Rt. Hon. Kadaga: Trusted Leadership Anchoring EAC’s Growth

Arusha, 23 June 2026 , No sooner had Rt. Hon. @RebeccaKadagaUG arrived in Arusha than she went straight into meetings that culminated in her presentation of the @jumuiya (EAC) Budget for the Financial Year 2026/2027 before the East African Legislative Assembly.

Her speech reflected both urgency and diligence, backed by hard numbers. She reported that despite global headwinds, the EAC economies grew by 5.8% in 2025, outperforming the global average of 3.4% and Sub‑Saharan Africa’s 4.5%. Growth is projected to rise further to 6.0% in 2026, driven by agriculture, services, and regional trade.

Trade figures underscored the region’s resilience: intra‑EAC trade surged by 28% to USD 19.3 billion, while exports to the rest of the world jumped 37.5% to USD 77 billion. The trade deficit narrowed dramatically from USD 13 billion in 2024 to just USD 2.6 billion in 2025, a sign of stronger regional production linkages.

Kadaga also highlighted achievements in integration and social impact. Over 12,500 patients received specialised treatment through EAC Centres of Excellence, including 270 kidney transplants and more than 12,000 cancer treatments. In fisheries, regional operations removed 47,110 illegal gears from Lake Victoria, while 5,535 boats were licensed to strengthen compliance.

The FY 2025/2026 budget stood at USD 113.8 million, channelled into peace and security, customs union reforms, climate resilience, and visibility of the Community. The new budget builds on these priorities, ensuring value for money and alignment with regional objectives.

As Chairperson of the EAC Council of Ministers, Rt. Hon. Kadaga continues to oversee policy direction, harmonisation of frameworks, and coordination among partner states. Her swift transition from arrival to plenary reaffirmed her reputation as a trusted, hardworking leader ,one who ensures East Africa’s integration agenda remains firmly on course. @EA_Bunge

Our engineers will advise me. If it means buildings must relocate. They will relocate. But we cannot be on the two lanes the British built in 1958 in 2026. Hakuna!

I am honoured to have joined President @KagutaMuseveni today for the signing of a landmark agreement between @UG_Airlines and @Boeing for the acquisition of 10 new aircraft. This marks a major step in expanding Uganda’s aviation capacity and strengthening global connectivity.

The fleet expansion, covering both passenger and cargo aircraft, will boost trade, tourism, and investment, and position Uganda as a key aviation hub in the region.

Elon Musk identified which jobs go first, and it destroys every assumption about who’s safe.

Musk: “AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning. Anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something.”

Not factory workers. Office workers. The people who spent decades assuming education and desk jobs meant security are actually first.

Musk: “Anything that’s physically moving atoms… those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”

Output is a file? Vulnerable. Output is physical? Protected. That’s the entire framework.

Musk: “AI is really still digital.”

AI doesn’t need a body. Doesn’t need an office. Just needs access to the same software you use. Executes faster. Never tires. Costs nothing to scale.

But it can’t weld. Can’t wire a building. Can’t fix pipes or work soil.

Musk: “Literally welding, electrical work, plumbing. Those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”

Trades aren’t the vulnerable jobs. They’re the durable ones. Physical presence, real-world adaptation, manual dexterity provide protection no digital credential offers.

Analyst, accountant, paralegal, programmer, anyone producing files and documents, automates first because digital work is exactly what AI does natively.

Person moving atoms has natural defense. Physics, unpredictable environments, material resistance create friction AI can’t scale past.

Person moving bits has nothing. No friction. No physical barrier. Just software AI already operates better than most humans.

The assumption that desk work and degrees represent safety just inverted completely. College graduate producing documents faces faster displacement than the electrician producing installations.

Society spent generations telling people trades were beneath them. Pushed everyone toward offices and screens. Turns out the people who didn’t listen built the most automation-resistant careers.

Most ironic outcome of the AI revolution. The work society treated as inferior turned out to be the work society couldn’t replace. And the work society valued most turned out to be the easiest to eliminate.

