Today, I joined H.E. the President in welcoming international evangelist Bishop Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn to State House Entebbe.
It was a special and deeply nostalgic meeting for me as I remembered her late mother, who visited our family many years ago. She prayed with us and gave each of our children their first Bible, together with one of her books. The memories of that visit remain very precious to our family.
#UPDATE | Tune in and be part of the conversation.

WATCH🔼 | And for individuals like Hon Dr @DrWakida, who advocates for corrupt government employees to be served with bread and butter, this is terrible. Can he apply the same level of energy to oversee government projects within his jurisdiction? Should we assume that everything is functioning properly in his constituency? He shouldn't be investigated. Dear Hon Minister @BalaamBarugahar, @JustineNameere, and @HonByamukama, continue apprehending corrupt officials by any means necessary. There should be no leniency or special procedures in dealing with thieves. #KisanjaNoMoreCorruption #KisanjaNoMorePoliteness #ExposeCorruption | @Parliament_Ug
UPDATE | The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen @mkainerugaba, has urged commanders of the Special Forces Command (SFC) to embrace rapid technological advances in military operations to effectively counter modern warfare challenges. Gen Kainerugaba made the remarks while presiding over the official handover and takeover ceremony at the SFC headquarters in Entebbe, where Maj Gen David Mugisha formally handed over command to Maj Gen @AsaphMweteise Nyakikuru, following the latter’s recent appointment and promotion to Major General.
The SFC is a specialized component of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) tasked with executing special missions at a moment’s notice, securing key national installations, and protecting the President and the first family.
In his address, the CDF implored commanders to constantly study the changing global security landscape and adopt modern technological methods of warfare.
Reflecting on the unit’s growth, he recalled commencing his own military training in 1994 at Sera Kasenyi Training School when infrastructure and resources were minimal and commended officers for building the SFC from its roots as the Presidential Protection Unit (PPU) into a formidable force.
The CDF also extended gratitude to God and to His Excellency the President for strategic leadership over the UPDF.
Gen Kainerugaba congratulated both commanders, commending Maj Gen Mugisha for his leadership as he departs to attend the National Defence College (NDC) course abroad, while expressing confidence in Maj Gen Mweteise’s leadership ahead.
In his handover remarks, Maj Gen Mugisha expressed gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief and the CDF for the opportunity to serve and further his professional training. Accepting the mantle, Maj Gen Mweteise thanked the CDF for his mentorship and ongoing support to the entire @MODVA_UPDF.
The ceremony was attended by top military leadership, including the Chief of the Joint Staff, Lt Gen Jack Bakasumba; Chief of Defence Intelligence and Security, Maj Gen Richard Otto; Joint Staff Finance, Brig Gen Robert Mugabe, Chief of Staff SFC Brig Gen Mango Baraza, Joint Staff Training and Doctrine representative – Col Susan Lakot alongside SFC group, brigade commanders, and directors.| @ChrisOMagezi@cdfupdf@TrillUganda@MwesigyeFranks@kakensaug@JackieAkampwera

UPDATE | Uganda is accelerating its industrial transformation with a clear focus on value addition, expanded markets, competitiveness and affordable energy.
At the 3rd Annual Industrialisation Conference 2026, Hon. @STanna444, Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, highlighted the progress made by Uganda’s manufacturing and industrial sectors, which now contribute 16.5% and 27.2% to GDP, respectively, with manufactured exports earning about USD 1.1 billion annually.
Government’s industrialisation agenda prioritises agro-based, extractive-based and knowledge-intensive industries, while supporting increased production capacity, value addition, regional industrial parks, access to finance, reliable electricity, infrastructure development and market access through EAC, COMESA & AfCFTA.
The Minister also announced the development of the National Industries Register and National Industrial Manufacturing Information System (NIMIS), a comprehensive, geo-referenced database that will provide reliable industrial data to strengthen planning, investment, infrastructure development and targeted government support.
Uganda will also host the 3rd Regional Industrialisation Conference (RIC 2026) on 18–19 September 2026, bringing together governments, investors, private-sector leaders and development partners to translate industrial policy into concrete investments, regional production ecosystems & globally competitive African industries.
The conference will feature an Industrial Champions Dialogue, providing practical lessons on mobilising long-term capital, overcoming structural barriers, building competitive manufacturing enterprises and leveraging AfCFTA to scale African industrial champions.
Uganda’s industrial transformation is moving from policy to implementation, creating jobs, expanding value addition, strengthening exports and positioning the country for a USD 500 billion economy. #RIC2026 @mtic_uganda@GovUganda
