My greatest contentment lies not in the material accumulation but in the light i carry in my brain, the light of debunking falsehoods that i was raised in and into. I may not inspire the same in others, but i shall at least die a freeman. Start your own journey now.

Today the Committee on Education and Sports inspected the Kyambogo University training facilities and Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, to assess readiness for AFCON 2027. These sites are central to Uganda’s co-hosting role with Kenya and Tanzania. Namboole remains on the government’s 31 December 2026 completion target; Kyambogo is among the designated training grounds. Oversight continues so public funds deliver CAF-compliant venues on time. Uganda cannot afford delays. #AFCON2027 #Namboole #ParliamentUg

Today the NRM Parliamentary Caucus met at Kololo under the National Chairman, President Yoweri Museveni — the fourth sitting of the first session of the 12th Parliament, after recess. Dr Jane Ruth Aceng briefed the meeting. The President told MPs to return to NRM methods: barazas and direct contact, not costly events that distance leaders from the people. He pointed to Hon. Balaam Barugahara’s village-level anti-corruption work as the approach he wants applied after the fight against corruption in the army. On PDM, every MP must check who has received the Shs 1 million and who has not, so the 33 percent still outside the money economy are covered. Funds for persons with disabilities, raised by Hon. Laura Kanushu, must not be diverted. Wetland occupants must leave. In Busoga, Bukedi and Kigezi, Government will support a shift into fish farming. Irrigation is now a must. On security, he flagged killings in Ibanda, cattle theft in Kyankwanzi and theft in Kagadi, and tasked Internal Affairs and the police to act. MPs must report livestock and coffee theft and murders. He also pressed Ayago and further power, including solar and nuclear, the railway, and the Hoima refinery under a value-addition strategy. Dr Aceng conveyed condolences to Tooro on the passing of King Oyo and congratulations to King Edward Kijanangoma Nyabongo I. She reported 75 petitions involving NRM MPs and flag bearers, and asked for support with legal costs. She also updated the meeting on the Agriculture Regulatory Bill, 2026, and the Kampala Expressway toll report, which recommends investigations by the IGG, DPP, CID and URA. The Caucus adopted nine resolutions: fight corruption through ground supervision, including in health and education; watch crime; monitor PDM; protect PWD funds; prioritise water and irrigation; support Ayago, Kiba, solar and nuclear; back the railway and oil refinery; and support East African and African integration toward a common market. From Kibale County, that is the work: follow the money to the household, protect the wetland, and stay with the people. #NRMParliamentaryCaucus #KibaleCounty

Yesterday, Friday 25 September 2026, I had the honour of representing the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Education and Sports, Hon. Eng. Cuthbert Abigaba, who had been delegated by the Speaker of Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Jacob Markson Oboth, at the official closure of the 30th Makerere University Business School Annual International Management Conference at Imperial Golf View Hotel, Entebbe. This was a privileged assignment. MUBS is a national asset in management education, research and professional formation. As an alumnus, I was proud to stand with the Principal, the Conference Chair, faculty, researchers and visiting scholars as they marked three decades of this conference under the theme of knowledge revolution, innovation and sustainable development in Africa. On behalf of the Speaker and the Committee, I conveyed Parliament’s appreciation to the MUBS fraternity for a successful research agenda and a well-executed conference. Scholarship that stays on the shelf does not serve the citizen. I therefore challenged researchers to convert papers into actionable policy and measurable results on the ground, and invited them to serve concise policy briefs to parliamentary committees, beginning with the Committee on Education and Sports. Parliament legislates and oversees on the strength of evidence. When universities place usable knowledge before committees, oversight improves, appropriation becomes more precise, and public programmes stand a better chance of delivering for learners, workers and communities. That is the bridge this assignment asked us to keep open. I thank the Rt. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Eng. Abigaba for the confidence placed in me, and I thank MUBS for the courtesy extended. I look forward to receiving the policy briefs that should now follow this conference. Okwi Constantine (MP) Member of Parliament Kibale County, Pallisa District

As Parliament Committee on Education and Sports we have visited Akii-Bua Olympic Stadium in Lira City. It is a unique asset for the country and a concrete testament to the visionary leadership of the @NRMOnline government under HE, @KagutaMuseveni . The committee was generally impressed with the progress but advised that a business plan for sustainable use should be prioritized and the stadium be granted AFCON 2027 business.

