President @KagutaMuseveni today welcomed @Starlink’s commitment to comply with Uganda’s laws and regulatory requirements as the company prepares to commence operations in the country. This followed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding and operational licence agreement between @UCC_Official and Starlink by @UCC_ED and Mr. @ryangoodnight, Senior Director for Market Access and Development at @SpaceX. Also present were the United States of America Ambassador to Uganda, H.E. William Popp, and the Permanent Secretary at @MoICT_Ug, Dr. @azawedde.

This is the man who gave me an opportunity to work for @GovUganda, in the most coveted Office of the President. Congratulations Hon. @FrankTumwebazek and God bless you. I am eternally grateful 🙏

Duly sworn in as the Woman MP @kiruhuralg District. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Kiruhura for your confidence and overwhelming support.

Straight from the swearing in ceremony, I dashed to luwero to flag-off the inaugural export of 104 metric tonnes of canned ( processed ) pineapples to China by DESHIBURG company, one of the investors in the Uganda-China Agriculture Cooperation industrial park. Deshiburg company is the first investor to set up a dedicated canned pineapple factory in uganda with capacity to process 500 tonne per day. This increases the demand for pineapples as a raw material and ends the perennial challenge of lack of market for our perishable Agriculture produce. It places a challenge to our farmers to produce more for this demand. I have made a clarion call to the local political leaders & Agriculture extension personnel, to mobilise & guide our farmers to start intentional farming:- farming that targets to meet existing demand of a particular agro-raw material sustainably. This huge proliferation of agro-industries speaks to farmers only one message; produce, produce and produce more! The excuses of no markets for Agricultural produce is no more with this revolution of agro-industrialisation ! Produce for own food , produce for the market ( domestic, regional and international ) and please do so following the acceptable standards, was my message to the farmers!

Duly Sworn in as a member of the 12th @Parliament ! I thank God-the almighty for the favor and for the many gifts of life & leadership. I truly believe that leadership comes from God! To my great people of Kibale East ( Rwamwanja ) and Kamwenge at large, thank you for your love and support for all the 20yrs i have been your representative in Parliament. My pledge to you ( as before and now) is; never to shirk that noble responsibility you have entrusted me with. I will never sleep on job & your voice will always be heard unequivocally at every level of decision making. To my family; thank you for being my rock and support system. Kazi inaendelea !

We are raising global children… but are we grounding them? Family is where culture is passed, where discipline is learned, and where identity is formed. Without it, education alone is not enough. Bring children closer. Let them see your work. Let them understand your journey. That is how values are built.

Congratulations #NRM

We thank H.E. @KagutaMuseveni for his continued encouragement, moral support, and steadfast advocacy for value addition, industrialization, and export-led growth as key drivers of Uganda’s economic transformation. Warm Congratulations.

To pursue commitments made in November 2024 to open a direct export channel for beef, fish, grains, dairy, and fruits from Uganda to the DRC, @paceidug made a case for consistency in the application of tax rates on goods from Uganda and on intra-DRC/Uganda investments. We thank H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni and his guest, H.E. Tshishekedi, for their attention to the matter of trade, investment, and security today. PACEID and its partners had 1 tonne per week of fish, beef, dairy, and other products entering Kinshasa, but couldn’t sustain these orders due to delays at border points and abrupt changes in taxes. President Tishekedi today agreed to a visit by a trade and petroleum delegation at the end of May to clear all the key outstanding trade issues. Immigration and investment issues were signed off on in today’s joint communique 📸PPU

We concluded the four-day First Impression Ambassadors Training for airport officials on Tuesday afternoon, with 853 participants from Customs, Immigration, and Aviation Security, commiting to delivering a positive, safe, friendly, and professional experience for every traveler. This initiative is grounded in a simple truth: Uganda’s image begins at first contact. “The impression you make will make or break Uganda. Every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and confidence in our country.” ~@matthewbagonza. Brig. Gen. Kisami Mike, @UgandaCAA Manager Aviation Security, emphasized implementation: “We must translate these lessons into better service, stronger teamwork, and clearer communication.” This is not just training, it is a step toward strengthening Uganda’s global image and competitiveness in tourism and trade.

The Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development @paceidug, together with the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority, launched a four-day First Impression Ambassadors Training in Entebbe. @LMushabe #NBSLiveAt1 #NBSUpdates

The program trains Immigration, Aviation Security, and Customs officers in customer care, communication, tourism awareness, and coordinated service delivery to improve visitors’ first experiences and strengthen Uganda’s national image at key entry points. #NBSLiveAt1 #NBSUpdates

The Protection of Sovereignty is being supported by Hon. Nsibambi and the Attorney General—even the son-in-law rejected it. Even a dead watch….. #RejectTheSovereigntyBill

Day 2 of the First Impression Ambassador Training closes on a high note, with strong engagement, practical learning, and a renewed commitment to service excellence. Throughout the day, sessions were highly interactive, with officers from Immigration, Aviation Security, and Customs sharing real-life experiences and solutions to improve coordination and customer care. @MugishaAi noted that a seamless & welcoming experience is critical to tourism, trade, and investment. The day concluded with participants taking an oath to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and national service as Uganda’s First Impression Ambassadors. Participants pledged to welcome every visitor with respect, courtesy, and warmth, committing to represent Uganda with pride in every interaction.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Habaari. Greetings to all of you. Of recent, I have noticed a lot of orwaari (noise, kelele), regarding the Sovereignty Bill. Which Sovereignty Bill is the rwaari about? The one I initiated in the Cabinet or another one? The Bill will stop FDIs (Foreign Direct Investments), support for religious bodies from abroad, Remittances from Ugandans working abroad, etc., etc. Really!! That is not the Bill I initiated. Below is clarification on what I initiated.

Uganda’s competitiveness as a tourism and investment destination is shaped long before a visitor reaches a hotel or business meeting, it begins at the point of entry. The experience at the airport (border points) defines first impressions, influences perception, and ultimately determines whether visitors feel welcomed, confident, and eager to engage with our country. In partnership @UgandaCAA, today we commenced the second phase of a four-day Hospitality Impression Training in Entebbe, convening over 190 frontline officers from Customs, Immigration, and Aviation Security. These teams collectively serve as Uganda’s first ambassadors at the airport. Speaking at the opening, PACEID's @matthewbagonza, emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism and positivity: “As the first point of contact with visitors, you play a critical role in shaping Uganda’s image. Your engagement must reflect discipline, warmth, and efficiency.”

Welcome to Flight Uganda and our Captain today is @KagutaMuseveni. At a cruise altitude of 40 years the Captain has a visual of $ a 500 billion economy. Be sure to look outside your window and enjoy the horizon of healthy coffee exports, a booming tourism industry, first oil, industrialisation and STI. Sit back and relax. #M7SwearsIn2026

Across Uganda, we continue to engage farmers, local leaders, and the business community to strengthen export readiness at the grassroots level. In Ngomba Buremba, Kazo District, Chairman @OdrekRwabwogo commended the youth for actively fighting poverty through cattle farming and a strong saving culture, encouraging them to scale up and lead by example. “Everything is possible, it starts with mindset. We can create jobs locally without necessarily going abroad.” He outlined PACEID’s four-pillar model; market entry through research to eliminate blind trade, strengthening standards and compliance through initiatives such as the proposed Food and Agricultural Regulatory Authority, development of export infrastructure, and access to export financing. We also recognize the important role of the media in amplifying these efforts as Uganda accelerates its export-led transformation.

Ngomba, one of the most densely populated parishes in Ankore, largely by arrivals from other parts of the country from 1968, in Kazo district, is an expression of hard work, committed elders working with productive youth. The young people who began with weekly contributions of UGX1000 to UGX5000 have now built an organisation that gives each family a cow, grows coffee and drive out poverty from their homesteads. We spent Thursday with them to figure out if their coffee volumes would warrant a huller installed for them. I thank the leadership of both Kazo and Ibanda districts for working together to deal with youth poverty, showing the way to aggregate products for exports and donating workspaces for this effort.
