Aliko Dangote: I applaud President Museveni for his bold decision to ban the export of unprocessed minerals. I also want to commit to the two presidents here that, with their support for the refinery, we will build a similar one in East Africa like the one we have in Nigeria.

As a District, @rotaryd9213 we have raised over $1 million, connected with more than 20,000 people through Family Health Days, inspired 1,500 young leaders, and shared our story with 540 million people using #RotaryEyamba. This is what it means to unite for good. Yet our journey is far from over. I urge every Rotarian, Rotaractor, and partner to press on with renewed determination. Let’s serve deeper, give greater, and extend our impact even further. Every day left is a new opportunity. Let’s finish strong and create a legacy that will inspire generations to come. #RotaryEyamba

@KampalaPlatinum was well represented at the 101 Rotary District Conference.

Grateful to @GKitakule for such a memorable Rotary 101 District Conference just concluded at Imperial Resort Hotel, Entebbe. Thank you @KampalaPlatinum for the representation. @xsentamu

@skaheru @rkabushenga @UG_Airlines @tebsbalis Thank God for His Mercy.

#Grateful to God and the calm competency and professionalism of Capt. Tonny Tebajanga of @UG_Airlines. In a freak incident mid-air shortly after we left Johannesburg, one half of the windscreen of the plane shattered. @tebsbalis quietly and steadily held the situation even though some of us could tell things were not right, and flew us back to Johannesburg.

@Mkainerugaba_ We thank God for General Sabiiti's recovery. A distinguished leader indeed.

Sending prayers and positive vibes for Major General Sabiiti's quick recovery, man! 🙏 I hope he gets well soon and bounce back strong, like the wise leader he is. Let's all join hands to pray for this man's health and send some love his way. I pray for Major General Sabiiti’s quick recovery and all his unsung heroes to support him. I am sure the power of prayer will help him, so let's keep it up, yeah.

@KagutaMuseveni Many thanks, Mr. President for meeting them and for the opportunity to serve the nation in other capacities.

I want to thank Hon. Michael Tusiime and Hon. Bonny Kashaija for patriotically agreeing not to stand for elections as independents in order not to divide our people. They have told me their grievances even from a criminal angle and I am going to check and follow up. I also thank Amb. Adonia for bringing them to me.

@HEALTH__LIVING Strength

Did you know?

@Kateshd Congratulations @Kateshd hard work pays dividends. Best wishes and blessings

@edthnaka @BitaturePatrick Really sad. May the Almighty's presence comfort the family through it all.

I can’t find the words to express how sad I am following the passing of Marvin Beine Bitature. His grieving parents Patrick and Carol @BitaturePatrick are dear friends of mine who’ve made significant contributions to the development of our country. This is heartbreaking news! I pray that God gives Marvin’s family and friends the strength they need in this terrible time.

@musakyazze Thank you Moses

@irumanyika Good perspective, Ian. That's the reality we all face and also awaits others. Perhaps it speaks to the typical training of a tax collector and how much kyc they are exposed to. Understanding your clients' environment is key to nurturing your own business.

By Ian Rumanyika A Shift in Perspective For 12 years, I worked within the walls of the Uganda Revenue Authority, with a slogan before me, Developing Uganda Together and the weight of responsibility. My role was clear: promote compliance, Taxpayer education, Service delivery and collect revenue as an outcome to support the nation's growth. In many cases from my vantage point, businesses were entities with deep pockets, and many times you would think some are reluctant to part with their hard-earned profits. I saw their reluctance to comply with tax laws as a challenge to be overcome. But life had other plans. After a decade and 2 years of serving the public sector, I made the bold decision to join the private sector. The transition was jarring, like shedding a skin that had grown too tight. Suddenly, I found myself in the trenches, grappling with the very businesses I once oversaw from afar. The first few months were an eye-opener as interacted with manufacturers. I witnessed firsthand the struggles businesses face to break even, to stay afloat in a sea of competition and uncertainty. The assumption that businesses are inherently profitable, that they simply don't want to comply with tax laws, began to crumble. I saw the late nights, the early mornings, the endless cups of coffee, and the prayers for a good day. One particular recent case is the KFC story. Many Ugandans have come out to condemn the brand for allegedly hiding behind a veil of expansion and advertising to mask their losses. How could a brand that seemed so successful be making losses? But as I navigated the complex world of business ownership, I began to understand, seating in privileged position can give you false impressions. Businesses make strategic decisions, often counterintuitive to outsiders. Expansion and advertising can be investments in the future, bets on growth and market share. Losses might be a temporary reality, a necessary evil to achieve long-term success. My perspective shifted, much like the blind man in the biblical story who shouted, "I can see!" Indeed, I could see. I saw the resilience of businesses, their determination to persist despite the odds. I saw the different strategies they employed, the innovative solutions they crafted, and the unwavering commitment to their vision. As a business owner myself, I've come to realize that success is not solely defined by profit margins. It's about building a brand, creating value, and leaving a lasting impact. The private sector has taught me the importance of adaptability, creativity, and perseverance. It is without a doubt that my time in the Uganda Revenue Authority gave me a solid foundation, but my experience in the private sector has given me a new appreciation for the complexities of business. I've learned to see beyond the surface level, to understand the intricacies of entrepreneurship. And so, I'll continue to navigate this complex landscape, armed with a newfound understanding of the challenges and triumphs of businesses. The blinders are off, and I can see the world of business in all its beauty and complexity.

@mkainerugaba Happy birthday, Gen. Blessings for the years ahead

I want to thank my family and the thousands of friends and supporters who sent me birthday wishes today. Thank you very much for all the love. God bless you all and God bless Uganda!

@wekesa_amos Happiest birthday, bro. Blessings for the years ahead

52yrs Old today I am not big at celebrating birthdays but they are days of reflections always and just thanking God the creator. Like I wrote last week, we get one chance to be born, just one chance to be young, one to be old before we die. Many don’t get a chance to be born( I don’t know what that means), others don’t get a chance to be young, others don’t get a chance to experience old age too. Days, weeks, months, years are longer when you are young because you have lots of time. At my age, everyday is too short so are the years. I have been blessed with family, work, friends of all types, some enemies or haters( some of these inspires us to do stuff and without them, we would probably do less) In my life, some people have told me you can’t do that and this and in my heart, I have quietly told them, I will prove you wrong and it’s has happened. Am thankful for those times too. Imagine I wasn’t told that? On my birthdays, once in a while reflect on what my mum told not along ago, Son, you were born at the worst stage of my life and wanted to end your life not because I didn’t love you but because I didn’t want to see you suffer. She adds, if 6 people hadn’t told me that particular week to leave you alone in my dreams, you wouldn’t have lived and now as an adult, I see why God spared you. He knew you better than I did. My mama also told me I thought you would turn out daft at an earlier stage, your brains opened up around the age of 9. She didn’t understand how hustlers work. We are born for a purpose and I thank God as an adult, I discovered my purpose in life and I have both enjoyed the walk and sometimes hated the purpose. In some bad times, I have asked God why me? I have also asked God in some good times, why me? It’s because I don’t understand everything because am not in charge of everything I do or have done. With all my weaknesses I have always prayed to God for 3 things, His protection, wisdom and favor before human beings and yes, I have experienced that. Between the age of 50 and 60 is a stage of take off so I believe and if God gives me an opportunity to experience that, well and good but if His will is different, I will be grateful anyways. Anyhow, blessed day!
