I attended the official launch of the China–Africa International Trade Industrial Park in China, where I received an update from the proprietor, Mr. Jiang, on plans to establish the Elgon Steel Factory at the Sino-Uganda Mbale Industrial Park (@MbalePark).
The factory, expected to commence commercial production in April 2027, will utilise iron ore from Kabale and other parts of Uganda to manufacture finished iron and steel products for regional and continental markets.
I reiterated Government support through access to essential raw materials, affordable electricity at USD 0.05 per kWh, predictable tax and non-tax incentives, and facilitation of market access.
Together, we shall achieve the Ten-Fold Growth Strategy through industrialisation, mineral value addition and expanded production of locally manufactured goods. @mofpedU @munghinda

MONETARY POLICY STATEMENT | October 2026
The Bank of Uganda has raised the Central Bank Rate (CBR) from 9.75% to 12.0% after a special Monetary Policy Committee meeting on 14 October 2026.
The decision aims to contain rising inflation risks driven by higher fuel prices and exchange rate pressures, while safeguarding price stability.
The Bank also raised the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) from 11.0% to 13.5%, effective 24 September 2026, to manage excess liquidity in the banking system and strengthen monetary policy effectiveness.

We listen to the different opinion, the debates and the positive criticism.
These are the batteries that keep us going
In order to achieve our vision:
"To be the number one football nation in Africa on and off the field"
We must strengthen the senior national teams (Men & Women) to compete and chill with the big boys
This is three-fold agenda which we have been communicating all along
Those suggesting on improving home-grown talent are talking within our plans and tuko pamoja
We will walk this journey as a country together irrespective of who is in charge and with the support of the people and the government of Uganda

President Ruto may have a replay of what happened to Africans living in South Africa at the height of the xenophobic attacks. Ruto is forgetting that East Africans should not be treated as foreigners who must stay anywhere in East Africa based on how much capital they have parted with. This is completely against the East African Protocol on the Free Movement of Goods and Services.

The 2nd Edition of #NationalCleaningDay takes place this Saturday, 29th August 2026.
A cleaner Uganda starts with each of us separating waste at the source. Doing so makes waste collection, recycling, and responsible disposal more effective.

On @CSBAGUGANDA the ED @JuliusMukunda appreciated @PPDAUganda for this partnership and for working with the Civil Society. For a long time, civil society was viewed with suspicion by government entities, but this collaboration signals a new era of joint action against corruption in the public sector.
We are taking this training on the upgraded Contract Monitoring System very seriously. This digital tool is a powerful deterrent to corruption . It allows citizens and CSOs to document project progress in real-time.
This system is crucial because we see too many projects abandoned or contractors paid for work not done, which puts taxpayers' money at risk.
Ugandans.
Later the @PPDAUganda ED @BTuramye and @CSBAGUGANDA
ED @JuliusMukunda signed a Memorandum of Understanding to seal this partnership
