Listening to Gen (Rtd) Fred Ibingira recount how, during the insurgency of late 1990’s, commanders were required to sign letters accepting the ultimate consequences should they fail to stop the advance of the abacengezi, was a powerful reminder of what accountability looked like when Rwanda’s very survival was at stake.

The point is not the firing squad itself. It is that the responsibility to protect the nation was made unmistakably real.

This made me reflect on a question for all of us.

What is the equivalent, in our own fields, of that level of accountability? What consequence, standard or commitment is strong enough to keep us focused on the mission of rebuilding Rwanda and ensuring that our country never again falls into the hands of those who sought to destroy it?

Nations are not only protected by soldiers at the front. They are also protected every day by citizens, public servants, teachers, entrepreneurs, artists and leaders who refuse complacency and take their responsibilities seriously.

These were commanders who had already faced death on the battlefield. Yet what shook them was not simply the prospect of dying—it was the prospect of failing in the duty entrusted to them.

That distinction says something profound about Rwanda’s sense of leadership.

In Uganda, an organisation called The Big Fix Uganda is teaching children that dogs are friends, not animals to fear or mistreat.

For many of the kids, it’s the first time they have seen dogs calmly respond to commands.

Small lesson, but it can change how a child looks at dogs for life.

Wananchi will not shoot or teargas each other. They do not have guns and rungus. And so, I plead with the authorities, please exercise restraint. Serve and protect. Today is a delicate day. #June25

Sitaane, 3 months ago, on the 21st of March, 2026, launched an attack on the life of Maama. However, sitaane miscalculated. The 21st of March is a good day for the Resistance. That is when we defeated the counter-attack of Idi Amin at Rugaando (12 miles from Mbarara) in 1979. God, using good doctors, saved Maama’s life and she is now recovering well.

Maama has done great things in the family, especially caring for the children during the 2nd phase of the Resistance between 1981 to 1986 when she was alone in exile and I was in the bush. She has been a great philanthropist with UWESO and she has contributed to the NRM politics in Ntungamo on top of her religious work.

I pray to God to get us to 100 years respectively so that we, among the other good things, see the birth of the East African Federation which is the Insurance of Africa against any future domination or marginalization.

Ibyo wamenya ku mpinduka zikomeye zakozwe mu gukorera Permit mu Rwanda
==========================
Hashize igihe abaturage, abigisha gutwara ibinyabiziga ndetse n’abashaka kubona impushya zo gutwara ibinyabiziga bagaragaza ibibazo byagaragaraga mu mitegurire n’imikorere y’ibizamini bya permit. Ubu noneho hagiye gutangira icyiciro gishya kigamije kuvugurura uburyo bwose bwo kwigisha no gusuzuma abifuza kubona impushya zo gutwara ibinyabiziga.

Izi mpinduka zije zikurikira ibiganiro bimaze igihe birebana n'ubuziranenge bw'amasomo atangirwa mu mashuri yigisha gutwara ibinyabiziga ndetse n'uburyo ibizamini byakorwaga.

Mu bihe byashize, uburyo bwo kwigisha bwatandukanyaga cyane bitewe n'uko abarimu batakoraga bakurikije gahunda imwe ihuriweho, ibintu byatumaga ireme ry'ubumenyi ritandukana hagati y'abanyeshuri biga mu bigo bitandukanye.

Mu rwego rwo gukemura icyo kibazo, amategeko mashya ateganya ibisabwa bishya ku muntu ushaka gukora umwuga wo kwigisha gutwara ibinyabiziga. Umwarimu azajya asabwa kuba nibura yararangije amashuri yisumbuye kandi afite impamyabumenyi ndetse n'icyemezo cy'ubwarimu kimwemerera gukora uwo mwuga.

Byongeye kandi, abarimu bazajya bakurikiza imfashanyigisho zemewe kandi zateguwe ku rwego rw'igihugu. Nta mwarimu uzaba yemerewe guhindura gahunda y'amasomo uko yishakiye. Niba amasomo yo gutwara ibinyabiziga yarateganyijwe kumara amezi atatu, ayo mezi azubahirizwa uko yakabaye.

Ni nako bizagenda ku masomo y'amategeko y'umuhanda, aho igihe cyagenwe cyo kuyiga kizajya cyubahirizwa kugira ngo abanyeshuri bose bahabwe amahirwe angana yo kwiga no gusobanukirwa neza ibyo basabwa.

Ikindi cyagarutsweho ni uko ibibuga bikorerwaho ibizamini bizasabwa kuba byujuje ibisabwa kandi bifite ibikorwaremezo bigezweho.

Hazakoreshwa uburyo buzwi nka Mini-Automated System, aho ikizamini kizajya gikoresha ikoranabuhanga ku kigero cya 80%. Abakandida bazajya bakora igice kinini cy'ibizamini hifashishijwe tablet, ibintu biteganyijwe kugabanya amakosa no kongera umucyo mu mitangire y'amanota.

