I've had an opportunity to meet most of our local politicians not to do politics but to spread love and encourage dialogue. We have emerged from a dark past, it is time to let our words and actions be rooted in love, tolerance and respect for diversity. Peace today and always!
Hello #UoX
One of our vibrant members @FreddyMyLov3 who we have been raising money for unfortunately passed on.
Her family still has a heavy hospital bill so if you can drop a contribution, it would be appreciated.

The Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, is pleased to announce the appointment of Vanessa Nakate of Uganda as his Special Envoy for Youth.
The Chairperson @ymahmoudali congratulates Ms. Nakate on her appointment and commends her outstanding contributions to climate justice, environmental advocacy and youth mobilisation. Her work in amplifying the voices of young people, particularly from Africa and the Global South, has helped elevate the urgency of climate action and underscored the importance of ensuring that young people are meaningfully involved in decisions affecting their present and future.
Commenting on the appointment, the Chairperson stated: “Africa’s youth are not merely the leaders of tomorrow; they are indispensable partners in shaping the continent’s future today. Vanessa Nakate’s record of advocacy for climate justice and her commitment to amplifying young people’s voices make her well placed to help strengthen the African Union’s engagement with youth across the continent.”
The Chairperson also expressed his appreciation to the AU selection panel for its diligence, professionalism and thorough due diligence throughout the selection process. He noted that a rigorous and transparent selection process is essential to identifying individuals with the experience, integrity and commitment needed to advance the Union’s priorities.
The Chairperson looks forward to working closely with Ms. Nakate to deepen the African Union’s engagement with young people and ensure that their perspectives and aspirations inform the Union’s policies and programmes. “We must continue to create meaningful opportunities for young Africans to participate in decision-making, contribute to solutions and shape the policies that affect their lives. I look forward to working with Ms. Nakate to further strengthen this partnership between the African Union and the continent’s youth,” he added.
The appointment reaffirms the AU's commitment to placing young people at the centre of Africa’s development and recognising them as essential partners in advancing the continent’s aspirations for peace, integration, prosperity and sustainable development. It also highlights the importance of youth leadership in addressing the climate crisis and promoting a more just and sustainable future for Africa.

Former US President Bill Clinton quoted the Quran during a speech in Koinonia Worship Centre in Florida condemning discrimination against Muslims.
Clinton recalled his daughter Chelsea introducing him to the verse.
This is to thank @ymahmoudali the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for appointing Vanessa Nakate as his Special Envoy for the Youth. Vanessa 's work on Climate Justice stands out, she will serve the African continent with dedication. Uganda appreciates this recognition and wishes her well. @KagutaMuseveni@MercyLakiskis
Religious actors and institutions today must recognize that invoking the divine cannot serve as a standing substitute for clear answers on ethics and other public claims. In an age of heightened scrutiny, especially from a generation that expects transparency, reliance on tradition or mystery alone will not sustain trust. Genuine accountability strengthens the credibility of faith communities; evasion erodes it.
As a man of God, your response is always your honor. Cursing and condemning those who challenge you is ungodly and inconsistent with the example of Christ, who does not sanction such behavior.
“No one here calls out Islam”
Mr Kayanja ssebo, the issue is whether your specific claims of healing hold up under scrutiny. It is not a score-settling exercise between religions.
These are not stunts. And this post proves a serious point.
We went to Karamoja to feed people and save lives, while the audited places you talk about did nothing. We have put people through school, taken children off the streets, and helped raise many who are now doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
I understand the need to defend your dad. But regarding what you just mentioned, we already do those things. Ask any member of our church. When we bought tractors for Karamoja, we brought them publicly for everyone to see so that we could be held accountable.
Other churches, which, sorry to say, your dad defended, have raised money for church buildings that no one has built and for which no one can see any progress.
We feed new converts at our church. We feed thousands who attend meetings. We feed people, send food to those who have nothing, and even give to those who already have something.
Your dad never mentioned any of what you are now bringing up. He never talked about transparency, audits, or accountability. He simply attacked miracles with a clear lack of foundation.
My point still stands: no one here calls out Islam for its many dangerous issues. In September 2023, ADF and Al-Shabaab delivered a bomb to our church. No one called it out. No one said a word.
Pastors don’t perform miracles. My dad has made that clear at every crusade: “ROBERT KAYANJA DOESN’T HEAL. ONLY JESUS HEALS.”
It was the following day that your dad expanded the scope of his statement after receiving backlash, and rightfully so.
The Church and born-again Christians in Uganda are a net positive and a massive help to society.
During COVID, frankly speaking, people had no money for anything. People were struggling to eat and couldn’t move around. We went above and beyond by sending food out to those in need. We did the same in South Sudan and Kenya.
Again, we are accountable because when we say we will do something, we do it.
However, if you’re talking about raising money for a building and never building it, that’s not us!
By the way, we are audited by the URA. We have to give an account and keep our books in order.
We have a Bible college where we train and teach pastors and ministers. We hold youth conferences where we feed everyone for free. You can literally show up, eat, and leave, because our giving isn’t tied to whether you sit in church or not.
Again, I understand defending your dad, but this attack was wrong.
And watch this: backlash can be hard, but no one would make these kinds of statements about any other faith or religion
In a bid to enhance our operations in the Voice Over Violence campaign, we engaged in a conversation with Dr. @RugyendoQuotes the Principal Press Secretary to the Speaker and ASP Achilles- CLO at Parliament on how to fully execute our work of the campaign at a national level since Mob action is not only a Kampala problem but to the whole country at large.
The meeting went on well as the two welcomed our idea and our partnership proposal with the Parliament. As we keep hoping for a positive response from the speaker's office, we decided to kick off the campaign since the question at hand has no timeline.

Statement of the AU Commission on the Attack against King Khalid International Airport in #Riyadh.
The African Union (AU) Commission strongly condemns the attack attributed to the Houthis against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on 10 October 2026, which reportedly claimed 12 lives and injured more than 300 people, according to Saudi authorities.
The Commission expresses its solidarity with the Government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, extends its condolences to the bereaved families and countries concerned, and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
The Commission underscores that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected in accordance with international law and must never be targeted.
It calls for an immediate cessation of attacks and urgent de-escalation to prevent further escalation and safeguard regional peace and security.

Happy 64th Independence Anniversary to all Ugandans.
A country is made better by the care its people give it. May we leave #Uganda a safer, kinder, and more hopeful home than we found it, for ourselves and for those who come after us. #Ugat64
