From Omugurusi Ampa to Maama Giinga.

Today, the 24th of June is Maama’s birthday having arrived on Earth on this very day 78 years ago. The family and myself thank God for having given us Maama, kept her safe in the years of orphanhood having lost her Father, Mzee Edward Kataaha, in 1955 and prospering her in the subsequent years up to today.

In Particular, I thank God for the miraculous re-connection with her on Christmas day, 1972, outside the Inter-Continental Hotel in Nairobi. Although we were from the same area of Ntungamo and had studied at Kyamate together in 1958, we had got disconnected by the troubled history of Uganda.

Since January, 1971, we had been operating from Tanzania fighting Idi Amin. I had, indeed, been involved in the disastrous battle of the 17th of September, 1972 in Mbarara where out of 330 People that attacked on that axis, on account of not being trained, by evening I had managed to take back only 46 including an Obote fighter known as Ageta, a good but chaotic fighter.

Sitaane, 3 months ago, on the 21st of March, 2026, launched an attack on the life of Maama. However, sitaane miscalculated. The 21st of March is a good day for the Resistance. That is when we defeated the counter-attack of Idi Amin at Rugaando (12 miles from Mbarara) in 1979. God, using good doctors, saved Maama’s life and she is now recovering well.

Maama has done great things in the family, especially caring for the children during the 2nd phase of the Resistance between 1981 to 1986 when she was alone in exile and I was in the bush. She has been a great philanthropist with UWESO and she has contributed to the NRM politics in Ntungamo on top of her religious work.

I pray to God to get us to 100 years respectively so that we, among the other good things, see the birth of the East African Federation which is the Insurance of Africa against any future domination or marginalization.

This afternoon at State House Entebbe, I met H.E. Jan Sadek, the European Union Ambassador to Uganda, and his delegation as we reflected on 50 years of partnership between Uganda and the EU.

I welcomed this long-standing collaboration and emphasized the need for Europe and other partners to support Africa’s industrialization and value-addition agenda. Africa cannot continue exporting raw materials while importing finished products if we are to achieve prosperity for our people.

A richer and more prosperous Africa is good for business, investment, and trade for both our continents. I encouraged our European friends to work with us in unlocking Africa’s enormous economic potential through value addition, industrialization, and infrastructure development.

I received H.E. William W. Popp, the outgoing Ambassador of the United States to Uganda, at State Lodge Nakasero.

I thank Ambassador Popp for his service over the past years and for his contribution to strengthening the cordial relations between Uganda and the United States. We discussed matters of mutual interest and cooperation between our two countries.

I wish him good luck in his future assignments and endeavours.

This evening at State House Entebbe, I met the first NRM Caucus of the 12th Parliament and welcomed the endorsement of Hon. Jacob Oboth Oboth as candidate for Speaker and Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa as candidate for Deputy Speaker.

I congratulated them and reminded the Caucus that since the inception of the NRM, we have rejected bad politics. When choosing leaders, we must first ask what needs to be done for the people before asking who should do it. Politics must reject identity, religion, tribalism and gender chauvinism, and instead focus on solving people’s problems. Our priority remains wealth creation and social- economic transformation through productive engagement in agriculture, services, artisanship and ICT.

The security forces under the direction and instructions of the Commander-in-Chief launched Operation 'Maliza Ufisadi' the other day. We shall expand this operation and apprehend all culprits. No one will be spared.

Today, I chaired the final Cabinet meeting of the outgoing government and later hosted members to a luncheon in appreciation of their dedicated service to our country. This is the Cabinet that ushered Uganda into middle-income status, and I thank everyone who contributed to this achievement, including the Cabinet Secretariat for effectively managing the business of cabinet.

I thank them all and wish them good luck.

This evening, I met the Members of Parliament-elect at the ongoing retreat in Kyankwanzi and listened to presentations by experts on personal financial management and wealth creation for leaders. We also discussed key national issues, including taxation and how to address them.
I encouraged the members to be ideologically clear and always weigh their actions against principles. Many of the challenges we see, such as conflicts, cheating and bribery, are a result of ideological underdevelopment.

This afternoon, I met the NRM Parliamentary Caucus at State House, Entebbe, and guided them on the FY 2026/2027 budget priorities and the importance of the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2025.
We agreed to prioritize peace and security, roads, electricity, the railway, scientific innovation, preparations for AFCON 2027, restocking in Teso, Lango and Acholi, and salary enhancement for teachers, TVET staff and security personnel to support Uganda’s socio-economic transformation and safeguard our national interests.

I have arrived in Arusha, Tanzania, to attend the 25th Ordinary Summit of the Heads of State of the East African Community. I look forward to fruitful deliberations with my fellow leaders on strengthening regional integration, expanding trade and advancing the shared prosperity and security of our people.

Today, I met with the High Command of the UPDF to review our security situation and the strategic priorities of our country.

I thank the CDF and all officers & Men of the UPDF and commend them for their discipline, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to safeguarding Uganda’s peace and sovereignty. Our stability is built on vigilance, unity, and patriotism.

We shall continue strengthening our defence capacity to ensure that Uganda remains secure and focused on social and economic transformation.
