3/3 Systems must adapt in a way that makes it harder for the fraudster but doesn’t limit the genuine customer. Enter Credit Info's Fraud & Identity solution. A carefully crafted trust engine for financial institutions to answer the question, "Are you really who you say you are?"

2/3 When banks and other financial institutions that lend money to us, the risk of fraud is a very real one. And while the movies might exaggerate here and there, fraud has never been more sophisticated. What does that mean? A couple of things. #CreditInfoSecuringIdentity

1/3 Tupo site. When the good people over at @CreditinfoGroup Uganda trust you with the launch of their Fraud & ID solution. The gist? So loans, among other financing options, are an inevitable part of the finance system. #CreditInfoSecuringIdentity

Yesterday, we launched our 2026 Personal and Business Banking grand sale campaign with a simple but powerful question: Not every goal needs the same kind of financing. Do you know which one fits yours? In conversation moderated by Fiona Kemigisha with industry voices like Robert Kabushenga and Newton Buteraba, and a keynote from our Retail & Business Banking Director Moses Rutahigwa, we explored why borrowing is most powerful when it is purposeful, structured, and aligned to real needs, not pressure or appearances. This campaign marks a deliberate shift to helping people make better borrowing decisions. In the coming days, we’ll be sharing practical tips and insights to help individuals and businesses make wiser money decisions, as a trusted partner in each of their unique stories. Remember that the right loan helps where it matters.

I guess I should go and purchase ‘The observer’ today😍😍. Inspired to do more. @nowaraga when did you say this? Thank you🫂

4/4 I left this space with more knowledge, less fear and curious to learn what this could look like for my business in certain seasons. Thank you, @AbsaUganda . A worthwhile space.

3/4 @MosesRutahigwa , in a side chat, noted something about the importance of systems for any business considering financing. But not necessarily the whole. I have an accountant, etc. But clear and consistent records, a paper trail.

1/4 Honestly? The word 'loan' has only ever made me feel anxious. Moderating this conversation on "Loans that help when it matters" hosted by @AbsaUganda, hit two levels for me. 1. As a moderator and MC, an honor. 2. As a small business owner, a major learning experience.

This feeling of hopelessness is crazy. Bruh, Uganda can drain you!!!! But you can't allow!!!

The President is not very convincing and nor does he come off as “switched on”. The question was about the creative economy. Why offer another history lesson instead of a clear answer on how the government is actually supporting or intends to support the creator economy?

#My2Cents on that #JazzWithJajja presidential engagement with influencers. 1⃣. The engagement needed to involve only online influencers. UBC had about five representatives. New Vision also had around five, including their CEO. What was their CEO doing there exactly? This wasn't a traditional press engagement, was it? They shouldn't have invited traditional media unless they were there solely as online influencers. 2⃣. Poor setup ... again. This should have been a roundtable, not a panel/ presser type, with a limited number, precisely not more than 15. They should have hired an AV production agency for that. 3⃣. The content themes would have been curated and probably limited within certain angles. Same with questions. 4⃣. Unclear guest logic. What value were Dombo and Full Figure adding to this? I saw the coffee CEO lady, Simon Kaheru and others ... What value did Christine Mawadri add? 5⃣. One clean feed was sufficient. Everyone else could have selected content from that single stream instead of fragmenting the experience. Tried watching from different YouTube feeds ... it felt shabby! 6⃣. The branding execution was poor and diluted the experience. It needed to be cleaner, subtler, and more premium. 7⃣. Personally, I would have preferred a stronger, more conversational style (and in-charge) moderator like @jamesonen Lastly, Uganda boasts of exceptional communications and brand minds; shouldn't activations like this reflect that depth?

At the end of 2025, we tried out a a new conversation with those we felt represented a future view of Uganda’s politics. What was meant to be a short project is now our commitment for 2026. @fionakemi_ & I have decided to bring you other new voices on the @newbreed_podUG. Follow us.

