Outcome Communications

I am grateful to President Ruto for the invitation to discuss important issues affecting our two nations and East Africa. The agreements we signed during my visit carry the weight of historical context, aligning with our long-awaited missions. Over 60 years ago, Africa gained independence, yet the true depth of our historical mission remained unexplored (Uhuru na Umoja).

The commissioning of these buildings confirms the NRM message that there's nothing that we cannot do if we plan and prioritise. If we take that line, we shall manage and we are managing. The government still maintains its target of increasing the court system budget to Shs800 billion. Our people must get justice. We shall work with His Lordship the Chief Justice to prioritize this.

Maama Janet and I launched the National Patriotism Environmental Protection campaign at Kitebi Secondary School in Rubaga Division, Kampala. I congratulate Miss Hellen Seku and her group for successfully rallying the youth to promote patriotism and actively participate in environmental conservation efforts.

I have had a fruitful business breakfast with investors, fund managers, processors of food and large commodity buyers at Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London this morning.

I expressed to them that Uganda’s position remains hellbent on African Unity, Africa’s strategic survival economically and politically, and this will be on my mind during deliberations at the Summit.

Later, I addressed the Foreign Press Association reporters for all global news channels based in the UK. With the journalists, we had a candid debate on Uganda’s economic, political, and global direction. They were also keen on my views about the US-Africa Leader’s Summit.
