In applauding the quiz format, Mr. Muyomba praised how televised public speaking builds confidence, the kind employers today love. Some contestants impressed so much that he joked we might be looking at future MPs and national leaders in the making.
“Every participant is a winner,” he said, noting the skills, exposure and self-belief gained outweigh any trophy. He congratulated today’s champions and thanked Vision Group and partners for nurturing Uganda’s next generation of thinkers and innovators.

Mr. Muyomba highlighted why UCC supports this quiz: it's sharpening of how students think deeply, quickly, and broadly, skills needed not just for academics, but for the real world they’re about to enter.
He also pointed out that with young people forming a big part of our population, this platform helps UCC share vital messages on internet safety and meaningful digital engagement.
And yes, he reminded the audience that the future is digital… and honestly, which is now the present, from e-commerce, social media, Ai, and to fintech.

Airtel Uganda Releases Annual Financial Report for 2023: Highlights & Analysis
Yesterday for the first time, Airtel Uganda as the company released its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023. This is the first such release since the telecommunications company went public in November 2023.
Worthy to note, in the four months since its Initial Public Offering (IPO), the company’s share price has slipped by 13%, moving from its peak value of UGX 100 per share recorded on November 7 to sit presently at UGX 87 per share.
Performance of the Company
Taking a closer look at the company's performance, the numbers are mixed.
Revenue
Revenue showed a 12% year-on-year increase in 2023 from 2022, reaching UGX 1.78 Trillion. This, however, falls significantly short of the anticipated revenue cited in their IPO prospectus, translating to an UGX 80 billion shortfall. The IPO forecasted revenue nearing UGX 1.86 Trillion as of December 31, 2023.
The prospectus Numbers
Profit for the year
Moreover, the Profit After Tax witnessed a decline of about 9%, sliding from UGX 325 billion in 2022 down to roughly UGX 296 billion in 2023.
More alarming is the fact that the IPO had projected a Profit for the year of UGX 457 billion, a target missed by over UGX 160 billion. This disparity perhaps explains why the Basic Diluted earnings per share at year-end stood at UGX 7.4 per share, a far cry from the projected UGX 22 per share.
Why, in spite of a nominal revenue shortfall of just UGX 80 billion, did profits plunge so dramatically below the profits forecasted only a few months prior?
Airtel Money Questions
Exploring the Close Ties between Airtel Uganda and Airtel Mobile Commerce Uganda
A review of the financials reveals that Airtel Mobile Commerce Uganda (also known as Airtel Money) were paid related party expenses totaling UGX 206 billion as of December 31, 2023. This represents an increase from UGX 160 billion in the previous year. However, Airtel Uganda's revenue from Airtel Money was just UGX 29 billion. This suggests that funds are largely flowing in one direction: from the publicly listed Airtel Uganda to the unlisted Airtel Money.
Notably, Airtel Uganda has also signed a drawdown facility with Airtel Money to the tune of UGX 75 billion for which UGX 40 Billion has already drawn down by Airtel Uganda.
Happy Investing.

My brother Bishop Stephen Namanya and I decided to take a health walk today morning around Rushere hill.
Every morning, I ensure that I exercise, either by jogging or walking on the stares in my house 24 times to remain healthy.
It's also good to regulate your eating habits.
