@mkainerugaba Our dear Afande, maybe you plan on decentralising most of the services to the regional cities, plus construction and development of a new capital. Kampala would take a huge amount of cost of kujenga na kubomowa
BREAKING NEWS

1- World athletics federation is going to live stream @RwenzoriMarathn just like they do with LONDON MARATHON, NEW YORK MARATHON ETC.
Millions will watching Live from across the Globe. The world will watch Uganda!

3 - We are finalizing a discussion with 2 Africa broadcasters and hopefully we agree on something this week.
4– @robwalkertv( ROB WALKER) has committed to commentating ( at no cost due to his love for UGANDA) along side MARTIN KEINO and our own @andrewkabuura.
SAD NEWS
5- We had agreed with DREAM TEAM TV( google them) who cover world majors( world top marathons) to do a 26 minutes which was going to reach between 500m to 1bn( not kidding) but how we handle info killed it and hopefully next year God willing.
They have work in the US first week of September and since we have been blacklist, they wouldn’t have the 21days required.
It was going to be Ugandas biggest move in PR. @robwalkertv had helped us achieve that. That’s how much @robwalkertv loves Uganda.
Hon. TAYEBWA THOMAS
Bwana hon @Thomas_Tayebwa, my proposal in the next parliament is that we start a tourism week, like one we did once under @RebeccaKadagaUG.
That week, we shall engage MPs about how tourism can get their voters out of poverty. We shall have private sector members exhibit at parliement, members can have one on one discussions.
We shall identify tourism attractions across the country and educate members of parliament about how those can generate wealth.
We shall discuss the possibility of members of parliement to invest in tourism and business in general.
We also want to make sure many of members of parliement come to kasese during @RwenzoriMarathn just to see how activities like Rwenzori marathon create massive economic opportunities.
My desire to see that each leader is able to atleast employ 50 people from their investment from their earnings. That will help MPs understand how the economy actually works. Some do.
I can’t wait to engage you after the election hon @Thomas_Tayebwa soon.
@M_Kananura That will not help anything sir.
Just enforce the law
Put more speed cameras, no compromise once captured
Put more police officers, task them not to take bribes because they do.
Be harsh on the road, give out tickets,
Afande, we have lost so many people, we are not safe
@NupUpdates Reduce the number of districts to the original greater districts, definitely cutting administrative costs plus strengthening the local constituencies for service delivery.
Decentralisation of services, decongesting Kampala
Introducing a public health care system

@usama_mulindwa@wekesa_amos When they stay in Rwanda
They eat tomatoes, onions, vegetables, eggs, potatoes, matoke etc. most of the food is locally produced
The hotels are booked to full capacity, so good business for investors and tipping the workers
Airport taxis are working
Just like @RwenzoriMarathn
@KyarisiimaDiana Pray
Go to church
Go play soccer or any sport
Avoid being alone by yourself
Meet friends and jazz
Know that you’re not alone, almost everyone is having problems
Know that God is bigger than your situation
@wekesa_amos@martinkeino And I also met you at Kisoro Airstrip as you had a break before you could connect to Entebbe. I introduced myself as BALUKU FROM KASESE, THE RWENZORI BOY.
I missed the marathon because I was on safari. But my mother made a lot of sales from tomatoes because of the marathon,
