@FrankGashumba You guys are unbelievable. Muganga's perceived tribulations has nothing to do with his Mothers's grave. Prove that you dont have those allegiance with the countries in question. This Katemba wont help. A prof should do better than stage a dramatic scenes to blackmail Parliament.

Lacambel doing what he loved most. RIP oteka lweny😭

[Balmoi Stephen @balmoistev]

I really feel for @kasujja. At what stage did the country's comm gurus lose the plot? The misinformation regarding this particular outbreak from the global media isn't funny anymore. It's a disaster😒

[Balmoi Stephen @balmoistev]

Rest well Lacambel W'Ogena😭

I believe this was spontenouse 'uprising'😁. Next time, learn from Man United fans, and focus more on community impact celebrations.

#UnpopularOpinion #730. Uganda was mentioned in many media outlets including Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as having showed much love & support for @Arsenal through street parades, etc. How I wish instead we planted trees, cleaned hospitals, got spades & shovels & emptied choked trenches in towns, pulled together some money for children suffering from heart disease, sickle cell or malaria, re-painted zebra crossings, taken goodies to children homes, hosted street children to lunch & delivered clothes to them, penned a document to government in support of the purge against corruption etc. Drinking malwa, downing liters of liquor, cleaning platters of pork & painting cows in Arsenal colors may be good but not enough. We needed to show our opponents our class & enlist young supporters into our club.

These guys are forcing the Ebola outbreak down our throat. Sad! @WHOUganda @WHO

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Uganda 🇺🇬 @UgandaMFA]

@FoxNews The American Doctor was in the DRC which is the country west of Uganda. He did not treat any ebola patients in Uganda. There is currently no outbreak on Ugandan territory. Please make this clarification.

[Amb. Rosa Malango “Naluwooza” “Aciro” @RMalango2021]

Dear Samson I have observed several concerns and have addressed them in previous posts . Allow me to highlight some of my views:

The WHO explicitly advises against using the following elements in a disease's name to avoid backlash, prejudice, and economic harm including geographic locations, cultural references etc. Naming this virus after a district in Uganda violates this principle.

Uganda is an internationally recognized center of excellence in managing epidemiological diseases thanks to robust political leadership by H E President @KagutaMuseveni that runs all the way down to local level with robust monitoring and preventive ecosystems that have been used to address Ebola always coming from DRC. This experience also served as a basis for the effectiveness of our response to COVID-19. The current narrative is making it sound as if the virus originated here and as if we have local transmission cases. None of which is true.

Normally Uganda’s listing as an affected country depends on local transmissions and as of this moment we have registered ZERO LOCAL TRANSMISSIONS. This means Uganda’s partners need to recognize the HEIGHTENED PREVENTIVE MEASURES taken and not penalize the country, our people and our livelihoods for our readiness.

Last but not least, how we communicate about prevention matters. We must be clear and specific without using images and fonts and colors that cause alarm. I recognize that the system needs to mobilize resources but this should not be done at the expense of one of the world’s best epidemiological monitoring and control systems. Action by @UgandaMediaCent and @TourismBoardUg are accurate, professional and should be emulated by all stakeholders. @SamsonMKasumba

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.

I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.

I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.

@brucenahabwe1 @AKasingye I know its a subconcious thing, not just letter O, but you want to associate the bad things with O😊

[Balmoi Stephen @balmoistev]
