I was glad to launch the 10th Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo at Munyonyo today. Uganda remains one of the most unique tourism destinations because of our favourable climate, rich culture, peace and natural beauty.

Regarding Ebola, there is no cause for alarm. We are applying targeted measures and continuing to work scientifically to keep people safe while keeping our economy open.

As our economy grows towards upper-middle-income status, we shall also improve the tourism experience, including friendlier visa arrangements to attract more visitors. I therefore welcome the world to come and explore Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.

I witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding and operational licence agreement between the Uganda Communications Commission and Starlink, marking an important step towards the commencement of their operations in Uganda.

Our interest is security, revenue assurance, and proper accountability within the telecommunications sector so that we know who is operating and who the customers are. I am pleased that Starlink has agreed to comply with Uganda’s laws and regulatory requirements as it prepares to begin service delivery in the country. I wish them good luck.

The Office of the National Chairman (ONC), under the leadership of the Senior Presidential Advisor and Bazzukulu Coordinator Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye has today launched preparations for #MuseveniSwearsIn2026.
Speaking during the launch at the office headquarters in Kyambogo, Hajjat Namyalo expressed gratitude to Ugandans especially the Bazzukulu for their overwhelming support in the recently concluded presidential elections, reflecting continued confidence in the country’s leadership and direction.

In a special way, I want to thank the Bazzukulu, and all citizens across the nation for their trust in the President and Jajja wa Bazzukulu and for electing National Resistance Movement leaders at all levels.This new term, we have ne demands that we would like our President to fulfil." Hajjat Namyalo said.

She emphasized that the ONC played a key role in mobilizing support and encouraging the President to contest, especially at a time when some voices opposed his candidacy.

"At a time when some sought to push him off the ballot, we stood firm as Bazzukulu and called upon Jjaja to lead and he listened,” she noted, adding that their steadfast backing proved decisive.

As preparations for the ceremony gain momentum, Hajjat Namyalo used the occasion to call upon all Ugandans to turn up in large numbers and witness the historic swearing-in event.

She further reaffirmed the Office of the National Chairman’s commitment to mobilizing citizens, supporting government programs, and advancing Uganda’s journey toward sustained economic growth, stability, and transformation.

Uganda is now set to usher in a new presidential term on 12th May 2026, with a historic swearing-in ceremony expected to attract millions of viewers both locally and internationally.

The 2026–2031 term is described as a critical phase focused on consolidating national achievements, accelerating the Fourth National Development Plan, expanding the Parish Development Model, and advancing socio-economic transformation.
