Ugandans, the reality is coming closer.
New PAYE tax proposals:
•Up to UGX 335,000 — 0%
•UGX 335,000–410,000 — 20%
•UGX 410,000–485,000 — 25%
•UGX 485,000–10M — 30%

This is not just policy — it’s your sweat, your struggle, your survival.
The same salaries that can barely feed families are now being squeezed even harder. The cost of living is already high, businesses are struggling, and instead of relief, more burden is being prepared.
Our team trained five young community masons to build energy-saving stoves in Kibaale as part of our #EcoSmartProject.
These stoves will help reduce deforestation, lower fuel costs, and improve air quality, advancing climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods.

The Samuel Leeds School has finally opened, with over 400 pupils already registered 🏫
This is not our first school building, but it is our first private school, offering financial literacy as well as core subjects.
When I was at school, I was told I was stupid, and none of the teachers taught me anything about business or finance. Not only are we building schools that provide this education, but we are also working with the Ugandan government to improve the curriculums within state schools.
Our next project will be a Centre of Excellence that provides online courses and remote training for not only the children but also the teachers. I have just pledged to the Ministry of Education that I would construct this building, volunteer my teaching time, and provide computers for the new centre. This has never been done before.
Once this is proven to revolutionise the school curriculum and people see that the right education is the future of prosperity, I pray the UK will follow and allow me to offer my voluntary services to bring financial literacy across the country 🇬🇧
Empowering communities means building brighter futures.
At #InPactUganda, we focus on youth, women, and marginalized groups through vocational training, health, and sustainable livelihoods.
Join us as we create lasting impact across Uganda.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PATRICE LUMUMBA WAS ORDERED BY U.S PRESIDENT DWIGHT EISENHOWER.
On 17th January 1961, African martyr Patrice Emery Lumumba was secretely murdered in a remote forest location of the Katanga province, South Eastern Congo.
Just 7 months after his appointment as the first popularly elected prime minister of Congo upon his country's independence from Belgium on 30th June 1960, he was forced out of office, mercilessly killed, and his remains buried in a mass grave with two other political followers who had been executed alongside him.
The execution is reported to have happened in the presence of the Belgian Counsel General in Congo.
His was there reportedly to personally ascertain the killing of Patrice Lumumba and report the accomplished task back to Belgium.
Today Congolese and foreign tourists flock the remote site to see for themselves the place where Patrice Lumumba was murdered.
A tree and a grave stone mark where he was shot and then buried. The tree is still marked with holes made by the bullets after going through his body.
It has long been known that Belgium actively participated in Lumumba's death, and the European country's role has been highlighted recently by a film, several documenntaries, and several books.
'The Assassination of Lumumba', by the Flemish expert on Africa Lugo De Witte, shows that the Congolese Prime Minister was assaulted in the presence of Belgian officers and tortured in a villa guarded by Belgian troops.
Claude Grandelet, one of the Belgian soldiers guarding the house, narrated recently those events saying: "We had been ordered to shoot at UN peacekeepers if they came to check on Lumumba".
"And if we couldn't prevent the UN troops from entering the premises, we were ordered to immediately kill Lumumba" he added.
It is also worth noting that when he was ultimately killed, the Congolese Prime Minister was shot by an execution squad supervised by a Belgian captain.
His body would be exhumed a few days later from the shallow grave where he and his two colleagues bodies had been summarily dumped.
The exhumation was conducted by Belgian police commissioner Gerard Soet. He hAS narrated in a 2000 documentary how he then chopped Patrice Lumumba's body to pieces, burned them, and then dipped the remains in a tar-coated barrel of sulphuric acid before burning whatever was left.
More worryingly, Mr. Soete also admitted on Belgian television that he had even kept two of the victim's teeth which he presented to the camera's.
As he unfolded a handkerchief to present the two remains, he remarked that "Lumumba had very nice teeth.. One had been crowned with gold in the back".
This revelation prompted loud calls for their return to Congo.
Today at the site of the execution, one Congolese eye witness Mr. Lwimba Mutifu Njiba narrates to visitors how he and his father were returning from hunting at about 8 O'clock on that fateful evening when they saw the lights of a vehicle driving into the bushes.
As they watched from a distance, he saw one person being taken by soldiers from the truck to a nearby tree and shot. Then a second person. Then a third and last individual.
At the time he did not know who the three people being executed were.
He and his father stayed out of sight during the entire ordeal and only returned to the location the next morning to find a shallow mass grave with the bare feet of all three victims sticking out from the earth.
He also says that some Belgians would return a few days later to unearth the remains, and dump them in a barrel of acid.
They reportedly did so in order to erase any physical trace of Patrice Lumumba.
However since his death, Patrice Lumumba has become an African martyr and a symbol of the continents independence struggle.
He remains revered across Africa and the Third World.
