My sincere condolences 💐
With a heart weighed down by grief, I announce the passing of my dear mother, Rose Nantongo Kirabo.
There are losses for which language offers no refuge. Today, I have lost the woman whose love gave me my first understanding of life.
My deepest gratitude goes to the dedicated doctors and medical team at the Uganda Cancer Institute for the compassion, dignity and care extended to Mama in her final days.
Funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.
Wwumula Mama. Wwumula mukwano gwange. 🕊️❤️
Thank you 🙏🏾
Here is a tribute to the great Late Legend Moses Matovu! ❤️
Rest In Peace Moses Matovu 🕊️

Three days before Moses Matovu died, I hoped to speak with him once more about Afrigo Band, its songs and the people who shaped its journey. We ran out of time.
In @DailyMonitor , I reflect on the stories he shared with me, and those we never got to hear.
Moses Matovu: Stories we ran out of time for.

During World Tourism Day in Mbale, President Yoweri Museveni visited UWEC Mbale. @UWEC_EntebbeZoo ‘s work includes wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and conservation education- connecting people with Uganda’s wildlife and the need to protect it.

President Yoweri Museveni officially opened the refurbished Mount Elgon Hotel & Spa during World Tourism Day celebrations in Mbale. Built in the early 1950s, the landmark begins a new chapter while retaining elements of its heritage.

After the fire at Brovad Sands in Kalangala, Rashid Kiyimba says some guests kept their bookings. He shares what happened next.
Thank you for the work ☕️🫖
Thank you veteran for amplifying hidden #tourism treasures of the Mt elgon Ecosystems, hope to share a cup of arabica coffee honey with you
A broken leg forced artist @RojazVizualz (Rogers Ssebakkijje) to slow down. His reflections on solitude, rest and the pressure to stay productive became Questions of Solitude: Man and Rest, his solo exhibition.
World Tourism Day puts Mbale’s visitor economy in the spotlight. The Weekend @DailyMonitor feature story looks at how visitor interest could benefit local businesses, from coffee growers and guides to hotels.
Thanks bruv 👊🏽
