It gives me great joy to address you this afternoon on yet another milestone in the Digitization journey of our country. Over the years, Government of Uganda has prioritized ICT as a catalyst for not only improving its efficiency in delivery of public services but for overall socio-economic development

Brigadier General Deus Sande, the Commander of the UPDF Armoured Brigade has encouraged church members of St. John Mary Vianney Catholic Church, Rakai District to embrace government programs like the Parish Development Model(PDM) and Emyooga which are aimed at alleviating poverty.

President Museveni is currently in the Russian city of St Petersburg to participate in the second Russia-Africa summit. During the summit, he met with a committee from the African peace initiative that had previously held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin in an effort to mediate and resolve the crisis in Ukraine

In the latest episode of political shenanigans, the National Association of Bullies (NAB) has valiantly risen to the occasion yet again, this time to ensure that the Underwhelming Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) stays firmly planted in its feeble position in the media spaces. Why embrace progress and change when you can bask in the warm glow of stagnancy, right?

Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba has urged Parish Development Model (PDM) beneficiaries in the Mityana district to use the money as expected.

Contrary to Kalinaki's opinion, increased government support can actually contribute to UBC's independence and accountability. Adequate financial backing would alleviate UBC's debt burden, enabling the broadcaster to operate more autonomously and foster professional integrity. Transparent mechanisms for oversight and monitoring, strengthened by collaboration with NAB, can ensure that UBC remains accountable to the public's interests.

To truly understand the motives behind the NAB boycott, one must consider the broader context of Uganda's media environment. The introduction of the President's directive mandating all MDA advertisements to go through UBC has caused apprehension among major media house owners, who may perceive this move as a threat to their influence and financial gains.

Stakeholders from the Ministry of Works and Transport, Uganda Martyrs Housing and Construction Company Limited, Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces (UPDF) and National Enterprise Corporation (NEC) inspected the ongoing construction of security roads to assess the works progress.

Senior leaders and security commanders in Karamoja Sub region have urged the community to persuade armed cattle rustlers and 'Karachunas' to use the existing amnesty in place to surrender all illegal guns.
