End of the road. Nsubuga Hamid, the terrorist bomber who escaped from Pader, and who had been part of the group that planned to attack mourners at the burial of the late Lt Gen Paul Lokech, was finally Put out of Action.
She gave birth yesterday and was returning home. A boda man she hired left her stranded on the road as he had to rush to beat the 2pm deadline. I found her crying and have just dropped her home.
She started well and ended well. After decades of selfless service to country and
people of Uganda, Lt Gen Proscovia Nalweyiso retired today as the highest ranking female officer ever in the history of Uganda.

CONGRATULATIONS!
I handed over the office of Director Strategic Communications today in order to prepare for National Defence College, Uganda, where I will be for the next one year. What a privilege it has been to serve under Maj Gen Birungi, the Chief of Military Intelligence.
Tanzania has removed expiry date from their national ID. Fair enough. Citizens don't expire. It's such an unnecessary inconvenience. I definitely like the idea.
I have read the most recent report by the United Nations on DRC casting doubt on UPDF's operation shujaa. Someone tell UN that they have been in DRC for twenty years with 1billion dollars a year and have nothing to show for it.
Ishaka-Kagamba road, punctuated by great scenery, has changed lives in that part of Uganda. Today, such roads are a common scene across the country. Tusiimekko!
This afternoon, the new UPDF CMI Maj Gen James Birungi has taken over the office of CMI from Maj Gen Abel Kandiho. This is a handover from a warrior to a warrior. The Struggle Continues

Show some love to Dr Lukia Nakawombe Mulumba, the first Ugandan woman ever to be promoted to the Rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Airforce.

Brig Gen Henry Isoke, the new Head of Statehouse Anti Corruption Unit is one smart brain, incorruptible and hardworking. Congratulations to you general.
My fan and supporter did this painting of me. I must admit that I like it. He dropped it at my office, while I was away and never left his Tel No. I'm looking for him to say Thank You.
People, I have read in the news that Lt Gen Andrew Gutti has succumbed to covid-19. What a lie! I'm with him right now in his office, in Jinja, at the Senior Command and Staff College.
After 4 days of fruitful deliberations we have reached good resolutions on how to work together. Once again, I thank our two great Presidents
@KagutaMuseveni
and
@PaulKagame
on revitalising our strong alliance! Viva UPDF! Viva RDF! WAY TO GO.
Today, 48 years ago, I was born. What a journey, this has been! For those who along the way, came into my life, I hope you have enjoyed the ride. May we continue to work for meaningful human security in the years to come.

@48
Talking to soldiers of 333 MTN Brigade at Kanyamwirima, this morning, I emphasized that our strength as soldiers is our discipline, respect for human rights and a strategic relationship with the people of Uganda.
These ADF fellows are really having a rough time in DRC. Yesterday, near Mapipa, they again got a beating. We told them UPDF is a wrong button. The only way out is to surrender.
#operationshujaa
Some places have names! There is this market somewhere along Mbarara Ntungamo rd. I stopped and took a shot. Next time I will stop to find the origin of the name.
#ThisCountryUganda
I touched base with my old friend Jalal today. I have known him for almost two decades. You want something unique and stylish? visit his Fashion Shop, LAVIE... @ Grand Imperial. He is reliable.
At a baraza with our soldiers in the city of Bata, Equatorial Guinea, together with Dr Opiyo Oloya, I updated our troops on the security situation in Uganda and the progress the UPDF is making in ensuring continuous improvement of soldier's welfare.
Congratulations to intake 17 of Senior Command and Staff College Kimaka. Twelve years ago I got that same feeling you're enjoying today. May you live long to serve your army, your people in
#ThisCountryUganda
I was at the send off of one of my mentors, Gen Elly Tumwine, yesterday at Rwemikoma. But I have also been following those abusing him in death for what he said in life. Who is stupid here?
Mr Howard Buffet, son of Warren Buffet met with H.E Yoweri Museveni recently at State House. It was reported that he wants to do business in Uganda. This is a vote of confidence in the GoU for creating a secure environment that continues to attract investors.
#ThisCountryUganda
A country is as good as its leaders. This is H.E The President of the Republic of Uganda H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Uganda is one of the most secure countries in Africa.
Mbarara City Northern bypass constructed to decongest the city by providing an alternative route for large cargo trucks headed to neighbouring countries.
I'm Fourty Nine years old today! One year shy, to make half a century. It's been a rollercoaster, a life full of hope and meaning. Still counting. HBD Ankunda!
Old me, had even forgotten that today was my birthday. A surprise of a cake reminded me, as I returned home from work. Thank you Lord and thanks to my family for organizing and loving me.
So this boat is coming to Uganda to create a Libya here? Why on earth should anyone wish that the destruction which happened in Libya should come to Uganda?
Gen Kayanja Muhanga is leading 'operation Shujaa' against Islamic State affliated terrorists, the ADF, in Eastern DRC. Today, together with FARDC officials, they launched the construction of security roads.
#ThisCountryUganda
Maj Gen Kayanja Muhanga, comd operation shujaa, yesterday met with Maj Gen Bombelle Comille Ehola, his DRC counter part, at Kasindi, to discuss further security measures against ADF to allow for construction of joint strategic infrastructure.
Smart in service and in retirement. UPDF generals today said goodbye to the institution they love. Their mentor and leader, Gen Yoweri Museveni was there to see them off.
#ThisCountryUganda
These ADF rebels have surrendered to UPDF and FARDC joint forces in DRC. What a wise decision!. They are now safe in our hands. Those who defect will survive. We call upon those still in the bush to report to our HQs.
At this college, we delve into national security, strategic management, policy formulation and implementation as well as research. Privileged to be part of intake two of 23/24.
#ThisCountryUganda
I spent time today to pray with the Director of Kiwamirembe Catholic Shrine, my friend Fr. Kabanda, at his office. Feeling re-energized spiritually. Thank you Fr.
Cowards killed you while on duty. Your boss, Gen Katumba Wamala is alive. You did your best to save him. Unfortunately you died in the process. May Your Soul RIP Haruna.
Remembered by Somalis for liberating their port city of Barawe, Maj Gen Dick Olum has been appointed by H.E The President as the new Mountain Division commander and Overall Commander of Operation Shujaa in DRC. Seasoned, Trained and Capable.
#operationshujaa
Twenty years ago I was part of a graduation parade like this. Today, through consistent training, many such graduations have happened in the UPDF, making our force one of the best and most disciplined south of the Sahara. Thanks to our C-in-C.
Maj Gen Kayanja Muhanga and his counterpart Maj Gen Camille Bombele of DRC, met near Semliki brigde to discuss the anti ADF operations going on in DRC
#operationshujaa
The devil really works! How does one feel after ending a life of a young lady like her? Do they go home and sleep? The day of justice is coming for you cowards. RIP Brenda.
