@Thomas_Tayebwa Honorable deputy Speaker the accidents have become to much lately, we are struggling to understand why? Is it the drivers? Is it the buses mechanical condition? or what exactly? We need help.
May God rest the departed souls in eternal peace.
What @BalaamBarugahar is doing should have been done by RDCs,DPCs,DISOs But many are in the looting spree & used to @KagutaMuseveni empty threats .I would rather the next set of RDCs are appointed by @mkainerugaba and preferably from @MODVA_UPDF soldiers are more disciplined
There are moments that remind you why you do what you do. The two days of our July Intake Orientation, on July 15 and 16, have been exactly that: inspiring, energising, and filled with hope.
Seeing nearly 5,000 students choose @VUKampala is both humbling and inspiring because we know that behind every admission is a dream, a family's trust, and a student ready to shape their future.
To every parent, guardian, and student who has placed their trust in us, thank you. To Ugandans, our East African neighbours, the international community, and everyone who has chosen Victoria University, we are deeply grateful.
Whether you are with us on campus or learning with us digitally, welcome to a community that believes in future-proof education and is committed to helping every student become the best version of themselves.
To everyone who joined us for orientation, thank you for making the start of this journey so memorable.
The journey has only just begun, and we are grateful to be part of it. We cannot wait to see you grow, challenge yourselves, and become the people you aspire to be.

Tomorrow morning, the last Ebola patient will be discharged from the isolation unit at Mulago Hospital.
When that happens, Uganda starts counting down.
If 42 days pass without a single new case, WHO guidelines stipulate that we will be declared Ebola free.
I have said it before.
Epidemics come to die in Uganda.
We have the expertise.
We have the most public health aware citizens in the world.
Living in the UAE π¦πͺ has taught me that progress of a nation is deeply anchored on the vision of its leaders. Every nation is the way it is because of its leaders.
Today, while inspecting a bridge project in Bulambuli Town Council under our national βExpose the Corrupt in Local Governmentβ campaign, we uncovered serious irregularities.
The bridge that was constructed is only about half the size of what was specified in the approved Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Even more disturbing, the contractor used black soil as the foundation and final connecting layer instead of the required hardcore and swamp reinforcement materials, in complete disregard of the approved engineering specifications.
These actions have caused Government an estimated loss of UGX 500 million and represent a blatant misuse of public funds.
The Bulambuli Town Council Engineer and the Town Clerk have fled and are currently on the run. They will be apprehended and held accountable, together with anyone else found to have participated in this fraud.
This is exactly why we launched the βExpose the Corrupt in Local Governmentβ campaign. Those who steal from the people and compromise public infrastructure will face the full force of the law. Every shilling of taxpayersβ money must work for Ugandans.
@mukulaa Hon General Moses Ali is a good man, may God restore his health. I lived in Adjumani many years ago and I know him as a generous man. Thank you for standing with the family.
My Sons, get yourself a wife and marry before 35. Your children shall need a father not a grand father. Donβt borrow time that you donβt have

In Memory of Dr. Mathew Lukwiya
In his final hours, he spoke to Sister Apio Anyai Angioletta, the paediatric nurse who had known him for years. She would later remember his exact words.
"Sister, things are worsening. I have tried to fight. The battle is almost over. Now I am seeing that I am also going. The time has come for me to go. That I know. I am going. But if I go, I will be at the doorway. Nobody is going to die now. I will tell my God that enough is enough."
Then he began to sing a hymn about war. Everyone in the room broke down. Sister Apio replied, "No, doctor, it will not be like that." But it was. On December 4th his breathing briefly stabilised. Later that evening his lungs began to haemorrhage. He died at 1:20am on December 5th, 2000.
He was buried at 4pm the same day. The coffin was sprayed with Jik bleach as it was lowered. Margaret asked if she could see him one last time and was refused. The body was considered too infectious.
He was placed in a grave he had chosen himself while he was dying, at the Grotto inside the hospital grounds, beside Dr. Lucille Teasdale and later Piero Corti. Teasdale had died in 1996 of AIDS, contracted while operating on an HIV-positive patient.
The student was buried beside his mentors.
And then something extraordinary happened. After Lukwiya's death, every remaining Ebola patient at Lacor survived. Not another single person died at the hospital. Sister Apio remembered the promise he had made on his deathbed: "I will tell my God that enough is enough." It is the kind of detail you would not believe if you read it in a novel.
By the time the WHO declared Uganda Ebola-free on February 6th, 2001, 425 confirmed and probable cases had been recorded, and 224 Ugandans had died, including thirteen health workers from Lacor alone.
The survival rate during the outbreak was nearly 50%, compared to as low as 10% in previous African outbreaks, largely because of the systems Lukwiya had built before anyone else even knew what was happening.
This is what the mainstream story leaves out. The intern who refused a teaching job in England. The doctor who walked into the bush instead of the nuns. The administrator who turned the hospital into a shelter for nine thousand people, most of them children, every night.
The Acholi son of a smuggler who topped his country in school, won the John Hay Prize at Liverpool, and still chose Gulu over everything else. By the time he made that final speech to his nurses, the heroism was already the entire shape of his life. The Ebola work only made it public.
Happy Heroes Day, Dr Matthew and all healthcare workers who sacrifice more than they should have to! #HeroesDay

My silent hero. He, without hesitation, offered me a scholarship for a Masters degree at @VUKampala, an offer I innocently trashed immediately after my Bachelors.
Very approachable, very innovative, family gentleman. When controversy errupeted over his appointment as minister, in my head, I was like...."You deserve better, Dr. Your current placing at the university is more prestigious than those political positions, which can easily tarnish your long-earned reputation." May God decide what's best for you, my Hero.
Long live.
