We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

Can’t even be mad!

The Attorney General, Hon. Sam Mayanja has met with K'la Lord Mayor, Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo, to discuss investment opportunities for sustainable urban development and infrastructure modernisation in Kampala. @MoJCAUG @JLOSUganda @KCCAUG @balimwezoronald

Today, @MinofHealthUG together with the Civil Aviation Authority, Ambassadors, and airline operators serving Uganda, discussed the unfair travel restrictions imposed on Uganda due to the current Ebola situation. Uganda has been transparent from the outset, promptly sharing information and implementing robust measures that have consistently prevented the exportation of Ebola cases beyond our borders. While we appreciate the need for vigilance, blanket restrictions undermine confidence in countries that report outbreaks openly, and are not commensurate with the actual risk. We thank the countries and airline operators that have kept their borders and routes open, demonstrating confidence in Uganda’s evidence-based public health measures.

Ekijja ssi muntu… Love it though!

WE PRESENTED A GOOD BIG BUDGET- GGOOBI Speaking at 5th edition of the ABSA-NTV 2026/27 Post Budget Dialogue this morning, the PSST @rggoobi described the national budget for FY 2026/27 which was presented yesterday as a good big budget with so many opportunities for Ugandans to harness. The PSST said revenue is growing, adding that the domestic revenues for next financial year which amounts to 45 trillion shillings will fund the discretionary budget of about 57 trillion shillings. He emphasized that Government has allocated 95% of the discretionary resources to the ATMS and the key enablers, adding that the key priorities of the budget are production and productivity, value addition, exports and job creation. Dr Ggoobi also said Government will implement key reforms to achieve the Tenfold Growth Agenda. The reforms are aimed at eliminating waste, corruption, delays and inefficiency. He highlighted enforcement of budget discipline and accountability effective FY 2026/27 as part of the performance contracts for Accounting Officers. He said Accounting Officers will sign a budget discipline and accountability charter which provides for sanctions against breaches of accountability rules in planning, budgeting and execution of public resources. The PSST said Government will also fully implement reforms to fight corruption through procurement by ensuring transparency and accountability. Dr. Ggoobi said Government will continue to enforce trade order. The other reform he noted is strengthening governance, oversight and performance of state-owned enterprises. The Executive Director ABSA Bank, Michael Segwaya said the success of the budget is measured by its allocation and implementation. “We recognize that budget is just a direction, it’s about translating policy into a practical dialogue and what that actually means to our businesses,” he said.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Young and progressive leadership!

Just read a LinkedIn article by @qataharraymond and what really struck a chord for me was this statement: ‘Africa will believe in Africa and we will be alright.’ This is where we need to be! Where we should aspire to be! #development

I truly admire that Uganda has set a clear, visible and achievable economic target. What I wish our bureaucrats would do is spend time speaking to the drivers of that economy; the MSMEs. They are operating in a very rude policy and fiscal environment

The God of Bunyagabu hears our prayers 🙏🏽

Congratulations to @BoeingAirplanes and @UG_Airlines for a commitment for new 787 Dreamliner and 737 Max aircraft. This agreement highlights American excellence in innovation, manufacturing, and aviation, enabling @UG_Airlines to modernize its fleet and expand its route network. We are excited that Boeing aircraft will continue flying to and from the Pearl of Africa!

I’m keen to find out (and please treat this tweet seriously) who decided that the Ugandan Kabalagala will be called pancakes? 🤔🤔🤔

The Order Paper for this afternoon's #PlenaryUg at Kololo, where HE the President will deliver the Budget Speech for the Financial Year 2026/2027 in fulfilment of his constitutional obligation under Article 155(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda. The article states that “The President shall cause to be prepared and laid before Parliament, in each financial year, but in any case, not later than the fifteenth day before the commencement of the financial year, estimates of revenues and expenditure of Government for the next financial year.” #UGBudget2026

You can save some $10k for first class flights for you and the family to move while at it 🙌🏽 Beachside in Greece!

From a purely ethnographic point; that a man in the late 90’s came 415kms from Kabale to Kampala in search of a job - which he got - and spent his first salary in a bar tells you a lot more about the Ugandan way of life.

The new ‘novel’ by @bazanye is such a trip into Ugandan culture. It’s humor, tropes and great writing! That’s why we’ve chosen it for this month’s book club @JavaHouseUG Get yourself a copy, read it and let’s meet on 27th in Naguru
