Day 1 at @afrisig is exciting. Happy to be getting further educated on internet and digital governance, Africa and global processes, AI and AI just frameworks.
It is inspiring to learn alongside different stakeholders from different sectors and institutions across the continent. This knowledge will help shape our legislative engagement
Happy to be part of the @afrisig 2026 Fellows cohort.
My objective at @afrisig is to continue advocating for a Green Internet Governance agenda for Africa — where every digital policy on data, e-waste, and AI has a climate lens and inclusion.
My specific interest is connecting internet governance to climate justice, particularly how we govern e-waste disposal, the growing energy footprint of our data and data centers, and how we ensure Africa's digital transformation is climate-resilient and sustainable.
Surely, congratulations to @UG_Airlines for launching the new Entebbe - Accra route!
This does not only promote transport and connectivity, but it brings Ghanaians and Ugandans, and the rest of Africa, closer economically and strengthens the bilateral relations between our two countries.
I am proud to have been a passenger on this historic route and to have made history with a maiden smooth flight to Accra, Ghana. A great experience of true African hospitality in the skies.
Well done to @UG_Airlines for connecting Africa.
As we concluded the Africa Single Digital @KTASymposium , there was a unified call for a Single Digital Market to enable deeper digital integration across the continent.
The symposium closed with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by five e-commerce associations from Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda and South Sudan to establish the Pan-African E-Commerce Alliance.
This agreement marks a major step towards a united private sector voice for digital trade and a more connected African digital market, building on a vision for stronger e-commerce and regional integration.

I joined the @UUwopa for the Annual General Meeting held at the @Parliament_Ug .
It was exciting to share and reflect on how legislators are keen to pursue representation through a gender lens.
Plenary for @EA_Bunge was adjourned sine die.
We passed key business including:

While addressing the inaugural EAC Children's Summit on Climate Change, which adopted the Kampala Children's EAC Declaration on Climate calling on leaders to prioritize children's needs in regional climate policies & action, I also encouraged them to grow up as exemplary citizens
Together with youth from EAC Partner States convened by @AGRA_Africa , we held a productive dialogue on how young people can transform agrifood systems across East Africa.
The @EA_Bunge Youth Parliamentary Dialogue was key in unpacking agrifood systems & CAADP k'la declaration
I congratulate @ann_lumumba Ruyondo Todwong upon taking the Oath of Allegiance today as the new Chairperson of the @womencouncilUG 's

I joined my colleagues on the Executive Committee of @NetworkOfCC for strategic planning for the future of the Network, and on how to effectively influence the upcoming @UNFCCC #COP31 processes to ensure they genuinely reflect Africa's interests and priorities.
It was an honour to receive @hon_emma_muteka Vice Chairperson of the National Council of @Namibianparl , at the recently held Africa Governance Legislative Forum held @EA_Bunge .

𝐀𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐚| The President of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), H.E. Dr Fateh Boutbig, paid a courtesy call on the Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), Rt. Hon. Joseph Ntakirutimana, in Arusha, where both leaders were attending the 153rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
The Pan-African Parliament President was accompanied by Hon. Djidda Mamar Mahamat, Third Vice President of the Pan-African Parliament.
The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between the continental Parliament and regional parliamentary bodies such as EALA. The leaders discussed moving beyond occasional exchanges and ceremonial engagements towards a more structured relationship—one in which the work and perspectives of regional parliaments can inform the Pan-African Parliament’s deliberations and contribute to closer institutional coordination.
The discussions align with the Pan-African Parliament’s mandate to promote the programmes and objectives of the African Union in Member States, and to promote the coordination and harmonisation of policies, measures, programmes and activities of Africa’s Regional Economic Communities and parliamentary fora.
Both sides underscored the value of closer collaboration in advancing shared continental and regional priorities.
