Earlier today morning, I joined the ongoing 10th Grand Doctors’ Annual Conference and AGM at Soroti University. The meeting was presided over by H.E. @KagutaMuseveni , and the Soroti Declaration was adopted.
1/2-
@KagutaMuseveni I congratulate the medical fraternity upon the successful conference. Health is a very important sector, with a direct bearing on production and productivity.
2/2.
@MwesigyeFranks Ndugu @HonTwallafadil should caution members of @PLUsecretariat from tarnishing our image since it's hard to defend supreme leader if some leaders are after attacking whoever doesn't believe in PLU instead of ignoring or finding out how to get them to PLU. This is unacceptable!
@MwesigyeFranks I really don't know what is going on in @PLUsecretariat . Are we replacing @NUP_Ug that we all knew for attacking and blackmailing those against them? If so, then we have no good plans for Uganda but to spread hatred. I see this disease spreading from @DaudiKabanda to others.
Last evening, I was honoured to join the British High Commissioner to Uganda, H.E Lisa Chesney, to mark the Official Birthday of His Majesty King Charles III. I extended my warmest congratulations to His Majesty.
The theme, "Sport is GREAT," reminded us of how sport unites people. As Uganda co-hosts AFCON 2027, I took the moment to invite our British friends and the entire diplomatic corps to come, support African football and discover Uganda.
I also confessed my loyalty to @ManUtd. Despite what is happening at the club, I remain hopeful, though our host joked that United fans need a few more wins first.
In my remarks, I emphasized that our relationship with the United Kingdom goes beyond sport. I also thanked the British High Commission for facilitating my recent visit to the House of Commons, which strengthened the bonds between our two Parliaments. We value this strong bond.
I noted that the UK is our long-standing and valued partner with about t £1 billion invested in our nation and another £1 billion in the pipeline, in projects such as Kabalega International Airport, power transmission and tourism roads.
We salute the solid cooperation the British have extended to us through defence, health and education, including Chevening and Commonwealth scholarships. All this support continues to change lives in our nation.
We may not always agree on everything, but our friendship is honest, frank and the bond forged under the Commonwealth fraternity keeps us stronger together.
As Parliament, we value this partnership and our relationship with the House of Commons. We hope to keep strengthening the bonds between our peoples through parliamentary diplomacy.
For God and My Country.
The CID fraternity congratulates AIGP Tom Magambo @Tom_Magambo for the well deserved promotion and wishes him continued success in his service to the nation
This morning, I received the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Uganda Chief of Mission, Mr. Sanusi Tejan Savage, at my chambers. We discussed the plight of Ugandans working abroad.
Our migrant workers sent home about US$2.5 billion in 2025. Yet many of them continue to face challenges, such as abuse, mistreatment and fraud at the hands of unscrupulous labour companies here and in the host countries.
My office has received numerous appeals from many families especially those who sold their land to send their children to work aboard. While government has done so much to streamline labour externalisation, there are extant gaps that must be fixed.
During the meeting, I asked the IOM chief to join hands with us to push for a government framework that can comprehensively address our children’s challenges while working abroad.
For example, we are already handling petitions on Ugandans trafficked and forced in to labour abroad. Some are trapped in war zones like Russia and Ukraine.
Parliament will strengthen the existing legal framework to ensure these workers are protected here and abroad. I have promised Mr. Savage that we will be the voice of every migrant worker facing challenges and distress.
Thank you, IOM, for repatriating hundreds of stranded Ugandans.
