@KagutaMuseveni Encouraging to see strong economic growth projections backed by strategic investments. The focus on inclusive prosperity is especially important.
#WhyUgDecidedM7
As we implement the Financial Year 2026/27 Budget, we must remain focused on Uganda’s strategic goal of socio-economic transformation. Our economy is growing at 6.4% and is projected to expand to 10.2% next year, driven in part by petroleum. By fully utilizing our vast potential, taking advantage of the African market, and ensuring that every household joins the money economy, we shall create prosperity for all Ugandans.
@KagutaMuseveni Health indeed comes first. The reported recoveries are a testament to the effectiveness of the measures in place and the resilience of our people. Thank you for keeping the nation informed and focused on safeguarding lives.

Fellow Ugandans, health is more important than wealth. I am encouraged that in the last five days, we have not registered any new Ebola infections and are instead recording recoveries. This shows that the measures we have put in place are working. However, we must remain vigilant. Avoid handshakes, maintain good hygiene, and follow the guidance of our health authorities. We defeated Ebola before, and with discipline and cooperation, we shall defeat it again.
@KagutaMuseveni A commendable call for citizen engagement. Following the budget presentation helps Ugandans stay informed about government programs, investments, and opportunities that will shape our future.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Today at 2pm, the Financial Year 2026/27 National Budget will be read. I encourage you to follow the proceedings live on all national TV and radio stations, as well as on social media.
@KagutaMuseveni Keeping the nation informed about the #Ebola situation is vital. We sincerely appreciate Your Excellency for the swift and decisive response to the outbreak, as well as your commitment to safeguarding the health and well-being of the people.

I met the EAC Secretary General, Stephen Patrick Mbundi, and his team at State Lodge Nakasero to discuss matters concerning the Community, including trade, infrastructure, staffing, health, financing, and regional integration.
As Chairperson of the EAC Summit, I emphasised the need to strengthen regional cooperation and accelerate the implementation of programmes that advance prosperity and integration for our people.
@KagutaMuseveni A powerful reflection on our nation's history. We honor the heroes and heroines whose sacrifices secured a better future for generations of Ugandans. 🇺🇬
#ProtectingTheGains
Fellow Ugandans, on this Heroes Day, we remember the immense sacrifices made by our people in the struggle for freedom. The 9th of June 1981 was chosen to represent the hundreds of thousands who were killed, especially in the Luweero Triangle. After the war, we collected skulls from 32 communal graves as a reminder of the atrocities our people endured.
When we went to the bush, Uganda was facing a profound crisis. The economy had collapsed, governance had broken down, insecurity was rampant, and for 18 years, Ugandans had been denied the opportunity to freely elect their leaders. Our objectives were therefore clear: restore democracy, guarantee security, expand and diversify the economy, and rebuild the country.
I thank the civilian and armed veterans who joined us in this struggle and helped achieve these goals. I also salute the families of those heroes who are no longer with us. The challenge before us now is economic transformation and ensuring that every household joins the money economy.
@KagutaMuseveni Happy Heroes Day to all Ugandans. We will be tuned in at exactly 10:00am to listen and reflect on the sacrifices of our heroes.
#WhyUgDecidedM7
Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Tomorrow is Heroes Day. I will address the country live on TV, radio and social media at 10:00am.
Please tune in as we commemorate our heroes and discuss matters concerning our country.
@KagutaMuseveni A commendable meeting focused on a critical issue. Your emphasis on early detection, public awareness, and cross-border cooperation demonstrates the leadership needed to effectively respond to health emergencies and protect our communities.

I met with the World Health Organization Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who called on me at State House Entebbe.
We discussed the Ebola outbreak in the region and the measures needed to strengthen prevention and response efforts. I stressed the importance of community awareness, early detection, and cross-border collaboration.
Uganda has experience in mobilizing communities to confront public health challenges, as we did during the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through science, leadership, and cooperation with partners such as WHO, we can continue to protect our people and strengthen regional health security.
@KagutaMuseveni Thank you for your continued leadership. Congratulations to all the newly appointed Cabinet members, and may they serve with dedication and commitment to the progress of Uganda and its people.
#WhyUgDecidedM7
Today at State House Entebbe, I witnessed the swearing-in of the newly appointed members of Cabinet. I congratulate them upon taking the oath of office and wish them success as they undertake the responsibility of serving our people and advancing Uganda’s transformation.
