Who saw him running a motor vehicle show on TV? Wow. I thought this dude must be the best I have seen. Even better than grand prix commentators. He spoke so fast, so accurate & made one almost place an order for the car he was talking about.

Fast forward, he was into sports news. A few months later, he was bossing one of the best shows on television in this country.

His football knowledge is so impeccable that you would think he reads every sports search engine in the world. Nothing he says including predictions goes against him. Only those of @ManUtd because he uses his heart more than his knowledge.

He spearheaded a twitter space sponsored by Super Sport. He was kind enough to have me among others to discuss mainly EPL. This endeared many football twitter users who I could tell used the knowledge for football odds.

Before we all knew it, he was gracing the World Cup arenas making live studios for Africa. Russia, Qatar, & the Americas, he never missed. We couldn’t wait to glean over World Cup news especially the off the field one.

Seeing him host African stars on SS for Champions League games is refreshing. It’s like he’s been doing this for many seasons.

He speaks fast without making any single howler. He oozes confidence, knowledge, and stage presence. His sense of humor is unmatched. Some of us miss his Runyankore skits.

For those close to him, he’s not into football only. He’s into basketball, boxing, marathon, anything sports.

His name is @andrewkabuura. Andrew, you make us proud as Ugandans. What do I think you will soon have permanent presence at SS or BBC sport? Who knows? I feel you haven’t revved even 50% of you football engine. Man, I respect you a lot.

God bless you Andrew & your beautiful family. Kindly accept your flowers. @nextmediaug @NBSportUg

Today our team at the @TourismBoardUg along with our valued stakeholders and partners, had the privilege of participating in the Elgon Half Marathon. This event highlights the incredible natural beauty and biodiversity of Mt. Elgon National Park, a destination rich in tourism potential and essential to our conservation efforts.

With Hon. Tom Butime, Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Ms. Nwanne Vwede-Obahor, UNDP Resident Representative for Uganda, and world champion Halima Nakaayi joining us to flag off the run, we celebrated more than just physical health. We underscored the importance of climate action, community inclusion in tourism, and the critical need to eliminate gender-based violence.

It is events like these that remind us of the transformative power of tourism and conservation for our communities and our country.
