Uganda Airlines is reporting a 62% increase in revenues over such a short time.

Their passenger numbers have increased to 1.7 million. I’m one of those passengers who went back to @UG_Airlines after they got rid of that Nepo Baby.

Nepotism is one of Uganda’s biggest enemies.

𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐈𝐍 𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀'𝐒 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀:

Today, the Minister Finance, Planning & Economic Development @henrymusasizi1 , received a briefing from the PPDA Board led by the PPDA Chairperson CPA Julius K. Ishungisa and Executive Director Canon Benson Turamye on the Authority’s mandate and the contribution of public procurement to Uganda’s economic transformation.

During the meeting, the Minister underscored the need for all Government entities to embrace the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system, emphasizing that efficient, transparent and accountable public procurement is critical to achieving Uganda’s Tenfold Growth Strategy and the vision of a $500 billion economy by 2040.

He also called for the expedited implementation of procurement reforms to streamline procurement processes, curb corruption and eliminate leakages.

The PPDA delegation highlighted the Authority’s ongoing efforts to strengthen public procurement through standard setting, compliance monitoring, capacity building and policy advisory. They noted that approximately 65% of Uganda’s national budget is spent through public procurement, making it a key driver of socio-economic development.

Canon Benson Turamye also highlighted key reforms undertaken by PPDA, including:
• The introduction of a standardized unit cost framework for road projects.
• Digital monitoring of 1,296 projects worth UGX 1.2 trillion through the Contracts Monitoring System (CMS).
• Guideline 1 of 2026 which the Authority issued on 24th June 2026, on Procurement of aggregated requirements where Entities are required to use the National Framework agreements to place call off orders for the Procurement requirements.
• Reservation Guideline 11 to increase participation of Youth, Women and Persons with Disabilities in Government procurement.
• The rollout of e-GP to over 100 additional Government entities during FY 2026/27.

The Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) has become the first among ten selected Government entities to achieve 𝐈𝐒𝐎/𝐈𝐄𝐂 𝟐𝟕𝟎𝟎𝟏:𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 under the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP).

The internationally recognized certification, sponsored by @NITAUganda1 through UDAP under the @MoICT_Ug , confirms that PPDA has established and implemented a robust Information Security Management System aligned with global best practices.

The guest of honor at the certification handover ceremony, minister of ICT and national guidance, @JustineLumumba highlighted the certification as a key contribution to Uganda’s Digital Transformation Roadmap and cybersecurity agenda.

PPDA Executive Director @PPDA_ED also described the achievement as a major milestone in strengthening information security and institutional governance. He noted that being the first certified entity among the selected Government institutions demonstrates PPDA’s commitment to protecting procurement-related information and supporting secure digital transformation.

The certification also supports Uganda’s wider economic transformation agenda under the Tenfold Growth Strategy, which seeks to expand the economy from nearly USD 50 billion in 2023 to USD 500 billion by 2040. Public procurement is central to this agenda because it is one of the main channels through which Government implements the national budget and delivers services. Secure, efficient, and trusted procurement systems are therefore essential for improving budget performance, reducing waste, speeding up project implementation, improving accountability, and increasing returns from public investment.

NITA-U Executive Director @NITAUgandaED commended PPDA for its leadership in digital transformation.

The achievement positions PPDA as a leader in information security within the public sector and reinforces its role in promoting transparency, accountability, and trust in Uganda’s procurement system.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

This guy faked being a pilot, doctor, and lawyer before he turned 21 and made millions before the FBI hired him.

Frank Abagnale grew up broke and angry after watching his parents marriage fall apart

At 16 he ran away from home with nothing but charm and a dangerous amount of confidence

He figured out early that people don’t question a uniform

So he called Pan Am, told them he was a pilot who lost his badge, and they just… mailed him one

For two years he flew free around the world, sitting in cockpits, getting hotel rooms paid for, eating for free.

He never actually flew a plane once
Then he got bored and became a doctor in Georgia

Then a lawyer in Louisiana

Then a professor

Every single role based on nothing but eye contact and a straight face

He cashed fake checks in 26 countries for years before anyone connected the dots

When they finally caught him he was 21 years old and facing prison time across multiple continents

But here’s the part nobody talks about

He wasn’t just a criminal, He was the most naturally gifted social engineer anyone had ever seen.

The FBI knew it too

So instead of burying him they handed him a job

He spent the next 35 years teaching the government every trick he used against the

The kid who ran away at 16 with nothing ended up in a boardroom consulting for the FBI

Trauma, survival instincts, and zero options will make a person find ways.

My friend flew back to the UK yesterday..
No airport photos. No farewell party. Just an evening flight out of Entebbe, touching down in the UK around 7am — quietly, like she was never really here.
A year ago, she went home buzzing with hope. London had ground her down. The cold, the loneliness, the bills that never stopped. She missed Kampala. The noise, the warmth, the feeling of belonging somewhere. I understood that feeling — I'm still here in the UK myself, and some days Uganda feels like the only answer.
But missing home and actually living in it are two different things.
The power cuts hit first. She'd be working and the lights would just vanish. Not for an hour — for two days. No warning, no reason given. Then Entebbe Road started stealing her mornings. Out of the house at 5am, sitting in traffic until 9, already tired before anything had even started.
Then a boda-boda knocked into her. Clearly his fault. But she looked like she had money, so the crowd had already made up their mind. The police weren't much better — they looked at her and saw an opportunity, not a victim. Every conversation had an invisible price attached to it... nobody looked at what actually happened — they just looked at her and saw a transaction. Every conversation came with a price tag.
She tried to start something small in Kikuubo. People took advantage. Faces she trusted disappeared with her money. The jobs she interviewed for offered salaries that couldn't cover her basics — like her years of experience abroad counted for nothing.
Then came the family pressure. The same people who celebrated her return started knocking every day. And when the money wasn't there, the comments started:
"So UK didn't work out?" UK yakulema ehhhh
"You came back for this?"
That hit differently. Because in London, yes — she was lonely. I know that loneliness too. But it's a straightforward loneliness. In Kampala she was surrounded by people and somehow felt more alone, because most of them only saw what she could give them.
So she left. No big goodbye. Just packed her bags and got on that evening flight. Back to the cold, back to the struggle — but at least it's a struggle with some order to it. At least you know where you stand.
I'm not saying this to attack Uganda. I say it as someone who is also sitting in the UK, also missing home, also wondering if the grass is actually greener or if I'm just tired of winter.
Most of us who leave don't stop loving home. We just get honest about what home is asking us to carry.
So before you judge someone for going back — or for never leaving — just know the decision is never simple.
