Small-scale vendors of Wi-Fi and internet hotspots should not be banned. Instead, UCC could come up with an appropriate licensing framework for them that is not as cumbersome as that of the big players.

I might not know much about @WilliamsRuto but this affordable housing project is such a great project. I managed to see it first hand in Kisumu this week.
The only bing problem is the selection of who benefits. Unfortunately,it’s still the rich. Also,make them sustainable/green

And we can’t wait to listen at the COP 31 side event on exactly this story!!
Not just accessible but also affordable, reliable, better and sustainable.
Not forgetting, we need a transition plan. The jobs???
Our government loves to dream small

The ban on charcoal sale can only be viable if Gov’t ensures that alternative energy sources are easily accessible to the population.

With funding from @FCDOGovUK, IOM 🇺🇬 recently engaged Private Recruitment Agencies (PRAs) on ethical recruitment practices to support safer labour migration pathways and better protect the rights of Ugandan migrant workers.
Looks like I might never use @UG_Airlines .They charge twice the price of their competitors.I don't get their business model,but all I can say is that patriotism isn't enough of a bargaining chip. How can you tell me a one-way to Nairobi is $341.95?That's 1.4m!Let me go elsewhere
Yesterday I traveled from Kampala to Fort Portal but couldn’t help feeling the pain of stepping into Tooro with no King Oyo. Tried to see if the signpost in Kyegegwa still exists.I relived the livestreams I watched of the return & funeral.
God,have mercy on his family&friends

Today I had an opportunity to bid Farewell to @antonioguterres the UN Secretary General after completing my tour of duty as Ambassador of Uganda to the UN. I have had a close working relationship and a Father figure who checked on to see if I was doing well. Since 2017 we have worked together on various UN processes, Buenos Aires plan of action on south-south cooperation(BUPA), Pact of the future, Financing for Development(FFD), UN 75, UN80 reforms, UN Budget, support to Entebbe regional service center, reform of the UN Development system, and regional peace and security. He visited Uganda twice during my term. I wished him the best in the remaining three months as one of the most consequential UN Secretary Generals. I bid farewell to UN Secretary-General António Guterres after my tenure as Uganda’s UN ambassador. Since 2017, he has been a mentor and close collaborator on BUPA, the Pact of the Future, FFD, UN75, UN80 reforms, the UN budget, Entebbe’s regional center, development reform, and regional security; he visited Uganda twice. I wished him well in his final three months as a consequential leader.
I never thought anyone in Uganda’s government has any drop of humanity but now I’m hopeful.
Not saying his a saint but this is good.
In the UK, the PM is answerable to the opposition. He faces them for Q&A & accountability. In Uganda, they torture & kill opposition

I warmly welcome the inclusion of Ugandan passport holders in South Africa’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system.
This is a positive development for our people and a further reflection of the warm and cordial bilateral relations between Uganda and South Africa.
It will facilitate greater movement and interaction between our two countries, while supporting tourism, business, trade, investment and people-to-people ties.
🇺🇬🇿🇦 We welcome the introduction of South Africa’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for Ugandan passport holders.
Ugandan travellers can apply through the official South African eTA portal: eta.dha.gov.za
