I'm so excited to share some great news from #Bamutakudde!
We just opened the Bamutakudde Village Community Park. Endless green, flowing streams, flowers and birds, a kind resident opened his private, lush green space to the entire community to enjoy.
Welcome to Bamutakudde Community Park. A place to breathe, share ideas, break bread, and unite our people.
Welcome home #Bamutakudde
My heart is full. Here to celebrate little wins.
Every Saturday we clean Bamutakudde village together and it's beginning to pay off. Streets are cleaner, homes are cleaner, mindsets are changing. Today we agreed to start sorting waste: recyclables and non-recyclables. Recyclables will be sold, decomposing waste will feed our gardens.
Small steps. Big future.
Judicial officers issuing court orders that derail Uganda’s strategic oil and gas developments risk sabotaging the nation’s economic transformation, the Chief Justice has warned, framing such acts as tantamount to treason.

Dear Honourables @BalaamBarugahar@JustineNameere
RE: CONDUCT OF MINISTERIAL INSPECTIONS AT PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES
The Uganda Medical Association (U.M.A.) acknowledges your Ministry’s commitment to rooting out corruption, absenteeism, and service delivery failures in local government. We share your goal of accountability.
𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, we are deeply concerned about the 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼����𝘀 employed during recent inspections of health facilities; specifically, the presence of television cameras in clinical areas, the public interrogation of health workers, and arrests ordered before allegations have been properly investigated.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀. Filming patients in wards, maternity units, and consultation rooms without informed consent violates the Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Charter, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, and Article 27 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. 𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲.
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺. Finding a health worker away from their station proves nothing without first verifying the duty roster, leave records, night-duty history, and on-call arrangements. Compensatory rest after night duty, annual leave, and sick leave are lawful entitlements under the Employment Act and Article 40 of the Constitution. Accusations of absenteeism must follow verification, not precede it.
𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. Uganda’s public facilities are staffed at roughly a third of established need—34% against Ministry of Health norms, with diagnostic services at 47.7% and medicine availability at 58.9%. Where a worker refers a patient due to a stock-out or missing test, that is a systemic failure, not corruption. The two must be distinguished.
𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. Articles 28 and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the presumption of innocence and a fair hearing. Arrests and public humiliation cannot substitute for proper investigation through established @PoliceUg, public-service, and professional-regulatory channels.
U.M.A therefore recommends that;
- 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮���𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀!!!
- @GovUganda fixes the system and funds recruitment and supplies.
- Humiliation Health Workers stops immediately.
- @MoLGUganda either leaves health facility inspections to @MinofHealthUG and it's organs or requests their active involvement.
𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.
Service with Honour,
Heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS, my dear brother @HonWitonze, on your well-deserved appointment! May God grant you wisdom, strength, and favour every step of the way. Sincere thanks to H.E. @KagutaMuseveni for his visionary leadership and confidence in you. We are truly grateful, sir, may God grant you for us a long health life🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇺🇬
Imagine Losing a Boardroom Fight... to a Shareholder Owning Just 0.45%
"Every shareholder, irrespective of the size of his or her shareholding, is entitled to be informed of meetings at which such decisions are to be taken and afforded an equal opportunity to attend, participate, and vote."
That single statement may become one of the most important pronouncements in Uganda's corporate governance this year.
In Mathew Rukikaire v Garuga Properties Ltd & Others (2026 UGRSB 39) (Consolidated Application No. 82542/18228/03111 of 2026), the Registrar reaffirmed that corporate governance is not governed by shareholding percentages, but by due process.
A shareholder holding just 0.45% successfully challenged the appointment of directors after the Registrar found there was no proof that notices of the Extraordinary General Meetings had ever been served. Simply listing a shareholder's name on a notice was held to be insufficient. If service cannot be proved, the meeting itself is vulnerable.
The consequence was far-reaching: the meetings were declared irregular, the resolutions appointing directors were held null and void ab initio, and the impugned filings were ordered to be expunged from the Companies Register.
