The Deputy Commissioner General explained that rehabilitation not only transforms offenders into productive citizens but also contributes directly to poverty reduction, community safety and national development.

The maize silos at Lugore and Ruimi Prison Farms have strengthened grain storage capacity, reduced post-harvest losses and improved food security.

Recently, Uganda Red Cross received 18 vehicles on behalf of the @IFRCAfrica, which will be delivered to neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo to support the #Ebola response efforts. The Magma flight landed at around 7:05 PM, and our teams supported the successful offloading of all the vehicles. This is the power of humanitarian cross-border collaboration — working together across borders to strengthen emergency response and save lives. #EbolaResponseUG2026

It was an honour to join the launch of "The Man Who Heard Every Heart", a biography of Rt. Rev. Dr. Henry Luke Orombi. Dr. Orombi's life is a powerful testament to faith, integrity and servant leadership. I was privileged to stand alongside Archbishop Stephen Kazimba Mugalu, clergy and fellow Ugandans in celebrating his life and legacy. I was humbled by Dr. Orombi's gracious words of recognition. His example reminds us that true leadership is rooted in service, humility and commitment to God's calling. To God be the glory.
