Can you imagine that 75 billion shillings was allocated to Rwaboogo and his clique to teach Ugandans how to drink coffee. I know the President does not want public discussion about members of his family. But we must be allowed to speak about those whose actions tarnish the name of the President and the NRM. Rwaboogo himself encouraged us to speak out. So let us speak. I have only one SON.

While inspecting Vital Tomosi Dairy Limited in Kiruhura District, Hon. Eng. Jonard Asiimwe Akiiki couldn't resist taking a Spiro electric motorcycle for a spin. With a smile, the Hon. Minister experienced firsthand the quiet power and smart technology behind Uganda's growing electric mobility revolution, proving that sometimes the best way to appreciate innovation is to get behind the handlebars.

From 14th–18th July 2026, I will undertake a technical mission across the Western Corridor/Uganda to assess the progress of our Science, Technology and Innovation institutions and strategic ventures. This is not a ceremonial tour; it is a rigorous evaluation of performance, infrastructure operationalisation, implementation capacity and the scientific readiness required to accelerate Uganda's innovation-led socio-economic transformation.

I remain convinced that nations rise through ideas translated into industry, research transformed into enterprise, and innovation converted into national prosperity. I look forward to engaging our scientists, engineers, researchers, innovators, tech enthusiasts and institutional leaders to strengthen execution, remove bottlenecks and ensure that every investment in STI delivers measurable impact for the people of Uganda. #MakingUgandaTheBest #STIUganda

Engineers are protesting a wave of arrests driven by Minister Balaam Barugahara's local government anti-corruption crackdown, arguing the moves bypass proper technical audits and civil service due process.

Mobile money rules change depending on who you are. Individuals face caps of UGX 3M-5M per transaction, while merchant and agent accounts can process up to UGX 300M.

Are these limits protecting or restricting transactions?

Good morning, Uganda.

Yesterday marked another major milestone in Uganda’s science, technology, innovation, and industrialisation journey.

Hon. Eng. Jonard Asiimwe, Minister in the Office of the President for Science, Technology and Innovation, officially handed over a fully electric 42-seater Kayoola EVS and a DC charging station to Busitema University.

This makes Busitema University the second university in Uganda, after Makerere University, to own a locally manufactured electric bus.

A strong vote of confidence in Uganda’s homegrown innovation and a bold step towards clean mobility, sustainable transport, and industrial transformation.

Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, @EngJonard, has launched a nationwide tour of public universities with a bold message, innovation must move beyond classroom projects and become a driver of jobs, wealth creation and national transformation.

#NBSLiveAt9 #NBSUpdates

[Hon. Eng Asiimwe Jonard. @EngJonard]

As I continue advancing Uganda's Science, Technology and Innovation agenda, today I visited Busitema University, Arapai Campus to deepen our engagement on one of the country's most strategic initiatives—the proposed Eastern Regional Agro-Science, Technology and Industrial Park. Building on yesterday's engagements at the Main Campus, today's discussions moved beyond vision to implementation, focusing on transforming research into enterprise, accelerating agro-industrial value addition, strengthening technology transfer, and positioning Eastern Uganda as a competitive hub for science-driven production, innovation, and industrial growth. A tour of the proposed project site and university facilities further reinforced the immense potential that exists when academic excellence is deliberately aligned with national development priorities.

My engagements with the Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Sciences (FAAS), researchers, innovators, students, and the wider university community reaffirmed a conviction that will continue to guide our work: innovation delivers its greatest value only when it solves real problems, creates jobs, and builds industries. The future of Uganda's economy will not be secured by exporting raw potential, but by commercializing research, deepening academia-industry collaboration, and building institutions that convert knowledge into technologies, enterprises, and shared prosperity. This is the direction we have chosen, and we must pursue it with discipline, urgency, and unwavering resolve.

[Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat🇺🇬 @STIsecretariat]

Watch:
