Before you hit “share,” pause and ask: who created this, can it be verified from credible sources, and is it meant to inform or provoke fear, because verification is a civic responsibility, not censorship. #OpenGovUg

.@azawedde, Ugandans must be cautious of fake or unregulated Al platforms that collect personal data, clone voices or track political views without consent. #OpenGovUg

.@UCC_Official will not tolerate live coverage of riots or violent incidents, incitement or hate speech on air or online, or the unofficial declaration of election results, which is the sole mandate of the @UgandaEC. #GCICMediaReview

Obugalo banange @KiiraMotors!! 🗺️ 7,125km from Kampala to Cape Town. One Made-in-Uganda electric bus. 📊 Proven world-class performance at 0.83 kWh/km, 3,240kg CO₂ avoided—powering clean regional travel, 🤝 cross-border connectivity, and people-to-people movement. 🌍 The Kayoola E-Coach moved freely across AfCFTA states as a tradable African good, 📈 expanded market access for African manufacturers, 🤝 secured a landmark 450 e-bus deal, and proved intra-African trade and harmonized operations at scale. When a system begins producing its own data, capital, and contracts, external narration becomes a lagging indicator. Uganda and Africa have crossed that point. We scale.

Today, @NITA_Uganda and the @pdpoUG engaged professional associations at Next Media Park on data protection & cybersecurity under the #BeeraKuGuard campaign. The discussion focused on privacy, responsible data management, and cybersecurity best practices in today’s evolving digital workplace.
