When my dad told me that i can only achieve the best in this world through understanding who iam in Christ and through working hard, i could not get it but now i know wat he really meant..💕thankyouGod.🙏

[Janet K. Museveni @JanetMuseveni]

It's me, Janet Museveni. It is a confirmation that the God I talk about is a living God. He is not a myth, He lives!

I must therefore thank Uganda, beginning with Mzee, who has prayed with the whole nation. I praise God for leading us to know Him. Thank you all for coming out publicly to pray for me.

Thank you for all those continuous prayers and also for the kind birthday wishes. Thank you for letting me know just how much I am loved.

What does it really cost to be connected in Uganda?

By Dec. 2025, Uganda had 47.1M active mobile subscriptions, 36.3M active mobile money accounts and 18.5M internet subscriptions.

This Wednesday at 7:30PM on the 58th #CEPAConvo, we discuss “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚” — and ask what it will take to make connectivity affordable, inclusive and useful for everyone.

If you are feeling down and things don't seem to be working, do this.

Get into a room alone, shut the door and begin to declare God's promises out loud speaking forth his blessings and strength into your life.

Do it until your mood changes and then you would have broken the back of a spirit which was trying to put you in bondage.

Repeat this every time a depressing feeling comes on you and sooner than you think it will be a thing of the past and a new season will be born in your life.

Through their group discussions and presentations, fellows explored what it means to communicate accountability without closing off dialogue.

They reflected on how to frame messages differently for citizens, youth, media, local leaders, SACCO leadership, and government institutions; how to use trusted media and community engagement channels to make complex audit findings understandable; and how to involve young people and community members as active participants in demanding reform.

Just as importantly, the exercise required them to consider how to keep engagement open with ministries and SACCO leaders while still firmly pushing for stronger accountability, better governance, and policy change in the management of PDM funds.

@MinisterKenie @mercy_debie Happiest birthday to this great Woman of God🎉🙌❤️

[Barugahara Balaam Ateenyi. @BalaamBarugahar]

Humility at its finest: Apostle Grace Lubega of @Phanerookampala kneels to greet mzee Pastor Kasirivu and mama Pastor Irene Kasirivu. This beautiful gesture of respect and reverence took place during the memorial service held at Gabba Community Church last evening.
I honor you, man of God, for your exemplary conduct and for honoring the senior Apostles . Your humility is truly inspiring. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

[Nathaniel Bassey @nathanielblow]

Spiritual warfare 101 - No matter how overwhelmed you “feel” inside, never show the devil. You see, the devil is NOT Omniscient, so he does not know all things. The things he knows about us are things said and spoken of us. Or the things we let out from our mouths ourselves or by our reactions and actions. So while you may be overwhelmed in your soul, the way he gets to know is from your reaction. And because he is a wicked and oppressive entity, when he knows where it hurts, he robs it in the more.

But responding in praise confounds him. This is exactly the rationale behind the idea that praise confuses the enemy. Because he can’t understand why his onslaught is not causing you to give up and give in.

So beloved saints of God, regardless how you feel right now, find a way to release your praise !

“14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.”
Psalm 71:14.

You are BLESSED 🙂

📍 Yesterday at the CEPA Offices, Dr. Martin Kizito facilitated the 3rd Module of #CRPF session on 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 (𝐏𝐋𝐒) & 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 — a conversation that challenged us to think beyond the excitement of passing laws and focus instead on what happens after.

At the centre of the discussion was a simple but important question: once a law is enacted, do we take time to assess whether it is actually working as intended? That is the value of PLS.

It helps Parliament and other governance actors review whether legislation is being implemented properly, whether it is achieving its intended objectives, and whether it is creating the kind of impact it was meant to have.

What made the session especially relevant was the reminder that law-making should not end at assent. If anything, that is where the real test begins.
