“Due to the request from Ministers who are attending a retreat in Kyankwanzi, the PLU handover Ceremony of General Secretary from Hon @DaudiKabanda to Hon @HonTwallafadil has been postponed to 24th June. Ministers are willing attend in person,” Chairman Nuwagira Micheal Kaguta.
I implored people to embrace Govt programs especially PDM and fight poverty at household levels. I was impressed by the way people of Kibaare are vigilant with Govt land. They reported people who are illegally trying to use government land.
Today, I represented the Office of the President Rwampara district at the commissioning of Kibare Health Center III in Ndeija. I was accompanied by CAO, LCv C/M and other district technical and political leaders. This project costed Govt 900M. People are thankful to HE Museveni.
I implored people to use PDM and fight poverty at household levels. “Roads are not to sleep on them but rather creating access for goods to markets,” I noted. I informed them that HE @KagutaMuseveni has again put 100M in PDM at every parish & 100B in Emyooga SAACOs in FY2026/27.
Yesterday, together with area MP Hon @KankundaAmos1, LCv C/M & CAO, I represented Office of the President Rwampara District at the launch of a 7Km road from Bujaga to Nsuro. This road will cost Government 100M. I alerted the Engineers to know that we are in Kisanja akuna Ufisadi
As we implement the Financial Year 2026/27 Budget, we must remain focused on Uganda’s strategic goal of socio-economic transformation. Our economy is growing at 6.4% and is projected to expand to 10.2% next year, driven in part by petroleum. By fully utilizing our vast potential, taking advantage of the African market, and ensuring that every household joins the money economy, we shall create prosperity for all Ugandans.
He was born not to be famous but to be great!. That’s why his greatness is seen in the patriotic sacrifices he makes everyday for the good of his country! Long live sir, Gen @mkainerugaba.
Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Tomorrow is Heroes Day. I will address the country live on TV, radio and social media at 10:00am.
Please tune in as we commemorate our heroes and discuss matters concerning our country.
Today, we gathered at State Lodge Nakasero to honour men & women whose courage, sacrifice, and selflessness have shaped the Uganda we proudly call home.
Heroes' Day reminds us that our Nation's progress was never handed to us on a silver platter; it was earned through sacrifice.
We pay special tribute to the heroes of the NRM liberation struggle who, under the visionary leadership of Gen. Rtd. Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni rescued Uganda from political turmoil, economic collapse, and insecurity. Through their dedication and His Excellency's steadfast leadership, Uganda has risen from the challenges of 1986 into a nation of peace, stability, and opportunity. From a modest colonial economy, Uganda today boasts a thriving and expanding economy that is recognized among the fastest-growing in the world.
The Education sector has expanded significantly through the UPE & USE programs, providing millions of Ugandans with access to education. Likewise, investments in the health sector have increased the number of healthcare facilities, improved life expectancy, and enhanced the quality lives of our people.
The Uganda People's Defence Forces have evolved from a liberation force into a professional army that not only safeguards our sovereignty but also contributes to peace and stability across the region and the continent.
As we mark these achievements, we also honour contemporary heroes whose acts of courage continue to inspire us. Special recognition goes to our Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, whose contributions in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and elsewhere have helped keep Uganda secure while upholding the professionalism and discipline of our gallant armed forces.
As the country confronts the Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak, we remember Dr. Matthew Lukwiya, who sacrificed his life while fighting Uganda's first Ebola outbreak. Though he lost his life, his legacy continues to guide our public health responses and has greatly contributed to Uganda's ability to contain and manage such epidemics.
I express appreciation to H.E. the President for his leadership in combating epidemics, including Ebola and COVID-19—efforts that earned him international recognition in Toronto, Canada.
We thank God for blessing our nation with a leader whose wisdom, patriotism, and decisive leadership have protected countless lives during some of the most challenging public health crises of our time.
On this Day, we also pay tribute to our civilian heroes, notably Philly Bongole Lutaaya and Yvonne Namaganda. Their courage in fighting HIV/AIDS stigma and saving lives during the Buddo School tragedy reminds us that heroism is not confined to the battlefield.
This year's theme, "Protecting the Gains as We Make a Qualitative Leap into High Middle-Income Status," With the continued implementation of the Parish Development Model, growing exports, tourism, industrialisation, and the anticipated benefits of the oil and gas sector, Uganda remains firmly on course towards achieving upper middle-income status.
Realising this vision will require the commitment, discipline, and active participation of every citizen.
We are fortunate that our chief hero and champion of wealth creation, H.E. President Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni, has consistently led the way through numerous wealth-creation initiatives since 1986. From the early promotion of commercial agriculture to more recent programmes such as Emyooga, the PDM, and the Presidential Industrial Hubs, the President has continuously encouraged Ugandans to move from subsistence to the money economy.
The responsibility now rests upon all of us to emulate the spirit of our heroes by placing national interest above personal gain. Let us choose service over self-interest, integrity over corruption, productivity over negativity, and patriotism over complacency. We must reject corruption, waste, and dependency while embracing wealth creation, accountability, innovation, and hard work.
Heroes Day is a reflection of the great sacrifice patriotic men and women made to restore Uganda!. As a young generation, we have a duty to consolidate the peace and stability, our great revolutionaries fought for!. Gen MK is our hope! Happy Heroes Day.
Today, I was profoundly humbled to join the colleague Ministers at State House Entebbe to take both the Oath of Allegiance and as Minister In-Charge of the Presidency in the new cabinet.
I extend my deepest gratitude to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni for the trust and confidence bestowed upon me through my appointment as Minister in-charge of the Presidency for the 2nd term in office.
Having taken Oaths today, I renew my pledge of loyalty to H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda, to the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, and to all Ugandans. I commit to execute my duties with diligence, discretion, and unwavering support to the leadership of our country as we drive the socio-economic transformation of our country following the NRM manifesto 2026-2031 to attain the higher middle-income status.
I do so fully consciously understand the weight of this responsibility and the sacred duty to serve the people of Uganda equitably with integrity, loyalty, and dedication.
To the Parliament of Uganda and the Appointments Committee, thank you for your thorough vetting and approval. Your confidence strengthens my resolve to uphold the Constitution and advance the vision of a secure, prosperous, and transformed Uganda.
To my people of Budiope West Constituency, my family, mentors, colleagues, and all other Ugandans who have supported me throughout this journey – your prayers and encouragement have brought me to this moment. I pledge never to let you down.
The Office of the President is the nerve centre of government. Under the guidance of H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda, I commit to:
1. Service above self – ensuring efficient coordination of government service delivery through NRM manifesto monitoring and implementation.
2. Wealth creation mobilisation – supporting the President’s directive to move every household into the money economy.
3. Zero tolerance to corruption – safeguarding public resources and public trust.
I take this office as a servant, not a master. May God guide me to discharge my duties faithfully, and may He continue to bless Uganda.
For God and My Country!
This afternoon, I officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony for Kidepo International Airport in Karenga District.
I reminded the wananchi that Karamoja has come a long way from the days of insecurity, cattle rustling and lawlessness. The restoration of peace has created the conditions for the Karamoja region to develop.
The airport will improve access to Kidepo Valley National Park, boost tourism, attract investors, create jobs for our young people and expand markets for local products. Already, more than 1,600 Ugandans are employed on the project.
I thank our partners from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates for recognizing the immense opportunities that exist in Uganda and Africa.
