Insightful week as I attended the induction for Members of Parliament.
We now have the knowledge to deliver on our mandate in lawmaking, oversight, representation, and accountability.
Forever grateful to the people of Kazo who elected me to the August House.
Ready to serve 🇺🇬
Greetings Gen. @sejudav. Your Contemporaries have been allocated Patriotic Officer Numbers of @Plumedia1.
Gen. @jkmuhwezi is No. 71
Gen. Kale Kaihura is No. 73
Is it something you have thought about that the Chairman of the League Considers allocating to you a Patriotic Officer Number? Especially now that you are a Senior Citizen that can give unfiltered & honest Advice to the National Chairman of the League. Blessed Sunday
Greetings Hon. @FrankTumwebazek. I hope all is well.
I come to you about the FMD Vaccine. I want to begin by appreciating where we have come from as a Sector. Before you came to MAAIF, we lived in fear and distress.
The life of a farmer was characterized with constant quarantines that had no deadline. Areas of Isingiro, Kazo, Kiruhura, Sembabule & other areas went through unspeakable trauma of Quarantines that stretched for 2,3 or 4 years. I remember there is a time, I almost dropped out of school because my father in Bugarihe, Kazo could not afford my School fees due to the same quarantine.
Today, the story is different. Foot and Mouth Disease Outbreaks are better managed, quarantines quickly lifted & normalcy restored in record time!
The introduction of the FMD Vaccine which I propose should be mandatory (if it is not), is a game changer to the Animal Industry. Our cattle & cattle products will break through onto International Markets. There is a sigh of relief & hope. Congratulations.
However Honourable, 8,000= for every cow and 4,000= for each goat is such a huge amount for an ordinary farmer. This money is spent alongside huge amounts of inconsistent Acaricides.
In the next batches, we propose that this amount is revised to help our farmers because in any case when our products finally break through on International Markets, Government will surely recoup in terms of Taxes. We can subsidize the farmer & share the cost burden.
Otherwise, thank you for the progress so far🙏
I led a delegation of Coffee farmers from Kashongi County in Kiruhura District to a Coffee Farming & value addition study at Inspire Coffee Park in Ntungamo District.
The District Chairperson @Rmukago was represented by the District Vice C/P and Secretary for Works Hon. Akim.

ADVICE TO THOSE THAT LOST THE ELECTIONS.
Greetings to you all. Next week is swearing in for President and Members of the 12th Parliament.
This means that Mainstream Media & Social Media will be awash with Photos of your opponents & their supporters celebrating. If you do not have a thick skin, you could breakdown or be traumatized. I advise you to;
1. Avoid watching the live proceedings of the Parliamentary Swearing In Ceremony. Hear it from others that your opponent has been sworn in.
2. Minimize Social Media in the next 7 days
3. Understand that this is not the end of the world
4. Know that this was never your chance
5. Understand that it was your opponent’s time
6. Take yourself out with friends and celebrate the small achievements in your life
7. Don’t kill yourself just because you didn’t go to Parliament
8. You lived without Parliament before & you will still live without it.
9. There are hundreds of people that believed in your Candidature, be grateful that you did your best 🙏✨
Mr @tofayo2024 is my best friend,OB Kaaro High School for 5 Years,he has been consistent in supporting and participating in different charitable activities.He rarely misses #KabakaBirthDayRuns and he couldn't manage to miss the recently concluded Gen @mkainerugaba's Birthday Run. Indeed disability isn't inability but lack of courage and will to prove that fact is.
So,I wasn't surprised to see him at the run.
SAME SCRIPT!
Amama Mbabazi denied harboring Presidential Ambitions in 2014 & ran for President only 2 years later in 2016.
Dr. Besigye said he had no interest in the Presidency yet he had run 4 Straight times (2001,2006,2011,2016).
It is a matter of Time!
To all interested in the Kits for the Gen MK Birthday Run, I encourage you to purchase them only from these authorized points:
- Shell Kisaasi, Bukoto Road
- Serena Hotel
- PLU HQ, Naguru
- Kololo Independence Grounds
This helps us guard against counterfeits.
KITABO-KASHONGI-KIRUHURA DISTRICT!
