You can be very popular at your workplace, but if you're laid off today, no one from work will call you after 2 weeks.
Avoid gossip. Don't brag. Do your job. Get paid. Go home. Keep your private life to yourself.

Entrepreneurship in this country is constant pain and tears.

[Hillary bamulinde @Hbamulinde]

@MEMD_Uganda @PAU_Uganda we know you're well aware of this issue and have intervened severally but, what will it take for @TotalEnergiesUG to take action without using us as leverage?

[Hillary bamulinde @Hbamulinde]

Pearl Sweet is Uganda’s new crude oil brand, but for some Ugandan companies, the story of First Oil is anything but sweet.

Nearly 4 years after supplying goods & services that helped build the now gigantic Tilenga Project for @TotalEnergiesUG , several local companies are still waiting to be paid.

They invested, borrowed, employed Ugandans and delivered when the project needed them most. Today, as the country celebrates the approach of First Oil, some of those very businesses are left with only broken balance sheets.

The journey to Pearl Sweet has burried many in bitterness

[Fred Amonya @FredAmonya]

@Hbamulinde @TotalEnergiesUG Sad. Let this inspire a debate in Parliament. Trust in the process is worth far more than the oil money itself.

[Daron Bartlett @bartlettdaron]

This is the ugly side of running a business dependent on tenders, especially when government is the customer. You deliver today, pay salaries, borrow to keep operations moving, then spend years chasing money you have already earned. Cash flow is oxygen for a business, yet delayed payments can quietly kill otherwise good companies. First Oil may be sweet for Uganda, but for some suppliers, the journey has tasted like debt, interest and broken balance sheets.

[Munduru's Balaam @aalesimaria]

The new vision headline talks about how billions have been secured in contracts in the oil sector. However, the sector lives on the graves of many other businesses it has and is killing.

@KatalikaweW @ForestryMgt_MWE @min_waterUg No major project starts without an ESIA, basic knowledge when you participate in building these projects and not just using them

[Hillary bamulinde @Hbamulinde]

Credit where it's due; the process of getting a NEMA licence has improved significantly.

It's nolonger just a consultant-driven paper exercise. There's more automation, proper stakeholder engagement; from ministries and local governments to PAPs & laboratories. It's a much more rigorous process overall.

It may not be as quick as getting a driving permit or as easy as making chapatti but, compared to yesteryear, the progress is undeniable. For that, NEMA deserves its flowers.

Many think NEMA is simply about wetlands until you have a project that actually requires environmental approval.

[Barirega Akankwasah, PhD @ABarirega]

@MubangiziMathia @Hbamulinde @nemaug Thank you for the kind words. The journey is still long but the starting is beginning to demonstrate that it’s possible when we work together.

[Barirega Akankwasah, PhD @ABarirega]

@Hbamulinde Thank you for the kind words. We strive to improve as we learn.

You don't need empty land to earn:
🌳 Woodlots & agroforestry → carbon credits
🍳 Clean cooking → carbon programmes
☀️ Solar → support under programmes like EASP

And by law (2025 regulations), communities share the carbon revenue.

[Redah Informatics @REDAH_UG]

This 245-hectare woodlot example: $14,700 a year in carbon revenue — without selling the land or cutting a single tree.

Most Ugandan landowners have never seen a number for their own land. Now you can — free, in minutes. 🧵

Over the past two months in my new role at @UEDCLTD, one priority has shaped our work: delivering the reliable electricity our customers expect and deserve.

Reliable electricity is about much more than keeping the lights on. It gives businesses the confidence to invest, enables essential services to operate without interruption, and helps families go about their daily lives with greater certainty. It is also fundamental to Uganda's economic growth and development.

I know many of our customers have experienced unreliable power supply. Those frustrations are real and rebuilding confidence will require consistent improvements across our network. Every day, our teams are focused on strengthening the system through better planning, investment and operational excellence. We know there is still work ahead, but every upgrade, investment and improvement brings us closer to delivering the reliable service our customers expect and deserve.

The recent commissioning of the Maya integration lines along the Masaka Road corridor is one example. The project, delivered through a partnership between UEDCL and @uetcl, was implemented under UEDCL's approved capital investment programme with the support of the Electricity Regulatory Authority (@ERA_Uganda) and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (@MEMD_Uganda). By strengthening supply and reducing reliance on a single source, the project improves network resilience and reliability for the communities we serve.

As demand for electricity continues to grow, so must our ambition. We remain committed to investing in infrastructure, modernising our network and delivering better outcomes for the people and businesses that depend on us.

I look forward to using this platform to share more about the work we are doing across UEDCL, the progress we are making, and the dedicated people behind it.

For a small business, a delayed payment isn't an inconvenience, it's survival.

Local content shouldnt be about giving contracts to Ugandans, it should also be about paying them on time.

4 years is not just a delay. It's a business sentence.

There's no peace in working overtime to make people think you're winning while privately you're fighting to stay afloat.
May your success in real life be louder than your success online.

The goal is private results and not public impressions.

This is the kind of line you laugh at in S2 and then meet again as an adult. Back then the lonely walk ended in canes or a suspension letter.

As an adult it can end in prison, and the boys who join a mob learn it hardest, the crowd scatters and one person carries a life sentence.
