Rest in peace, Your Majesty @KingOyoOfficial. This is very difficult to comprehend! My condolences to the guardian @KagutaMuseveni, the Queen Mother, and the entire royal family, @toorokingdompm, the people of Tooro, and the country at large.
As a Ugandan, it fills me with pride to see an illustrious son of our nation carry a lifetime of global service, a fierce commitment to the vulnerable, and a deep passion for justice to the world stage.
For years, many of us have followed with great respect, Ambassador Olara Otunnu’s incredible track record at the United Nations.
His work championing human rights and protecting children in armed conflict is exactly the kind of leadership the global community desperately needs right now. True leadership is measured by integrity, vision, and an unwavering dedication to peace and justice.
We can not forget the historical injustice when the Museveni regime vindictively denied him an endorsement for this very position years ago. They blocked him for simply refusing to stay silent about the atrocities they were committing against our people. Perhaps if he had risen to that position at the time, the world would be fairer, more just, and more peaceful.
Central to his vision is a profound passion for genuine multilateral reform, where international institutions must evolve beyond mere arenas of superpower politics to become true instruments of equity, accountability, and shared prosperity for all nations.
I hear some citizens who are raising tough questions about why the regime has suddenly changed its mind to endorse him now. Your scepticism is understandable, given what the bloodthirsty regime is doing to our people. And I know Ambassador Otunnu to be a man of deep humility who welcomes free speech and receives your concerns with grace. We can all bank on his long-term, proven integrity and hope that when he rises to become the world’s top diplomat, he will never turn a blind eye to the ongoing struggle for freedom in his own motherland. As he has consistently acknowledged, Uganda faces dark spots that need fixing.
Ambassador Otunnu has my full solidarity and prayers as he carries our collective aspirations for a fairer world to the global stage.
Heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beautiful children from King David Junior School in Kapchorwa. No words can ease the pain of the parents and families today. We mourn with you, Uganda, and all of parents. May God hold these families close. 🕊️💔
It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences to the parents, guardians, families, and the entire King David Junior School community following the tragic loss of these precious young lives.
There are no words sufficient to ease the pain of losing a child. This heartbreaking tragedy has touched us all and has left our nation in mourning. Our thoughts and prayers are with every family enduring this unimaginable grief. May God grant you strength, comfort, and peace during this incredibly difficult time, and may the cherished memories of our beloved children remain a lasting source of hope and love.
To the children, teachers, and all those who sustained injuries, I wish you a swift and complete recovery. May the Lord's healing hand be upon you, restoring your health, courage, and strength each day.
May the souls of the departed little angels rest in eternal peace.
I have just held discussions with Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba @mkainerugaba and we, as leaders of PLU, have agreed that we shall reopen both Daily Monitor and NTV soon. However, we shall first have discussions with the management of both sister companies. I will inform them when we can have this meeting.
@nbstv Let's hope the term's slogan #nosleep will stand the test of time and not inclined to a group of persons alone. We have had previous promises that still remain unfulfilled decades later.
There is a growing narrative, especially on social media, claiming that "education is not the key to success", that one must search for other “keys.” I strongly caution young people against this misguided thinking.
Education remains a key. It may not be the only key, but it is certainly a fundamental one. It opens doors to knowledge, opportunity, innovation, and responsible leadership.
Education equips individuals to make informed decisions, contribute meaningfully to society, and navigate the complexities of the modern world with confidence and integrity. Nothing replaces knowledge. No one should mislead you into believing otherwise.
Yes, there are a few successful individuals with limited formal education, but how many are they? They do not even constitute 1% of Uganda’s population. Exceptional cases should not be used to misguide a generation.
Sustainable success is built on knowledge, discipline, and values and education provides that foundation. I firmly debunk the narrative that education is not essential to success.
