@HonByamukama We felt the ka pressure Hon.

Last week, I directed the contractor to complete the maintenance works on the Namungoona–Bwaise section of the Kampala Northern Bypass by today. Monday 13th July to ease the persistent traffic congestion. I'm pleased that the asphalt laying has now been completed as directed, and the section will reopen to traffic this morning. Road marking will follow in the coming days with minimal disruption. Thank you to all motorists and the public for your patience and cooperation as we worked to restore smoother and safer movement on this critical corridor.

@KagutaMuseveni We are ready Mzee wa kazi

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Greetings. Tomorrow at 7pm, I will address the country on matters of national importance. Please tune in.

@BalaamBarugahar Even so PSC still has corruption as long as there is human interaction at interviews and shortlisting

Government Rolls Out Online Recruitment for Districts to Curb Corruption and Streamline Hiring. The Government of Uganda has announced a major shift in the recruitment of staff for district and city local governments, with all future recruitment processes set to transition to an online system. The move is aimed at reducing physical interaction between applicants and recruitment officials, cutting paperwork, improving transparency, and eliminating corruption in public service hiring. According to the Ministry of Public Service, the new e-recruitment platform will enable job seekers to submit applications electronically, upload academic and professional documents online, and receive notifications digitally throughout the recruitment process. The system is also expected to automate shortlisting and standardize recruitment procedures across all districts and cities. Government officials say one of the key objectives is to minimize direct contact between applicants and District Service Commission officials, a practice that has for years been linked to bribery, favoritism, document handling challenges, and recruitment irregularities. By digitizing the process, authorities hope to restore public confidence and ensure jobs are awarded based on merit rather than personal influence. The reform follows longstanding concerns raised by Parliament, oversight institutions, and anti-corruption agencies over widespread allegations of bribery in district recruitment. Previous reports indicated that many job seekers were forced to pay illicit sums to secure public service positions, prompting calls for a technology-driven recruitment system. The online recruitment initiative is part of the government's broader digital transformation agenda in public administration and is expected to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs associated with paper-based applications, and create a transparent audit trail for every recruitment exercise. The Ministry says the system will gradually be rolled out across local governments and will become the standard platform for recruiting public servants at district and city levels as Uganda advances its digital governance reforms. Hon minister @JustineNameere and I , we pledge to deliver with support from Public Service and Head of public service .

@RukhShana Dont you know the phrase 'my hands are tied'?

I don’t know what is more concerning. That the regulator tweeted about a shutdown not sanctioned by them? That the tweet came at 5:00 PM over an incident that happened at 1:00 AM? That the Military Chief declared only he could sanction reopening the media houses? That a public order to arrest media lead @SueNsibirwa came via X? That the CDF actually believes the press should be 'guided by cadres of the revolution,' or that the Head of State (the last known one, at least) allows all this to happen in silence? How will this be recorded in the history our children’s children read? 🤔 or maybe the ‘writers of history’ will pretend none of it happened!

@DailyMonitor So is Kabalega international airport going to be a local hub?

@janegisha @keithnamu @GabrielBuule @EdmondAgaba2 @bamwinejnr @Esau_Matsiko On DSTV it's not HD but if you access it via DSTV stream it's very clear

To everyone wondering about the picture quality of our World Cup broadcast,From our end, the picture on free-to-air is HD. The issue seems to be with some pay TV platforms where the signal appears compressed. @keithnamu @GabrielBuule @EdmondAgaba2

@tufre80 Had never heard of Curacao before! Thanks to the worldcup

Beyond the 10 official nations, Africa’s footprint is all over #WorldCup2026. ​The black talent spans the direct diaspora, the Caribbean, the Americas and naturalised pipelines. ​Qatar's Aspire Academy has already generated results with the Gulf nation competing with the big boys, while tiny Curaçao takes on Germany today.✊🏾

This so called hydration break is actually a commercial break!! Time for FIFA to advertise

@StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni @UG_Airlines @Boeing This is a very wise investment. Acquiring from a single manufacturer gives a leverage on training, repairs,and ultimately it's very cost effective in the long run

President @KagutaMuseveni today witnessed the signing of a landmark agreement between @UG_Airlines and @Boeing for the acquisition of 10 new aircraft, a major step in expanding Uganda’s aviation capacity and global connectivity. The fleet expansion, which includes passenger and cargo aircraft, will strengthen trade, tourism, and investment, and position Uganda as a key regional aviation hub.

Julien Alfred and Tebogo are just in their own league

@africatodayMG Instead of laying strategies to combat the pandemic he's busy meandering to watch football?

BREAKING: Congolese President Tshisekedi Stuck at Budapest Airport Over Ebola Concerns President Félix Tshisekedi was held up at Budapest Airport after arriving with a delegation to attend the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal, sources claim. Hungarian airport authorities refused him entry, stating they had not been notified of the arrival and citing the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the DRC as the reason. In a twist, his brother, Christian Tshisekedi, is said to have landed in Hungary days earlier with friends, traveling via Brussels on multiple private jets and already on site for the match. The incident has sparked questions about protocol and travel restrictions amid the health crisis.

@andrewsuleh Say the whole world

No country in East Africa has the expertise and experience in Dealing with Ebola virus outbreak better than Uganda.

@jkmiguellon @NWSCMD @nwsc_ug I left Kitende for that reason and moved to mattugga, here it's Sahara desert. Luckily God brings rain

@NWSCMD @nwsc_ug We have noted. But how comes places like Kitende on Entebbe road, supply of water is a luxury? Don't you have a budget for that area of your team forgot about it?

Dear friends: I have been following efforts to drag @NWSCMD into certain things! I would like to point to the following facts: I) I have been at @nwsc_ug since for about 32yrs and we have tried to do things administratively right, albeit some gaps.

@FoxNews We don't need American doctors to treat ebola in uganda

An American doctor who treated Ebola patients in Uganda has arrived in the Czech Republic after being evacuated from the region. The move comes as health officials race to contain a growing Ebola outbreak tied to the rare Bundibugyo strain, a variant with no approved vaccine or treatment. Another U.S. doctor infected during the outbreak was flown to Germany for care after developing symptoms while working in Congo. The WHO has already declared the outbreak a global health emergency.
