Scholarly intelligence is desirable, but without ancillary spiritual & moral values, it's useless & destructive. Society is transformed by wisdom, gained from the fear of God! Don't fall for phony presentations abt zero-tolerance for corruption, etc.; investigate secret dealings!
This afternoon, I officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony for Kidepo International Airport in Karenga District.
I reminded the wananchi that Karamoja has come a long way from the days of insecurity, cattle rustling and lawlessness. The restoration of peace has created the conditions for the Karamoja region to develop.
The airport will improve access to Kidepo Valley National Park, boost tourism, attract investors, create jobs for our young people and expand markets for local products. Already, more than 1,600 Ugandans are employed on the project.
I thank our partners from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates for recognizing the immense opportunities that exist in Uganda and Africa.
@KagutaMuseveni Asante sana, Mzee wa kazi! Your your endless efforts to 'take salvation to all ends of the earth' are blest!
There's a time when some leaders thought Karamoja should be left behind, b'se they shallowly thought it could never develop albeit all good citizens, fauna, gold, etc.!!
#God's Favour Part II:
To discover, and fulfil one's purpose gives them fulfilment—and unto God, glory! That's when it's said one led meaningful life! It takes God's favor—His appointed time! In all #HUMILITY is key! God's favour upon us is God Himself with us! Be humble, always!
#God's Favour Part II:
CERTAINLY, we're all CREATED with PURPOSE—predating our own existence. Some people, by God's gracious favour, luckily, discover it early—and serve it; others—later, or completely miss it, especially due to PRIDE; or if they do, never fulfill it.
As Chairman of PLU, I want to sincerely apologize to H.E. the President for the embarassing, uncharacteristic and wrong words one of our members, Andrew Mwenda, used against you. We are going to subject our member to a disciplinary process. The NRM/PLU alliance is strong.
This is what civility calls for. Thank you Ndugu @AndrewMwenda, for taking responsibility of what deemed unpalatable and seeking pardon. Only wise and strong people have the courage and courtesy to do so!
"So I want to apologize to the President and also to Magoola and Senfuka. I was unfair to them when I called them conmen and witch doctors. It is utterly unjustified to insult someone that way. In fact that framing undermines the policy argument I was making. Besides, I always advise young people that we can disagree without being disagreeable. I feel bad that I wrote in such a bad language, like a NUP activist rather than a journalist and an intellectual that I aspire to be." ~ Mr. Andrew Mwenda.

"We attacked Kabamba two times, not succeeding. On the third attempt, we had great success. Failure from which we learn lessons, is success." Gen. Y.T.K Museveni.
Never despise this gallant soldier, skilled philosopher, meticulous & strategic revolutionary ~ always intentional!
