Ever wondered why prices are still high even when we say inflation is under control? Governor Atingi-Ego answers exactly that — simply! "We are not targeting prices. We are targeting inflation — the rate at which prices increase." Currently at 3.0% (core inflation), Uganda's inflation remains below the 5% medium-term target. That's good news - even if it doesn't feel like it at the checkout! Read the full MPS May 2026: ow.ly/owR650Z3682 Watch the full press conference: ow.ly/QXkI50Z3681 #BOUConnects

@muyangalutaaya @OfwonoOpondo @AnitahAmong @NRMOnline @KagutaMuseveni With all the current hullabaloo, all your erstwhile associates become questionable. She was perhaps having many moles in her circles

@OfwonoOpondo @AnitahAmong @NRMOnline @KagutaMuseveni You are lucky OO she trusts you and allows you to access her. To us she doesn't, thank u for being brave and around in trouble times, many have run off. AAA has always been available for colleagues in trouble, we're watching them. Mzee is a very objective parent,no worries 😟

My sister @AnitahAmong it was an honour paying you a courtesy this afternoon, esp in these times. Your upbeat spirit, lively chat & commitment to uphold, respect & vote the Speaker candidate forwarded by @NRMOnline lifted me. Yr honour to @KagutaMuseveni top-notch.

@mukulaa But the voices of multitudes of his victims can't be ignored!!!! They seem to be genuine victims of his brutal approach

Yesterday, I joined thousands of mourners, local and national leaders in Kayunga to pay our last respects and bid farewell to the late Chairman Kaliisa Karangwa (RIP). His dedication, leadership, and service to the people and the NRM fraternity will forever be remembered. We have lost a committed patriot whose contribution to our community touched many lives. My deepest condolences go to his family, friends, relatives, and the entire NRM fraternity during this difficult time. To his family May the Almighty grant you strength, comfort, and peace as we mourn this great loss. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

@rkabushenga @OfficialFUFA We need a former footballer Reveal your footballing CV first

In June 2013, I wanted to contest for the @OfficialFUFA Presidency. The law was quickly amended to keep me out. I am back to say I am still available for that task. I can bring about the footballing glory all we Ugandans dream of. Time to save our football from thieves. Let’s take back our game

@NoorNakato1 There more banyankole speaking luganda than the reverse. The distinct dichotomy among our languages makes it hard for one to exit the borders of their language groups too

I asked a friend who has lived in South Africa for years how xenophobia there often works. How do they immediately know someone is not South African? She said: “They speak to you in a local language. If you can’t respond, they know you’re a foreigner.” And that got me thinking. What is it about us Ugandans that makes us so comfortable staying within the borders of our own language groups? A Munyankole won’t learn Luganda. A Muganda won’t learn Luo. A Musoga won’t learn Runyoro. Yet we expect the world to open up to us while we remain closed to each other. Language is more than words. Sometimes it is survival. Sometimes it is the difference between being welcomed and being treated like an outsider. So I keep asking myself: Is it not time we got out of our comfort zones?

@WaswaArafat @kajugaa @BadruZziwa We missed many starters in that game Nkemba, kabugo, steve Bogere, It was a weaker cranes due to the injuries

@kajugaa @BadruZziwa How comes u don't have Paul Hasule

#TBThursday This is the Uganda Cranes side that played Nigeria's Super Eagles in July 1993 for the 1994 Afcon qualifiers. Can you please name this squad from L-R?

@WaswaArafat @kajugaa @BadruZziwa I watched this game in soweto wing Semugabi missed a massive penalty after Aloro was fouled. The stadium fell to a deafening silence. Mukiibi left as a superstar. He marked yekini out of the game

@NadaAndersen Who is dead there!!!????

Oooooooo FUFA, kitalo nnyo nnyo nnyo.

@WelBeast Iam late but a proud arsenal fan here in uganda since 1996

I didn’t know Ugandan’s were so crazy about Arsenal. How much is a football jersey in Uganda? I might just bless 10 of you with the home shirt. You’ve earned it.

