I convened a reconciliation meeting this morning at Parliament between Mrs. Jacqueline Mbabazi, the NRM flag bearer for Older Persons Member of Parliament representing Western Region, and Mr. Patrick Kyamukaate Mutabwire, who was her competitor in the NRM primaries. I would like to thank Mr. Mutabwire for agreeing not to contest as an independent and for choosing to support Mrs. Jacqueline. We are stronger when united as one family under @NRMOnline .
Speaking at the signing, Foundation Chairman Rt. Hon. @AmamaMbabazi noted that Uganda’s future prosperity will depend on “the strength, competitiveness and creativity of its private sector.”
He emphasized the importance of research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in building a stronger economy.

Chief Justice Martha Koome presided over the swearing-in of the Chairperson of the
Public Service Commission; Commissioners of the Kenya Law Reform Commission; and member of the National Heroes’ Council.
Francis Meja was sworn in as the Chairperson of the Public Service Commission, while Emmanuel Mumia, Catherine Ochanda and Walter Ochieng Khobe as members of Kenya Law Reform Commission. Charfano Guyo Mokku was sworn in as a member of the National Heroes Council.
The CJ urged the PSC to strive to ensure that the government becomes a model employer - setting the benchmark for merit, transparency, fairness, and integrity in employer–employee relations.
“The Commission shoulders the duty of actualising Article 234 of the Constitution – that is, embedding constitutional values across the public service, strengthening institutional efficiency, and advancing professional excellence,” CJ Koome said
On Kenya Law Reform Commission, the CJ acknowledge that over the years, the Commission has translated constitutional values into legislative reality - reviewing outdated statutes, proposing progressive reforms, and aligning sectoral laws with constitutional imperatives.
“Your responsibility now is to consolidate and deepen these gains. Law reform must remain proactive, evidence-based, and responsive to emerging social, economic, technological, and governance challenges.”
She urged the Commission to prioritise the review of statutory provisions declared unconstitutional by courts adding that the Judiciary identifies these annually in the State of the Judiciary and Administration of Justice Report. She maintained that prompt legislative action to amend or repeal them is imperative saying the fidelity to the Constitution demands no less.
The CJ encourage the National Heroes Council to celebrate not only prominent figures but also ordinary Kenyans doing extraordinary things - unsung heroes and heroines whose quiet service strengthens our communities. In doing so, the Council nurtures role models for future generations and advance nation-building in its most enduring form.
“By identifying, recognising, and honouring our heroes, you shape our collective memory and affirm the values that define us,” CJ Koome said
