@MsBrenda_A @JohnGuma5 Irrigation cannot replace trees. Coffee is originally a forest crop. To get the best coffee we need to mimic forest conditions. Choice of selected shade trees fixes nitrogen in soil. Nitrogen is most important nutrient determining bean size and quality.

@GodwinTOKO @KiiraMotors Well said and spot on.

Kenya suspends peanut butter brands over dangerous aflatoxin levels. Aflatoxins cause cancer. Laboratory analysis found multiple products exceeded maximum aflatoxin limit of 15parts per billion with levels as high as 934. UNBS should do spot checks in Uganda. How safe our Odi?

A historic oil shock and surging fuel prices are strengthening the case for electric vehicles. China’s EV makers are eager to deliver.

@rkabushenga @geneva_uganda Uganda's exports to Switzerland increased by 132% from US$29m (2024) to $68m in 2025. Switzerland is a high value market. We have not had this percentage growth here ever. Coffee is the engine that makes people in the northern hemisphere work. It is not a luxury, its a necessity.

AI won’t replace humans, but humans using AI will replace humans who don’t. By 2026, 100 million new jobs will emerge that require AI collaboration skills, making AI literacy as essential as email once was.

@DeeSandy20 Wow! You made it to the Gulu Marathon. I missed that. Did you do the 10k or full marathon.

[Daniel Karibwije @dankarib]

@wekesa_amos Thanks for touching the lives of many people. God bless you.

@wekesa_amos Uganda has a competitive advantage in Athletics compared to any other sport. This is not to say other sports are irrelevant, but, if Athletics is giving you more global attention why not invest more in it? Kenya's long distance runners are their biggest brand ambassadors.

@NIRA_Ug Please share the process and costs to certify national identity cards. Which offices should one go to and how long does the entire process take? Nobody picks up your customer care lines so I have resorted to X. Hope I get a response sooner than later.

[Daniel Karibwije @dankarib]

@Comrade_Otoa @nssfug Yes indeed. We are waiting to see which unit trust funds are going to beat 13.5%...the competition is on!

@ApolloBuregyeya Well said my brother. SACCOs have enjoyed tax holiday for 10 years and URA has considered getting a knife on this animal. Will taxing SACCOs equal to death?

@bkabumba @MakerereLaw Your services are still needed up the hill. Students look up to you in many ways and they will miss the services of one of the smartest legal minds of our generation. You can choose to retire if/when you join the bench. Some of us have been waiting for this. Let me stop here.

@NIRA_Ug after fulfilling all the requirements and logging in all the necessary documents for a death certificate we were given a date to pick up the certificate in July. At pick up should we carry any further documents or just my national ID for pick up? Please advise

@wekesa_amos @robwalkertv @RwenzoriMarathn @TourismBoardUg @UgandaMFA Well done @wekesa_amos and glad to know the sports commentator was in town. His big country promotion on Uganda's athletics track performance was a big push. He did this from the heart. God bless him.

A must read!

Topic; Visas / Travel advisories

Last night I was reflecting and thought about the future of African countries especially Uganda.

For Uganda to succeed, we must do business with the already developed countries.

If we don’t do business with them, we shall continue to either chase for Aid or loans and both simply sink us like it’s happening.

The Developed countries are trading with us but it’s one way if you took time to study the figures.

They already pretty much control our essential sectors and these sectors make money even in our time of trouble.

Those sectors are banking, insurance, telcos etc and some are owned indirectly through shares. Will highlight that in future!

But the developed are controlling us using VISAs and TRAVEL ADVISORIES as trade barriers and we don’t have strong leaders that can stand up and engage.

Our leaders are given softer terms for visas through service passports for the case of Uganda. This actually blinds them from engaging. It doesn’t generally affect them.

The general population on the other hand is discussing how men shouldn’t be locked out when they return late at home.

90% of the people with service passport aren’t going out there to look for business opportunities for uganda, they aren’t business people.

Visa costs will continue to be very expensive( that is earning for the developed countries), already cost of travel from Africa is too high.

Every country needs a healthy economy as top priority and economies are composed of many businesses.

Businesses are created mainly by entrepreneurs and if I want to kill your economy, I make sure your entrepreneurs can’t access free movement to countries with opportunities.

The other massive trade barrier is travel advisories, the developed countries know that when their citizens visit less developed countries, those countries earn money.

The attached below will help you understand how tourism facilitated through free or easy movement is massive opportunity for countries.

The people from the developed countries will continue to control businesses in less developed countries and free movement for their citizens will facilitate that.

They simply post negative travel advisories on their websites and go to sleep and we don’t have the ability to engage or fight back.

Negative travel advisories affect travel insurance and wealthy people won’t travel without travel insurance so we miss chances of earning from their wealthy people.

These are things us voters should engaging those who want to lead us on but they also generally don’t make sense to us the voters. Those who want to lead then simply concentrate on giving us sugar and salt.

Right now a French Citizens or American citizen doing business in uganda has big advantage over me by far even when I think I have a good brain and good work ethics.

They enter Uganda anytime they so wish and can move around the world to look for business anytime they want and if they are disturbed, their embassies here in Uganda will fight for them.

Don’t forget they can access cheap financing from their countries already something that’s so far fetched for me, the serious business decisions for banks here in uganda are made in their countries.

What should Ugandan do?

1- Engage countries that have their citizens operating businesses here in uganda to make sure our entrepreneurs can access easily business opportunities in their countries.

2 - push for Intra Africa business opportunities , African countries trade with each other only 16%

3 - push for business with say Asian countries since they don’t seem to always block us through visas and negative travel advisories

4 - invest in lobbying since some of these visas issues and travel advisories can be sorted outed through lobbying.

5 - since our leaders dine with representatives of these countries, we should encourage them to discuss serious stuff like what am writing about above.

Note: tag leaders
