Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim has spent years using his voice and talents to hold power accountable as his contribution towards a better society for us all.

Instead of honoring his work, the regime is actively working to silence him through, among other oppressive tactics. A court order was recently issued against him, by which he is required to pay a total of UGX 30,000,000/= within 14 days or spend three months in prison. Why? Because he made a post on his social media platform calling out an injustice that, in the court's wisdom, amounts to contempt.

I am calling on all Ugandans of good conscience, in Uganda and abroad, to stand with Dr. Spire in whatever way we can, and help him resolve this challenge.

I don't share sentiments with critics of the standards of football in Africa, who say the continent doesn't deserve the 10 slots in the World Cup, 8 of whom have been eliminated to date.

Europe had 16 slots, 9 have been eliminated. America had 12, and 7 have been eliminated. Asia had 5 and they're all eliminated, as have those from Oceania.

All the 10 African countries have made a good account of themselves, and the tournament is a learning experience.
Whatever the attitudes of the North Africans, they're representatives of Africa, Morroco and (especially) Egypt (which depends on R. Nile), who are still in the race, ought to be supported by us. CPM

An American journalist told Kalidou Koulibaly:

"I recommend you visit the nightclub called Paradise. All the players enjoy the atmosphere there."

Kalidou Koulibaly replied:

"Since I arrived here, I have only left my house to attend training and go to the mosque. We are Muslims. Such places are not part of our religion or our values."

This is the beauty of Islam.

أنتم تخافون من الرياح،، ونحن نخاف من الله ..
مدرب زعيمإفريقيا، منتخب السنغال، بابي ثياو، يتصدر الترند حاليًا في الولايات المتحدة بسبب تصريحاته خلال المؤتمر الصحفي.
🗣️ الصحفي: "كانت هناك رياح شديدة في ولاية نيوجيرسي اليوم، وقد طلبت الجهات الأمنية من أعضاء البعثة عدم الخروج حفاظًا على سلامتكم. لماذا خرجتم لأداء الصلاة؟"
💬 بابي ثياو (مدرب السنغال): "وهل يوجد شيء أهم من الصلاة؟ أعتقد أن هذا السؤال ليس من شأنك. أنتم تخافون من الرياح، ونحن نخاف من الله الذي خلق الرياح. نحن هنا من أجل لعبة ترفيهية، ونسينا أننا خُلقنا أولًا لعبادة الله."
💬 وأضاف: "لو كان نهائي كأس العالم اليوم وكنا أحد طرفيه، لخرجنا لأداء صلاة الجمعة حتى لو كلفنا ذلك خسارة البطولة. لا تتحدثوا معنا عن شعائر تخص ديننا."

Denied by US to fulfil a dream that took him more than 20 years. And he took the blow with smile.

Returned home and got awarded $50,000 by one Somali presidential candidate. An amount he would have been paid in the for the entire tournament.

Mobilisation of upto $1 million by the Somali community both at home and abroad is underway.

UEFA has now appointed Omar Artan to officiate one of the most watched football finale, the UEFA Super Cup.

And could be on top of the list for the next AFCON and World Cup.

Some blessings come disguised as disappointment. If God has decided it's yours, it will be yours.

BUDGET 2026/27: WHAT IT MEANS FOR CONTRACTORS.
=======

The FY 2026/27 Budget contains good news for the construction sector. Significant investments continue in roads, bridges, railways, airports, energy infrastructure, industrial parks, public buildings and urban development. On the surface, this suggests a healthy pipeline of work for contractors across the country.

Yet before contractors celebrate the opportunities contained in the budget, there is a more important question to ask: will this budget grow Uganda's construction industry, or will it merely grow construction activity?

The distinction is important.

For more than three decades, Uganda has invested heavily in infrastructure. Roads have been built, power generation has expanded, airports have been modernised, industrial parks have been established and public buildings have been constructed across the country. Yet many local contractors continue to face the same structural challenges they faced twenty years ago.

Access to affordable finance remains limited. Delayed payments continue to undermine cash flow. Performance securities and bid security requirements remain difficult for many firms to satisfy. Access to modern equipment remains constrained, while technical capacity continues to be fragmented across the industry. Large projects remain concentrated among a relatively small number of firms, many of them foreign-owned.

As a result, the paradox persists. Uganda's construction market has grown significantly, yet many indigenous contractors have not grown at the same pace.

The question therefore is no longer whether infrastructure is being built. The question is whether the process of building infrastructure is simultaneously building local construction capacity. A country can spend billions of shillings on roads, bridges and public facilities and still fail to develop strong local contractors capable of competing at scale.

The budget's emphasis on industrialisation, manufacturing and value addition creates an opportunity for contractors to rethink their role. Contractors should not merely be consumers of cement, steel, fuel and imported equipment. They should increasingly become participants in industrial development itself.

The future contractor may need to operate block plants, precast facilities, material laboratories, equipment workshops, asphalt plants, crushing plants and manufacturing operations. The future of contracting may be less about labour mobilisation and more about industrial capability. Firms that remain dependent solely on labour and project acquisition may find themselves increasingly vulnerable in a market that rewards productivity, quality and technical sophistication.

The budget also highlights another challenge for the industry. As Uganda's infrastructure stock expands, maintenance will become a larger and more predictable market than new construction in some sectors. Yet the industry remains overwhelmingly organised around project acquisition rather than asset management. Many contractors are still pursuing one-off projects when the emerging opportunity may lie in long-term maintenance, rehabilitation and infrastructure performance management.

The budget further reinforces the growing importance of standards, certification and accountability. The recent public discussions surrounding building collapses, infrastructure failures and construction quality should remind us that the future competitiveness of local contractors will depend not only on price but also on quality, reliability, safety and technical competence. In a more mature construction market, quality becomes a competitive advantage rather than merely a compliance requirement.

For local contractors, therefore, the most important question arising from the budget is not how much money has been allocated to infrastructure. The more important question is how much of that investment will strengthen indigenous contracting capacity and create firms capable of surviving beyond a single project cycle.

A country can build roads without building contractors. It can construct bridges without developing an engineering industry. It can spend billions on infrastructure and still remain dependent on foreign expertise, foreign equipment and foreign capital. The true measure of success will not be the kilometres of road constructed or the number of projects commissioned. The true measure will be whether Uganda emerges with stronger local contractors, stronger local suppliers, stronger local manufacturers and stronger local engineering enterprises.

The budget has provided resources for infrastructure. The challenge before contractors is to ensure that infrastructure investment becomes a vehicle for building the industry itself. If this opportunity is seized, contractors will become more than builders of projects. They will become builders of industrial capacity, employment, technological capability and national wealth.

APPEAL
Those who have my phone number, kindly do not give it out to every person looking for help with school fees. Much as I understand the desperation and wish I could help, I am only an individual human, I cannot handle the entire country’s needs for help. Over 10 to 15 people call me in a day asking for help with fees, sickness, jobs, food and so on … So, when I cannot help, please understand.

Today a lady called literally crying about her daughter left with two years of Medicine at KIU, but now totally stranded. I explained that I could not help, but she insisted pleading in tears: ‘May God touch your heart not to leave me like this sir …’. I could feel the pain in her voice, and I was pained too. But I wish I was more than me.
