This morning, I joined the Bishop of the Busoga Diocese, Prof. Dr Grace Lubaale, and the leaders of Jinja District to officiate the inauguration ceremony of St. Phillip's Church of Uganda, Kyabirwa, Jinja District. I conveyed warm greetings from H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the first lady, Mama Janet Kataha Museveni and the entire office of the President. I reminded the congregation that H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni has positioned religious institutions as key partners in national development, unity, and moral guidance and urged them to embrace government wealth creation programmes to fight poverty in our country. This will enable the servants of God to contribute to the development of the religious institutions and trasform our communities. For God and my country.

Today, I was pleased to join H.E. the Vice President, Maj. Jessica Alupo, colleague Ministers and other government officials during the special engagement between the central government delegation and the Buganda Kingdom. I conveyed warm greetings from H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who remains committed to constructive dialogue and collaboration with all cultural institutions in advancing Uganda's development agenda. I thanked the Rt Hon. Katikkiro, Charles Peter Mayiga, and the Buganda Kingdom for hosting a significant meeting that goes beyond bringing leaders together but also reflects on our shared belief that dialogue mutual respect and cooperation as essentials for promoting peace, national cohesion and the socio-economic transformation of our people. I reminded them that Uganda has made remarkable progress over the last four decades. Our country has enjoyed peace and stability, expanded infrastructure, improved access to education and healthcare, and created a stronger foundation for economic growth. These achievements did not come by chance. They were made possible through visionary leadership, sacrifice and the resilience of the Ugandan people. Our collective responsibility is to protect these gains while ensuring that every household benefits from our country's continued development. H.E. the President has consistently emphasized that Uganda's transformation rests on four key pillars: Patriotism, Pan-Africanism, Socio-Economic transformation, and Democracy. These principles call upon all leaders—political, cultural and religious—to work together in promoting unity, creating wealth and improving the welfare of our people. The government recognises the important role played by the Buganda Kingdom in preserving our cultural heritage, mobilising communities for development and promoting social cohesion. Likewise, the government has continued to implement presidential initiatives aimed at improving household incomes and creating opportunities for all Ugandans. Programmes such as the PDM, Emyooga, the Presidential Industrial Hubs and the Presidential Initiative on Skilling the Boy/Girl Child are all intended to lift families out of poverty and expand opportunities, especially for the youth and women. Development cannot be delivered by government alone, It requires the active participation of cultural institutions, religious leaders, local governments, the private sector and citizens themselves. It provides an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between the central government and the Buganda Kingdom, harmonise our efforts and ensure that development programmes reach the people more effectively. Our institutions may have different mandates, but we serve the same people and pursue the same goal of improving their lives. As we strengthen this partnership, we must also remain vigilant in protecting the gains Uganda has registered. Peace, security and political stability remain the bedrock of development. We should therefore reject division, misinformation and actions that undermine national unity. Differences in opinion should never weaken our shared commitment to Uganda's prosperity. Instead, they should inspire constructive dialogue and cooperation. The government firmly believes that cultural institutions are valuable partners in development. By working together, we can promote wealth creation, encourage responsible citizenship, preserve our cultural values and build stronger, more resilient communities. I appealed that the engagement mark a renewed commitment to working together in the spirit of mutual respect, trust and shared responsibility. I reaffirmed the government's commitment to maintaining a strong and constructive relationship with the Buganda Kingdom. Together, we can bridge any gaps, deepen cooperation and accelerate the socio-economic transformation of our people while safeguarding the peace, stability and unity that Uganda has worked so hard to achieve. For God and my country.

Yesterday, I joined the family of Dr. Aisha Ruth Kasolo @RuthBiyinzika to celebrate the love of their children as Pastor Michael Kiyingi weds their daughter Suzan at Serena Hotel, Kampala. My heart was full of joy witnessing God’s gift of love in their lives, and I expressed gratitude to the parents for nurturing their children with faith. A happy and lasting marriage is grounded on the following three principles: 1. Commitment, 2. Companionship, and 3. Communication. More importantly, when Jesus Christ is prioritized at the center of your relationship, that marriage can flourish through both good times and difficult seasons. Congratulations, Michael & Suzan! May the Lord establish your home in His Word, multiply your love, bless you with good children, make your marriage a testimony of His goodness, and let His presence dwell in your home.

