Kenya's headstart in technological investment is what has unlocked new value in banking, finance, logistics, tourism, etc.
Technology & communication are literally the table on which everyone is playing.
If you're not creating new value, you're out of the game.

I have never met Amos Wekesa, though I pass by his company premises frequently. I would like to commend his devotion to and promotion of tourism. It’s true that tourism is his source of income but he is also happy doing what he does. I don’t know whether there is a medal for doing what he does but definitely he deserves a medal.
I am writing this after seeing him on UBC with a large group of people at the Equator monument at Kikongoro near Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The Rwenzori Marathon is becoming something special and will become bigger and he has some great contribution in publicizing it.
If everyone contributes in their area like Amos does in his, the country would be very far.
Cheers Amos.
In 2022, a 15 yr old Khaman Maluach came to the store with the NBA academy for a talk. As we were taking his measurements he kept repeating, "Keep them for when I go to the NBA." What appeared as banter was a statement of intent. I'm inspired by his hard work and conviction 🙌🏾.
Only for the @URSBHQ automated system not to allow me to wait for the next available agent. Tried three times because you UG you never know, went back to WhatsApp, got automated response to keep my complaint for tomorrow 8am - 5pm..
@URSBHQ I have spent the whole day trying to access my Co.'s portal, spoken to what it seems two agents via WhatsApp, finally advised to call directly, system didn't recognise my @Airtel_Ug no., so thank God I have two lines, because Ug you never know, so i use @mtnug ......
Dear Uganda government,as a concerned citizen,i suggest that you should open up an Institute where whoever wants to work as a boda boda should first go through it.Some of the things to be taught in the institute are traffic rules like adhering to traffic lights,riding on the left side of the road,manners on the road,wearing helmets,carrying one person etc.
One should be allowed to buy a boda after gaining a certificate from the institution and that’s what should be presented before buying a bike and if stopped by police at any given time.
I guess this will help in cubbing a good percentage of the ongoing road accidents,robbery and many more being brought by the boda bodas.
In Sports there are the usual athletics stars from Kenya, Ethiopia, Morocco and Uganda. But we need to commend in a special way the unexpected performance of South Sudan Basketball team in FIBA World Cup in Manila and also the recent Uganda Women Netball Team performance. Congs.
We have received the court judgement regarding Hon Francis Zaake’s removal from the Parliamentary Commission.
The judgement recognises the report of the Committee on Rules & Privileges but faulted the Plenay Process.
We respect the decision of court and we will study it and act in accordance with the law.
I spent the afternoon in Mbale with my daughter Natasha, and grandson Mugina, retracing the history of FRONASA, which in time grew into the NRM. Natasha is recording this history for the generation of the Bazzukulu.
How does it take 2 months to get a certified Company Form 1 from @URSBHQ. You can't open a bank account without this Form. While "fixing" corruption, you create another avenue to maintain it. To be in this system becomes harder and harder.
In one sitting i have called @mtnug customer care, @URAuganda customer care and @PPDAUganda customer care. I might have been assisted but there is a problem. Things should just WORK SEEMLESSLY .
@KCCAUG if it's not a pot whole, it's the neighborhood bar making noise. This planning that you are mandated to do, do you actually implement it. This is a silent killer.
