After a full day of engagements in Entebbe, I proceeded to Speke Resort Munyonyo with Natasha, where I hosted Their Excellencies and other distinguished guests at a State Dinner ahead of tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony. I welcomed them to Uganda, a country strategically located at the centre of the world and naturally positioned as a regional hub. From Munyonyo, our guests were able to experience the beauty of our country, our pleasant climate and the uniqueness of our geography. I thank them for honouring our invitation and for the solidarity they continue to show Uganda.

Greetings fellow Ugandans, fellow Africans and especially, the Bazzukulu.   I am sending out this message to, first of all, thank God for giving Maama and myself our wonderful children: Muhoozi (Muogi), Natasha (Kukuru), Patience (Pusi) and Kyaremeera (Kyinini)., protecting them and prospering them.  Secondly, I want to thank Maama for looking after them especially for the years 1981-86 when she was the only parent near them. Thirdly, I salute the children for going through the school systems and branching out successfully in the different fields of life – family, career, etc. Fourthly, I thank the Ugandans and some of the Africans for standing with and supporting our family and Political movement in the various endeavours we have been undertaking with them. On this occasion, on the 24th of April 2026, I want to congratulate Gen. Muhoozi (Muogi) on this 52nd birthday. These children, in particular Muhoozi, were born in the resistance, grew up in the resistance, and, in various ways, have made significant contribution to the resistance. Gen. Muhoozi has made significant contribution to fighting corruption in the Army and increasing the lethality of the UPDF.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu, following a scientific assessment by our CBRN team, I have written to Matongo Wood Works Company confirming that traditional wooden food containers made from omunyama (mahogany) and omusisa (albizia) are safe and durable. I have directed support for this initiative so that we free ourselves from the colonial habit of relying on fragile and unsafe ebyatika (the breakables). Our indigenous knowledge systems served our people well for generations. It is time to consciously revive and promote them as part of building a self-reliant and modern Ugandan economy.

CLARIFICATION ON OWNERSHIP OF LAND AROUND ST. BALIKUDDEMBE MARKET AND RECENT DEMOLITIONS IN THE AREA. I have seen various social media posts and received numerous inquiries seeking clarification on my alleged involvement in the recent partial demolition exercise around St. Balikuddembe Market (commonly known as Owino Market), particularly since one of the affected plots is said to be registered under my name. I wish to state the facts clearly and categorically: It is true that I obtained a lease for a plot in the Nakivubo area in 2018. This was done through the formal and legal processes available to any citizen—I applied, followed the stipulated procedures, and paid all requisite fees like anyone else. When I subsequently submitted building plans for approval, the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) informed me that the land was required for their strategic activities and public purposes. KCCA then offered to compensate me and i accepted their proposal. KCCA went ahead and took possession of the land approximately three years ago. As a result, I no longer own the said land and hold no interest whatsoever in it. I have no legal claim, control, or involvement in that plot today. Consequently, there is absolutely no basis for me to evict anyone or participate in any demolition on land that does not belong to me. The recent events around the market are unfortunate for the affected vendors, and I sympathize with their plight, but I have no connection to the demolition of that night. For those suggesting that I acquired this land due to my current position as Deputy Speaker of Parliament: Please note that I obtained the lease in 2018—long before I assumed this role and at a time when I held no ministerial or an office that could influence such transactions. I remain committed to transparency and the rule of law. Thank you for your understanding. Thomas Tayebwa, MP Deputy Speaker of Parliament Republic of Uganda

You will be shocked to learn that they’re among the best performing ambassadors. I have worked closely with both of them and they have our country at heart more than many indigenous Ugandans. It is unfortunate that we can judge people based on their colour rather than their contribution to the transformation of our beautiful country. Keep making our country proud Ladies, you have our unwavering support.
