This afternoon, we are in Kibuli–Kisasizi Zone engaging with the community on the safe use of electricity and sharing practical guidance on preventing electrical accidents caused by illegal connections, both on the network and in homes.

In AI governance, accountability ultimately rests with the human author. You cannot separate the human-in-the-loop from the output they produce. When collaborating with AI, it is essential to proofread, fact-check, & verify the authenticity of every document before its published.
Tangled Echoes of Ugandan Medical Heroes and stars.
There are stories that haunt a nation, and others that haunt the very halls we grew up in - whispered through corridors of Mulago, carried in the grief of colleagues, families, and old boys who remember.
The passing of Dr. Fred Norman Bagenda has reopened an old wound - one layered with tragedy, service, and the cruel irony of history repeating itself. Just today Dr. John Spire Kiggundu was laid to rest, and we now mourn Fred - a gifted doctor, a strong defender on the pitch, and a proud @SmackObs and @budonian . His loss reminds some of us of darker times - the murder of his father, Dr. Mitchell Bagenda, in 1979, alongside Dr. Stephen Obace, Dr. Joseph Kamulegeya, and Dr. Jack Barlow. That campaign of assassinations during Binaisa’s brief presidency was not just about doctors - it was a message of fear, a tearing apart of Uganda’s professional soul.
Fred, like his father, chose the path of service. And like his late brother, Elliot Bagenda - the high-flying Badu of Sadoline Power and Lumumba Hall - he brought joy and strength to those around him, in sports, in laughter, in commitment. That both brothers now rest, gone too soon, is a heartbreak words can barely hold.
These are not just names - they are webs of friendship, memory, purpose. And yet, how fragile it all is. The Bagenda family has given Uganda athletes, healers, patriots - and in return, we have given them grief. But we remember. We honour. And we speak their names, not in fear, but in gratitude.
May their legacies remain louder than their loss. #Uganda

In partnership with @MuyengaBreeze and @Ujamaafdn we have launched the first cohort of the KMB leadership lab.
A program led by our PLD (Proffesional and leadership Development Director) @PrincessPrude
We have implemented electricity safety sensitization swings and talking compounds in several schools around Kampala to sensitize children about the importance of upholding electricity safety at home and at school.

Switching to a greener approach is crucial in the fight against climate change, and the U-green initiative is leading the way, offering a renewed beginning for our planet. Trees have always been essential for life, providing food, medicine, and oxygen. However, in today's world, their value has increased as more benefits are being discovered to satisfy the needs created by our modern lifestyles, leading to deforestation and the destruction of vegetation.

"In the fight against cyber threats, we have to recognise the role that people play in aiding it. Most of the time, we invest a lot in hack-proof systems and forget to invest in the people who use them. Humans will always be the weakest link in the fight against cybercrime. If we invest and train them then we will have people who are empowered enough to fight cybercrime" ~ @CyrusBarigye, Director ICT Systems & Security, @Thefiau #CyberSecurity #TwitterSpace #HereForGood
UETCL informs its stakeholders and the general public that 5 transmission towers on the Karuma-Kawanda 400kV transmission line were vandalized and collapsed. Please report vandals to the nearest police station and let's work together to fight this vice.
Using recycled glass to make new glass requires 40% less energy than making it from all new materials. It saves energy because crushed glass melts at a lower temp than the raw materials.
We are glad to celebrate with our Muslim friends as we draw closer to the end of #Ramadan.
