The Office of the National Chairman (ONC), under the leadership of the Senior Presidential Advisor and Bazzukulu Coordinator Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye has today launched preparations for #MuseveniSwearsIn2026. Speaking during the launch at the office headquarters in Kyambogo, Hajjat Namyalo expressed gratitude to Ugandans especially the Bazzukulu for their overwhelming support in the recently concluded presidential elections, reflecting continued confidence in the country’s leadership and direction. In a special way, I want to thank the Bazzukulu, and all citizens across the nation for their trust in the President and Jajja wa Bazzukulu and for electing National Resistance Movement leaders at all levels.This new term, we have ne demands that we would like our President to fulfil." Hajjat Namyalo said. She emphasized that the ONC played a key role in mobilizing support and encouraging the President to contest, especially at a time when some voices opposed his candidacy. "At a time when some sought to push him off the ballot, we stood firm as Bazzukulu and called upon Jjaja to lead and he listened,” she noted, adding that their steadfast backing proved decisive. As preparations for the ceremony gain momentum, Hajjat Namyalo used the occasion to call upon all Ugandans to turn up in large numbers and witness the historic swearing-in event. She further reaffirmed the Office of the National Chairman’s commitment to mobilizing citizens, supporting government programs, and advancing Uganda’s journey toward sustained economic growth, stability, and transformation. Uganda is now set to usher in a new presidential term on 12th May 2026, with a historic swearing-in ceremony expected to attract millions of viewers both locally and internationally. The 2026–2031 term is described as a critical phase focused on consolidating national achievements, accelerating the Fourth National Development Plan, expanding the Parish Development Model, and advancing socio-economic transformation. #PresidentOmupya @StateHouseUg

It is alleged that Tugume extorted amounts ranging from UGX 7 million to UGX 25 million from 23 candidates, promising them jobs in the ongoing recruitment.

Thank you @PoliceUg

. @mkituuma "This is to inform the public about the arrest of a group of cyber fraudsters who have been impersonating Mrs Natasha Museveni Karugire and defrauding unsuspecting members of the public. Security agencies have been investigating a cybercrime scheme in which criminals created several fake TikTok and WhatsApp accounts in the name of Mrs. Natasha Museveni Karugire, using her photographs and identity to defraud her followers. The suspects targeted individuals who reached out to her online seeking financial assistance. Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects did the following: Accessed TikTok and other social media platforms, specifically targeting the account of Mrs. Karugire Identified followers who were requesting financial support or assistance. Registered multiple telephone lines on WhatsApp and other platforms, using Mrs. Karugire ’s photograph as the profile picture to appear authentic. Initiated communication with these followers, pretending to be Mrs. Karugire. Once a victim requested financial help, they instructed the victim to first pay a “registration fee” or “processing charge”, the amount varying according to the support requested. Provided specific telephone numbers where the victims were directed to deposit or send the money. Several individuals were defrauded of various amounts of money through this scheme. Acting on intelligence we conducted operations in Iganga Municipality, where four suspects were arrested. They have been identified as: Isabirye Ashiraf Mulondo Rahman Kakaire Zubair Egesa Sharif Upon arrest, the suspects were found in possession of several telephone SIM cards and several mobile handsets, which are believed to have been used in the commission of these crimes. The suspects are currently in custody and will be arraigned before court shortly to face charges related to cyber fraud and impersonation. We strongly caution the public against paying any money to individuals online who demand registration fees, processing charges, or advance payments in exchange for financial assistance, jobs, visas, scholarships, or other opportunities. Genuine service providers and reputable individuals do not demand such upfront payments through social media. Members of the public are urged to: Treat any request for “registration fees” or “clearance charges” made through social media or messaging apps with suspicion. Verify any offer or request using official contacts and channels, not numbers sent to you in private messages. Immediately report any suspicious online activity, fake accounts, or attempted fraud to the nearest police station. The public is encouraged to stay vigilant and to work closely with us in the fight against online crime.
