Whoever is regulating these online lenders should crack the whip on them. I have just received a call from some tough-speaking lady claiming to be from Mangu Cash threatening to deduct their loan money if I don't produce some random person who put my name as their next of kin when they were borrowing. I think a lot of criminality is going on. I hope our telecoms do not allow their mobile money platforms to be used to carry out fraud orchestrated by such unscrupulous companies. @Tom_Magambo you need to interest your self in this sector many Ugandans might be dying quietly.
The Commissioner of Immigration Control, Col. Geoffrey Brian Kambere, addressed ambassadors during their ongoing conference organized by @UgandaMFA at the Civil Service College Uganda in Jinja. He spoke about the role of missions in providing immigration services.
Her unique role in our family story, came out between 1981 and 1986, when we had to send her into exile with our young children: Muhoozi, Natasha, Patience, and Diana- Muhoozi being 6 years and Diana 6 months. While our family had been in exile before (1971-1979), I had been with them in Tanzania-coming and going.
However, this time, she was with the children alone in Kenya and Sweden. Although by this time, I was well-known and I had many African friends (SamoraMachel, Shamuyarira, Mwammar Gaddaffi, friends in the USA, Arap Moi, etc.), systems do not always work well. She had to carry all the burden until they relocated to Sweden where the system was very friendly.
I salute the Swedish for supporting my family between 1983 and 1986. I salute Ambassador Mirjam Blaak for making the arrangements. I thank God who gave me Maama Janet to give me a family even as I wandered around as a freedom fighter.

It was an honour to receive Ambassador Elin Østebø Johansen of Norway who called on me to say farewell as she ends her tour of duty in Uganda. Norway is a world leader in the Energy field & therefore a valuable partner. Norway also supports education & health services in Uganda.
