[Jacob Oboth Oboth - Parody @ObothOJacob]

For a boy who grew up in a rural village called Mwafu in Tororo District, who hustled to attain better education, and today stands before you as the Speaker of the 12th Parliament, it could only be by divine grace.

Parliament is a marketplace of ideas where we use persuasion and not antagonism. Let us work for the good of our motherland, Uganda.

Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba Accompanied by Wife Charlotte Kainerugaba Donate UGX 100 Million Birthday Run Cash to Support Child Cancer Foundation;

The 10-kilometer marathon, which took place on April 26, 2026, at the Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala, brought together thousands of participants under the theme "Run for Charity, Run for Hope." The event raised funds intended to support orphans, babies' homes, and vulnerable communities across Uganda.

Part of the proceeds from the recent Gen MK 52nd Birthday Run have been directed to support the Uganda Child Cancer Foundation (UCCF) @UCCF_Official following the charity event held last month.

As such, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba @mkainerugaba, in the company of his wife Charlotte, handed over a dummy cheque of 100 million Ugandan shillings to the institution at the Special Forces Command headquarters today.

Representatives from the foundation who received the cheque included Dr. Racheal Angom, Consultant Pediatric Oncologist and Head of the Division of Pediatric Oncology at the Uganda Cancer Institute; Moses Echodu, Executive Director of UCCF and a cancer survivor; Ezra Anecho, Deputy Executive Director; Priscilla Nambalirwa, Head of the Patient Support program; and Elizabeth Nakamya, Finance and Administration officer.

Gen. Kainerugaba expressed strong support for the foundation's mission to create a society free of childhood cancer through comprehensive patient support, awareness, advocacy, research, and mentorship. 
Holding the foundation's work in the highest regard, he extended the contribution with the sincere hope of easing the burden on young cancer patients and their families.
Looking ahead, the foundation leaders briefed the CDF about plans to build a hostel in close proximity to the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) to house children with cancer, sparing them from having to make long, exhausting journeys while undergoing treatment.

The UCCF was initiated to meet the social and economic needs of cancer patients, specifically children. The foundation helps cover critical expenses such as transport, feeding, and accommodation for young patients and their families during treatment. It operates largely through donations from well-wishers.
Founded in 2006, the foundation became fully active in 2021. Its major donors include St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the University of Cambridge. To raise more funds, the foundation started fundraising initiatives such as the Cancer Run and Guardian Angel.
