On behalf of the government and the people of Uganda, I congratulate His Excellency Narendra Modi & the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on their victory in the national elections.
The people of Africa share common aspirations and goals with Indians. When India won her independence in 1947, Africans were inspired to fight and overthrow the yoke of colonialism. Today, all of Africa enjoys political freedom.
We, therefore, recognise India as a strategic ally. The people of India and Uganda share common interests, including the pursuit of peace and prosperity. We will continue working together to ensure the well-being of our citizens.
I joined colleagues in the Cabinet and Parliament at Kololo Independence Grounds as H.E the President delivered the State of the Nation address and opened the fourth session of the 11th Parliament.
Fellow Ugandans especially the bazzukulu, as earlier indicated, this afternoon at Kololo, I delivered the State of the Nation address, where I reminded Ugandans of the three historical missions, the 4 principles of the NRM, the distance we have covered, what remains to be done and the main obstacles on the transformational road.

. @Lukowoyesigyire "The Old Kampala Police have arrested Opanya Darius and Azabo Samuel in connection with an aggravated torture video circulating on social media. It is alleged that on February 3rd, 2024, the two suspects had a misunderstanding with Kitooke Isaac, an 18-year-old, and assaulted him using a long stick while confining him with building iron bars atop a building they were guarding along Nakivubo in Kampala city, which was under construction.
The video began circulating on social media last week, prompting the police to open a general inquiry file. After identifying the suspects, the police traced and apprehended them. The victim has been issued a Police Form 3 for a medical check-up.
We would like to clarify that, contrary to some reports on social media, the individual seen torturing the victim in the video is not a police officer. He is a local guard identified as Opanya Darius, whom the victim refers to as "Commander Ivan" in the video. The other suspect, Samuel, is believed to have recorded the video. The two suspects have confessed to the actions portrayed in the video and have been charged with aggravated torture.
We urge local security guards and bouncers to refrain from wearing attire resembling police uniforms, as this may lead to prosecution upon arrest.