How to obtain and keep power according to Machiavellianism Ascent that lasts is civil conferral converted immediately into a principality of one’s own arms and institutions. In Machiavelli’s scheme, that is path five completed by path two. The reasons are empirical rather than pious. First, base. A prince who only serves a noble clique is overthrown by another clique. A prince who only rides foreign guns is overthrown when the guns leave. A prince who only terrifies is overthrown by the next terrorist. A broad civilian base plus a loyal domestic coercive instrument is the combination that repeatedly survives the death of the first generation. Post-Meiji Japan, the early People’s Republic after the civil war whatever one thinks of its ethics, Singapore, and stable constitutional monarchies that fused dynasty with law and a national army all illustrate the pattern. Second, information. Popular dependence, even if unequal, forces some responsiveness. Pure crime and pure occupation starve the ruler of true reports. Third, succession. Inheritance works after institutions exist. Crime and fortune do not generate a rule of succession. They generate a scramble. Fourth, external shock. Own-arms regimes can bargain with outsiders. Client regimes cannot. Fifth, moral residue as a material constraint. Machiavelli denies that glory attaches to crime. Later evidence agrees in a practical way. Criminal origins raise the discount rate of every investor and officer. What is not most sustainable is waiting for inheritance, because one may never be the heir; living on a sponsor; or founding the state on a massacre and calling the massacre a constitution. Two caveats follow from the text. First, the people must be organised, not flattered. Unorganised popularity is weather. Second, virtù includes knowing when to be feared, but fear is a tool for founding and for rare emergencies, not a daily diet. The sustainable prince uses extraordinary means once, then governs through offices, arms that are his, and a population that has more to lose from his fall than from his rule. That is the least romantic reading, and the one that best matches both the text and the record of states that outlive their founders.

It was a great pleasure to join my brother @atekerteso at Kadungulu Primary School for his Parliamentary Thanksgiving function. The first time in over 20 years @NRMOnline celebrated a parliamentary victory in Kasilo County, Serere district-Well done Hon. Peter Paul Emaju! I applaud the Church led by Papa Bishop Hosea Odongo, @OgwangOgwang the guest of honor, @IbaseretJose @Davidokwera2 @Etop410139 @JavierOmagor @Parliament_Ug @pwatchug @NRMOnline @MwesigyeFranks who represented our brother abled @cdfupdf @mkainerugaba as well as the GS. my brother @HonTwallafadil

*The Water That Watches* The sky over Karamoja has forgotten how to weep. Sorghum stands like burnt spears in the dust. Maize curls into fists and dies. A child learns the weight of an empty calabash before she learns the names of the months. They say sixteen, then nineteen. The count is always late. Mothers walk farther for a cup of thin porridge. Cattle thin to bone. The manyatta keeps its silence while the sun writes the same sentence on the earth. Yet the country is not poor in water. Victoria breathes. Kyoga spreads its arms. The Nile remembers every stone it has worn. Swamps hold the sky’s leftover rain and wait, unused, like unopened letters. We have the lakes. We have the rivers. We have the wetlands that could turn a dry garden into a second season. What we do not have is the will to carry that water to the woman whose plot is three acres and whose children eat from it. Pipes find the large farm first. Sprinklers wake for the crop that will travel, the crop that will be counted in dollars, the crop that does not feed the household when the relief truck is late. The smallholder is told to wait for clouds. The smallholder is told the Parish will save her. The smallholder watches the commercial field stay green while her own rows turn to ash. This is the oldest Ugandan riddle: a land of water and a people of thirst. Not because the water is gone, but because it was never asked to serve the garden that feeds the child. Let the canals reach the homestead. Let the solar pump speak the language of the poor. Let the swamp stop being scenery and start being supper. Until then the lakes will keep their counsel, the rivers will keep flowing past the hunger, and Karamoja will keep teaching us what it costs to leave water unused while a nation pretends it has none.

