I am honoured to be attending the 8-day Cabinet Induction Retreat at Kyankwanzi, officially opened by H.E. @KagutaMuseveni. I remain committed to advancing Uganda’s socio-economic transformation through prudent financial management, investment promotion, and strengthening local content. We must continue moving households into the money economy by supporting value addition, industrial growth, and inclusive wealth creation across agriculture, manufacturing, services, and ICT.

Today, President Yoweri Museveni will officially open the Cabinet Induction Retreat for newly appointed Ministers at Kyankwanzi. The President is expected to provide guidance on the Government’s priorities for the 2026–2031 period, with an emphasis on wealth creation, accountability, discipline, and the transformation of Uganda’s economy.

On my brother @FrankGashumba threatening to start another M23 in Uganda, we shall call him and discuss his issues in the PLU Central Committee. Point of information, I outrank ndugu Gashumba both in Rwanda and Eastern DRC.

Our very own @OtaiPeter is among the talented presenters bringing the FIFA World Cup action right into living rooms across East Africa through Azam TV. Kudos, Otai! 👏 Uganda is proud of you and wishes you continued success on this global stage.

I missed this Cabinet debate while away, but as someone who did internship, private interns must be paid. The workload in our referral & district hospitals is heavy and full-time. I’m engaging the President to re-table this; we must find the money to fund all interns. #CapitalFM

Katwe Division Police Commander, SP Innocent Mubagizi, regularly sets aside time from his busy schedule to engage with wananchi on TikTok, answering questions and receiving feedback from the public. This is a commendable initiative that can help strengthen community policing and improve service delivery. It would be great to see more @PoliceUg officers adopt similar platforms to connect with the communities they serve. Thank you, Ndugu. 🙏🏿

Today at State House Entebbe, I presided over the swearing-in of Hon. Justice Moses Kawumi Kazibwe as Deputy Chief Justice. I congratulate Justice Kawumi and commend the Judiciary, under the leadership of Chief Justice Flavian Zeija, for the progress being made in fighting corruption, promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution, and embracing digitisation. These reforms are important in ensuring that justice is delivered efficiently, fairly, and without unnecessary delays. When we came into government, corruption and excessive emphasis on technicalities were major weaknesses in the judicial system. I am therefore pleased to see continued efforts to strengthen substance, integrity, and accountability in the administration of justice. I wish Justice Kawumi success as he undertakes this important responsibility.

COLLABORATIVE PROCUREMENT IN THE OFFING: Once the new Government starts work,another major reform to be implemented will be in the area of public procurement. All Ministries,Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) will implement the use of collaborative procurement for common user items such as stationery, computers,cars etc effective 1st July 2026. This is part of the measures to cut wastage,guard against over pricing of goods and services in Gov't,standardise prices,achieve quality standards,value for money and maximize economies of scale. This reform is also aimed at making public procurement efficient,transparent and corruption free. According to the PSST Dr. @rggoobi, this reform will remove middlemen of procurement and also cut down on the lead time. "If Government is buying similar things like cars and computers,there is no need for each entity to look for bidders," said the PSST. Common user items will be purchased in bulk on behalf of all requesting MDAs & LGs.

Dear @nemaug, can you kindly first shift the focus from Lubigi to this wetland close to lake victoria somewhere in Nkumba which is now a dumping site? This is not right at all. Something needs to be urgently. We need to collectively protect the environment. 🎥 Zapa drone

The most striking feature of the new cabinet is Museveni’s continued empowerment of younger politicians and technocrats, many of whom now occupy influential ministerial positions 👉🏼 nilepost.co.ug/opinions/3446…

The security forces are sealing our entire border with the DRC until further notice. No movement of people between the two countries is permitted. This is in response to the Ebola outbreak in DRC. Trying to breach this order will endanger your life. We will update you on the situation as it develops.

As Chairman of PLU, I want to sincerely apologize to H.E. the President for the embarassing, uncharacteristic and wrong words one of our members, Andrew Mwenda, used against you. We are going to subject our member to a disciplinary process. The NRM/PLU alliance is strong.
