I congratulate the CDF, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and the @MODVA_UPDF leadership for improving soldiers’ welfare. As we prepare for the LCI and Women Council elections, I urge wananchi to elect leaders of integrity who will fight corruption and serve the people. @cdfupdf @mkainerugaba

CDF, Gen. @mkainerugaba thanked God for guiding the UPDF through the first half of the year & prayed for continued protection and wisdom during the remainder of 2026. He expressed gratitude to President Museveni for presiding over the ceremony, describing his presence as a demonstration of his unwavering commitment to the continued growth and professionalisation of the UPDF. He congratulated the newly passed-out recruits for making what he described as one of the most patriotic decisions of their lives by choosing military service. “The decision to join military service is a lifelong commitment to defending your country. I thank every recruit for making that bold and patriotic decision.” The CDF commended the training schools for successfully conducting the programme and producing soldiers equipped with the skills, discipline and values required for active military service. “It is evident that these young men and women have mastered the required military skills and are now ready to undertake active duty in service of the motherland.” Gen. Muhoozi congratulated President Museveni and the @NRMOnline on what he described as successful electoral victories and thanked the President for his continued leadership. He also paid tribute to the former Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs, Rt. Hon. @ObothOboth for his contribution to improving soldiers' welfare and supporting reforms in the defence sector, including the enactment of the amended UPDF Act. “We salute his contribution & are confident that in his new responsibility as Speaker of Parliament, he will continue supporting the @MODVA_UPDF.” The CDF expressed optimism that, with the support of the new Parliament, Uganda remained on course to achieve its long-term economic transformation agenda, including its ambition of growing the economy to $500 billion. On security, Gen. Muhoozi reassured Ugandans that the country remained peaceful, stable & secure, praising the vigilance and professionalism of the UPDF & other security agencies. He, however, warned against what he described as foreign-sponsored elements working against Uganda's national interests. “We are aware of the negative elements working against our country. We shall never allow foreign interests to determine Uganda's future or demoralise our patriotic forces. We cannot tolerate poor service delivery, nor shall we tolerate foreign agents operating secretly to undermine our country.” He reaffirmed the UPDF's commitment to defending Uganda's sovereignty & protecting the gains achieved over the years. The CDF also highlighted improvements in soldiers' welfare, including better accommodation, improved remuneration & continued investment in military school & health facilities. “We want our fighting men and women to be proud of the conditions under which they serve. Improving welfare remains one of our priorities.” He urged the newly graduated soldiers to safeguard their health, maintain peak physical fitness and uphold discipline throughout their military careers. “Protect your lives, maintain your medical and physical fitness, cultivate the warrior spirit and remain disciplined at all times. Those values will enable you to accomplish every mission entrusted to you.” Gen. Muhoozi paid tribute to UPDF troops serving under regional and international peace support operations in Somalia, DRC and South Sudan, commending their bravery, professionalism and sacrifice. He noted that despite the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC, UPDF troops had sustained operations against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), while the security situation in South Sudan had improved significantly. He added that Uganda would continue reviewing its regional deployments in line with guidance from President Museveni and prevailing security requirements. He concluded by thanking the President for his continued strategic guidance, saying it has enabled the UPDF to achieve its operational objectives both within Uganda and across the region.
