I reaffirmed Uganda's commitment to transforming agriculture through climate-resilient livestock value chains by increasing productivity, strengthening resilience to climate change, improving post-harvest handling and storage, upholding quality standards for animal products.
RWENZORI MARATHON 2026
KASESE PEOPLE
BALUKU GEOFFREY/ JOY BIIRA
On my way from Mbarara yesterday, I get a phone call from @BalukuGeoffrey and says am here with my sister @JoyDoreenBiira and we would love to speak to you about RWENZORI MARATHON.
@martinkeino who is the son to the founding father of Kenya’s long distance running, once a top athlete also a top sports commentator and I were engaging the GOAT in running for RWENZORI MARATHON.
@JoyDoreenBiira on the other hand was engaging the manager of the G.O.A.T about the same topic. The reason is simple, Kasese is our home and we want to make our contribution for even better results.
If you have observed even here on X, KASESE PEOPLE are pushing RWENZORI MARATHON as though am paying them to so which isn’t true. They simply see us with support of our partners put in MONEY and ENERGY.
Anyone who has attended RWENZORI MARATHON will never argue with me about the value of events like RWENZORI MARATHON to the economy of Uganda and kasese in particular.
Many KASESE BUSINESS PEOPLE keep calling me to say, Amos make sure @RwenzoriMarathn happens because we have collected peoples money for different services already.
An international event is difficult to build reason Uganda doesn’t have many continuous events but when they happen, money is earned across board.
Uganda has only 3 international events now but every district of Uganda should push to have an international and that’s when you will see real growth for across board.
Those 3 international events are Namugongo martyrs day, RWENZORI MARATHON and Nyege Nyege, annually people from around the world look forward to coming to Uganda for those events.
ADVICE
UGANDAN YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
I know that some of you entrepreneurs who follow me on X can get discouraged from waking up and pushing like one called me today morning, because you expect this same negative energy to focus on you.
PLEASE DON’T FOCUS ON THAT!
Wake up daily with your head high, say a prayer and push regardless of the odds because many Ugandans even on X need jobs, need opportunities.
You are the ones who have the ability to employ that one extra person and you don’t have to be perfect, perfect people produce nothing.
Time is never on your side, since we simply as humans just pass through this world, we aren’t meant to be on earth forever, fight to make your mark. Noise will never stop!
It’s you the entrepreneurs that are going to make the much needed economic difference for Uganda because you are the one who takes the risks.
In life, you can choose to be the one who throws stones at the FRUITING TREE or fight to be the FRUITING TREE. If you become the fruiting tree, expect STONES!
Hehe I grew up in a CHILDREN’S HOME with 48 boys who are men today in really bad times. Somehow I attracted fights even as a kid and it’s hasn’t stopped.
Even in tourism people would wake up daily to take me on, it’s reduced now, some see my value others have just given up and in all this, I have seen Gods hand.
By Gods grace I fight to limit my madness( they say every man is mad but the degree of the madness varies) because I found my purpose in life.
So if you come from a background like mine, nothing is going to be easy, it’s a full time fight until the Lord calls you home.
Be encouraged, don’t give up.
Now I have a new rule:
When a child looks sick, trust your eyes, not just the numbers.
I call the doctor for EVERY sick child with abnormal results, even if protocol says "watch and wait."
Some colleagues say I over-call. I don't care.
I would rather be wrong 100 times than miss one child.
They said everyone would forget about the premier League title win, meanwhile the graphics guys and commentators at the World Cup each time an arsenal player touches a ball, assists or scores👇👇👇😂😂😂....dey play
