With only 232 days to go until the historic AFCON kicks off in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, I was pleased to witness the signing of an official sponsorship agreement between @CAF_Online and @TourismBoardUg at the Marriott Hotel in Kampala, making the Uganda Tourism Board an official sponsor of the tournament. This is a significant moment for Uganda’s tourism sector. AFCON offers us a valuable opportunity to showcase our tourism potential to millions of football fans and attract high-value tourists. CAF Secretary General Samson Adamu informed us that the previous AFCON recorded a cumulative viewership of 3.2 billion. This partnership presents an enormous opportunity to market Uganda to a global audience and translate that visibility into increased tourist arrivals. This is exactly the kind of global marketing our tourism sector needs. Sports and tourism are natural partners. Football fans can become tourists during and after the games. With more partnerships of this kind, we can be confident of moving closer to our target of attracting five million tourists by 2030 and contributing to Uganda’s 10-fold growth strategy. Many thanks to @JulzKagwa, Hon. @OgwangOgwang, Hon. Susan Nsambu Nakawuki, Hon. @MosesMagogo and everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this partnership to fruition. Looking forward to more such partnerships.

This is more than deserved! @DoctorGladys has dedicated her life to the often unseen, unheard, grueling, thankless work of caring for our close relatives and conservation. I'm so proud that she gets the recognition she deserves once in a while! This is a big one! Congratulations Gladys!
I am thrilled to share that I have been selected as one of the Top 5 @CNN Heroes of 2026 out of thousands of nominations worldwide. When I became Uganda's first #wildlife veterinarian, I never imagined that caring for mountain gorillas would lead to a movement linking public health, conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Through @CTPHuganda we've seen that when communities thrive, gorillas thrive. Our work with over 10,000 households has helped the Bwindi gorilla population grow by over 50%. This recognition shines a light on Uganda and on the One Health approach for the whole world. The final winner is decided by your vote. I humbly ask for your support: Vote here: edition.cnn.com/world/heroes… Voting is open now until November 29, 2026. 10 votes per day. Together, we can show that the world cares about gorillas and people co-existing. #CNNHeroes2026 #CNN #walkingWithGorillas #OneHealth @LillyAjarova

Delighted to attend the Ghana–Uganda Trade and Business Forum in Accra, Ghana following the successful launch of @UG_Airlines direct Entebbe–Accra route. With Uganda and Ghana now better connected, we have an opportunity to unlock tourism potential, strengthen business linkages, expand trade and encourage greater travel between East and West Africa. Among the key opportunities discussed were the upcoming AFCON 2027, co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania; the Uganda Martyrs Trail, trips for Ghanaian tour operators, the forthcoming Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (POATE) and the East African Community Expo @TourismBoardUg On behalf of Parliament @Parliament_Ug , particularly the Budget Committee, I appreciate this important step towards strengthening connectivity between our two countries. As we look ahead to AFCON 2027 and other regional opportunities, let us turn this improved connectivity into tangible economic benefits for all our citizens.

When Queen Mother Best Olimi Kemigisa Akiiki recognized the greed and malice of those Babiito men, you turned the Batooro against her and spent thirty-one years showering her with insults and abuse. ​You could not even show basic humanity or grant her the space as a mother to grieve her deceased son in peace. Instead, you weaponized that solemn time of loss to heap the last of your malicious attacks upon her to demean her character. ​Now, less than ninety days into the reign of Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I, you are finally being forced to recognize where the true corruption in your kingdom lies: with those very Babiito elders. ​You showered praise on the Musuuga for protecting the kingdom during the transition, even going so far as to buy him a vehicle to reward his supposed heroism, only to enable dark influences to corrupt his mind and reactivate his worst instincts. ​Just as you admitted in your own post, Andrew Irumba Live, you and many of the self-serving men of this kingdom need to humble yourselves, get down on your knees, and offer a sincere apology to Queen Best Kemigisa.