“He was in the world. The world was made through Him. And yet… they didn’t recognize Him.” The Creator walked among His creation, and they looked right past Him. Why??? He was eternal. Divine. The agent through whom every star, every breath, every heartbeat came into being. And yet… they didn’t recognize Him. Not because He was hidden, but because they were. Hidden behind what they wanted God to be. Behind centuries of longing twisted into demands. They wanted a warrior-king dripping in gold and vengeance. They got a carpenter’s son who washed feet and wept over cities. The real tragedy to me isn’t just that they missed Him. It’s that they were LOOKING for Him, and still missed Him. They were given centuries of preparation. Prophecies lined the path like breadcrumbs; Isaiah, Micah, Zechariah, Malachi. The whole architecture of faith pointed to this moment. And when He finally arrived? “Not like this. Not Him.” Thunder? He whispered. Sword? He opened His hands. Judgment? He offered mercy. The wound that cuts across time is if they, the ones with the prophecies, the rituals, the heritage, could not recognize Him, what makes us think we would? What boxes have we built for God? What walls of expectation blind us today? It bothers me. But there’s a small crack of hope: Some saw. Not many though. Fishermen, tax collectors, women society dismissed, outsiders with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They weren’t righteous enough to deserve Him, they were broken enough to need Him. And in their need, they recognized what the religious and powerful could not: God comes not how we expect, but how we need. Ah! and to those who received Him, He didn’t just accept them. He adopted them. Made them sons and daughters, not by bloodline, not by effort, but by grace. Born again. Remade from the inside out. And so the question remains, will we see Him? Or will we, like them, look only for the God we want and miss the God who is? He still walks among us, in strangers, in the suffering, in the inconvenient. He still comes in humility when we expect spectacle. He still offers grace when we demand rights. The world didn’t recognize Him then. Will we now?

Anyway, I'm not here to shout at you at the start of the year. Me I dont do those things.

Sometimes we run for speed, this Saturday, we walked for love and community. Starting the year with purpose and community. 1/52 of 2026. 🚶🏾‍♂️ New Year Gutsy Walk with the Makumbi’s

@fionakemi_ I am proud to be in your company

The Sermon on the Mount is the most important theological speech ever delivered. Not because it is poetic. Not because it sounds spiritual. But because of what it dares to do. It takes a wrecking ball to every pathway humans normally use to feel righteous about themselves. Before Jesus ever spoke on that mountain, something shocking had already happened in history. The Law of Moses had done what no other legal system in the ancient world dared to do. Every civilization punished actions: assault, theft, fraud. But Israel’s God went further. He outlawed desire itself. “You shall not covet.” No king in Babylon tried to legislate envy. No Pharaoh tried to punish inward greed. No empire in history ever criminalized thoughts. It’s impractical. It’s unpoliceable. It makes zero political sense. Unless the point of the law was never about external control in the first place. Unless the real battleground was always the heart. That already makes the God of Israel unlike anything humans usually invent. Man-made gods bless instincts. They excuse appetites. They baptize ambition and call it divine favor. But YHWH did the opposite: He confronted the human heart itself and declared it accountable. Then Jesus arrived. And instead of loosening that standard, He took it beyond human reach. “You’ve heard not to murder. But if you hate, you are guilty.” “You’ve heard not to commit adultery. But if you lust, you are guilty.” He doesn’t soften Moses. He detonates Moses inside the human soul. Think about this with intellectual honesty. No religion humans invent works like this. If people build a faith system, they build one they can pass. One that gives moral achievement, self-satisfaction, spiritual status. Something that says, “You can do it if you try hard enough.” Jesus torches that idea completely. He shifts the moral courtroom into your conscience. He declares that guilt isn’t just what you’ve done but what you wanted to do. Suddenly no one is innocent anymore. Not prophets. Not priests. Not kings. Not you. Not me. Everyone stands exposed. And here is the devastating brilliance of it: Christianity is the only religion that intentionally destroys self-righteousness as a design feature. It does not leave pride standing. It does not allow moral boasting. It pushes humanity to the terrifying realization that if salvation exists, it cannot come from human goodness at all. Which is why the same Jesus who raised the law beyond human reach… went to the Cross. The God who demanded holiness provided it Himself. The Judge stepped into the judgment. The Lawgiver bore the penalty of the lawbreakers. No tribe invents a God like this. No empire imagines a story like this. No human heart naturally writes a script where pride dies and grace wins. The Sermon on the Mount did not come to inspire us. It came to strip us. Then it led us to the only place hope could survive: “It is finished.”
