Dear Minister @CHRISBARYOMUNS1,
Twenty-four hours after you proudly announced that you addressed world leaders, Uganda is still waiting to hear even a snippet of that speech.
According to the official summit website (https://t.co/F7bImjL1Zh), your name appears nowhere on the speakers’ list — but perhaps that’s just a minor oversight.
We’ve seen contributions and visibility from some members of your delegation, such as Ms. Irene Sekitoleko, yet there has been silence from you and the other twelve disciples.
Surely there must be at least a teaser — a clip, an excerpt, a paragraph? @MoICT_Ug — this is precisely the kind of content that should be on your official website. AI is not a ribbon-cutting ceremony or a photo opportunity. It is a foundational shift in global power structures. Ugandans deserve to know how prepared — or unprepared — they are under your stewardship. Unless, of course, the speech is still buffering. We’ll check again tomorrow if anything was uploaded

Kampala needs a new kind of leadership: one that prioritizes practical, forward-thinking solutions. As an engineer, Balimwezo brings the skills to tackle the city's challenges head-on, from traffic congestion to sustainable urban planning.
“… The circumstances around Museveni’s advancing age in a presidentialist state are characteristic of what happens in a household of an ageing father that had organised the running of the home around himself.
If he is not willing to relinquish some of his powers to members of his family, either much of the work goes undone or the family members start to position themselves to exploit his vulnerability to take whatever they can …
To a considerable extent, he is trapped now. His own security lies in their hands. In the power struggle that might ensue, the old man starts hearing competing narratives (call it ‘intelligence’) from different members of the family that position themselves to ‘eat’ from him.
The spirit of the home becomes that of ‘okubaza mzee’ (duping the old man). That is how he starts contradicting himself. Today he acts according to word from one member of the family, tomorrow he realises that he was lied to.
Yet still, he doesn’t want ‘outsiders’ to know that he is losing grip of his family. He still has to put up a public façade of being in charge, even when the body obviously shows otherwise…”

On a day like this, I deeply reflect and listen to this piece by @FrankWALUSIMBI Walusimbi. Listen to this a couple of times, and it will communicate too. If it does, then share it widely.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani thanks his parents and family in Kampala in rousing acceptance speech.
"Thank you to my wife Rama, for being my best friend, and for always showing me the beauty in everyday things."
So @DailyMonitor dedicated a whole three pages of the Sunday Monitor to sharing my life journey with the world
Please help me appreciate them 😊
Thank you so much Daily Monitor and nation media group, I’m so grateful 🙏🏼
