Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces reiterates his vow to "HANG" incarcerated veteran opposition politician Col. (Rtd) Dr. Kizza Besigye for allegedly plotting to kill his father, longtime ruler Yoweri Museveni. Early Monday morning, operatives abducted his lawyer Erias Lukwago.
Let me say it again! I will HANG Kizza Besigye the first chance I get to do it! He wanted to kill my father and he will not escape the punishment that he richly deserves!!

.@mofpedU preparing inaugural sovereign Sukuk issuance to fund 15% of SGR project; 60% will come “Export Credit Agencies” & 25% from Development Finance Institutions. It’s one in raft of measures to "effectively manage public debt."
KEY MEASURES TO MANAGE PUBLIC DEBT: As we head into FY 2026/27, we shall be implementing the following key measures to effectively manage public debt which is currently moderately elevated. ✅️ Implementation of the Domestic Revenue Mobilization Strategy (DRMS) We are keen on minimizing tax evasion using the electronic fiscal receipting and invoicing solution (EFRIS). Revenue collection has nearly doubled in the last 5 years from Shs 17 trillion in FY 2019/20 to Shs 32 trillion in FY 2024/25. ✅️ Undertake policy actions to leverage concessional financing. Uganda now has access to this financing from the World Bank and IMF. ✅️Implement the Public Investment Financing Strategy (PIFS) to leverage non-debt financing. The Uganda Sovereign Sukuk in the offing is a case in point. ✅️Implement the Country's Credit Rating Strategy. We are already rated 'Positive' by S&P (B-),Stable by Fitch Ratings (B) & also Stable by Moody's (B3). ✅️Implement the 2026/27 Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDMS) whose key objectives include minimizing the share of interest payments to domestic revenue in order to reduce debt service burden on the budget. #DebtManagement #TenfoldGrowth #DoingMore

.@nytimes rejects @netanyahu’s threat of a lawsuit over @NickKristof piece, calling it, “part of a well-worn political playbook that aims to undermine independent reporting and stifle #journalism that does not fit a specific  narrative. Any such legal claim would be w/out merit.”
Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

“…rediscovering value beyond titles may now be essential for survival.”
Uganda’s NGO and not-for-profit sector is undergoing profound change due to several policy shifts both at home and abroad — from shrinking foreign aid flows and USAID funding cuts to changing development priorities and tighter operating realities. The result is a growing wave of uncertainty for thousands of professionals whose careers were built within that ecosystem. In this deeply reflective commentary, Zianah Nyiramanza Muddu explores the human impact of this transition — and why reinvention, adaptability, and rediscovering value beyond titles may now be essential for survival. ceo.co.ug/the-ngo-sector-is-… #CEOEastAfrica #NGOs #FutureOfWork #Leadership #Uganda

MS Albeity Limited - The Company that “gifted” Uganda’s outgoing Speaker of Parliament the latest 3.4BN Rolls Royce. The company has been identified as a "briefcase firm" in several reports due to its low-key operational history, has listed the following individuals in official UK Companies House records over time. Current Director •Samir Tahir al-Kharusy: A British citizen (born 1972) who was appointed on August 13, 2018. Reports from Monitor.co.ug have previously identified him as a postal worker. Former Directors •Nsibomana Ibrahim: Served as a director from December 2021 until his resignation in September 2022. He has been identified in reports as a truck driver. •Youssuf Aden: A Somali nurse who resigned in September 2018. •Abubakar Hassan: Resigned as both a director and secretary in September 2018. The company gained notoriety in Uganda for securing high-value government contracts, including the procurement of luxury vehicles for the leadership of the Ugandan Parliament, despite its directors seemingly having no prior background in the automotive industry. Financial Standing of Albeity Limited: According to the latest available filings at UK Companies House, the company is classified as a micro-entity. Its balance sheets have historically shown relatively modest net assets compared to the multi-billion shilling contracts it has secured in Uganda. QUESTION - How did Samir raise money to buy a luxurious car for gifting the Speaker? Employment Background: Investigative reports by Daily Monitor previously identified Al-Kharusy as a postal worker in the United Kingdom, suggesting that his primary source of income may have been outside of large-scale international trade prior to the company’s involvement with the Ugandan Parliament. Contractual Revenue: While Albeity Limited has handled transactions worth billions of Ugandan shillings—including the Shs2.4 billion Mercedes-Benz deal in 2022 and the recent Shs3.4 billionRolls-Royce delivery—these figures represent gross contract values or vehicle costs, not the personal income of the director. @IGGUganda @AnneTwino @DrOkiria Declarations concerning this “gift” should be made public

Building competitive industries jobs requires investment in research & knowledge—yet most African countries invest under 0.5% of GDP. Kenya, Senegal & South Africa are leading the way. Closing this gap could reshape Africa’s future: wrld.bg/ngbN50YNSUU #AfricaEconomicUpdate

A spat is brewing between Uganda and Kenya after the regime here apparently "declined Kenya’s request" to access fuel reserves despite Nairobi pledging to cover once delayed cargo arrives. Kenya is currently grappling with retail level stock outs.

"We received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it’s a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the U.S. and Iran…" 📌A rampaging super power eating humble pie.

Sane world leaders must restrain the U.S. President now. "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day" is clearly premeditating war crimes after failing to cripple Iran's military infrastructure.
