President @KagutaMuseveni today hosted Mr. Gilbert Weill, a survivor of the 1976 Entebbe Airport hijacking, together with his family and friends at State House, Entebbe. Nearly 50 years after the ordeal, the visit included a tour of the old airport terminal and reflections on the legacy of the Entebbe incident, Uganda's transformation over the years, and opportunities for stronger cooperation between Uganda, Israel and Europe.

Uganda is going digital, and our cash rules are keeping pace.
From 1 January 2027, the Bank of Uganda is introducing limits on over-the-counter cash withdrawals at the institutions we supervise:
Individuals — UGX 50 million a day / 250 million a week
Corporates — UGX 500 million a day / 2.5 billion a week
This applies to cash over the counter only. Digital channels — RTGS, EFTs, and bank-to-wallet mobile money — stay fully open, and exceptions can be requested for sectors that still rely on cash.

Yesterday I visited Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, where a separate unit has been prepared to treat #Ebola patients. I'm glad for the opportunity to meet with health workers in charge and thank them for their dedication. I am very happy with all the work invested in preparedness and readiness that I have witnessed.
I commend the Government of #Uganda for the work being done to control Ebola and provide care for those affected. Uganda’s leadership has been central to the response, and @WHO remains committed to supporting national efforts to stop transmission, save lives and protect communities.
Mwebale nnyo.
