I encourage all head teachers to relax & stop employing private teachers, just do wat u can
Hon @BalaamBarugahar stated that schools such as Nkoma Secondary School in Mbale receive over 1.2 billion annually, he also noted that government allocates over 30 teaching staff & non teaching staff
the reality on the ground is different, many schools are severely understaffed despite having large student populations, that’s is why PTAs have been forced to raise funds to hire additional teachers so learners can receive enough lessons, those PTA funded teachers also conduct preps, evening classes & weekend lessons, helping government schools compete with private schools
however, if the directive is to stop employing private teachers & other non teaching staff then head teachers should simply comply, if a school has only 13 or 20 teachers available, let those teachers teach wat they can, if there are only 2 non teaching staff, let those 2 provide security, cook, clean & handle all other support services,
incase u feel there is misuse of funds why don’t u bring auditors to do internal audits of schools & arrest corrupt head teachers instead of trying to lead to total collapse of schools
after all, why should head teachers go against the directives of government officials? let the results speak for themselves in the coming years

Dear @mtnug, I bought your stocks worth 100,000 UGX through @CrestedCapital.
Can I now fire a few employees… or do I first need to buy airtime for HR? 😅📞📉

🤔"Is a Year One eligible? I don't even have a stethoscope!" 🩺
Yes — and no, you don't need one! 🤗
The FUMSA Camp Western Uganda is NOT reserved for clinical years only. Every medical student, from Year One to Year Five, has a role to play:
✅ Community registration & mobilization
✅ Health education & awareness talks
✅ Drug distribution & dispensing support
✅ Vital signs & basic screening support
✅ Translation & patient flow coordination
✅ Data collection & documentation
A lab coat, willing hands, and a heart for service are enough to get started. What you don't know yet, you'll learn by simply being there — that's how growth happens.
So whether you're pre-clinical or clinical, junior or senior — there's a place for you at this camp.
✅Don't sit this one out because you think you're "not ready." None of us start ready; we start willing.

@NelsonMogaka_ There's this thing called work schedules and expectations from a medical student or a doctor that requires huge and heavy sacrifices, one is leaving church but not leaving God

@LawOpio45404 @b_jude1 @mtnug @CrestedCapital This question was actually answered in S2 Commerce. I do believe that by that time it was compulsory. So I won't give you the benefit of the doubt. 🤣🤣

I strongly recommend your actions however, as you visit these institutions, what are your takeaways apart from the misuse of money?
Have you ever considered their working conditions, staffing levels in local government institutions whether they're at the required or understood the concept of complementing with privately hired staffs that government doesn't pay, and have you considered students enrollment to determine the number of staffs in those schools and also population of the catchment area of a Health facility vis-a-vis their capacity to serve them?
Otherwise, we might end up burying some institutions we shouldn't have

On friday , I spent most of the day in Mbale City inspecting various government schools and other key public infrastructure.
I was disappointed to find that some government-aided schools are still charging students school fees despite the clear Presidential directive prohibiting such charges.
Accompanied by local leaders and security chiefs, we directed the immediate suspension of all unauthorized school fee collections. No student should be denied access to education because of illegal charges.
The Government of Uganda already provides substantial funding to these schools. For example, Mbale Nkoma Secondary School receives over UGX 1.2 billion annually, while Mbale High School also receives slightly over UGX 1 billion each year to support its operations.
Charging tuition in government-aided schools is prohibited. Every Ugandan child deserves the opportunity to access free education in government schools. Only approved external examination fees may be charged where applicable, while meal fees remain optional.
Let us all work together to eliminate corruption at every level. Every shilling meant for our children’s education must serve its intended purpose. Together, we can build a transparent, accountable, and people-centred local government that delivers quality services to every Ugandan.

It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of our brother Gen. Moses Ali. He died today at Nakasero Hospital, at 1600 hours. Gen Moses Ali has provided service to his country for a long time, as a soldier and a political leader.
In the West Nile region, he provided the good example of being a big modern farmer. We shall miss greatly his contribution. May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace.

I introduce to you the voice and seasoned advocators for Sickle Cell in Acholi sub-region, meet Tackle Sickle Cell Africa @TackleSickle a community based organization grounded in #Acholi sub-region with a commitment to fight against sickle cell and for the Sickle Cell warriors and their families.
The intersection of @acholiwomen's fight for #mentalhealthwellness within the Sickle Cell Disease and the work of TSCA offers a complete and holistic care to both Sickle Cell Warriors and their families in the Post-conflict Acholi sub-region
At @acholiwomen, we have a study titled: Depression, Stigma and Psychosocial burden Among Sickle Cell Warriors and their Primary Caregivers in the Post-conflict Acholi sub-region, a study that will inform the development of #MentalHealth Curriculum in #SickleCell across the sub-region and the country at large. We're seeking for funding to conduct this very important study that will change the narrative about Mental Health in Sickle Cell

@AbbottBirungi As a country, we very much needed this push so that those serving the public can be held accountable while recognizing the inputs of government

I attended a youth leadership program in Europe last year, and when I returned back to Uganda, the organisers sent me an appreciation message for fulfilling my promise of returning back home after the program 🤣 Apparently Uganda had been banned from that program for 5 years because the last participants disappeared in Europe and never even finished the program 😭

@Towmiiee This is a good point shared
In my sub-region, it's estimated that over 26000 people are living with Sickle Cell Disease yet there's no public facility offering exchange blood transfusion
This is a call to everyone to support every sickle cell warrior close to you

The deadliest animal in Africa isn’t a lion 🦁 It’s this mosquito 🦟
Anopheles gambiae= 9+ species complex. Main vectors: A. gambiae s.s. + A. coluzzii 🧬
Why it’s #1 for malaria 🌍:
🩸 Spreads Plasmodium falciparum, deadliest parasite
🏠 Prefers human blood, bites indoors
🌙 Feeds 10pm-4am
💧 Breeds in small sunlit pools: puddles, hoofprints, rice fields
😴 Rests indoors after feeding = bed nets + indoor spray work
⚠️ Evolving insecticide resistance + outdoor/early biting
Eliminate it = malaria cases plummet 📉 Top target for gene drives 🧬 + vaccines 💉

Anopheles gambiae, one of the most common malaria vectors only needs 1-50mls of water for breeding.. that is just ⅒ of 500ml ( half a litre) .. equivalent to a bottle cap