This evening at Uganda Media Centre, I addressed the disturbing escalation of cattle theft in the Greater Mbarara region, a matter that has generated widespread public concern and legitimate outcry among our people. The government has received numerous reports indicating that this vice has reached alarming proportions, with many livestock farmers losing the very animals upon which their livelihoods depend. Livestock is the backbone of the economy of Ankole and much of western Uganda. Beyond its economic value, cattle represent years of hard work, family wealth and hope for a better future. Their theft is therefore not merely a criminal offence against individual farmers; but also a direct attack on Government's wealth creation agenda and our national mission of lifting Ugandans out of poverty. What makes this situation more unfortunate is that some of the stolen cattle were purchased using funds accessed through the Parish Development Model (PDM). Government deliberately invested these resources to enable vulnerable households to build sustainable incomes and escape poverty. When criminals steal such livestock, they are sabotaging one of Government's flagship socio-economic transformation programmes and frustrating the efforts of hardworking Ugandans striving to improve their lives. As the Minister responsible for coordinating Resident District Commissioners, I directed all RDCs/RCCs, DISOs and district security committees across the Greater Mbarara region to treat cattle theft as a top security priority. This vice must receive the same urgency and coordinated response accorded to other organised crimes that threaten national stability and economic development. I equally called upon the Uganda Police Force to intensify intelligence-led operations, increase patrols, strengthen investigations and dismantle the criminal syndicates behind these thefts. The criminals involved are increasingly organised, and our response must be even more organised, coordinated and decisive. I commended the Resident District Commissioner for Mbarara, Mr. Nicholas Nuwagira, together with the DPC and the entire district security team, for the commendable progress registered so far. Their operations have already led to the arrest of more than twenty suspects believed to be members of the organised criminal network responsible for these thefts. This demonstrates that where security agencies remain vigilant and coordinated, criminals can be defeated. Government has further established that many of the stolen cattle are sold within Uganda, particularly in the districts of Mitooma and Kasese, while others are smuggled across our western border into the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo. Therefore, No animal should be transported or traded without proper movement permits and verification of ownership. Livestock markets, checkpoints and transport corridors must be subjected to heightened inspection. Anyone found transporting, purchasing or facilitating the movement of cattle without the requisite documentation should be thoroughly investigated. I also remind all police commanders at district and sub-county levels throughout the Greater Mbarara region that Government invested heavily in improving policing capacity by procuring motorcycles specifically to enhance mobility, surveillance and rapid response. These motorcycles must now be fully deployed in protecting our farming communities. The public expects visible policing, timely response and proactive operations that prevent crime rather than merely responding after losses have occurred. To our cattle keepers, I urge them to remain alert and strengthen community vigilance. Secure your kraals, properly identify your animals where possible, and immediately report suspicious persons, vehicles or unusual livestock movements. The Government remains committed to protecting lives, property and the investments of every Ugandan For God and My Country.

Yesterday, I was delighted to officiate the Jinja District Local Government's Women's Day celebrations at Namagera Town Council Headquarters, themed; "Scaling up Investment to Accelerate Access to Justice for all Women and Girls in Uganda.", a theme that aligns with the global campaign, "Rights, Justice, Action for all Women and Girls." I paid special tribute to H.E. President Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni, for championing the unprecedented empowerment of women in Uganda. Before the NRM came into leadership, many women were largely confined to traditional domestic roles with limited opportunities to influence national affairs. Through the President's vision of fundamental change, women have risen to occupy the highest levels of leadership and decision-making in our country. According to latest data by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN Women, Uganda today proudly ranks 6th globally among countries with the highest female representation in the Executive; with women holding about 49 percent of Cabinet positions. In Parliament, women constitute approximately 35.3 percent of Members, placing Uganda among the world's leading nations in women's parliamentary representation and among the top ten in Africa. These achievements are a clear demonstration of government's unwavering commitment to gender equality and inclusive governance. Beyond leadership, the Government has deliberately invested in programmes that economically empower women and girls. Women-focused affirmative-action initiatives within programmes such as the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, the Generating Growth Opportunities and Productivity for Women Enterprises (GROW) Project, have enabled millions of women to participate meaningfully in Uganda's socio-economic transformation. This is on top of affirmative action within the education, healthcare and youth empowerment programmes. However, as we celebrate these milestones, we must remain alive to the realities that continue to affect our women and girls, particularly in Busoga. The region still records one of the highest adolescent pregnancy rates in the country, estimated at between 28.4 and 34 percent, well above the national average of 24 percent. At the same time, urban poverty remains a significant challenge, standing at approximately 12 percent. Poverty continues to expose many girls and women to exploitation, gender-based violence, school dropout and denial of their fundamental rights. The challenge before us, is not for government alone, It is a responsibility that rests upon all of us—leaders, parents, religious institutions, cultural leaders, civil society, and every citizen of Busoga. We must complement President Museveni's deliberate efforts by protecting our girls, keeping them in school, supporting women's economic empowerment, and promoting justice and dignity for every woman. As we implement the President's call of "Kisanja No Sleep, No Corruption, let us reject corruption, bribery and all forms of injustice, because these vices often create fertile ground for the exploitation and marginalization of women and girls. Every shilling lost through corruption is a missed opportunity to educate or treat a girl, empower a woman, or improve their access to justice. The government has created the policies, programmes and opportunities for women to thrive. It is now our collective duty to ensure that every girl in Busoga enjoys these opportunities so that no one is left behind as Uganda advances towards higher middle-income status under Vision 2040 and the National Development Plan IV. I urged every woman to continue believing in herself, every man to become a champion of women's rights, and every leader to serve with integrity and purpose. Together, we can build a society where every woman and every girl lives free from discrimination, violence and poverty, and is empowered to realise her full potential. I commended the leadership of Jinja District for the arrangement. For God and My Country.

