As Deputy Leader of Government Business, Dr Crispus Walter Kiyonga, who was appointed to replace his colleague veteran politician, Gen (Rtd) Moses Ali, as the new Second Deputy Prime Minister, faces the immediate task of ending chronic quorum hitches in Parliament. His critical role involves aggressively mobilizing cabinet ministers and NRM Members of Parliament to consistently attend plenary sessions.
This strategic move aims to guarantee the required numbers for passing vital laws and transacting state business smoothly, addressing a frequent hurdle that derailed previous parliamentary sittings.

Thank you. That genuinely means a lot to me.
Jaffer’s Decade was not written from a place of success it was written from the trenches. From the early mornings in Arua when nobody knew the name Joadah. From the moments of doubt that every entrepreneur knows but rarely admits publicly. I wanted it to be a purely African or Ugandan entrepreneurial book which can be understood by an African. We have read too many Bazungu stories.
If something in those pages shifted how you see business and your own potential, then the book has done exactly what I intended it to do.
But let me say this directly to you:
The most important chapter of that book is the one you are about to write yours.
Reading changes perception. Action changes lives. So take whatever shifted in your thinking today and do one concrete thing with it this week. Not next month. This week.
I hear you. And I will not dismiss what you are feeling because you are not wrong about the environment.
Inflation is real. Unemployment is real. The cost of doing business in Uganda today is genuinely painful. I will not stand here and pretend otherwise.
But let me push back on one word you used “impossible.” Impossible means it cannot be done. And that is where I have to respectfully disagree with you because it is being done. Right now. By young people with less than you have, in harder corners of this country than where you are sitting.
I started Joadah in 2007 with my wife Jane. There was no investor. No family money. Uganda was not easy then either. I have seen Basoga and Baganda boys who went to Arua in Lorries, they are selling roasted chicken and Rolex in arua town. Slowly ask them the money they are now making. You will be surprised. They started with nothing.
The question is never whether the environment is hard. The environment in Africa has always been hard. The question is whether you are going to be shaped by the environment or whether you are going to be one of the people who shapes it.
Difficult environments do three things:
They eliminate the uncommitted leaving less competition for you don’t be that uncommited. They force creativity which is the real engine of entrepreneurship. And they create problems at scale which means opportunities at scale for whoever is brave enough to solve them.
The youth who built boda boda online transport businesses during COVID when everything was “impossible” are today running fleets.
So my response to “next to impossible” is simple: Next to impossible still has the word possible in it.
Start there.
