What @BalaamBarugahar is doing should have been done by RDCs,DPCs,DISOs But many are in the looting spree & used to @KagutaMuseveni empty threats .I would rather the next set of RDCs are appointed by @mkainerugaba and preferably from @MODVA_UPDF soldiers are more disciplined
Killed in Mob Attack at DTB Bank Ntinda ( @dtb_uganda )
It’s alleged that, this young man, lost his life on Monday following a mob attack at DTB Bank in Ntinda, according to accounts from witnesses, he had gone to the bank to withdraw money, after completing the transaction, a dispute reportedly arose when the bank manager accused him of having previously obtained money from him through fraud some months back & instructed security guards to stop him from moving out
as he attempted to leave the bank premises, a confrontation came up, boda boda riders in the area allegedly mistook the situation for maybe bank gun point robbers & descended on him, subjecting him to a severe beating
It’s said that, customers who were present at the bank intervened & rescued him from the mob before taking him back into the bank, @PoliceUg were later called to the scene but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries before he reached police station for statement
no one deserves to lose their life at the hands of a mob, allegations should be investigated by the police & courts, not decided through violence.
N.B I deleted this post yesterday, after DTB bank head office contacted me to pull it down, they assured me to issue out official statement on wat happened today morning, which they didn’t full fill, thus posting it again today evening ( I pledged to always speak for ordinary people (Abapakasi)

I am in #Uganda, where the government has mounted a prompt and capable response to the outbreak of #Ebola.
Screening at the borders helped detect cases arriving from neighbouring #DRC, and the country’s surveillance, testing and case management systems are doing steady work. Of the 19 confirmed cases so far, 14 were among people who entered from DRC and five are Ugandan nationals. Sadly, two people from DRC have died, and our thoughts are with their families.
@WHO is supporting Uganda, alongside @AfricaCDC and partners across the region, as the country leads this response.
With continued collaboration, I am confident this outbreak can be brought under control.
@newvisionwire@GovUganda@rggoobi Let them first do away with lead cars, I don't think some ministers need them, some of them need them to beat jam fast , I suggest standby jeeps with police to be called as lead cars in case Minister is late to an important engagement
@KomugishaPeace That money is enough for that house. I don’t think she was scammed, though I would like to see the finishing inside the house first. She can also do a personal breakdown of the BOQ to determine the actual cost, while not forgetting factors such as transportation, water on site
Your Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,
As you prepare to take the oath once again on the 12th of May 2026, I extend to you my warm congratulations and sincere best wishes.
For me, this occasion is deeply personal and reflective.
I have had the privilege of knowing you from our younger days and of walking with you through different chapters of Uganda’s journey, from the early days of UPM, through the formative years of NRM, in Parliament, and later in the Constituent Assembly that gave Uganda the 1995 Constitution.
With time, history becomes memory, and memory teaches humility.
Over the years, I have watched you engage presidents and peasants, diplomats and ordinary wananchi with the same simplicity and ease. One of your most remarkable qualities has been your ability to remain approachable, patient, forgiving, and attentive to people despite the enormous weight of office and responsibility.
Many leaders become distant because of power.
You somehow remained connected to people. There are certain moments that remain deeply engraved in memory because they reveal the true character of a person beyond public office and politics.
I remember one particular evening when you returned from Cairo late at night. Many people would naturally have gone home to rest after such a long journey. Instead, you drove straight to Ntinda to visit an elderly lady in her nineties who was bedridden and nearing the end of her life. You sat with her in her home for several hours, speaking gently, listening patiently, comforting her and her family before she eventually passed on not long thereafter. That moment stayed with me.
I remember another occasion when I accompanied you to Luwero to visit an elderly woman whose family you had known during the difficult years of the war. Her small home was visibly worn by time. I still remember looking up and seeing holes in the old rusted iron sheets above us as rain clouds gathered in the distance. She offered us a weak wooden bench to sit on as you spoke with her at length, asking about her health, her children, her sisters, relatives, and even the resting place of her late husband. It was not a political visit. It was human.
You later promised to build her a better home and, true to your word, you fulfilled that promise.
I must confess that the entire scene moved me deeply and remains difficult to forget even today. Over the years, I have witnessed many similar moments that rarely reach newspapers or public platforms, moments that quietly reveal your compassion, humility, loyalty, memory, and genuine concern for ordinary people (obuntu).
You have kept old friendships, remembered old comrades, respected culture and tradition, and continued to listen even to those who disagree with you. I know very few leaders who can move comfortably from a village discussion to a high level diplomatic meeting without changing who they are.
Politics often rewards noise.
History rewards endurance (okugumisiriza).
Uganda’s journey has not been perfect, because no nation’s journey ever is. Yet few can deny that under your leadership Uganda has witnessed remarkable transformation in peace, infrastructure, education, regional influence, private sector growth, national confidence and dignity .
Entire generations have grown up knowing only a stable Uganda, connected to the region and increasingly engaged with the world. That, whatever one’s political views may be, is part of your contribution to history.
