Today, Maama Janet and I received international evangelist, Bishop Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn at State House Entebbe. She is in Uganda ahead of the consecration of Pastor Patience Rwabwogo as a Bishop.
Dr. Osborn recalled her first visit to Uganda in 1985 with her late mother, who ministered to many Ugandans during a difficult period in our history. Maama Janet also fondly recalled Dr. Osborn’s mother, who prayed with our family and gave our children their first Bibles.
We reflected on Uganda’s transformation over the years and the enduring friendship between the Osborn family and Uganda. I welcome Dr. Osborn back to Uganda and wish Pastor Patience a blessed consecration.

Local Government Ministers Balaam Barugahara and Justine Nameere have called for the arrest of a road contractor, the town engineer, the town clerk, and the internal auditor in Bulambuli after they allegedly received UGX 500 million to construct a bridge but only poured soil at the site.
This evening, I concluded my inspection at Nabumali Senior Secondary School, where I uncovered serious irregularities.
Government is providing funding under the Universal Secondary Education (USE) programme for close to 1,000 students, yet during my visit, I personally conducted a physical headcount in every class and found only 240 students present.
This raises serious questions. What are the local leaders doing? Where are the Inspector of Schools, the District Education Officer (DEO), and all the other responsible officials? Who is benefiting from the funds allocated for students who are not there?
I also established that students are being charged between UGX 71,000 and UGX 110,000. Who authorized these charges in a government USE school?
These allegations point to possible abuse of public funds and violations of government policy. The State House anti-corruption unit and other responsible authorities will investigate these matters thoroughly, and anyone found culpable should be held accountable in accordance with the law.

@BalaamBarugahar Thanks hon. Minister for the inspection exercise, it's better that way because abnormalities can be rectified as early as possible in case of any!!
@JustineNameere@nbstv Thanks hon. Minister, induction for leaders is key and should be emphasized in all levels including the new recruits into service.
