The Executive Director of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), Dr. Barirega Akankwasah, yesterday visited the Kajjansi Wetland, where large-scale illegal activities, mainly the construction of permanent houses, are taking place.
While NEMA has issued restoration orders that could lead to the demolition of more than 100 luxury homes, many Ugandans online have reacted to the move with mixed feelings and skepticism. They are waiting to see whether NEMA will follow through on its promises and take decisive action.

📌 PLEASE NOTE:

1️⃣ Downtown – Remera (ku Cyamitsingi) via Rwandex and Sonatube
2️⃣ Sonatube – Nyanza ya Kicukiro
3️⃣ Downtown – Nyabugogo via City Centre Roundabout
4️⃣ Hotel Gloria – Downtown via Quartier Commercial
✍🏽 Bus lanes are in operation during peak hours:

I have been receiving ex-convicts at court coming to visit me. However, yesterday, I received one who had just been released from prison, and before he went home, he came to visit me. Lord, help me to continue to exercise righteous judgment rooted in humility, truth, and mercy 🙏

Some great news as 2025 draws to a close: Malta 🇲🇹 becomes the 172nd party to ratify the Kigali Amendment! The more countries that commit to this amazing cooling tool and phase-down climate warming HFCs, the more we can reach the potential 0.5°C in avoided warming by the end of the century - double if energy efficiencies are also adopted!!
