With deep honor and profound gratitude, I thank HE @KagutaMuseveni for entrusting me with the opportunity to serve Uganda as the Minister of State for Youth and Children’s Affairs.
I pledge full commitment to help shape our young people for the future we all envision.

Habibi, if I were in charge of govt, I’d disband the vanity fair called @KiiraMotors, get in touch with the company producing these simple tractors from China, and redirect the funds from Kiira EV, and all funds from PDM into mass-producing these. Then sell them to Ugandan farmers at a very affordable price - cheaper than a boda - to make them available, & affordable to as many farmers as possible.

For an agricultural nation already earning billions of dollars from coffee exports, these things, in hands of hundreds of tens or hundreds of thousands of our farmers would see our exports skyrocket within a decade. If done well, Ugandans would make a lot of money in exports, and many more people would see reason to get into Agriculture - where we have a competitive advantage in the region.

A whole department at @Makerere’s CEDAT would be dedicated to studying them. Every malfunction would be studied for months to improve them, and we’d invest in making their production ever cheaper. We’d even study different agricultural products and how to make them best adapted to their production. Rice, Matooke, cotton, sugar cane etc. We’d also improve them based on terrain, one model would be great for the hills of Kapchorwa, another for the dry areas of Karamoja, another for the cold hills of Kabale. With time, we’d be exporting these to Kenya, Tanzania, DRC etc and earning extra billions in Forex in addition to agricultural exports.

In twenty or so years, we’d have the money, expertise, and technical knowledge to make bigger tractors, even the kind adapted for making our roads, and building serious projects in Uganda. Who knows, maybe we can then get to a point of making electric buses from
Scratch in 50 years when we can ably compete with Isuzu, Scania, and others. After all, every single car company started very small - something Kiira EV wants us to believe it will not do, then compete even when almost all Auditor General reports show it is nothing but a thorn on the side of taxpayers. A big, white elephant.

Achero Florence, an enrolled midwife at the Karin Health Centre III in Kitgum, recalls the challenges the health centre previously faced in accessing hot water for patient care.

Through the RBF programme, a solar water heating system was installed at the facility.

The programme’s approach supports energy service companies to deliver clean energy technologies to institutions such as health centres.

The system now provides reliable hot water for maternal care and other medical services, improving hygiene standards and patient comfort.

Florence appreciates the role played by UECCC in supporting the installation, noting that the intervention has strengthened healthcare service delivery for the community.

Last week, the UECCC Managing Director @rbaguma608 met with Dr. Lisa Leinert from @vitol_oil and the Managing Director @VivoEnergyUg Ms. Joanita Mukasa. Vivo Energy has already delivered nearly 40% of Uganda’s clean cooking target under Electricity Access Scaleup Project (EASP).
Discussions focused on partnering for carbon credits and tackling illegal LPG cylinder refillers to accelerate access to clean and safe cooking solutions.
@vitol_oil , through @VivoEnergyUg is investing heavily in Uganda’s LPG distribution as part of a broader clean cooking initiative across Africa, while also linking these efforts to carbon credit projects that incentivize reduced reliance on biomass fuels.

Joyce Ocen Labong, Director of Ajora Mixed Farm in Gulu City, has spent years building a farm that supports both agricultural production and learning for students interested in farming.

However, like many farmers, she previously relied heavily on rainfall to sustain her crops.

Through the RBF programme implemented by @UECCC1, Joyce accessed an irrigation system 60% discounted that enables her to water crops throughout the year.

The programme works by providing performance-based subsidies to energy service companies, reducing the retail cost of clean energy technologies for end users.

With reliable irrigation, Joyce is now able to maintain production even during dry seasons, strengthening both her farm operations and the opportunities she provides for agricultural learning.

She appreciates the role played by UECCC in expanding access to productive use of energy technologies that support farmers and improve agricultural resilience.

For Angella Oloya, a horticulture farmer in Gulu, one of her biggest challenges was access to water for irrigation. She often had to fetch water from distant streams or hire transport to bring it to her farm, making it difficult to maintain consistent production.

Through the Results-Based Financing (RBF) programme, Angella was able to acquire an irrigation pump from @TulimaSolarUg at a 60% reduced subsidized cost.

Today, Angella can irrigate her crops throughout the year, ensuring steady production and reliable income from her farm.

She expresses her appreciation to UECCC, whose intervention through the RBF programme is helping farmers access affordable energy solutions that improve productivity and strengthen rural livelihoods.

For Fuga Francis in Soroti City, reliance on charcoal and firewood previously meant longer cooking times and a kitchen environment filled with smoke.

By adopting a biofuel eco-stove supported through the RBF’s price subsidy mechanism, Francis now enjoys a more efficient and healthier cooking experience. Meals are prepared faster and the kitchen environment is much cleaner.

Francis appreciates the support provided through the programme and thanks UECCC for promoting clean and sustainable energy solutions for households.

[Uganda Energy Credit Capitalisation Company @UECCC1]

The Results-Based Financing (RBF) program, implemented by UECCC under the Electricity Access Scale-up Project, is significantly expanding access to clean energy solutions across Uganda.

In this video, MD Roy Nyamutale Baguma @rbaguma608, provides a comprehensive overview of how the initiative is breaking down financial barriers to ensure Ugandans can access affordable, modern energy.

Through this program, households, farmers, and institutions are acquiring life-changing technologies including solar lighting systems, solar irrigation pumps and clean cooking solutions at significantly reduced costs.

Listen as both the MD and the beneficiaries share how these sustainable energy partnerships are driving productivity and improving the quality of life for communities nationwide.

[Dr. Daniel Masaba @MasabaDaniel]

In this life, you will definitely suffer. Just choose the things worth suffering for and do those.

▪︎ You'll suffer from lack when poor and stress when rich.
▪︎ You suffer from responsibility with kids and suffer from boredom and emptiness without kids.
▪︎ You will suffer from commitment when married and loneliness when single.
▪︎ You'll suffer from brokenness with a small business and suffer from management stress with a big business.

YOU WILL DEFINITELY SUFFER.
So how about you skip trying to avoid suffering, and actually just choose what's suffering for.
Stick to it, suffer through it, and enjoy the fruits of it. You'll be glad you suffered for it.

The team also visited the proposed powerhouse area in Hoimo village after which they interacted with the local leaders and the community. They heard first hand how the project is already transforming lives through the provision of odd jobs for the residents, and the new access road that has made their village more accessible.

For me in a place like lugogo bypass, of course 70 is a lot but 30km/hr, on a dual courage like that would make no sense, only pile up vehicles in thr CBD

MD @rbaguma608 🎤UECCC is the implementing Agency of the Financial Intermediation Component which targets to scale up the acquisition of clean energy technologies. In this regard, we are cognisant that the scaling up of uptake will require us to put in place mitigation measures to ensure that we mitigate the adverse effects or negative impacts that may result due to the generated E- Waste.