Beyond the dispute itself, the ruling delivers three significant lessons for corporate practice:
• Minority shareholders matter. Even the smallest shareholder has enforceable participatory rights.
• Proof of service is indispensable. A notice drafted is not a notice served.
• The integrity of the Companies Register is a public interest issue. The Registrar confirmed that maintaining an accurate register is an independent statutory duty that exists even where related disputes are pending before the High Court.
This decision is a powerful reminder that in corporate law, procedural fairness is not a technicality; it is the foundation upon which valid corporate decisions stand.

Pastor Kayanja promised to grow crops, add nutrients and solve the food problem in Karamoja, after getting the land, he grew sorghum and transported it to UBL in Kampala. He came in the name of the lord only to take our land - Aema Wallace
COURT; Judge Baguma Emmanuel: Since you received the evidence, let us proceed to the next stage. I earlier directed that, should you maintain a difficulty with legal representation, you be furnished with the list of 786 advocates on state brief, from which you were to make your selection. Have you made your choice?
1ST APPLICANT (Col. (Rtd.) Dr. Kizza Besigye): My Lord, I received the list at 6:00 p.m. yesterday. It is an extensive list of 786 advocates, and I respectfully seek the Court’s guidance on how best to make a selection from it while the underlying questions concerning our legal representation remain unresolved.
The Court is well aware that the charges we face are grave and complex, spanning events said to have occurred across four countries. Much of the evidence confronting us is technical and electronic in nature. It is therefore vital, in selecting counsel, that we understand the respective competencies of the advocates named on the list, so that, guided by those competencies, we may make an informed selection.
What has been furnished to us is limited to the advocates’ names, years of enrolment, the jurisdictions or areas in which they practise, and their telephone contacts. This does not disclose their competencies. I accordingly seek the Court’s guidance on how we may be enabled to ascertain those competencies so as to make a proper selection.
Having said that, I wish to reiterate our earlier submission: the legal team we had is one in whose competence we placed full confidence, and which remains available to represent us in this matter once the concerns touching upon its members’ security have been resolved.
Those concerns are the subject of Application No. 248, presently before the High Court. At our last appearance, Your Lordship undertook to ascertain its status. It was filed last month and bears directly upon the matter now before this Court.
Finally, My Lord, it would be an injustice to the people of Uganda to bear the cost of counsel on our behalf when we are able and willing to meet the requirements of counsel of our own choosing — the more so in these hard times, when people are dying of hunger.
Following the Karuhanga–Ssemakadde exchange, I think both men are right about something and wrong about something.
Karuhanga is right that institutions outlast individuals, and that the Bar's credibility is built through consistency, not proclamation. Demanding personal statements from lawyers is a poor substitute for institutional strategy.
But Ssemakadde's underlying complaint isn't really about theatre. When an advocate is abducted for doing his job, silence, dressed up as "neutrality" or "institution-building" is also a position. Institutions are built by people willing to be counted, not just by people willing to wait.
The profession doesn't need less courage or less caution. It needs both, at the same time, from the same people.
An update.
Not braggadocio, though we don’t believe government institutions should win in silence.
I took office just over three months ago.
We had no camera at the Uganda Media Centre, save for a decade-old kind donation from the Chinese.
No still cameras either.
Things are different now.
We now have the best of the best kit! And we are still adding to it.
We have a proper production arm. Photographers, video and audio editors, drone pilots, directors, producers.
For the first time we can also go live from anywhere in the country.
We have built a regional and global network that cuts across newsrooms, research, thought leadership and security.
Our ambition is to build the most efficient, responsive and effective government communications service on the continent.
Our posture?
This is not PR or marketing.
It’s nation building.
.@katanab001: To rationalize abduction and torture by attributing them to indiscipline is as indecent as justifying rape on account of the victim’s dress code.
