Today, I joined Hon. @jkmuhwezi, his family, colleagues from government, and @PLUsecretariat for his thanksgiving ceremony at Kasoroza Playgrounds in Rujumbura, Rukungiri.
The event also served as a fundraiser for the construction of St. John's Kasoroza Church of Uganda. I represented H.E. @KagutaMuseveni and delivered his message to the people of Rukungiri District.
The President thanked the people of Rukungiri for voting for Hon. Jim Muhwezi and @NRMOnline in the general elections. He also thanked them for renewing their trust in Gen. Jim, who has served Uganda from the bush war up to today.
The President said people like Gen. Jim exemplify the sacrifice made by many Ugandans during the bush war, when they went to fight without knowing whether they would emerge victorious and return to live in a peaceful country.
While the bush war is a story of the past, the President challenged us as leaders to be at the forefront of fighting the current war against poverty. Poverty is a household battle, but when households in a community work together, supported by good leadership, it can be defeated.
As a neighbour to Rukungiri District, I pledged to work with Hon. Jim and other leaders in the district to do whatever we can to fight poverty and extend services to the people.
I thank Hon. Jim for his distinguished service to this country over the past five decades. He is still with us, acting as a bridge between the past, present and the future. We thank him for embracing @PLUsecretariat , which represents the future. At today’s event, the PLU team by our National Vice Chairperson @chairtoyota, GS @HonTwallafadil, CEC members and other great patriots also launched the collection of signatures for the endorsement of @mkainerugaba’s 2031 presidential candidature in the Kigezi sub-region. We are glad that we have a leader who is ready to take on the mantle and build on the strong foundation laid by the NRM. The very warm reception and endorsement from the people of Rukungiri is a clear indication that come 2031, @mkainerugaba will win with a landslide once he is on the ballot paper.

“Let us ensure that government officials have the right specifications, they source for the right contractor or supplier, you give the right price, deliver the right products as per specifications. The best value is not the lowest price.” - ED @PPDAUganda

PPDA MOVES TO REFORM PUBLIC PROCUREMENT TO BOOST VALUE FOR MONEY AND SERVICE DELIVERY
The Minster of State for General Duties @HonCissyMulondo has today met the Board and Management of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) which is under her supervision.
The PPDA team was led by the Chairperson of the Board, Julius Ishungisa and the Executive Director Can.Benson Turamye.
The Minister assured the PPDA team that her supervision will respect the independence of @PPDAUganda as a regulator, adding that @PPDAUganda must be able to regulate set standards,audit procurement activities and take decisive action against non-compliant entities.
“PPDA must remain accountable for results, fairness and integrity within its own operations,” said the Minister, adding that PPDA has an important responsibility to ensure that the allocated funds procure the right quality & quantity at the right price and at the right time.
Mulondo linked the responsibility of PPDA to the Charter for Fiscal Responsibility, which requires government to manage public resources sustainably, transparently and with a focus on long-term value.
She also pledged to support the Authority’s reforms and digitalization agenda before Cabinet and Parliament.
The PPDA Board Chairman said PPDA is undertaking a series of reforms aimed at making Uganda’s public procurement system faster, more transparent, accountable and responsive to the country’s development needs.
The reforms include reviewing the procurement law, expanding the Electronic Government Procurement System (eGP), strengthening contract management, improving oversight and capacity building, promoting local industries and ensuring that public institutions obtain value for money.
The eGP system is intended to move public procurement away from slow, paper-based processes, towards a more transparent digital system. The upgraded system will soon be rolled out in 100 government entities.
According to PPDA, more than 60% of the government budget is spent through procurement of works, goods and services including construction of roads, bridges, electricity projects, dams, irrigation schemes, schools, hospitals and other public investments.

Today afternoon I received a briefing from the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) Board Chairperson, Julius Ishungisa who was accompanied by the PPDA Executive Director Can. Benson Turamye and other officials.
I stated that the transition to the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) must be embraced by all Government entities, adding that public procurement must be
aligned to the tenfold growth strategy to transform Uganda into a $500 billion economy by 2040.
I called for finalisation of procurement reforms to streamline procurement and eliminate corruption and related leakages.
They also briefed about the mandate and contribution of public procurement to Uganda’s Economic Growth.
