Thank you H.E @KagutaMuseveni for this kind gesture. Our family of late Sunlight Okiror, one of Uganda’s famous sportsmen, a soldier and a rebel, would like to meet you. Contact 0782109498 theguardian.com/global-devel… @KennethOmona @AnitahAmong @EchoduOfficial @Mukulaa @OgwangOgwang

Idi Amin challenged my father to a wrestling match – then chickened out

Uganda has never acknowledged the sporting legacy of athlete ‘Sunlight’ Okiror. Almost 30 years after his death, his son hopes this might change

So you are also a member of St. Luke's Church, Ntinda. Bravo

Today’s church service hit differently- Anglican. The finance committee openly shared YTD income vs. expenditure. True accountability & transparency in action. A good practice many of us can learn from. Do other churches account? Or it’s for "heaven is the goal? 😅

These pupils were vaccinated at Toto Ndiwulira Nursery on the same date. The stamp of Zia Angelina Health Centre, Namugongo that reportedly conducted yellow fever vaccination exercise can’t be seen and read. Wondering why the cards bear different dates - parents need explanation

How can these vaccination cards be authentic @MinofHealthUG & @WHOUganda? The stamp of the health facility that conducted the vaccination at sch can't be read & has different dates. @JaneRuth_Aceng @DianaAtwine @tegegny @henrymwebesa @ainbyoo - cc @nbstv @DailyMonitor @ntvuganda

Power is off again in Mbalwa - Namugongo. What is really happening @UmemeLtd! Another evening and night in a blackout - eeeeeeeh

Stephen @ILUNGOLEStephen I think shouting on these streets (social media) help a lot. After the tweet the team finally shows up.

So clearly, it is NOT 'load-shedding' if your neighbours are lit! It could be an isolated issue, that those affected need to raise with our teams for help. With isolated cases, it is harder for the teams to know who is affected unless the outage is reported through our platforms!

Is it loading shedding or something else @UmemeLtd - 24 hours without power in Mbalwa - Namugongo ? Interestingly, surrounding areas have electricity. @PeterKaujju @ILUNGOLEStephen