I urged the ministers to remain focused on disciplined implementation, accountability and efficient service delivery as we work to fulfil the NRM’s commitment of securing Uganda’s socio-economic transformation over the next five years.

Today, I delivered closing remarks at the 3-day Capacity Building Workshop for RDCs, Deputy RDC/RCCs, Assistant RDC/RCCs, RISOs and DISOs from Bugisu Sub-region, held at Wash and Wills Hotel, Mbale City. I conveyed warm greetings and best wishes from H.E. President Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni. I informed participants that the President greatly values their work as his representatives at the grassroots. He has consistently emphasized their strategic role in safeguarding peace, security, stability and effective service delivery across Uganda. I commended their contribution during the recently concluded General Elections. Through their vigilance, coordination and commitment to maintaining law and order, the electoral process was conducted in a peaceful and stable environment. Ugandans once again entrusted the National Resistance Movement and H.E. the President with the mandate to lead. This victory carries greater responsibility to deliver on commitments made to wanainchi. I reminded them that their mandate is provided for under Article 203 of the Constitution and other relevant laws. As representatives of the President in their jurisdictions, they are responsible for: monitoring government programmes, coordinating security matters, overseeing service delivery, mobilizing wanainchi for development, and ensuring government policies and directives are effectively implemented. This is not a ceremonial responsibility. It is a strategic national assignment that requires commitment, courage, vigilance, integrity and results. The President’s aspirations remain focused on Uganda’s socio-economic transformation. Programmes like the Parish Development Model, Emyooga, wealth creation initiatives, industrialization, infrastructure development, and human capital development all aim to improve household incomes and transform lives. RDCs/DISOs must ensure that government programmes reach intended beneficiaries, public resources are protected, and wanainchi are mobilized for wealth creation. The President expects them to be champions of development, accountability and effective service delivery. They should utilize state organs within their districts before escalating issues to the Centre. I directed RDCs/DISOs to intensify monitoring of Government programmes and projects. Every shilling appropriated by Parliament must translate into tangible services for the people. Where projects are delayed, abandoned, poorly executed or funds mismanaged, they must intervene promptly and report accordingly. Corruption remains one of the greatest threats to service delivery and socio-economic transformation. Despite substantial government investment, some citizens do not fully benefit due to theft, inflated contracts, ghost beneficiaries, shoddy works and abuse of office. I expect RDCs and DISOs to work together in detecting, preventing and exposing corruption. Those found culpable, regardless of position, should face disciplinary and legal processes. There must be consequences for those who steal from the people. Discipline within the ranks is equally important. Absenteeism, negligence of duty, misconduct and abuse of office will not be tolerated. The President expects officers who are visible, active and responsive to wanainchi. An RDC or DISO who is absent, inaccessible, or detached from Government programmes is not fulfilling his/her purpose. This is a period of implementation, supervision and results, no excuses. Government expects performance. The people expect service. Every officer must account for their presence, work and contribution to Government objectives. Effective service delivery requires collaboration between RDCs, DISOs, technical officers, local government leaders, security agencies and communities. Differences in opinion should not distract from the common objective of transforming lives. My office remains open to all RDCs, Deputy RDCs, ARDCs, RISOs and DISOs for consultation, guidance, or support. For God and my country!
