𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐂 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐔𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 The Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC), the official Government Printer, has made the E-Gazette freely accessible online, removing cost barriers and making official government publications easier to access. The Uganda Gazette contains statutory instruments, legal notices, government appointments, registrations and other official communications relied upon by citizens, businesses, legal practitioners, researchers and public institutions. UPPC Managing Director, Prof. Sudi Nangoli, said the initiative strengthens transparency, accountability and public access to official government information. The move forms part of UPPC’s 2023–2028 Strategic Plan, which targets digitisation of 80% of the Corporation’s products and systems by 2028. The Corporation has also been digitising historical editions of the Uganda Gazette dating back to 1902. Members of the public can access the free E-Gazette through the Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation’s official website by navigating to the Uganda Gazette/E-Gazette section and selecting their preferred edition. The initiative marks another step in Government’s efforts to expand digital access to public information and improve service delivery. @uppc_uganda

"Technological developments have expanded the opportunities available to creators, but they have also introduced new questions concerning ownership, authorisation and remuneration. These challenges require practical, coordinated and forward-looking responses.

My uninvited ex showed up at my wedding to congratulate me, I laughed right in his face when he walked into our reception. I wanted everyone to hear me mock him for having nothing. so I humiliated him infront of everyone. Seconds later, my husband introduces him as his new boss

For 64 years, Uganda has written its own story, built on a simple yet profound idea: every person should have the power to determine their own destiny. Happy Independence Day, Uganda | #UGat64
