PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE KISOTA ZONE BUILDING COLLAPSE – 06 JUNE 2026
Preliminary investigations have revealed the following findings:
1. The structure appears to have been constructed within the last 8 to 10 weeks & had reached the 4th floor level at the time of collapse. 1/1
Today, I wish to recognize and honor our Mother of the Nation, Mama @JanetMuseveni , for being the vision bearer behind UWESO and many other life changing initiatives that have transformed the lives of countless Ugandans, especially orphans, vulnerable children, women, and youth.
Her unwavering commitment to education, community development, family values, and the empowerment of future generations has left a lasting impact on our country. Through decades of dedicated service, she has inspired hope, restored dignity, and created opportunities for many who would otherwise have been left behind.
Thank you, Mama Janet, for your selfless leadership, compassion, and steadfast service to Uganda. May God continue to bless you with wisdom, strength, and good health as you serve our nation.
“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” -Proverbs 31:28

We are pleased to join fellow partners and stakeholders at the Fundraising Breakfast hosted by PIBID/@birdcuganda at Mwesigwa Resort, ahead of the Olympic Day – Tooke Run scheduled for June 20, 2026 at Bushenyi Sports Ground with H.E. @KagutaMuseveni as the Chief Runner.
We are equally encouraged by the growing link between nutrition and sports development being championed through this initiative. Under the leadership of Rev. Prof. @floriemura, Nutrition Ambassador to @Official_UOC, the Olympic Day – Tooke Run is helping raise awareness about the critical role nutrition plays in athletic performance, youth development, and healthy communities.
In 1981, a United States professor was conducting research for a book that she later published in 1988. She sat down with workers during a meal in the United States and discussed the possibility of machines taking over in the future.

You made us proud bro. Whereas @SuperSportTV has unlocked the gem in you, they’ve also gotten their missing link at last! You brought unparalled passion to the show.
Aligning where & how food is produced with water availability can unlock major gains — higher yields, stronger livelihoods, more jobs & less pressure on ecosystems.
The solutions exist. The priority now is to scale them.

The population served increased from 15 million to 20 million people, with annual turnover rising significantly from UGX 385 billion to UGX 649 billion. Customer satisfaction has remained stable at 80 percent, reflecting sustained service delivery improvements.
Looking ahead to 2030, NWSC aims to increase the population served to 26 million people, while expanding its pipeline network by 500 kilometres and delivering 60,000 new connections annually. The Corporation also targets a reduction in non-revenue water from 34 percent to 28 percent, alongside growth in annual turnover to UGX 768 billion.

The inspirational story of James Mulwana (RIP)
Nearly every Ugandan has used a Nice pen, a plastic mug, or a jerrycan. The man who built this reality was the legendary James Mulwana, one of East Africa's finest business minds. Before the corporate boardrooms, rumors suggest he even worked as a bouncer at the famous Suzana nightclub in Nakulabye.
Mulwana was an early hustler who initially ran a mail-order business exporting wooden combs to the UK. His major turning point came when his friend, Dr. William Kalema, convinced him that manufacturing was the future. This connection led him to partner with a British company to manufacture motor batteries right here in Kampala.
From there, his vision expanded massively. He established what is now Nice House of Plastics, becoming the first to manufacture toothbrushes in Africa. He eventually took full ownership of Uganda Batteries Limited, and his plastic production diversified into tableware, packaging, and agricultural sprayers.
His ambition did not stop at industrial manufacturing. In 1986, Mulwana started Jesa Mixed Farm with just 82 Friesian cows, later adding a fully-fledged milk processing plant in 1994. He also co-founded Nsimbe Estates to export cut flowers, proving his incredible versatility as an entrepreneur.
Tragically, Uganda lost this business icon when he passed away on January 15, 2013, at the age of 76. However, unlike many local enterprises that unfortunately collapse after the founder's death, the Mulwana Group of Companies has thrived well into 2026. Under the leadership of his family, including his son Geoffrey and daughter Barbara, the empire has only grown stronger.
Today, Jesa Farm Dairy is a dominant powerhouse across East Africa, operating a state-of-the-art plant that produces premium yoghurt, butter, and fresh milk. Nice House of Plastics and Uganda Batteries also remain absolute market leaders. Mulwana once credited his success to the contribution of many people, and his timeless legacy continues to employ and inspire thousands of Ugandans today.
I hope this story taught you something 🤝
