“President Museveni Directs RDCs to Arrest Corrupt Individuals” – Minister Babalanda https://t.co/MVxQevVKSg…

H.E. @KagutaMuseveni has directed Resident District Commissioners and Resident City Commissioners to cause the arrest of corrupt individuals where credible evidence is established and lawful grounds for arrest exist.

I wish to inform fellow Ugandans of this new directive which marks a decisive shift in Uganda's anti-corruption strategy.

For a long time, Uganda's fight against corruption has followed the same bureaucratic script. When corruption is uncovered, a report is written and forwarded to another office, which then starts its own process before any investigation begins.

As these bureaucratic wheels turn slowly, the suspect remains comfortably in office. The danger is clear: by the time decisive action is taken, evidence has been tampered with, records altered and witnesses intimidated.

This is partly why corruption cases drag on for years and why many never end in conviction.

H.E. the President breathed new life into the war against corruption through a missive backing the ongoing anti-corruption monitoring tours by Ministers of Local Government.

In that letter, H.E. explained why Uganda must move from a report-based approach to a more proactive, hands-on fight against graft. The intervention followed criticism against Hon. Balaam Barugahara and Hon. Justine Nameere, who were accused of "kutomera" for exposing corruption and causing impromptu arrests outside established bureaucratic procedures.

But as the architect and chief champion of Uganda's anti-corruption struggle, the President has a duty to periodically guide his team on the most effective way to defeat this persistent enemy.

His message was unequivocal: bureaucratic delays must not become a shield for corruption.

H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's resolve to fight corruption is not new. In the NRM Ten-Point Programme, elimination of corruption was Point Number Seven.

On assuming power, the NRM Government established and strengthened institutions to protect public resources - the Inspectorate of Government, the Office of the Auditor General, the RDC structure and recently, the State House Anti-Corruption Unit. These institutions have done commendable work. However, experience has shown that corrupt officials exploit loopholes and delays to frustrate accountability.

Recently, Deputy Inspector General of Government, Dr. Patricia Ochan Okiria, spoke about resistance faced by anti-corruption officers. Brig. Gen. Henry Isoke of the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and former IGG Beti Kamya have similarly spoken about cover-ups and pushback by powerful individuals.

The President is therefore responding to a real and persistent challenge: corruption must be confronted at the point of discovery, not months later when evidence is gone.

As Minister responsible for supervising RDCs and RCCs, this guidance is of great significance to me. During the ongoing anti-corruption drive, some members of the public have questioned whether RDCs are doing enough. I understand the concern. Yet some criticism has been unfair, given how their reporting system has traditionally worked.

RDCs are the President's representatives in the districts and frontline supervisors of Government programmes. They inspect projects and are often the first to encounter abuse of public resources in health centres, schools, markets and communities.

Traditionally, an RDC who uncovers corruption documents it and files a report through established channels. The matter then enters a long process of scrutiny. When the public sees no immediate action, the RDC is blamed for inaction, even when the case is already awaiting action by competent authorities.

The President's new directive is meant to close this gap. As Minister for the Presidency, I am therefore informing all RDCs and RCCs: your anti-corruption work must not end at reporting. @millybabalanda

Speaker @ObothOboth has praised outgoing Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, the @Archbp_COU for what he described as a fearless and consistent voice on integrity and accountability, saying it had come to define his leadership.
Speaking at a farewell service for @Archbp_COU at St. Peter's Cathedral, Tororo, Oboth said that Kaziimba's willingness to speak candidly on matters of character and accountability had gone beyond the pulpit to shape public leadership broadly.
Oboth added that Kaziimba used his tenure to push the Church's mission beyond the pulpit into education, health, livelihoods, social development and peacebuilding while consistently anchoring his message in personal and public integrity. #Uganda

I concluded the five-day East African Revival Ankole Convention today at St. John’s Cathedral, Ruharo, in Mbarara. I conveyed greetings from Maama Janet and thanked the Bishops of Ankole for remembering this important anniversary.

I thank the Lord because He has really favoured me. I first came to the church compound in 1949 as a small boy, and returned in 1953 and 1959. To come back after 77 years is a great blessing. Praise be to the Lord.

[Ahumuza Penkson @Penkson256]

Indeed, we bless the LORD for your return to Ruharo Hill after 77 years. May God continue to protect and richly bless you, together with Maama @JanetMuseveni. 🙏

SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT LAUDS RETIRING ARCHBISHOP KAZIIMBA AS A BEACON OF INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

TORORO, UGANDA — The Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oboth Oboth (@ObothOboth) has called on leaders across Uganda to emulate the moral clarity and unwavering integrity of the outgoing Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu.

Speaking during a farewell service held at St. Peter’s Cathedral in Tororo, Speaker Oboth highlighted the Archbishop's pivotal role in shaping public leadership beyond the pulpit, emphasizing that his tenure brought accountability back to the forefront of national service.

"For those entrusted with public responsibility, your firm moral voice has given us confidence to do what is right, even when it is difficult," Oboth stated during his address.

"You have reminded us that leadership is not simply about holding office but holding trust on behalf of the people and ultimately before God," he added.

Tracing Dr. Kaziimba’s trajectory from a humble Sunday school teacher and choir member to the Ninth Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Oboth noted that his journey, which the Archbishop famously described as moving "from grass to grace," serves as a testament to the power of dedicated service.

Beyond spiritual leadership, Kaziimba was commended for expanding the Church's reach into vital social development sectors, including education, healthcare, livelihood projects, and peacebuilding, while notably guiding the Church to clear an impressive Shs 60 billion debt for the Janani Luwum Church House.

Addressing the congregation, Archbishop Kaziimba delivered a stirring call for national unity, urging Ugandans to abandon hypocrisy and division.

Drawing a sharp analogy to football, he cautioned against internal strife, comparing political and ecclesiastical infighting to scoring an "own goal."

"We don't need to fight each other; the person you are hurting may help you someday, and therefore you should all know that we need each other," Dr. Kaziimba urged, citing persistence, fairness, and resilience as the key values needed to heal the nation.

The service drew prominent religious and political leaders from across the Bukedi subregion, including the Catholic Archbishop of Tororo Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev. Emmanuel Obbo.

The event marked the latest phase of Dr. Kaziimba's nationwide farewell tour as he prepares to officially hand over office, next year.

Remembering a Remarkable Life of Services .

At just three years old, His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV ascended the throne of Tooro in 1995. What followed was a remarkable journey of leadership, growth, and service.

Over the years, His Majesty became a strong advocate for youth empowerment, education, culture, unity, and development, making a meaningful impact on the people of Tooro and beyond.

Today, we remember a King who grew with his people, served with purpose, and leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations.

May His Majesty rest in eternal peace.
