The capital of the developed economies

“When you leave Uganda, there are only about four or five Ugandan artists whose names are widely recognized internationally — Joshua Baraka, Bebe Cool, Jose Chameleone, and Eddy Kenzo among them. Most of the others who primarily sing in Luganda struggle to gain recognition beyond Uganda, with some not even reaching audiences as far as Gulu.” — Bebe Cool

Today, I had the pleasure of awarding the top three winners of the 4th Regional #IntellectualProperty School Clubs Competition at the @_ARIPO Secretariat in Harare.

Congratulations to Maranatha School from Liberia @IP_Liberia, the overall winner; David Kaunda National STEM Secondary School from Zambia @pacrazambia, first runner-up; and Saint Therese’s Upper Basic School from The Gambia @Gambia_MOJ, second runner-up.

This year’s competition attracted entries from Ghana, The Gambia, Liberia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia, reflecting the growing momentum of IP education across the ARIPO region.

Since 2022, the IP School Clubs Project has become an important platform for nurturing creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and respect for creators’ rights among young people. Participation has grown from 306 students and 36 teachers in 2024 to more than 900 students and 80 teachers by 2026 across nine countries.

I commend all participating students, teachers, and schools, and thank @WIPO and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea @mcstkorea for their continued support.

Budget hungry vs Image laundering:

@MinofHealthUG is praying for Ebola cases harder than Kabanda prayed for a Ministerial position.
Meanwhile the @UgandaMediaCent is telling the world we’re as Ebola-free as Parliament is free of corruption.

Parliament is still in session 👌

Either someone cares so much about our sovereignty, or our sovereignty has someone caring way, way too much

People who relied on AI to study retained less than those who didn’t.

Easy answers don’t always lead to real understanding.
