Mr Wekesa, I do not believe there is any serious person in Uganda who disputes the importance of tourism to our country's development. Anyone who does is simply ignorant of the sector's immense economic potential.

What people appear to be taking issue with is not your passion and promotion of tourism in Uganda, but your reluctance to fully acknowledge the domestic bottlenecks that continue to suffocate its growth. I have no doubt that you understand Uganda's tourism sector better than almost anyone else. The problem is not about whether tourism matters. The problem may be who you are choosing to blame for its poor performance.

I watched your interview with Solomon Serwanja's "Hard Questions" from 3 years ago on YouTube (I have attached the clip). You spoke extensively about the sector, but one particular response immediately revealed what I believe is the fundamental flaw in your analysis. When asked why Uganda is failing to fully exploit its tourism potential, you responded that the problem is leadership. Fair enough. But then you went on to include not only the NRM government but also opposition politicians.

That is where your argument loses its force.

How do you place equal emphasis on the opposition when one party has exercised state power for over forty years? How do you assign responsibility to those who do not control government policy, government budgets, government agencies, government roads, government infrastructure or government investment priorities? Accountability must follow power. The people who wield power are the people who must answer for the results.

You need to be absolutely clear and single-minded about who bears responsibility for the state of the tourism sector. If there is a problem with leadership, then the burden of that criticism must fall primarily on those who have had the authority and opportunity to address it for decades. Turn your passion for tourism to them.

I also saw your response to one of the comments on one of your posts (the screenshot is attached too). With respect, that is where I think you got it wrong again. It is not you and I who are supposed to fix the economy. That is precisely why countries elect leaders and governments in the first place. Their responsibility is to create a stable, predictable and investment-friendly environment in which businesses can thrive and tourism can flourish.

The tragedy is that many of these leaders know what needs to be done or can access this knowledge. The problem is not ignorance. The problem is priorities. Too often, public resources are diverted into corruption, taxpayer money is stolen, portions of borrowed funds disappear, and poor decisions repeatedly undermine national development.

Let me give a simple example.

The road from Rukungiri to Kanungu Town was upgraded to tarmac. Yet the same road was not extended to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, one of Uganda's most important tourism destinations and the gateway to the mountain gorillas that attract visitors from around the world. The final stretch of roughly 50 kilometres remains in terrible condition.

Why?

Because the political priority was getting to Kanungu Town, not ensuring tourists could comfortably access Bwindi. That decision alone tells you everything about how tourism is treated when infrastructure priorities are being determined.

What frustrates many people is that you interact with individuals at the highest levels of power and influence, yet you often appear unwilling to directly confront them about these failures. You seem comfortable discussing the symptoms, but reluctant to hold the architects of those problems fully accountable.

And I suspect that is the real issue many people have with your commentary.

Tourism is not being held back by a lack of potential. It is being held back by poor political choices, misplaced priorities and a failure of leadership from those who have had the power to act for decades. Until that reality is confronted honestly and directly, Uganda's tourism sector will continue to perform below its true potential. Period.

If you haven't, please spare an hour and a half to watch this conversation between @YusufSerunkuma & @kasujj. By all accounts, an important conversation for the times we are in as Ugandans. The Observer Viewpoint - collaboration between @observerug & @centre4policy - is now a must-watch weekly discussion. Yusuf is doing an impeccable job!

You can qualify to move to Taiwan WITHOUT securing a job offer first.

Taiwan's Employment Gold Card combines a work permit, residence permit, and visa for eligible skilled professionals.

Here's how to apply:
1. Visit https://t.co/HLuK4bLNtx

2. Take the qualification check. Eligible fields include science, technology, education, finance, and others.

3. Identify the professional category you qualify under and review its exact requirements.

4. Prepare your passport, recent photograph, and documents proving your qualifications or achievements.

5. Create an account on the online application platform, upload your documents, and pay the application fee.

6. Complete the required reviews and passport verification before collecting your Gold Card.
The card can be issued for 1–3 years and doesn't tie you to a single employer.

IMPORTANT: This is for professionals who meet specific eligibility criteria, not an unrestricted job-seeker visa.

Russia’s deceptive recruitment of African nationals to fight in its war of aggression against #Ukraine has dire consequences!

[Daily Monitor @DailyMonitor]

UPDATE: One person has been killed and others injured in clashes among suspected rebel groups in Morobo County, South Sudan. Koboko Deputy RDC Marijani Wailaire says the fighting broke out at around 9am, leaving three people with gunshot wounds. Some of the injured reportedly crossed into Uganda and were evacuated by the UPDF to Koboko Hospital for treatment, as authorities warn residents against crossing the border amid the fragile security situation.
