@SolomonSerwanjj I love the rate at which Bamutakudde is archiving. This needs to be replicated country-wide. Speaking of the brand/logo, I noticed that in Europe, different communes had their own flags and courts of arms. Well done mukulu!
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.
Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.
I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.
The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.
An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.
May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.
Starting Monday, 24th August, no DMC Taxis will be allowed within the Greater Kampala-Metropolitan Area.
I have directed @PoliceUg to launch a 100-day operation in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area targeting commuter taxis found to be in a Dangerous Mechanical Condition (DMC).
Our roads must not become death traps because of poorly maintained vehicles.
The operation will particularly focus on the dilapidated 14-seater taxis commonly known as “Ganyegenya.”
Public transport must be safe, roadworthy and fit for purpose. We owe Ugandans nothing less.
@KakwenzaRukira Amazing! I've driven through Kafue a couple of times, when headed to Siavonga or to Livingstone/Zim/Bot. Zambia has a vibe to it, a likeness to Uganda (the people) but a lot calmer. I'd live there. 🎦 is around the Turnpike junction in Kafue where T2 and T1 meet.
@benmwine@GodwinTOKO@carfulu I've always wondered if there is a clause in the law that allows for importation of classic cars. I'm a fun of classics, some of which can only be imported. Do you know @benmwine ?
Leadership is not a title; it is a responsibility.
Leadership is about creating the future, not merely managing the present.
Great leaders are defined by integrity, resilience, and service.
@melvinnasasira And his sons are of great character. One is my paediatrician, and the other is a colleague. Dr Matthew Lukwiya was a true Ugandan hero.
To health educators & promoters, epidemiogists, nutritionists & all health professionals, I am really worried. And you too should be.
Why? The battle against non- Communicable diseases is far from being won.
The dominant but mistaken thinking that being heavy, overweight & obese= being healthy and on the other hand being slim & small-framed = being unhealthy is a serious cause for alarm. To the contrary, a lean body= a strong one 💪. Is this hard to understand?
Weight loss can only be worrying if it's unintentional,unexplainable, and most times due to malnutrition or an involuntary matabolic syndrome associated with underlying chronic sickness. BUT if weight loss is intentional & achieved through measures such as dieting or slimming that involve reducing one's total body mass through calorie reduction, increased physical activity, or lifestyle changes its nothing else BUT an act to celebrate. It is one of the best health targets/outcomes every rational & disciplined person should set and aim to achieve.
Yes, looking lean or slim may worry some that may not be used with a person's new looks, BUT it is all ok.
Obesity has never been a badge of honor!
So dear friends sending me messages of "quick recovery"( and especially those of you doing so out of love, not mockery), please take heart , I am not sick. My new looks are intentional.
Its well with me & I thank God for all his blessings and mostly the gift of life!
Otherwise,Greetings from NALI, our Political MECCA!
@kyeruphiona Looks like you’re close enough to the couple to visit them, so I’m not sure what they’d think of you if they read this. You make a great point about wise spending, but this probably isn’t the right example to share✌🏾
@TheMutambuze They extend health services to the community e.g. disease surveillance, pregnancy mapping, rapid testing and dispensing of medicines 4 malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia; hygiene promotion etc. VHT reporting is undergoing digitalization (eCHIS). They volunteer and serve a catchment.
