Thank you my friend Gen.Salim Saleh for your swift intervention and care for the coffee farmers in Masaka region who have been severely affected by the recent harsh drought season.
Thank you for listening to the farmers' petitions and escalating their grievances directly to Parliament's committee heads. Your recognition of the devastating impact of the bad weather on our plantations, and your advocacy for structural solutions like agricultural insurance, brings immense hope to the community.
Through your leadership at @OWC_ug , you continue to prove your dedication to protecting the backbone of Uganda's economy and securing the livelihoods of our hardworking smallholder farmers. We pray that these efforts lead to speedy relief and long-term climate resilience for Greater Masaka's coffee sector.
Thank you for always standing with the people once again General.

🇺🇬 Gen Salim Saleh, Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation, told the heads of Parliament’s committees that coffee farmers who lost their crop to bad weather have petitioned him, and “I don’t know where to take this petition”.
“If there was agriculture insurance then that would have paid them,” he said at Kapeeka, Nakaseke District, on 30 October 2026, naming northern Uganda and Masaka among the areas hit.
He said he would send the petition to a committee chairperson present, and was told it would be “received by the speakers in parliament” and referred “to the relevant committee”.
Your Majesty Ssaabasajja Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II,
I am writing to you with a heart overflowing with joy, gratitude, and profound humility following our meeting at the Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
Your Majesty, the extraordinary gesture you extended in welcoming and greeting me personally during the Masaza Cup Finals was a moment of immense honor & privilege that I will forever cherish.
To witness your radiant smile, your vitality, and your deep love as you stood before your subjects brought an indescribable wave of happiness not just to me, but to all of Buganda and Uganda.
Your presence at Wankulukuku was a powerful testament to your enduring strength and an anchor of unity for your people. As a loyal subject, seeing you grace the kingdom with such warmth and grace fills me with renewed hope and pride.
I pray that the Almighty God continues to bless Your Majesty with abundant health, divine protection, and a long, peaceful reign.
Awangaale Sabasajja Kabaka! Magulu Nnyondo!

Stay positive. This is not where your story ends. You will find your feet, make new plans and enjoy your life again.EKS.

If proving me wrong requires destroying my name, you weren’t defending truth. You were feeding something darker.
Disagree with me. Please. I'll even buy you a soda while you do it. But the day your disagreement starts needing a whisper campaign, a fake smile, and three WhatsApp groups, it stopped being disagreement. That's war.

IMF/WORLD BANK MEETINGS END IN BANGKOK
It has been a beehive of activity here in Bangkok, Thailand for the last one week especially at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.
One of the last engagements was the 54th meeting of International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) which advises and reports to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Board of Governors on the management and supervision of global monetary and financial system.
Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury (PSST) @rggoobi as well as the Governor Bank of Uganda, Michael Atingi-Ego attended the meeting chaired by the Minister of Finance of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Aljadaan whose term of office was also extended for one year during the meeting.
Aljadaan said the global economy has weathered the latest in a series of shocks better than expected, adding that buffers have been eroded and resilience cannot be taken for granted.
“Wars and conflicts continue to impose a heavy humanitarian toll, with large economic costs and significant negative spillovers. Disruptions to supply chains and trade tensions are adding to uncertainty and price pressures,” he said.
He said priority will be given to promoting macroeconomic and financial stability through sound and consistent macroeconomic policies and multilateral cooperation, adding that Central Banks remain strongly committed to ensuring price stability consistent with their respective mandates.
The IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the world economy has been resilient but that resilience is getting depleted and her advice was that members must rebuild buffers, reduce debt, strengthen cyber resilience, embrace artificial intelligence (AI), detect and address vulnerabilities and be courageous to implement the necessary reforms.
The key message for sovereigns is that fiscal vulnerabilities should be urgently addressed and consolidation efforts should be advanced, supported by credible medium-term frameworks to ensure fiscal and debt sustainability.
