@nbstv Teacher's career growth should be prioritised. The ESC Regulations and standard MoES Scheme of Service link promotion strictly to vancancies in administration, completely ignoring classroom-based intellectual growth.

Okema Leonard, Executive Secretary in the Office of the Speaker of Parliament, is accused by the @IGGUganda of embezzling UGX 3.4894 billion between 2023 and May 2026, allegedly diverting public funds accessed through his official role.
He is also named in a wider UGX 10.893 billion case involving senior Parliament officials who “processed, approved and received” funds alleged to be proceeds of crime, facing charges of embezzlement, money laundering, and causing financial loss. Okema appeared on AGORA’s radar in earlier reporting on alleged financial irregularities linked to his role within Parliament.

Matembe released on Shs 3m cash bail

Grade one magistrate Sheilah Gloria Atim who appeared emotional while ruling in favour of 73-year-old Matembe, said at that age, the former minister qualifies for bail due to advanced age.

It is the role of the state to make sure that suspects don't disappear from their places of abode, the magistrate ruled.

Atim further said that it's the role of the state to make sure that the suspect doesn't interfere with the investigations, and that all suspects are innocent until proven guilty

In the picture, I am with Mr. Cohen Carlos, who owns Feldstein Co. Ltd., a gold refinery in Kampala. It refines Uganda’s gold to a purity level of 99.9%, which recently was earning USD 173,000 per kilogram. On account of the war in the Gulf of Persia, the price is now USD 129,000.

This particular one and a half kilograms of gold that I am holding is from Ibanda. Mr. Cohen is building another refinery in Morulem, Abim.

Uganda is waking up. We have 10 licensed gold refineries in Uganda. Mr. Cohen’s refineries are printing the Bank of Uganda logo on the gold bars.

Gen Kainerugaba Meets NMG Owners Over Daily Monitor, NTV Closure

The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has met with the leadership of Nation Media Group (NMG) Uganda to discuss the ongoing closure of its outlets, which include NTV Uganda and the Daily Monitor.

The meeting, which took place at the Special Forces Command headquarters in Entebbe, was attended by NMG owner, Mr. Rostam Aziz, and his son, Mr. Saam Aziz, alongside Ms. Georgia Mutagaywa, the Chief of Staff of Taarifa Limited, which is the parent organization of NMG.

Veteran journalist and PLU leader Andrew Mwenda also attended, alongside Acting UPDF/Defence Public Information Director, Col. Chris Magezi.

The meeting follows the recent closure of NMG Uganda’s premises by security forces. The shutdown was instituted on the orders of the CDF following guidance of the President and Commander-In Chief of the UPDF. General Kainerugaba cited the sustained blackmail campaign by the media group against the government of Uganda and its leadership, alongside promoting opposition and foreign interests at the expense of Uganda.

During the deliberations, specific instances of what the government deems biased and malicious reporting were reviewed, with the NMG ownership committing to adopting a more patriotic, balanced, and objective approach to their journalism moving forward.

This meeting is part of an ongoing dialogue to resolve the standoff between the media group and the government.

Gen. Kainerugaba announced via his social media channels that he will present a formal report on the discussions to the President for consideration before a final decision on reopening the premises is made.

MICROECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS FOR MAY 2026:

✅️The number of migrant workers captured by the Immigration Department reduced by 26%, from 2,569 workers in April 2026 to 1,898 in May 2026.

✅️Uganda’s GDP Per-Capita increased by 4% from US$1,360 in FY2024/25 to US$1,420 in FY2025/26.

✅️Out of Uganda’s total population in employment (11.8 million) as of 2025, only 4 million workers (15%) are covered under the existing retirement benefits arrangements. The limited coverage is attributed to retirement benefits, including pensions, being traditionally restricted to only formal workers.

✅️Air quality in Kampala deteriorated, with particulate matter increasing by 26% from 21.6μg/m³ in April 2026 to 27.2μg/m³ in May 2026. This was likely attributed to dry, sunny and dusty weather conditions.
