I would like to share a personal reflection on the ongoing conversations around citizenship, identity, and public service in Uganda. I was born and raised in Uganda. It is the country that shaped me, educated me, gave me opportunities, and allowed me to serve to the best of my ability. When my Ugandan passport was revoked years ago, it was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. It felt deeply personal and, at the time, heartbreaking. I was asked to choose between aspects of my identity that, to me, had never been in conflict. After much reflection, I decided that what mattered most was my ability to continue living, working, and contributing to the country I call home. I subsequently obtained a Rwandan passport and a work permit. While the process brought inconvenience and frustration, it never stopped me from continuing to work, build, contribute, and serve alongside fellow Ugandans. Though I am of Rwandan heritage, I have always considered myself Ugandan in every meaningful sense of the word, having lived here my entire life. That experience taught me an important lesson: service to one’s country is not measured solely by the passport one carries, but by the contribution one makes, the values one upholds, and the commitment one demonstrates to the people around them. As we debate recent appointments and questions of citizenship, I believe our focus should remain on competence, integrity, service, and the value individuals can bring to Uganda. Institutions responsible for appointments should be allowed to perform their duties, while the rest of us assess leaders by the impact they make.
Uganda’s story has always been one of diverse communities, cultures, and histories living alongside one another. Our identities are often more interconnected than we sometimes acknowledge. That diversity should be a source of strength rather than division. I also wish to say this respectfully: those who seek to inflame tensions or claim to speak for all Banyarwanda do not speak for me. I have never denied my heritage, nor have I ever stopped loving Uganda. The loss of a passport did not diminish my affection for this country or my desire to contribute to its future. We are a peaceful people. We are neighbours, colleagues, friends, and family members. The conversations we have today will shape the country our children inherit tomorrow. Let us therefore choose wisdom over anger, unity over division, and dialogue over suspicion. I love Uganda, and I remain grateful for all it has given me. I also remember a time when many people of Rwandan heritage living in Uganda felt unable to openly acknowledge that part of who they were. We have made significant progress since then. Let us not move backwards. Let us continue building a society where people are judged by their character, contribution, and commitment to the common good.
Peace, respect, and togetherness must always come first #peace #respect #love #understanding

@rkabushenga: I too can attest that I was her boss @DailyMonitor and @NationMediaGrp Uganda for three years. @SueNsibirwa is a woman of integrity. It is a pity that someone is trying to drag her through their filth and rabid lies.

@SMO_VZ @NewSonof @Judgenap @RealPepeEscobar Can’t blame Iran for getting one. They’ve been repeatedly targeted by the lunatics in Washington and that genocidal state that’s attempting to commit another, yes another, genocide in Lebanon.

@mofpedU It will only help in limiting participation by the small unconnected private sector players while growing the connected monopolies. These are funny decisions:

IRAN GOING NUCLEAR

This is how we broke this bombshell yesterday at Power Shift - a new, independent geopolitical platform.

There's an effort right now - cannot name names - to obtain definitive confirmation from the top of Iran's power circle.

Это настоящий памятник Степану Бандере. Покажите его как можно большему числу своих знакомых. Сделайте перепост. Спасибо вам, неравнодушным! Пусть украинцы и все остальные знают, кто такой Степан Бандера. Внизу на камне выгравирована надпись: «Если я это забуду, пусть Небо забудет про меня».

Этот монумент установлен в Польше. Он создан по реальной фотографии расправы над детьми, которых бандеровцы во главе с «национальным героем» убивали, прикрепляя проволокой к столбам — чтобы сэкономить патроны.

Ochol's journey from the newsroom to the US Navy

Maurice Ochol did not simply change jobs or countries. He changed his understanding of what a meaningful life looks like. And in doing so, he offers a powerful lesson that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away from everything you have built and start again.

We all have a stake in ensuring that the parasites that benefit from maligning Uganda do not win.

Jinja.

The best-planned town in Uganda. 98% of the town has piped water.

Described by The Economist magazine in 1954 as "essentially a European town".

Jinja's decline began in the 1990s as factories relocated to Namanve and Kampala.

Tourism now the main employer.
