Opportunity worth exploring
The problem isn’t talent. It’s exposure gap.
Too many brilliant engineers, fabricators, technicians, and innovators leave school without ever touching industrial-grade equipment, solving real manufacturing challenges, or working inside a production ecosystem.
That gap is exactly why the EDiC Engineering Boot Camp exists.
This is not another classroom program.
It is an industry-driven engineering experience designed to bridge the space between technical knowledge and industrial application.
At EDiC, we believe industrial transformation starts with building practical capability. That means creating engineers who can design, prototype, fabricate, troubleshoot, maintain, innovate, and manufacture solutions that respond to Uganda’s real needs.
The Boot Camp directly supports EDiC’s mission of:
⚙️ Strengthening local manufacturing capabilities.
⚙️ Building industry-ready technical talent.
⚙️ Accelerating innovation commercialization.
⚙️ Creating a generation of solution-oriented engineers.
Participants will work in a live manufacturing environment alongside practicing engineers using advanced industrial systems, tools, and processes, the kind of exposure that transforms potential into competence.
Because the future of engineering belongs to people who can BUILD.
If you are serious about manufacturing, product development, fabrication, industrial systems, or deep-tech innovation, this is your lane.
Applications are now open.
📅 Deadline: 12 June 2026

Hon. @DaudiKabanda, with due respect, I must set the record straight. I do NOT hold a Rwandan passport. This is a deliberate falsehood introduced by Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, and the truth must be told.
We have it ON RECORD — Hon. @Thomas_Tayebwa’s own words: “In every vetting session we have to fail someone, and this time it had to be you, Dr. Muganga.” Read that again. This rejection was decided before the process even began. It was never about passports, qualifications, or integrity. It was personal. It was calculated. It was discriminatory. And in due course, we shall release the audio that proves it. Stay tuned.
Hon. Kabanda, what I experienced in that committee was not parliamentary oversight. It was hatred. It was discrimination. It was racism, directed at me simply because I am a Munyarwanda.
Let me be clear: We Banyarwanda are Ugandans. We were born here. We pay taxes here. We build institutions here. We have given our lives to serve this nation. I personally have spent decades working tirelessly for Uganda, conducting thousands of interviews, engaging with thousands of people, sitting in hundreds of boardroom meetings across 56 countries. In all those years and in all those rooms, I have never once encountered the kind of hostility that Hon. Tayebwa directed at me. Not once. And to this day, I cannot understand the depth of hatred he carries toward Banyarwanda. I do not have to take my word for it. Ask the other members of the Appointment Committee, including those from the Opposition side. They were there. They witnessed it.
So I ask one simple question: what is Hon. Tayebwa so afraid of? What remains hidden that my presence at Internal Affairs would threaten to uncover?
Uganda belongs to ALL its citizens equally. Banyarwanda included. We are not second class citizens. We will not be treated as such. This selective and discriminatory application of the law must be called out loudly, and it must stop. The law is not a weapon to be aimed at one community of our own people.
We are Ugandan. We belong here. And we will not be silenced.

Mr. Muganga Lawrence was not rejected by the committee for being a Munyarwanda, a narrative i see some people so deceptively selling. We have other leaders who are banyarwanda who were approved & have been approved in the past. Hon . Aisha Ssekindi and Dianah Mutasingwa were approved yet they are Banyarwanda but Ugandan citizens.
Muganga was not approved after he denied holding a Rwandan passport, but the Committee investigations confirmed he holds 3 passports: Ugandan, Canadian and Rwandan. Why was he denying it? Therefore, the claim that he was rejected because of being a munyarwanda is totally false, misleading & dangerous.
