Dear Mr. Hamis Kiggundu,
As a citizen and an urban planner(Graduate Architect) who deeply cares about the future of Kampala, I would like to first commend you for the bold initiative you have taken to clean, de-silt, and restore the Nakivubo Channel.A thread....
Last evening I returned to a subdued Makerere University to officiate at Mitchelex (Mitchell and Complex halls) solidarity reunion dinner at the great Mitchell Hall. Thank you Mitchlex solidarity for honouring me. The dinner was also graced with other solidarity ancestors such as Hon Barnabas Tinkasimire. Dinners are the few social gatherings not yet banned by the regime using vice chancellor Prof Barnabas Nawangwe. Morning joggings have been added on the not to do list. The Red freshers gowns have gone. If you were in Lumumba Hall, your Gongom is no more. The crime of this statue is that it inspires violence. The social construction of the university completely destroyed. Gatherings of more than 10 students require prior approval. There is a military detach stationed there since the presidential elections in January, in addition to a police division! Makerere is now unrecognizable!
Sydney Gongodyo has bled at the Graveyard for both @piratesrugbyUG & @MakerereRugby. We join the rugby community to mourn his untimely death.
We call upon all @piratesfansug who will show up for our game today to come with the Pirates flag and wave it high in his memory.
One month under Eng. Joselyn Rwakakooko at @UEDCLTD, and in Najjera, we've only experienced a 30-minute outage during a hailstorm. She's doing an amazing job. Kudos, ma'am. ๐
I had an interesting interaction with a team of young & talented youths who came up with a great initiative to form an organized football team as led by @KatumbaSalim
I invited the team to come for a friendly game against our own home boys at Kinoni Playground on 9th , 2PM

I donโt know how many times Makerere Architecture students have developed proposals for Katanga โฆproper planning schemes, relocation and housing solutions, drainage improvements, and other interventions. Every year, brilliant ideas and practical solutions are produced, yet most of them never move beyond the drawing board.
Theyโll tell you construction is a manโs world, but the walls these women are building say otherwise.
100 young women are beneficiaries of the Dignifying Jobs for Women in Construction program, an initiative that is equipping young women with the hands-on skills needed to unlock high-earning employment opportunities in the construction industry๐๏ธ
Implemented by SASA College of Industrial Design, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, Digital Opportunity Trust, and Mirembe Community College.
