I couldn’t stand the thought of scrolling the internet and seeing my father’s casket in the grave.That’s why no videos were allowed at the burial.
You can spin it how you want.God will forgive you for the things you do for clout.
The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has commended General Officers due for retirement later this year for their distinguished, dedicated and selfless service to the nation.
The commendation came during a documentation exercise involving 20 General Officers at the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs headquarters in Mbuya. The exercise marked a key step in the retirement process.
Representing the Chief of Joint Staff, the Joint Staff Human Resource Management, Maj Gen James Kinalwa praised the officers for their contribution to national security and institutional development. He described their service as a cornerstone of the UPDF’s growth and Uganda’s stability.
“Your sacrifices, commitment, and leadership have significantly contributed to peace, stability, and the strengthening of our military institution,” Maj Gen Kinalwa said.
He said retirement should not be viewed as the end of active military service but as the beginning of a new phase of service to society.
“Retirement is not the end of usefulness or relevance, but a transition into another important phase where you continue serving your families, communities, and the nation,” he added.
Maj Gen Kinalwa said the experience, discipline, strategic thinking and integrity accumulated by the retiring officers remain valuable national assets.
He noted that the officers served with courage, resilience and patriotism, often under demanding operational conditions. Their efforts helped shape military doctrine, policy and leadership development within the force.
“Many of you commanded troops in difficult operational environments, mentored younger officers, strengthened civil-military relations, and contributed to regional and international peace and security initiatives,” he said.
The senior officer encouraged the retiring generals to continue offering their expertise in advisory, diplomatic, academic and mentorship roles whenever called upon.
“As you transition into civilian life, remain ambassadors of the UPDF and uphold the values of discipline, professionalism, and service,” he urged.
The officers form part of Batch 16 of the UPDF retirement programme. They include one General, two Lieutenant Generals, four Major Generals and 13 Brigadier Generals.
@KaritasKarisim2 The biggest question is why Ugandan Banyarwanda who are Ugandans for all intents and purposes also choose to be identified as Rwandese. Aren't they satisfied with being Ugandans or even when they are Ugandans they still want to be Rwandese.
What exactly causes this?
Fact: President @KagutaMuseveni nominated Dr Lawrence @ReachDrMuganga (born Mukono 1976, @VUKampala VC) as State Minister for Internal Affairs in the 2026-2031 cabinet.
Fact: @Parliament_Ug’s Appointments Committee chaired by @ObothOboth rejected the nomination after due diligence revealed three passports👉🏻@GovUganda (valid), @Canada (expired 2019, renunciation process started), @RwandaGov (expired 2014). Muganga admits prior dual UG-CA citizenship, denies holding current Rwandan citizenship, and affirms he is Ugandan by birth.
Fact: Uganda law (Section 19D + Fifth Schedule, Citizenship & Immigration Control Act) https://t.co/8i3hQD6DM5 bars dual citizens from ministerial offices unless foreign citizenship is fully renounced. Other nominees with dual status provided proof of an ongoing process of renunciation and were approved.
Fact: @ReachDrMuganga has repeatedly declared loyalty to Uganda and his plan to be buried next to his parents in Mukono which is his ancestral birthplace.
With all facts now public, this matter should be left solely to President @KagutaMuseveni the elder statesman and smartest Politician among us to decide Muganga’s fate. He nominated him. He knows the full picture.
@Parliament_Ug has done its vetting. Let the appointing authority decide what serves Uganda best.

Our borders and the divisions they create among us are the most nonsensical post-colonial retention by Africans. It is shame we see ourselves in terms of these borders created by white people who knew we will never have the ability to remove them. They created them then they sold us a very “strange” version of sovereignty and territorial integrity! Now we see each other as strangers.
How can the people who speak the same language in Uganda and Kenya have different identities 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 and we believe they are different? I hear one is Ugandan and the other Kenyan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
