I believe this was spontenouse 'uprising'😁. Next time, learn from Man United fans, and focus more on community impact celebrations.

These guys are forcing the Ebola outbreak down our throat. Sad! @WHOUganda @WHO

Dear Samson I have observed several concerns and have addressed them in previous posts . Allow me to highlight some of my views: The WHO explicitly advises against using the following elements in a disease's name to avoid backlash, prejudice, and economic harm including geographic locations, cultural references etc. Naming this virus after a district in Uganda violates this principle. Uganda is an internationally recognized center of excellence in managing epidemiological diseases thanks to robust political leadership by H E President @KagutaMuseveni that runs all the way down to local level with robust monitoring and preventive ecosystems that have been used to address Ebola always coming from DRC. This experience also served as a basis for the effectiveness of our response to COVID-19. The current narrative is making it sound as if the virus originated here and as if we have local transmission cases. None of which is true. Normally Uganda’s listing as an affected country depends on local transmissions and as of this moment we have registered ZERO LOCAL TRANSMISSIONS. This means Uganda’s partners need to recognize the HEIGHTENED PREVENTIVE MEASURES taken and not penalize the country, our people and our livelihoods for our readiness. Last but not least, how we communicate about prevention matters. We must be clear and specific without using images and fonts and colors that cause alarm. I recognize that the system needs to mobilize resources but this should not be done at the expense of one of the world’s best epidemiological monitoring and control systems. Action by @UgandaMediaCent and @TourismBoardUg are accurate, professional and should be emulated by all stakeholders. @SamsonMKasumba

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery. I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products. I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people. Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.

@brucenahabwe1 @AKasingye I know its a subconcious thing, not just letter O, but you want to associate the bad things with O😊

@AKasingye Noted… I thought he’s from the North.

Naye just imagine Chris Obore who’s from the north learning runyankore… he will take a full year🤣

@PaddyAnkunda1 Your next adventure around the sun is shaping up to be thrilling thanks to recent events. Hopefully by the time you're back, half the shady characters will be getting schooled at both the official and unofficial basements😃😃. Happy birthday

Today, I'm 52 years of age. What a privilege to be living at a time of very positive changes in Uganda. Cheers!!!! Another trip around the Sun. Uganda is unstoppable!

@TimKalyegira @SamsonMKasumba @AmamaMbabazi 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@SamsonMKasumba @AmamaMbabazi Okay. Two years ago, the focus of your lavish praise over a fashion sense was Speaker Among. Now that she appears to have fallen from grace, can we take it that you're dumping her from your praise list and pivoting to another power dresser, or am I reading too much into it?

If you ever needed to understand the true meaning of debonair, class, finesse with an effortless aura this is it. He does it without even trying to. There is plenty that young men need learn from this Gentleman in terms of how to carry self around. @AmamaMbabazi is simply a phenomenon! Take a bow!

@jane_amongin Congratulations Honorable 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Officially sworn in as Kaberamaido District Woman Member of Parliament in the 12th Parliament of Uganda. I reaffirm my commitment to uphold the Constitution and serve the people of Kaberamaido and the nation with integrity-so help me God.

@LillianAber @mkainerugaba Jok ma malo oyub bot in yoo.

We, the Women Members of Parliament in the 12th Parliament, sincerely thank Chairman & CDF - Gen @mkainerugaba for his consistent advocacy and championing of women’s leadership in Uganda. We are truly grateful for your great leadership and patriotism.

@sk_bongomin93 Man should move on😊

Beatrice Mao's ex-husband Mr. Martin Kayanja claims chairman Mao used his position in office and government to steal his wife from his🤯😩🙆🙆

@ChrisObore1 in Acholi, we call it Abuucaru😁

There is always that one support you can't do without, immediately the support is withdrawn, your chest becomes tight😊

@JackieAkampwera I hought you had it already😁

Who is the Deputy Speaker? Why was Mao invited to Kyankwanzi? Guys give us the News! The pressure is killing us.

@DickensOkello99 2 hours later........the room is quiet😂

It's NOT good news or GOOD news from Entebbe depending on the side you support.

@nickopiyo 😂😂😂😂

They say when two elephants fight, the grass suffers. But what happens when two fools fight? We may have some indications in the Kabanda -Nameere spats - they speak over their head and while at it, tell us a lot about their piper masters and mistresses. Now, you do not interrupt such a fight. In fact, you encourage them to go on.

@MegafmGulu @AnitahAmong @Thomas_Tayebwa @Parliament_Ug @JanetMuseveni @norbertmao Waiting for guidance from Mama @JanetMuseveni really? Please proof read before sharing. Apwoyo

The earlier endorsement of @AnitahAmong and @Thomas_Tayebwa as candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker of @Parliament_Ug has been withdrawn by the PLU. They will wait for guidance from @JanetMuseveni. @norbertmao is also a candidate.

@AKasingye Accept and move on Afande. Arsenal will give you a better swearing in party experience i guess😁😁

I have not been invited for the swearing in ceremony 😭😭😭

@OduutDavid @norbertmao The name ODUUT though😁😁

Friends, let's guide ourselves; the person of the Speaker also has a right to enjoy the fruits of her hard work and legitimate business ventures, just like any other citizen. Why should anyone be jealous of that? In the absence of any legitimate audit query against her office or herself, the criticism is then clearly misplaced. More often than not, the loudest critics (and that of their sympathizers) are not driven by principle but by envy and by the mindset that only they deserve everything good. I know of those who've been manufacturing noise in the past few days because they also want to be in the same office, tayo! Speaker Among is also free to live her life in ways that make her happy. After all, there is nothing unlawful about a person enjoying and spending the lawful proceeds of her own labor.

I’m sorry for mistaking the exhibit for an iPhone 15 yet it is an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I’m not very knowledgeable about phones 🤣.

@AfaEi Pi Lu-LCs ma i City, wanongo yoo mukene

@balmoistev Jal in, wek waa baaa. Awinyo ni rwot kweri pe i city ci dong wan lucity wa bi time nining? Election wa dong bedo pe kece pakalast dong

I dont think the country need billions to conduct the LC elections. Just appoint a senior elder in the village to oversee the elections, the elected chairman with the help of Rwot kweri will sit and appoint the other 10 committee members. Done! The names will then be forwarded to the subcounty for approval. A poor country like UG shouldnot stress over somethings ojoneeee.