On behalf of the people of Kibale County (Pallisa) and my own behalf, I want in a special way, wish my brother @mkainerugaba all the best following the announcement that he will run for presidency in 2031. As NRM, our elder and generational leader @KagutaMuseveni set the ball rolling for us the new leaders to ensure an even better country is achieved. @PatrioticLg_ug @newvisionwire @JavierOmagor @NRMOnline #Mwebaze #BlessedSeptember #NINs @HonTwallafadil @MwesigyeFranks

Let the world know @mkainerugaba 2031

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION From: General Secretary, Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) The General Secretary of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) hereby informs all PLU members, supporters and patriots that the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. @mkainerugaba has instructed PLU members to demonstrate at the Turkish Embassy on 1 September 2026. All concerned members and PLU structures have been notified of the instruction. Further official guidance will be communicated. Issued by: Rt. Hon. Twalla Fadil General Secretary Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU)

I accompanied my brother and comrade, Hon. Emaju Peter Paul to his constituency, Kasilo in Serere district on Friday 21/08/2026. He was on a service delivery oversight tour. We attended a church service at Ogelak, where we benefitted from the inspired anointing of Bishop Joseph Oliach Eciru and proceeded to an ecstatic collection of constituents at Kagwara. @atekerteso

Today, Maama Janet and I received international evangelist, Bishop Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn at State House Entebbe. She is in Uganda ahead of the consecration of Pastor Patience Rwabwogo as a Bishop. Dr. Osborn recalled her first visit to Uganda in 1985 with her late mother, who ministered to many Ugandans during a difficult period in our history. Maama Janet also fondly recalled Dr. Osborn’s mother, who prayed with our family and gave our children their first Bibles. We reflected on Uganda’s transformation over the years and the enduring friendship between the Osborn family and Uganda. I welcome Dr. Osborn back to Uganda and wish Pastor Patience a blessed consecration.

On behalf of the Patriotic League of Uganda and in my capacity as General Secretary, I extend heartfelt congratulations to the Ibanda team on their hard-fought victory in the Ankole Cup against Bushenyi. The thrilling encounter at Kabwohe Stadium in Sheema was a true showcase of talent, determination, and sportsmanship. Special appreciation goes to Gen. @mkainerugaba for his unwavering support to the teams and his consistent commitment to promoting sports across Uganda. His leadership continues to inspire young people and elevate the game. I also thank the organizers and dedicated PLU die-hards who made this successful event possible: Ambros Kibuka, Musa (Assistant RDC Rwampara), Prince Ashiraf, Hon. Kibaju Charity, Hon. Adrine, and many others whose tireless efforts behind the scenes ensured a memorable day. All MP's and other leaders from the Ankole region, thank you so much for supporting the young people. PLU remains fully committed to supporting such initiatives. We promise continued backing to the organizers and all stakeholders working to develop sports in our communities. Once again, congratulations to Ibanda. Hon. Twalla Fadil General Secretary Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU)

Thrilled to join thousands of christians in Kibuku to celebrate Fr. John Richard Owori's Silver Jubilee of Priesthood. 25 years of faithful service. Honored to represent Pallisa and entire Bukedi sub region. Gratitude to Rt. Hon. Speaker @ObothOboth fellow MPs, and all dignitaries who graced this occasion. @DrWakida @Javieromagor

Following in the steps of the greatest, Congratulations Private Ruhamya Kainerugaba for completing your course. Appreciation and congratulations to My chairman and next president @mkainerugaba and first lady in wait Charlotte Kainerugaba for grooming the best. Another lion has been born

I have come across this misleading headline and wanting reporting gaps. PLU has not and doesn’t intend to use government or parliament money for unbudgeted activities. As an organization we run our activities on good will from our loyal members and well wishers. The @observerug should always report rightly and avoid misleading the public. Thank you