@emmanuel_dombo Destiny Ajaali It was the destined time for his exit. My view

In the event of an accident, a hospital like Kayunga should be able to stabilise a patient before making a referral! To hurry to refer without stabilisation, what was it that the hospital lacks to hurry to refer a person who needed support?

@premierleague @Arsenal Find this too and dance on and along! @Arsenal fans 💕😎

If there is such a thing as an open secret, I’m going to let you in on one: Capitalism favors owners (owners of capital). Since most of us start with no inheritance, we enter the system with only our labor. 1/4

@BadruZziwa Standing L-R unknown to me, Fred mukasa, john latigo, George nsimbe, sam kabugo,richard mugalu Squating jackson mayanja, john tebusweke, isaac nkaada, obadiah semakula, magid musisi, kayizzi

Uganda Cranes outfit. Can you name the entire squad standing ( L-R) and squatting (L-R)? If possible, can you guess the year this picture was taken?

@KalungiKabuye Thank you for the music Donna summer

Thank you for the music

Kisiga, the man in gold Besides winning the MVP award, Kisiga also shared the league’s top try scorer accolade with Joseph Oyet after both finished the season with ten tries, five of Kisiga’s coming during the playoffs when the pressure was highest bit.ly/3ReQjRO #MonitorSport #MonitorUpdates

Uganda's Oil: My Usual optimistic view ! Uganda enters oil production at perhaps the most consequential juncture in global energy markets in decades. And I say this not as a talking point. I say it because the numbers, the infrastructure progress, and the geopolitical moment all point in the same direction at the same time. The Petroleum Authority has confirmed first oil by end of July 2026, with first exports expected in October. We have drilled beyond target. Tilenga required 170 wells and has achieved 198. Kingfisher required 19 wells for first oil and has achieved 21. The EACOP pipeline stands at 82% completion, with the marine jetty at 88.1%. We are not talking about prospects anymore. We are talking about months. Now consider the world we are entering. A war in the Middle East has created the largest oil supply disruption in recorded history, with flows through the Strait of Hormuz carrying nearly 20 million barrels per day reduced to a trickle. Brent crude averaged $117 per barrel in April, with daily prices spiking to $138, the highest in four years. Global buyers are scrambling. India is actively pursuing more barrels from Africa. European refiners are reorienting toward Atlantic basin and West African producers. Uganda's crude, routed through Tanga, arrives precisely into that gap. At plateau production, Uganda stands to generate between $1 billion and $2.5 billion annually from oil revenues. At today's prices, we could exceed that upper bound in year one. We have waited twenty years for this. The infrastructure is built. The market needs us. What Uganda owes itself now is one thing only: disciplined execution.

@BadruZziwa Ooooh okay Nkata from express Kirya from nile Ssewanyanna from dairy!!!!???? Bola from express

@Elimiya89 Not yet there....read the question properly

The players below played for SC Villa in the 1990s. Can you name them (L-R); their previous clubs and and the year each moved to the Villa Park side? Nice lunch!

The Need for Intentional Cadre Development by Political Parties- Case of Anita Annet Among The story of Anita Annet Among captures a familiar political arc: a rise from humble beginnings to immense national power, followed by a sharp fall triggered by allegations of greed, excess, and ethical failure. Her ascent symbolised possibility and resilience, but her tenure at the peak of power became overshadowed by accusations of corruption, controversial legislation, international sanctions, and declining public trust. Beyond the individual, the episode exposes a deeper structural weakness in Uganda’s political system; and in many others like it. Political parties often prioritise loyalty, mobilisation skills, and short-term expediency over deliberate cadre development. When parties fail to systematically identify, train, ethically ground, and properly place cadres, power ends up in the hands of individuals who may lack institutional discipline, ideological restraint, or respect for accountability. Effective cadre systems are meant to produce leaders who understand that public office is stewardship, not entitlement. Without such preparation, ambition easily mutates into greed, and authority into impunity. Among’s trajectory thus serves not only as a personal cautionary tale, but as a warning to political parties: neglecting cadre formation ultimately weakens governance, damages party credibility, and destabilises the state itself. In the end, sustainable leadership is not accidental. It is built through intentional recruitment, continuous training, ethical enforcement, and careful placement of those entrusted with power.
