As a man, what could genuinely make you stop supporting your children, especially when it comes to paying their school fees?
You can have all the differences in the world with their mother, but nothing should ever be used as an excuse to abandon your children.
As one with little knowledge of public health... Uganda direction to minimize and or miscommunicate public health threats in the name of the economy is bad....but also are the travel restrictions imposed on us that May be unfair. Uganda being an under dog
I observed people leaping to generalisations and missing the core point. The operation I mentioned is in respect to Executive Order No. 03 of 2023.
The order covers areas in West Nile, Northern Uganda, Karamoja, and Teso sub-regions.
The operation is ongoing, and this time round it extended to those doing trade along roadsides, those that buy from them, who in my wisdom should be notified so that they don’t fall prey to our operations only to feign ignorance.
@AllanSseky Where does the revenue that telecom companies claim to have lost gone? That money doesn't actually leave Uganda for South Africa, France & India. Instead, it's spent on essentials like groceries, housing, tuition, and clothing.
@AllanSseky There is a difference btn tax collectors & taxpayers. The biggest taxpayers are consumers who purchase data. Telecos collect & remit them to govt. In that sense telecos are among the biggest tax collection agents but the money they remit is collected from Ugandans buying airtime
Frank wanted attention and he knew exactly how to get it and he knows exactly what he was doing. He planed to make himself the conversation in many of the pulpits. Sadly many fell for it and he got what he wanted. He will not stop. I am not sure how and why it was difficult to choose to ignore Frank. All that was needed is leaving him alone and denying the one thing he wanted: Attention!
How is Frank getting more attention from many pulpits than Christ? How?
Why would Frank rattle anyone?
Yesterday, I met with medical interns and leaders of the Uganda Medical Association, led by their President, Dr. Frank Asiimwe, at State House Entebbe.
I committed to supporting the UMA SACCO to enable health workers to access affordable credit, upgrade their skills and create opportunities to employ themselves. This is a practical way of empowering our medical professionals.
I also directed that the policy requiring medical students to complete internship before graduating be corrected. Graduation and housemanship are separate processes, and we should not waste time by mixing the two.
On interns’ allowances, we shall continue consultations while ensuring that our decisions are guided by affordability and sustainability.
I also support the proposal for tax relief for health workers and improved access to essential, life supporting items.
Our goal is to build a strong health sector with skilled, motivated and empowered professionals who can deliver quality healthcare to all Ugandans.
@NewtonAllan6 Hahaha....I k kw how those saccos work....the top management gate keep that money... except if this will be a different case..plus ...after expect some arrests accountability issues...just being a devil's advocate
MENTORSHIP 🇺🇬
One year ago, I made a commitment to start a mentorship program aimed at exposing medical students and early-career doctors (Acute Medical Officers), to research opportunities.
Having gone through medical school in Uganda 🇺🇬, I witnessed firsthand how many talented medical students and young doctors miss out on research opportunities that could transform their careers simply because they lack the exposure, mentorship, and access to these opportunities.
I knew I wanted to do something about it.
Today, exactly one year later, I am proud to share that, through the support of my nonprofit organization, @ReachApac, the first cohort of mentees has contributed to a published scientific paper.
Over 20 more mentees remain to be in publications soon.
This mentorship is entirely free. Not a single mentee pays a penny. The only investment required is their time, commitment, and willingness to learn.
Looking back, this has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling journeys of my career. It has taken patience, sacrifice, and consistency, but seeing young colleagues gain research experience, contribute to scientific knowledge, and position themselves for opportunities beyond their immediate environment makes every effort worthwhile.
My dream is to help build a generation of Ugandan physicians who are not only consumers of scientific evidence but also contributors to the research that shapes the future of medicine

System everywhere are implemented for good..but they sometimes cause problems....hence system redesigns after evaluation....in a country where people don't want to think.... systems kill.
I honestly think that only those who have never worked in government (under NRM) think that you can make a significant difference by working in government (under NRM).
