Uganda, what a beautiful discovery! 🇺🇬 From Mengo Palace to the Kasubi Tombs, meeting the Princess of Buganda and the incredible Ghetto Kids, it’s been a truly inspiring experience. Rich culture, beautiful heritage and so many similarities with Ghana. Different lands, one African soul! 🇬🇭❤️ #TheAfricanDiaries
@UG_Airlines clearly has issues to attend to via their fleet management BUT people like Mr. Michael Kaliisa are gems. Doing over and above during that Lusaka/ Harare madness. Grateful my good sir!
Nigeria says its first Ebola patient in the current outbreak holidayed in Uganda for two and a half weeks before returning via Ethiopia.
But Uganda says she only passed through after visiting DR Congo. Where she contracted the virus remains unclear. https://t.co/6hYtGoqhxp
As a proud Ugandan, I woke up early today and participated in the mandatory cleaning exercise. I worked, and the attached photographs are available to discourage any parliamentary inquiry into that claim.
My motivation, however, went deeper than instructions from our leaders. Too many have squandered the moral authority required to inspire patriotism. When people are indecent in character, vulgar in conduct and selfish in their use of public power, their appeals for responsible citizenship become difficult to take seriously. A dirty conscience is a poor qualification for lecturing others about a clean neighbourhood.
But we have children at home. They need to grow up with a sense of civic responsibility, and they learn much of it by watching what we do. They need to see us care for the spaces we share, respect other people and contribute to something beyond our own comfort.
Our disappointment with leadership must not become the only lesson we teach them about Uganda. If they hear us condemn everything but never see us contribute anything, we risk raising spectators who are fluent in complaint and strangers to responsibility.
So I got up and worked. Cleaning our surroundings is a small act, but it carries a lesson worth teaching. This country belongs to us, and our obligations to one another cannot depend entirely on the quality of the people holding office.
We should demand better leadership while raising citizens capable of providing it. Otherwise, we will not have a nation if we do not parent for one.

Today I participated in the Board of peace meeting on the reconstruction of Gaza, where an impressive detailed plan was presented. I held a discussion with members of the board that include @jaredkushner@InstituteGC@SEPeaceMissions and @USAmbUN.

Thank you @KagutaMuseveni for your vision of accepting Uganda to be part of this historic endeavor and @mkainerugaba for your leadership in planning for our contingent.
