I have petitioned the @EUinUG and the German Embassy in UG regarding recent discriminatory practices I faced during the visa process. This occurred after my accreditation by @UNFCCC to participate in the 60th session of Subsidiary Bodies @UNBonn

Before you judge a man, look at what he has done.
I am Dr. Lawrence Muganga, and I want to tell you about a man I know well: Apostle Grace Lubega of @Phanerookampala.
I have seen his work with my own eyes. @VUKampala, he pays tuition for many students who, without his intervention, might never have had the opportunity to get an education. Today, they sit in classrooms pursuing dreams they once thought were impossible, simply because he chose to give them a chance.
And that is not all.
Phaneroo visits prisoners every week. They pray with them, encourage them and give them hope for a new beginning. They also feed street children every week and help them access education. They take food and essential supplies to families in need in Karamoja. They organise medical camps for the sick, support orphanages and schools, and equip young people with new skills, including technology. They even extend support to pastors from other churches.
He does not wait for government funding or public recognition. He sees a need and takes action, often quietly and away from the spotlight.
Jesus taught us this in Matthew 6:3 (NIV): "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."
That is the kind of man Apostle Grace is.
The Bible also reminds us why God gives us leaders like him.
Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) tells us: "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up."
And it tells us how to regard them in 1 Thessalonians 5:13 (NIV): "Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other."
So, before we attack a man who seeks peace, let us pause and reflect. Think of the students who now have an opportunity to study. Think of the prisoners who have found renewed hope. Think of the street children who now have food and a chance at a better future. Think of the families whose lives have been touched by these acts of service.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:9 (NIV): "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Let us choose respect. Let us choose peace. Let us learn to disagree without being disrespectful, question without being malicious, and criticise without overlooking the good.
Have a blessed weekend. 🙏🏾

I have watched with considerable interest the criticism directed at Apostle Grace Lubega for attending a PLU meeting of religious leaders.
And I ask, since when did the presence of a man of God at a political gathering become evidence of the surrender of his conscience?
Those who condemn him must answer a few questions.
When biblical prophets confronted kings, were they endorsing their kingdoms? When Nathan approached David, did he become an accomplice to David's transgressions? When Daniel served in the courts of Babylon, did he abandon his God?
We must distinguish access from allegiance, engagement from endorsement, and presence from political submission.
A pastor is a citizen before the law, a spiritual leader before his congregation, and a moral voice within society. His calling does not extinguish his constitutional freedoms.
Indeed, if religious leaders must only engage those whose politics they approve of, who then shall speak truth to those with whom they disagree?
Judge the substance of his engagement, the independence of his voice and the consistency of his conduct.
For a society that demands religious leaders influence national affairs while condemning them for entering the rooms where national affairs are discussed suffers from a profound contradiction.
And I leave his critics with one question:
If you forbid the shepherd from entering the corridors of power, by what means do you expect him to confront the wolves who occupy them?
Over to you.

Today, I met the UNICEF Country Representative to Uganda for a high-level bilateral engagement centered on advancing our shared strategic vision for the protection, development, and empowerment of all Ugandan children.
Our discussions reaffirmed the enduring partnership between the Government of Uganda and @UNICEFUganda, highlighting our mutual commitment to strengthening child protection systems, broadening access to quality education and healthcare, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for every child.
As we pursue our national development objectives, sustained collaboration with international development partners remains vital to addressing systemic challenges, safeguarding vulnerable households, and guaranteeing that no child is left behind. Investing in the holistic well-being of our children remains the cornerstone of Uganda’s long-term prosperity and sustainable future.

Moments worth sharing!
As part of the youth delegation from Umoja Ni Nguvu, I had the honour of paying a courtesy visit to Hon. Okello Oryem, former First Son under the government of H.E. Gen. Tito Okello Lutwa and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, with over two decades of diplomatic experience.
Beyond the mentorship and opportunity to drink directly from his pot of wisdom, I was particularly moved by his reflections on life before, during and after his father's government. He spoke with great appreciation of the period following its overthrow, a defining chapter that shaped the man he became and the values he upholds of honesty, transparency, zero tolerance for crooked deals, patience, perseverance and hope (Diyu cwiny)
His story was such a powerful reminder that leadership is not merely about the positions we occupy, but the values we uphold, especially when circumstances change.
As young people with lasting ambitions to better our communities, we must deliberately embrace intergenerational conversations. We have much to learn from those who have walked before us, and much to contribute to the future we seek to create.

