Ugandans don’t ask for miracles from the government. Among other things, we ask for 3 major services delivered exceptionally well: quality, affordable healthcare and education, and world-class infrastructure. Roads. Rail. Transport.
The private sector will take it from there, creating jobs and paying taxes.
Gen @mkainerugaba has now signaled that the UPDF will help transform Kampala’s roads into modern, world-class infrastructure — something the country has struggled with since independence.
If he pulls it off, promote the man to Field Marshal!

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu, following a scientific assessment by our CBRN team, I have written to Matongo Wood Works Company confirming that traditional wooden food containers made from omunyama (mahogany) and omusisa (albizia) are safe and durable. I have directed support for this initiative so that we free ourselves from the colonial habit of relying on fragile and unsafe ebyatika (the breakables).
Our indigenous knowledge systems served our people well for generations. It is time to consciously revive and promote them as part of building a self-reliant and modern Ugandan economy.
.@MishacKawamara: For us as NRM, Kyankwanzi works. Our people are taken there and taught about the history of this country. It's not only about the ideology of NRM.
