Government of Uganda employs about 480,000 civil servants. There are other public servants not under civil service like the UPDF & agencies that support civil service.
All these make government employ less than a million people. We’re 50m Ugandans with 1.8-2m young people between 18-30 years old unemployed, while nearly 45-49% are categorized as NEET( Not in Education, Employment or Training).
You’re at home & it’s been years expecting to join civil service. Come on. Create your own job.
Supply something to those in the civil service. It could be food items or dry ration or window curtains. Put a washing bay somewhere.
Do online trade. Big people don’t go down town. Take shoes, undershirts, underwear to them.
I have never seen salons & barbershops near government agencies. Why? Put an executive hair saloon near a ministry headquarters.
Deal in agro-based produce. Farmers are stick with produce. Find some market & do food supply chain management.
Stand in the gap as middlemen & earn. Buy the coffee. Supply it. Buy hides & skins of cows & goats slaughtered in towns & villages. Dry them & supply to the Basajja Balabas of this world.
You can earn better than those occupying government jobs. Business needs connections. Yes. Not based on tribe, education, religion, or region. The language of business is profits.
I know you will ask me about capital. Where do you get millions you lay to people to connect you to government jobs? Go to cozy restaurants & bars. It’s young unemployed or semi-employed that spend millions a week there.
Open your eyes please! You don’t need a government job to live well & better. You need your brains to work. Many of those who worked in government till retirement, go home with nothing. They live a very lonely & poor lives. Is that what you aspire to be?
Zukuka. Zibuka. Wake up!
I think @SolomonSerwanjj brings back the idea of what LC 1 chairman was envisaged in the late heady eighties when RCs were real political authority. The days when they ensured “essential goods” reached everyone equally & were shared fairly. When service was done for the public. Here is to many more Serwanjjas taking servant leadership closer to the people at the grassroots 💪🏿
@nssfug The picture looks great. But the rates given to savers have remained below the prevailing market rates (at least Unit Trust for basic comparison).
@nbstv@mnamayo2 With about 70-80% of MPs not returning to Parliament every 5 years, we are talking about 400MPs per term. This implies that the benefits this group is claiming for will probably target about 2,000 - 3, 000 surviving former Legislatures who have failed to take care of themselves!
PSG is an example of what young people
can do when old people get out of their way.
Sadly we won’t learn this lesson - and they’ll continue to be lectured about a world they understand perfectly by people whose world has long passed!
@AgoraCFR@StatisticsUg Does this partly explain the anomalies so far observed with the Census results? Inadequacies in preparation, execution, and validation of results! Despite the release of the funds, many complaints related to delayed or non-payment of enumerators have been reported.
@KaribwijePhill2@bkabumba@JudiciaryUG@ac_owinydollo The performance of Judiciary is inversely proportional to the salary! Supreme Court and Constitutional Court/Court of Appeal complete an average of 2 and 18 cases, respectively, on a weekly basis! The rate at which backlog accumulates will ensure total denial of justice!
It’s been amazing and humbling to see the response inspired by #NTVNews@ntvuganda coverage of Night Ampurire’s story. A reminder of our humanity and connectedness as we celebrated her resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Thank you @ntvuganda. Your connection with Night Ampurire and committment to tell her story has reminded us that while helping one person might not change the world, it might change the world for that one person!
Someone told me Ampurire, means "He (God) has heard me." So to all the women working tirelessly to support their families and make ends meet, let Night’s story remind you that your efforts are seen and valued. Keep pushing forward— your day will come.

@DhakabaKigongo How can a normal human being participate in 5000M, 10,000M and a Marathon in within a period of about days? Yet 5000 had preliminary round (heats)!
@AllanDarren This was a star-studded line-up! Any of the top 5 had a realistic chance to win it! Any medal for Chemutai is a great achievement! We appreciate her endurance and passion to achieve more! Many of the medalists in the last event failed to gain similar success.