“ If my father maintained power, I was going to die so early, in fact I wouldn’t be here now - Rakai would have taken me in the mornings of my life ”.
Together with my colleagues of Umoja Ni Nguvu, we shared a great afternoon with honorable Okello Oryem, Foreign Affairs state minister emeritus.
He talked to us on a myriad of issues, stemming from Uganda’s history( Evolution), Our diplomatic standing , family discipline and the youth question.
Very notable is the aspect of hope in life. He said hope is the most important thing that any youth should plant in their lives. ( Rubanga Tye!)
Okello Oryem was a state minister of foreign affairs for more than two decades.
Son of the former President, Tito Okello Lutwa.
From us it was more of asking and listening.
Great full he allowed us to drink from his wealth of experience.

Yesterday, I had the honor of joining the people of Lango to celebrate the 2nd Coronation Anniversary of His Highness Won Nyaci Me Lango.
The vibrant celebration was a powerful testament to the enduring strength of our cultural heritage, identity, and shared values. Our traditions remain the very bedrock of our unity, social cohesion, and collective responsibility.
As we honor our heritage, let us continue to embrace our diversity, reinforce the bonds that bind us, and safeguard our cultural institutions as strong pillars for generations to come.A united Lango is a stronger Lango.

With the next Guild President of Makerere University @JanetAkatukunda . Met her in her high school when she was still the Head Girl of Bweranyangi Girls, now she’s aspiring to lead one the toppest Universities in Africa
My brother, I think you are speaking for yourself, not for the nation or the entire students' fraternity. You may have withdrawn your respect and solidarity for @kadondigracious , but that does not mean the country or the student community shares your position. We still hold her in high regard!
Secondly, what exactly are you saying Kadondi failed to learn? What precisely did the other leaders do that Kadondi has failed to do? perharps it should guide her?
What has destroyed many young leaders is us, merely mounting pressure on them and the constant comparison with predecessors rather than objectively assessing them on individual merit and conduct!!!
Many will understand this after a year or more. @MutebiEdward224 Big up!
As for @kadondigracious the respect, the solidarity the students community and the country at large had for u died many months ago. You failed to learn from ladies who came before you and led at the hill that have since continued leadership outside the university. You failed to understand that a GP of Makerere University is different from that of Muni-University. You low-key followed the dead footprint of Nyanzi's son, the only difference is that Nyanzi's son can choose to be stupid all he wants the family is rich and influential and already has public solidarity.
I wish you well if you choose to reorganize yourself and get back on your feet and do the right thing in your few remaining days in office

The culture is the President speaks (a ritual) before the last performer of the night at the Freshers Ball. But all time the part of organizers team warned everyone not to allow the Guild President to speak. They gave all MCs instructions.
The first man to resign after being fired! 😂
What a rather comical letter. You cannot resign your way out of a suspension and then package it as a heroic exit. 😂
Dear Madam President @kadondigracious, kindly receive.
Thank you (and yours) for the opportunity to serve. I resign with a bright smile.

Son, this mindset should end here, soon in the the work environment, employees sacrifice alot for the bosses and still do not complain.

This Letter is evident enough that the minister intentionally didn't want the president to speak. Besides on his tweet he goes on to sound much more defensive on the side of fik fameica and leaves his boss undefended for what she deserved unconditionally.........
The honourable minister was just horrible enough.... shameless greeder

Earlier today I participated in the NRM Chapter Cleaning Exercise, an initiative that demonstrated the importance of patriotism, unity and collective responsibility.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the Office of the Prime Minister @R_Nabbanja and the NRM Youth League Chairperson @tanga_collins for the leadership, mobilisation and commitment towards engaging young people in nation building.
I strongly believe that leadership is demonstrated through service, not just positions. As young people, we must remain active participants in shaping the Uganda we aspire to build.

Today, at the 5th Annual Governance and Security Programme Review, I highlighted the critical congestion in Uganda’s juvenile justice facilities, most notably at Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centre, where 1,233 children occupy space intended for 780. Urgent ministerial action is imperative to ensure our state care system protects the basic rights and human dignity of these young people.
To resolve this crisis, we are prioritizing faster case processing, expanded diversion mechanisms, facility upgrades, and root-cause reintegration. I also sincerely thank our development partners for supporting the construction of the Moroto Remand Home, vital for expanding access to justice in Karamoja.
I call on Programme leadership and security to immediately convert these resolutions into fully resourced work plans with strict performance metrics. State custody must not be a dead end; our mandate is to protect rights, restore dignity, and ensure every child receives a meaningful second chance.