@UEDCLTD @KabagambeHassa1 I womder who taught handlder of UEDCL this kind of response. Its now almost a month ever since I reported network issue at my residence but give that unprofessional response like you see what they told Hassan. It is unfortunate!

[Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Ltd @UEDCLTD]

@KabagambeHassa1 Dear Hassan, apologies for the delays, issue has been escalated to our area engineer, let us follow through and ensure resolution. JN

[Liiki Samuel @liikisam]

Sorry! But this is not an issue of closeness to the building but not having engineered structures to withstand such forces as the one that is being witnessed now sudden collapse of the structure around its joints according to the photo posted speaks to wrong engineering and workmanship.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Regarding this Parliament, I have been patient before, but this term there will be no room for leaders who seek titles without helping the people they lead. I am directing NRM leaders to return to the parishes and ensure that existing government programmes are lifting people out of poverty. I do not want to hear excuses about poverty while solutions already exist. Ministers and government officials who fail in this responsibility will be held accountable. This is Kisanja no sleep . Enough is enough.

Museveni: You’re busy watching Arsenal instead of focusing on our historical missions, including prosperity, economic integration, strategic security and political federation.

Your Excellency,
I write as a proud Pan-African and ardent supporter of your visionary ideologies to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering leadership and steadfast support for indigenous initiatives especially in the transformative field of industrialisation. In your statement, delivered with the fire of a freedom fighter who at 82 still wields the Bible, the AK-47, and the pen, is a powerful reaffirmation of the patriotic spirit that continues to guide Uganda and inspire the continent.
Your bold defence of home-grown innovation and value addition reminds every Pan-African that true development must spring from our own soil and resources, not from imported models that keep Africa trapped as a mere supplier of raw materials. You have consistently championed the shift toward industrial self-reliance, import-substitution, and export promotion, proving that even occasional setbacks in this march forward are far better than remaining in the neo-colonial doldrums.
Under your guidance, Uganda is breaking those chains and building genuine economic sovereignty. Your steadfast commitment to patriotism, Pan-Africanism, social-economic transformation, and democracy undeterred by critics or foreign agents continues to drive our progress and deliver prosperity for our people.
As you teach us, persistent effort and learning from every challenge turn failure into success. At a time when Uganda’s economy advances despite global headwinds, your leadership proves that Aluta Continua is not a slogan but a living reality. Victory is indeed certain.
Thank you, Mr. President, for your steady hand, your defence of Uganda’s future, and your unshakeable belief in African self-reliance. Your example continues to light the path for a fully industrialised, sovereign, and prosperous Uganda and Africa as a continent.
Yours in Pan-Africanism,
A Grateful Supporter

This is exactly what has kept us in colonialism prison. You fancy English language more than content and at least I know the 3 fastest growing economies in the world are not English speaking countries and they have managed to go to the moon and take lead in the global race for supremacy in AI. You with your forged accents have remained with torn Kaki envelopes carried in armpits searching for what to do with your excellent English speaking skills. I wish you well.

In June 2013, I wanted to contest for the @OfficialFUFA Presidency. The law was quickly amended to keep me out. I am back to say I am still available for that task. I can bring about the footballing glory all we Ugandans dream of. Time to save our football from thieves. Let’s take back our game

ELON MUSK: Earth is Tiny. The Future is Space.

Human civilization uses only a tiny fraction of the Sun’s energy. Even if humanity used a million times more energy, it would still be extremely small compared to the Sun’s power.

The Sun dominates the solar system, holding around 99.8% of its total mass.
Everything outside the Sun is almost insignificant when measured against the Sun’s scale and energy.

Earth-based civilization has a natural limit because our planet’s resources are small compared to what exists in space.

To grow civilization in a truly meaningful way, humanity has to expand beyond Earth.

Space is not optional for long-term growth — it is the next step for civilization.

The security forces under the direction and instructions of the Commander-in-Chief launched Operation 'Maliza Ufisadi' the other day. We shall expand this operation and apprehend all culprits. No one will be spared.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.

I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.

I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.
