Faith, leadership and longstanding spiritual ties took centre stage at State House Entebbe as President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and First Lady Maama Janet Museveni hosted international evangelist Bishop Dr. LaDonna C.

A significant moment in Uganda’s military history was marked on Thursday, 20 August 2026, as President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Commander in Chief of the UPDF, presided over the retirement ceremony of 19 UPDF Generals at State House, Entebbe.

The ceremony was a honorable tribute to their years of dedicated service, discipline, leadership and invaluable contribution to the nation. We honour their distinguished service and wish them well as they begin a new chapter.
