!! He was orphaned while still young and he has died young.
In the short life on earth, he had shown that he had potential of working well with the Central and Local Governments to develop Tooro. What a loss to Tooro and Uganda.
Some months back, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, Nyinomukama, came to tell me that the Muzzukulu Oyo had cancer that was very aggressive. The Government supported them to go to Germany and, then, the USA where he died.
Sudan’s outgoing Ambassador to Uganda, His Excellency Ahmed Ibrahim Ahmed, paid me a courtesy visit at State House Entebbe to bid me farewell. We discussed matters of mutual interest. I wish him good luck.
Rise and shine!
Good morning from the elegant & radiant Hon. Mini. Nyamutoro.
Have a blessed new week filled with strength and grace.

Malwa cabinet second my proposal of opening drinking joints at 3pm . This was reached during a special Malwa council consultative meeting held yesterday in Kiryandongo !
Today, I delivered a message at the Thanksgiving service held at Canaan Land House of Prayer Ministries International.
I conveyed greetings from His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni, the PS Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande, and the entire staff of the Office of the President.
I expressed gratitude to God for the good things he has done in my life regardless of the hustles we have gone through, as Psalm 118:6 states, "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
I also thanked H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Gen. Salim Saleh for their goodwill towards all Ugandans, which has created opportunities for all citizens.
I applauded Pastor Aloysius Bugingo and believers under House of Prayer Ministries for dedicating themselves to give thanks to God and to pray for the stability of our country.
I rallied believers to remain resilient and embrace the several government wealth-creation programmes, like the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, Youth Livelihood, Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), GROW, and the 4-Acre Model Concept to end poverty.
I also implored them to adopt home-based projects like poultry farming for Muslims and SDAs, then piggery for non-Muslims in the backyard as per President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's guidance and directive as the champion of wealth creation.
This term, H.E. the President assigned us with two major things: fighting corruption and working hard. There must be "No Corruption, No Sleeping".
Bribery implicates both the giver and the receiver; hence we must unite and redouble our efforts to completely eradicate corruption from Uganda.
I commended Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba , the Chief of Defence Forces, for his exemplary leadership and dedication to securing our nation. Under his stewardship, the UPDF continues to guarantee peace and stability in the country, which has created an enabling environment for development, investment, wealth creation, and the well-being of all Ugandans.
For God and my country!
⚠️ FAKE NEWS ALERT ⚠️: DISREGARD FAKE LIST ON RDCs RESHUFFLE.
My office has been drawn to a fake list currently in circulation on social media and WhatsApp groups alleging to be a "new list for the reshuffle of Resident District Commissioners RDCs and Deputies."
The public is hereby informed that the said list is FAKE and NOT from the Office of the President. Any genuine appointments or reshuffles of RDCs will be officially communicated by the Office of the President, through official channels.
I therefore urge the public, media houses, and all stakeholders to disregard the fake list and desist from sharing it.
For God and my Country!
Yesterday, I officiated at the closure of a one-week Seventh-day Adventist Camp Retreat at Kiige SDA Church, Kamuli District.
I conveyed greetings from His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Mama Janet Kataaha Museveni, the PS Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande and the entire staff of the Office of the President.
I applauded the SDA Church leadership of Kamuli District for dedicating a week to prayer, Bible study and fellowship. This is the kind of moral foundation our nation needs. But faith must go hand in hand with work.
The NRM government, under the stewardship of H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has given us freedom of worship and recognises religious institutions as key partners in national development, unity, and moral transformation.
I urged church pastors and leaders to use their pulpits and platforms to preach and mobilise communities on government wealth-creation initiatives as part of efforts to fight household poverty and accelerate national development.
The government has established several wealth creation programmes, like the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, Youth Livelihood, Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), GROW, etc. Our role now is to ensure these resources are used with integrity, unity, and hard work to create wealth and jobs at the household level.
I urged the participants and people of Kamuli District to embrace the 4-Acre Model Concept, a household wealth creation strategy that can help rural families escape poverty by intensively and profitably using just 4 acres of land to generate a sustainable household income and improve food security. Acre 1 for coffee or cocoa, a long-term cash crop with a stable income; Acre 2 for fruits such as oranges, mangoes, passion fruit, and so on; Acre 3 for food crops such as maize, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, and vegetables; and Acre 4 for animal pasture to support zero-grazing dairy.
I also urged them to adopt projects like poultry farming for eggs for Muslims and SDAs, then piggery for non-Muslims in the backyard as per President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's guidance and directive as the champion of wealth creation.
This term, H.E the President has tasked us with two things: Fighting corruption and working hard. There must be "No Sleeping". As Christians, our hands must work as much as our voices praise. That is how we shall defeat poverty.
I contributed to the construction of Kiige SDA Church with 100 bags of cement.
For God and my country!
Yesterday, I held a meeting with the Vice President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E. Maj. (Rtd) Jessica Alupo, at her office with the Permanent Secretary, Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande.
The meeting focused on the work of the Presidency and efforts to streamline service delivery across government, strengthening coordination between the Office of the President and other government entities to ensure that presidential directives, wealth creation programmes, and service delivery initiatives are effectively implemented at all levels. Monitoring, follow-up, improving communication and feedback mechanisms between the presidency, local leaders, citizens and enhancing efficiency in the execution of the mandate of the Office of the President to support H.E. President Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni in delivering on the NRM manifesto.
We reaffirmed our commitment to work closely with the Office of the Vice President to ensure unity of purpose, accountability, and timely delivery of services to Ugandans.
For God and my country!
@KagutaMuseveni Constructive dialogue with friendly nations like Türkiye will continue to unlock investment, innovation, and development opportunities for our people.