Muri gahunda nshya kandi, buri mwarimu azajya ahugurirwa icyiciro kimwe gusa. Hari abazibanda ku kwigisha gutwara ibinyabiziga mu buryo bwa tekiniki, mu gihe abandi bazajya bigisha amategeko y'umuhanda.

Ku ruhande rw'abanyeshuri, na bo bazajya basabwa kuzuza ibisabwa mbere yo gukora ikizamini cya permit. Ku munsi w'ikizamini, buri mukandida azajya yerekana impamyabumenyi cyangwa icyemezo cy'ikigo yigiyeho, hagamijwe kwemeza ko koko yanyuze mu mahugurwa ateganyijwe kandi yujuje ibisabwa mbere yo kwinjira mu bizamini bya nyuma.

Amashuri yigisha gutwara ibinyabiziga na yo agiye gushyirirwaho uburyo bushya bwo kugenzurwa no guhabwa uburenganzira bwo gukora.

Uburenganzira bwo gukora buzajya butangwa na ANPAER ku bufatanye na Rwanda National Police, by'umwihariko ishami rishinzwe impushya zo gutwara ibinyabiziga.

Hari kandi n'icyatekerejwe ku barimu basanzwe bakora uyu mwuga kugira ngo badasigara inyuma y'impinduka nshya. Hatangajwe ko ANPAER izabategurira amahugurwa ashobora kumara amezi atatu cyangwa atandatu bitewe n'ibikenewe.

1994.

Parliament Lobby. Kampala.

The Constituent Assembly was debating the shape of a new Uganda when a young army captain, Noble Mayombo, rose to move a motion.

It was a small thing, on paper:

Change the name of the national army.

But Mayombo understood that names carry power.

The Name and the Man: Mayombo's Motion for the UPDF - 1994

"This is no longer the army of a resistance," he told his fellow delegates.

"It must be the defence force of a people."

The motion was simple in phrasing but profound in meaning:

That the National Resistance Army, born of the bush war, be renamed the Uganda People's Defence Forces.

Mayombo reminded the Assembly that while the NRA had fought valiantly, it belonged to a chapter of struggle.

A constitution, he argued, must speak for all citizens, not for a movement.

The army's name had to project neutrality, professionalism, and national ownership.

Mayombo's words carried weight beyond his years.

He had fought in the bush, but he understood that the new constitution was meant to bury the divisions of the past and build a common future.

By proposing the name change, he was not merely editing a document;

He was redefining the relationship between the soldier and the citizen.

The word "People's" was not cosmetic but constitutional, a signal that the guns were now bound by law, accountable to Ugandans rather than to a party.

Outside the chamber, in the Parliament lobby, seasoned journalist Bart Kakooza intercepted Mayombo for an interview.

Standing tall, the young captain repeated the essence of his argument into Kakooza's microphone.

Through radio and newspapers, his vision reached far beyond Kampala.

For many Ugandans, that was the first time they heard the phrase Uganda People's Defence Forces. It carried a freshness that suggested rebirth, a shift from partisan struggle to shared nationhood.

When the Assembly finally voted and Article 208 enshrined the UPDF in the 1995 Constitution, the moment was sealed.

The NRA passed into history, and the UPDF was born in law.

For Noble Mayombo, it was more than a legal victory; it was his signature contribution to the republic.

The image endures:

A young man in Parliament, moving a motion with conviction, then stepping into the lobby to explain to a journalist, and to the nation, why Uganda's army must belong to the people.

Mayombo's motion ensured that the army would no longer be the instrument of a movement, but the shield of a nation.

It was not just semantics.

It was a declaration that Uganda had moved from revolution to constitution, from the bullet to the ballot.

The name change may have been a small clause in a long document, but it was the mark of a mind that understood that the words you choose determine the nation you build.

What does it take to stand up in an assembly of elders and veterans and suggest that the revolution's army should be renamed for the people it serves?

Noble Mayombo was a young captain when he moved that motion.

He understood that constitutions are not just about power, they are about identity, and the names we give our institutions define the country we become.

The NRA won the war.

The UPDF was built to keep the peace.

At #SPIEF2026 in Russia, President Samia Suluhu Hassan declared Tanzania open for business, yet she chose to deliver her speech in Kiswahili rather than English. Is this a powerful statement of cultural patriotism and national identity on the global stage, or does it reflect deeper structural language barriers? What do you think? 🇹🇿

. @KCCAUG recognizes the urgent need to regulate the transport industry, particularly the operations of boda bodas, which have increasingly become a road safety risk. The Authority Council has already approved the Transport Bill, and it is now progressing through the necessary approval levels to be enacted as a Transport Ordinance.

This ordinance will provide a clear legal framework to guide the regulation of the industry, ensuring safer roads, orderly operations, and improved public safety across the city.
