In Kasese, it is time to lift the veil on the presumption that it was the best-performing district under the PDM. I have received information that people were charged UGX 20,000 just to register for the programme, and they are now being asked for a further UGX 100,000 in order to be awarded the funds. Most of these complaints are coming from Nyamwamba Division in Kasese Municipality.

CONGO

Congo clearly played us, they are shining on world stage, you might stop watching premier league instead concentrate on Congo league.

We thought we were bedfellows in the Ebola stories. Countries have closed us out of business for nothing!

Rwenzori Marathon Transportation Update

This morning, I had an in-depth discussion with @wekesa_amos regarding transportation arrangements for teams coming for the Rwenzori Marathon (@RwenzoriMarathn )

Many people think transportation logistics are simple, but without early preparation, it can easily become a nightmare.

I am happy to share that we have already secured hundreds of small vehicles to facilitate movement during the marathon period. Today, we also finalized arrangements for buses and chartered flights that will be flying participants and visitors directly to Kasese.

We are already receiving numerous bookings, especially from Kenya and several other countries, which is a clear indication of the growing international appeal of the Rwenzori Marathon.

LORD MAYOR KAMPALA

Eng Balimwezo Ronald Nsubuga

Next week, I meet up with the current mayor of Kampala and our discussions will focus on 4 major reasons why Cities exist and those are.

Will be my first time to meet him!

1- Search for economic opportunities and therefore, cities must first focus on how the city economy thrives.

The Bible says pray for the city in which you live, when it prospers, you also prosper and yes, if the city doesn’t prosper, you don’t prosper.

2- search for good education, cities generally speaking host the best educational institutions because when its economy improves, the need for better education grows.

3- Good health, because of prosperity of the city obviously the city hosts the best health facilities. Poor environment don’t host good health facilities.

Good health depends on 3 pillars, good housing, good education and good nutrition and all depend on a good economy. Reason no poor is amongst the top 20 health nations.

4- Security, cities with great wealth intend to have better secure environments generally speaking. Wealth nations tend to invest better for their security than the poor ones.

I will invite the Lord Mayor to kasese and see how RWENZORI MARATHON is slowly transforming Kasese and see first hand what numbers of spenders mean for an economy.

The owner of TORONTO MARATHON has for example invited me for Toronto marathon and is going to organize a diner where the mayor of Toronto will be and would be happy to go with our mayor and sees how mayors position cities.

We shall discuss a marketing plan for Kampala city, would nice to hear Kenyans, Tanzanians, South Africans, Nigerians etc saying, we shall visit Kampala and spend our money there.

Places like Namungogo shouldn’t be places where activities happen only in the month of June. It should be attracting spenders throughout the year and we shall discuss how that works.

THIS THINKING SHOULD APPLY TO EVERY MAYOR AROUND THE COUNTRY AND YOU VOTERS MUST ENGAGE THEM.

1. Destination Promotion

Every community must compete with every other community for its share of the
world’s attention, customers, talent, and investment.

It must compete for its
share of the world’s businesses and its share of available capital and
investment.

Those communities that fail to compete will lose ground and be left
behind. To compete, people need to be aware of a community, have a positive
impression, and want to visit to experience the community and meet its people.

This is achieved through clearly developing, articulating, and managing the
community’s brand. Efforts must be made to promote, market, sell, and engage
potential visitors.

All of this must be reinforced again and again. Destination
organizations are uniquely positioned to do this. Addressing this need for destination
promotion benefits and enhances the well-being of every person in a community. It is
a common good.

It is an essential investment in developing opportunities and
building quality of life for all residents.
Supporting destination promotion and organizations focuses on tangible benefits like
economic growth, job creation, and tax revenue enhancement; broader appeals to
community development, global competitiveness, and quality of life improvements;

Think about this!

Uganda has 42000 square kilometers of fresh waters and makes an average only usd 130m from fish sales annually.

Egypt on the other hand has 6000 square kilometers of fresh waters but makes usd 2bn dollars from sale of fish.

Am not even going to talk about the value the Nile river contributes to Egypt from tourism compared to Uganda.

I know we are going to rush blaming leaders but these are also gotten from amongst us and they represent our aspirations through elections.

If you follow discussions on X for example, do you think the mindset is represented? You can tell where a country is going by simply following conversations of its citizens.

Just last week, I read about 3 major loans that were approved, one for Arua airport, another for Jinja express highway or SGR and an agricultural loan.

As we borrow, we must reflect deeply on how we can take advantage of what God has freely gifted to us like the simple example above.

We need a Critical mass of Ugandans who wake up daily thinking about stuff like I have written about above. Plus also doing something about it!

To many observe discussion is boring but it’s the most necessary discussion! and deep relationships with constituents. These arguments align with key politi

STORY

RWENZORI MARATHON 2026

AT OTTAWA MARATHON

At the OTTAWA MARATHON, we were so busy answering questions and engaging runners from across the world.

The gentleman in BLUE TSHIRT came taking pictures and wanted to talk to us but man we were busy busy. Didn’t want to leave our stand.

He works with British high commission in OTTAWA, CANADA.

Thankfully, Amb @kajik5566 arrived just in time, he wanted to know more about how we got the stand.

He wants UK marathons like Manchester , Brighton etc to exhibit as well at the OTTAWA MARATHON next year.

He was impressed that the Uganda high commission was working with private sector to grow a marathon.

What a cruel world! To imagine that such a talent - a star who proudly flew our national flag with the Uganda Rugby Cranes - fell at the hands of a mob is as alarming as it is devastating. We all hope that there will be justice for this heinous crime. Deepest condolences to his family, the Rugby fraternity, and every fan who cheered him on. May the almighty grant infinite strength to his loved ones during this dark time.
