Fledgling 'Cities': Lira City's total Rd network is 428km. Earth roads are 270km[63%],60km gravelled roads& 24km paved bituminous standard roads. Subsistence agriculture-dependent communities are larger than the urbanized area. With its 246,000 population,poverty isn't abstract.

I’ve noticed some people seem to get offended whenever I post my farm progress.😂 Let me clarify:My posts are for landowners who have been procrastinating,waiting for the perfect time to start.! I’m not saying everyone must leave town and come to the village. I’m saying if farming is something you’ve always wanted to do, stop waiting for perfect conditions. If you don’t own land yet,kindly scroll in peace. Don’t give yourself headaches over someone else’s progress🌝

Your Excellency @KagutaMuseveni Mheshimiwa Rais @KagutaMuseveni, I'm happy to inform you that, yesterday 26th October 2026, we successfully concluded the 3rd Edition of Twende Zetu Butiama Pilgrimage Safari itinerary by paying tribute and honouring Mzee Dr. Kenneth Kaunda at Embassy Square in Lusaka, Zambia. It's been such an enriching pilgrimage expedition that started on 1st October at the University of Dar es Salaam, Nkrumah Hall @UdsmOfficial where pilgrims were flagged off by the University Vice Chancellor Prof. William Anangisye. We were further flagged off at Makerere University @Makerere Freedom Square by H.E Mheshimiwa Balozi @AbabuNamwamba flanked by State House Anti Corruption Unit @AntiGraft_SH Head Brig. Gen. Henry Isoke @h_isoke. Challenges faced not withstanding, I'm happy to report that by the Grace of God, we've managed to achieve our set out objectives under the Theme: Espousing the Enduring Legacy and Values of our @Jumuiya Founding Fathers: a Call for Enhanced Efforts Towards a Politically Federated EAC📌 We've visited: 1. Akokoro City in Apac District in Northern Uganda at Dr. Apolo Milton Obote's, 2. Mwitongo in Butiama District Mara Region Tanzania at Mwalimu Julius Nyerere's, 3. Kang'o ka Jaramogi in Bondo Siaya County Kenya at Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's and Baba Raila Amollo Odinga, 4. National Assembly of Kenya @KENYAPARLIAMENT where we paid tribute to Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in Nairobi, Kenya. 5. EAC Secretariat in Arusha, Tanzania where the Clerk of @EA_Bunge received us and further flagged us off to Lusaka Zambia. 6. The Historical Mulungushi Rock of Authority located between Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi District. 7. Mzee Dr. Kenneth Kaunda's Pre-Liberation #ChilenjeHouse394 on Zambia's independence Day 24th October 2026. 8. Climaxed at Embassy Square at the Presidential Burial Grounds where we paid respect to Dr. Kenneth Kaunda as one of the towering Pan African Liberation Struggles Hero. I was in company of Comrade Tilyenji Kaunda - President Emeritus of the United National Independence Party (UNIP) and the son of its founder and the first President of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, the Hon. @AkenaJimmyMP President of Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) @UPCSecretariat and son to Dr. Apolo Milton Obote, the Executive Director of Zambia National Heritage Conservation Commission, Fellow Bikers from Uganda, UNIP Party current president, SG, Treasurer..........Members of the 4th Estate and the general public. One Uganda - One Nation One Zambia - One Nation One Africa - One United Continent My brief remarks at Mzee Kaunda's Grave, "Tubidhaishe Kiswahili - Tukieneze Kiswahili - Tukienzi Kiswahili. Beyond a medium of linguistic expression, Kiswahili is a symbol of unity, progress, and Pan-Africanism. Kiswahili, in its neutrality, offers Africa a means of rejecting colonial legacies that have bound the continent to foreign tongues. It is inclusive, bridging ethnic divides and offering a common ground for all Africans, regardless of their native languages. Welcome to Uganda - The Pearl of Africa." I also reminded the gathering of your statement that, "Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere is the Greatest Black Man that has ever lived." - @KagutaMuseveni “His monumental achievements for Tanzania and the people of southern Africa, and indeed beyond, cast into insignificance whatever errors Mwalimu might have committed as a human being.”– Kenneth Kaunda. Our Forefathers - All gave some, some gave all. We may know them all, but we owe them all. Remembering them is noble📌 Honour Yesterday, Inspire Today, Build Tomorrow✍️ "Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself.” (Anzaldua 39) This quote expresses an idea that linguistic identity is a mirror to ethnic identity, and also a mirror to one person✍️ #AfrikaMasharikiKwetu #KiswahiliFahariYetu #TwenzetuButiama2026 @StateHouseUg @NRMOnline @Parliament_Ug @MODVA_UPDF @RuhakanaR @otafiire_k @Col_FMwesigye @Rotengo2 @RebeccaKadagaUG

In August, Lango farmers watched crops wilt in a heatwave and missed planting windows. Now the forecast is wet. Drought, then flood. Farms with stored seed, stock and cash reserves ride it out. Farms that sell everything raw at harvest take the full hit. #Uganda #Agribusiness – at Kampala, Uganda
