Some build mansions with borrowed tears,
counting stolen coins like they buried time itself.
But the ground keeps records, and walls can whisper.
A hand may hide the harvest for a season,
yet the sun still rises over every hidden field.
What belongs to the people walks in circles
.Uganda will mark its 64th Independence Day on October 9 with a largely virtual ceremony at State House Entebbe.

.Hon. Jesca Ababiku (Adjumani) rejects claims that the soaring fuel prices are a result of the recently passed Sovereignty Bill. “Fuel prices are not only affecting Uganda. So how is the Sovereignty law approved by this House affecting Kenya or South Sudan? As East Africa, we know that external factors are the ones affecting fuel prices.” #ChimpReportsNews @ChimpReports
.Leader of the Opposition, Hon. @JoelSsenyonyi, has raised concern over Uganda’s low fuel reserves, noting that the country’s reserves in Jinja have a storage capacity of 30 million litres against daily consumption of about 6.5 million litres, meaning the available stock could sustain the country for no more than five days. #ChimpReportsNews @ChimpReports
.According to Energy Minister Dr Musenero, the weakening Uganda Shilling is a major domestic factor driving up the landed cost of petroleum products, falling from about Shs3,790 per US dollar at the beginning of September 2026 to about Shs4,035 by October 5. She added that the price pressures have also been compounded by the Shs200-per-litre increase in excise duty on petrol and diesel under the Excise Duty (Amendment) Act, 2026, which took effect on July 1. #ChimpReportsNews @ChimpReports
