I thank EY Uganda for organising and inviting all key stakeholders for their Inaugural Tax Retreat 2026. At the retreat, I reiterated our ambition to grow Uganda’s tax-to-GDP ratio to at least 20% by the year 2030.
Achieving this goal will require collective action, stronger partnerships and a shared commitment from all stakeholders to build a sustainable and resilient revenue base that supports Uganda’s development.
I wish all the participants an open and fruitful dialogue over the next 3 days of the retreat.
Taxation is about more than collecting revenue. It should also help Ugandan businesses grow and remain sustainable.
@URAuganda's @URA_CG highlighted the role of the tax system in supporting business growth and national development.

Today, we marked an important milestone in Uganda’s digital transformation with the launch of the National Data Strategy.
Data plays an important role in how we plan, make decisions and deliver services to our people.

Today with my Friend @RonaldLamola the South Minister for International Relations and cooperation co-chaired a third session of the South Africa- Uganda joint commission of cooperation. We emphasized the need to deepen our cooperation through trade, mining, ICT and tourism, and orderly migration. I welcomed the introduction of the extended travel authorization (ETA) which in a short time has enabled travelers to get travel clearance in a short time, as we conclude the processes leading to the signing of an agreement on visa waivers for holders of ordinary passports.

Formalising artisanal and small-scale mining is not something any one stakeholder can achieve alone. It requires regulators, buyers, certification bodies, cooperatives, and government to work together to create a transparent, responsible, and inclusive mining sector.
At #AfricanMiningWeek, I shared insights on the scale of cross-border trade in artisanal minerals and how Uganda’s estimated 400,000–600,000 artisanal miners can transition into the formal economy.
The goal is to ensure that miners are recognised, their livelihoods are improved, and the value of their work contributes meaningfully to national development.
Formalisation must be a collective effort, backed by practical solutions, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to responsible mining.

During #AfricanMiningWeek, I had the opportunity to engage with the Angolan team and learn from Angola’s experience as an oil producer, refiner, and a country that has successfully conducted licensing rounds.
As Uganda advances its oil and gas journey, there is much to learn from countries with established experience in the sector. I was encouraged by the Angolan team’s willingness to support Uganda and explore opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and shared expertise.
Strengthening partnerships across Africa is key to building capacity, unlocking the value of our natural resources, and ensuring that the continent’s extractive industries deliver lasting benefits for our people.

🤝Strengthening Dialogue Between the Regulator and the Private Sector
This afternoon, the Petroleum Authority of Uganda @PAU_Uganda and the Uganda Chamber of Energy and Minerals #UCEM held their quarterly engagement, providing a vital platform for private sector players to table their concerns, share recommendations and engage directly with the oil and gas regulator.
These engagements foster constructive dialogue, strengthen collaboration and help address industry challenges while supporting the growth and sustainability of Uganda’s oil and gas sector.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all private sector stakeholders who actively participated and to PAU for providing this platform for open dialogue and continued collaboration.

3 years without my dad. Most days it feels like yesterday.
This summer, I turned my grief and love into words: In My Father's Eyes, a daughter's memoir of independence, legacy, and the search for enough.

🩸 150,000 UNITS. THAT’S THE GAP BETWEEN NEED AND SUPPLY.
Uganda 🇺🇬 is projected to need 450,000 units of blood annually but collects only about 300,000. That’s a shortfall of 150,000 units, with approximately 1,000 units needed every day.

My heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us at Kampala Serena Hotel for the launch of 'Entrusted.'
Last night was not just about a book. It was a moment to reflect on a simple truth that has guided my journey - Leadership is not owned, it is entrusted!
From a humble beginning as a son of a mechanic, to the privilege of leading @CentenaryBank from 9th to 2nd position over 16 years, I have learned that titles fade, but stewardship remains.
In ‘Entrusted,’ I share the values that carried me; preparation, discipline, humility, resilience and service beyond self. My hope is that it will speak to the next generation of leaders who understand that true impact is not measured by what we achieve for ourselves, but by what we build for others.
Thank you for entrusting me with your time, your presence, and your belief in this story.

When you donate blood, your body naturally replenishes it by producing fresh blood cells. You’re also giving someone else a chance at life.
One donation, two beautiful impacts! ❤️🩸
