Job 12:12 — “Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.” To dismiss those who walked the road before you is to reject the very counsel that shortens your stumbles. Listen, and you inherit what years cannot buy.

Your Excellency, I am profoundly humbled by your gracious presence at my thanksgiving in Bugongi and your kind tribute to the people of Sheema and greater Ankole. A friendship since 1959 at Mbarara High School and Ntare is a debt of a lifetime. Thank you for honouring us.
Today, I thanked the people of Sheema and greater Ankole for supporting the NRM in the recent elections. I also thanked Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu for organising the thanksgiving ceremony.

Your attendance was not merely a gesture, but a testament to comradeship and respect. My family and the people of Sheema South are deeply grateful for your solidarity. Thank you for making our day memorable.
I joined Hon. Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu and his family, colleagues, and the people of Sheema South for his thanksgiving ceremony at Bugongi Town Council Playground, where H.E. @KagutaMuseveni was the Chief Guest. President Museveni and Prof. Kamuntu have known each other since 1959, when they were students at Mbarara High School and later at Ntare School. The President was one class ahead of Prof. Kamuntu. They both recounted their long-standing friendship. Prof. Kamuntu served as the President's campaign manager when he contested for the position of President of the Debating Union, which he won. They were also members of the Scripture Union and played football together at Ntare School. The President used his speech to explain how a visit to a stock farm while he was still a student at Ntare School, where he observed better farming methods, inspired him to begin promoting transformed agriculture. This involved moving from growing food for the household to producing for income and saving for the family, first in Nyabushozi and later across the country, from 1995 to date. He explained, using examples, how families that start small can multiply their goats, cows, and piggery projects, among others, by sustaining their efforts. This is how they can increase their household incomes. Furthermore, he advised families to focus on irrigation, practise zero grazing for cattle and goats, and take full advantage of government programmes such as the Parish Development Model (PDM), which is already helping people get out of poverty. He challenged us, as leaders, to be at the forefront of sensitising people in the fight against poverty. For me, I celebrate Prof. Kamuntu for many reasons. One of them is that in 1986 he donated iron sheets to some of the schools I attended in my constituency.

🇺🇬 Happening now in Sheema! Prof. Ephraim Kamuntu, Minister of Internal Affairs, at his Thanksgiving ceremony attended by H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and other guests, has just shared a powerful scripture: 📖 “Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.” — Job 12:12 (CSB) To those who keep saying “Abakadde bagende” (let the old people go), it seems tebayina jebalaga 🫣😂 But the big question is: Will the wisdom of our elders be enough to help Uganda run after the corrupt, hold them accountable and recover what belongs to the people? 🇺🇬

That’s true @HonAnkunda Where my President abideth, there I also abideth. So long as His Excellency @KagutaMuseveni is still here, I am also still here. And when he shall depart, I shall depart with him. Loyalty, in its purest form, knows no retirement.
Minister KAMUNTU MAKES HIS POSITION CLEAR Speaking to President Museveni Today: “I don’t want people to second-guess me. I’ll work with you, and when you leave, I’ll leave with you.” Hon. Ephraim Kamuntu Minister of Internal Affairs
