𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: @CNN shines a spotlight on Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Nakasongola District, Uganda.
Did you know that rhinos were declared extinct in Uganda’s wild by 1983 due to widespread poaching and civil conflict?
In 2005, efforts to reintroduce these magnificent animals began at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, marking an important milestone in Uganda’s wildlife conservation journey.

Uganda’s Tourism Marketing Needs Strategy, Not Stunts.
With due respect to the Ugandan Embassy in Berlin, I have to ask: How desperate has our country become?
Signing a 3-year deal with an 8th Tier (Bezirksliga) amateur club in Berlin to market "Explore Uganda."
This is not strategy. This is a cheap, embarrassing copy-paste of @RwandaisOpen 's "Visit Rwanda" model with Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich.
Rwanda went for elite global visibility. We have gone for a district league club whose matches attract 50 people and whose livestream has 20 views. How does this boost destination visibility in Germany with all the travel advisories?
We should be ashamed as a country.
Tourism marketing is a technical, professional job. It belongs to the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) with its market research, source market analysis, and ROI metrics.
Not every dick and harry should be signing MoUs abroad just for PR photos in branded jerseys.
If we want football tourism marketing:
1. Let @TourismBoardUg lead, not Embassies acting in isolation.
2. Do proper due diligence on audience, reach and value for money.
3. Stop this embarrassing copy-paste. Rwanda's strategy cost millions and targeted Champions League audiences. What will an 8th tier Berlin club deliver?
We have the Pearl of Africa, but we are marketing it like a pebble.
Leave tourism to the technical people.

Justice for Javits Frimpong, and prayers for his family as they endure this unimaginable loss. The rise in hostility and hatred toward African immigrants is deeply disturbing and should not be ignored.

🚨 5 years late. Billions spent. Still no patient treated. Where is the Lubowa hospital money going, Uganda?
Here's what to know about this project 👇
👉 It is meant to be a 264-bed specialised hospital for cancer, heart and organ transplants, so we stop flying abroad for treatment.
👉 Started 2019, was to finish June 2021. The deadline has since moved to 2022, 2024, 2025, June 2026, and now December 2026.
Some reports even say December 2027.
👉 Opposition says about UgShs1.5 trillion has gone in. Parliament was told the total cost could reach about Shs1.3 trillion.
Much of it is paid through promissory notes. That means government signs a paper saying "we owe you this money" and pays later. The risk lands on taxpayers, and it is harder to track.
👉 On 16 Sept, opposition MPs were locked out of the site, even with the Health Minister's clearance. The minister said the contract has strict site-access rules.
👉 The project was last audited in 2022.
On 30 Sept, Parliament ordered the Auditor General to audit it again.
👉 Government says it's about 70% done and will open soon.
Is it a scam? That is not yet proven. But when MPs are blocked from a site taxpayers are paying for, we must ask questions.
The big question: where did the money go, and when will a Ugandan get treated there?
Do you think the audit will tell us the truth?

The corruption in Uganda is extreme, someone gets money for 5 roads and builds nothing, please atleast build 3 and steal 2.

Yes. This is true.
That World Bank loan and the charcoal issue are only part of the bigger picture. The bigger picture is to make sure that Africa/Uganda never industrialize.
This is why western donors are funding renewable energy and agriculture. Them funding this doesn’t

There is no financial hack that can permanently compensate for a dysfunctional economy. At some point, the problem is no longer your spending habits. The environment itself is working against you.

We shouldn’t even blame MPs on this, URA kisusse.
🚨🚨DEAN OF THIEVES 🚨🚨
We the traders, boda riders, youth and ordinary Ugandans have suffered enough. We are not refusing to pay tax. We are refusing to be over taxed and scammed by a system designed to make us poor.
This is how URA over taxes us;
1. Six Taxes on One Item. This is a Scam.
You import one phone or one bale of clothes. URA charges you;
- Import Duty 25%
- Excise Duty
- VAT 18%
- Withholding Tax 6%
- Infrastructure Levy 1.5%
- Environmental Levy 30%
One item, six taxes stacked on top of each other. By the time you reach Kikuubo, the price has tripled. Who can afford that? This is not taxation, this is extortion.
2. PAYE 40% - Highest in East Africa.
In Rwanda PAYE is 30%, Tanzania 30%, Kenya 30%. In Uganda it's 40%. A worker who earns 1M takes home only 600k. Government takes 400k before you even buy food which also has 18% VAT. Where is our take home? 🏠
3. Fuel Excise Raised Every Year.
Fuel excise from 1,350/= to 1,550/= to now 1,750/=per litre. Every time fuel goes up, everything goes up taxi fare, food, cement, soap. Yet URA says they are widening tax base.
4. Double Taxation on Small Businesses.
A small shop owner in Kampala pays: Trading license to KCCA, Income tax to URA, VAT 18% plus daily EFRIS fines of 2M, 6M for small mistakes. Many shops closed in 2024-2025 because of EFRIS enforcement without education.
5. EFRIS and Instant Fines are Digital Scam.
URA introduced EFRIS but did not train traders. Now a mistake of not issuing a receipt is 2M fine, then 6M. How can a woman selling tomatoes afford 6M? This is not tax collection rather this is punishment of the poor.
6. 11% Tax to GDP yet Harassing the Same 1 Million People.
URA collects only 11% of GDP, the lowest in EAC because they fear to tax the rich and the corrupt who steal billions. So they squeeze the same 1 million compliant Ugandans, boda riders, market women and small shops over and over.
What we ask not request because we are tax payers;
1. Reduce PAYE from 40% to 30% like our neighbors.
2. Reduce VAT from 18% to 10% like Kenya.
3. Stop stacking 6 taxes on one imported item and harmonize to one single tax.
4. Stop EFRIS fines until every trader is trained free of charge.
5. Publish online how every shilling is used.
URA @URAuganda , you are not collecting tax. You are killing businesses. You are making Uganda the most expensive country to live in East Africa.
If you tax us to death, who will pay tax tomorrow?
We Pay Tax, We Deserve Respect, Not Scam.
