REMOVAL OF ILLEGAL ENCROACHMENT ON URC LAND.
Greetings, Uganda.
We have all seen a locomotive slowing down for cows to move. We have all see the massive encroachment along all corridors of the URC reserve land, and so much more.
On 12 October 2026, we are commencing a nationwide removal of all illegal encroachment on URC land.
1. Kampala-Ndeeba-Natete-Kyengera-Bujuuko up to Kasese
2. Kampala-Kireka-Namboole-Namanve-Mukono-Jinja-Malaba
3. Tororo-Gulu-Pakwach
5. Masindi
6. Arua
7. Busoga line
Every illegal structure in URC land is slated for demolition.
Owners of titles on URC land will be removed as well, structures demolished and titles cancelled (working with Ministry of Lands).
The operations are aimed at providing space for planned works, create space for expansion, create space for greening of the reserve for improved image of the corridor, etc.
Please note;
1. URC land along the line is 100ft on either side.
2. At level crossings, it is 70 metres.
3. Reserve land at stations is bigger.
All residents along these sections should vacate.
Anyone who resists, we have been guided to arrest and prosecute them.
Those who have structures that are partly in URC land, we shall demolish those sections too.
To all walkers using the railway corridor, we shall also commence arrests. The practice should stop because it puts the walker in danger, displaces the ballast which in turn weakens the lines.

BUGWERI HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICER CONVICTED, TO REFUND UGX 125 MILLION
The Anti-Corruption Court has convicted, the Human Resource Officer of Bugweri District Local Government, Mr. Wilson Byekwaso for causing a financial loss of UGX 125,376,925 to the Government of Uganda.
He was convicted on by His Worship Paul Mujuni of the Anti-Corruption Court.
The Court sentenced him to:
i)A fine of UGX 3,260,000, or seven years’ imprisonment in default;
ii)Refund of UGX 125,376,925 to the Government; and
iii)He was further barred from holding public office for 10 years from the date of conviction.
Mr. Byekwaso was convicted for using his access rights as a Human Resource Officer to enter the names of three individuals, Kadijja Namusubo, Policap Mukisa and Robert Muziraki onto the Integrated Personnel and Payroll System (IPPS) on 19 September 2022, indicating that they were newly recruited employees of Bugweri District Local Government posted to Busembatia Secondary School and yet they were not. In addition, the entries were made without following the required procedures for adding staff to the IPPS.
As a result, the three individuals received salaries from Government totaling UGX 125,376,925 between November 2022 and February 2024, paid through their accounts at DFCU Bank.
Investigations by @IGGUganda established that the three individuals were not employees of the Government of Uganda, and that their records were not available at Bugweri District Local Government.
Investigations further established that they had never served as teachers at Busembatia Secondary School.
During the hearing, following the presentation of incriminating evidence, Byekwaso changed his plea to guilty, leading to his conviction and sentencing.

Passenger Train to cross the Nile again
Greetings good people.
We have been cooking on all fronts to extend our services wide and far.
Preparations for the train to Jinja are in the final phase. We have heard the calls, and as listening sector players, it is incumbent upon us to respond to the calls.
This trip will start as a weekend service. We shall depart Kampala on Fridays and return on Sundays. We are not talking years to come. This is happening this year 2026.
After the acquisition of more rolling stock (a process that is ongoing), the trips to and from Jinja will increase. The target is to have a daily scheduled train crossing the Nile.
Next up,
1. Preperations for AfCON
2. Clearance of ALL ENCROACHMENT on URC land. We heard the calls, it is time to clear the reserve completly.

FREE EDUCATION MUST NOT BE POOR-QUALITY EDUCATION FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE POOR:- KAGUNGA SEED SCHOOL RANKED LAST IN RUKUNGIRI DISTRICT UCE MOCK EXAMINATIONS [FOR HON. MINISTER @BalaamBarugahar
The recently released 2026 UCE Mock results in Rukungiri District show Kagunga Seed School a government school as the last and this should force us to ask an uncomfortable question: Who is really paying the price when government schools fail academically?
If Kagunga Seed School can come last in the district's UCE Mock results, we should not simply celebrate that children are accessing “free” education. We must ask whether they are receiving quality education capable of securing them a decent future. If Education is still the Key to success.
Minister @BalaamBarugahar may be right to insist that schools should not burden poor parents with unlawful or excessive charges BUT the answer cannot be to remove every avenue through which schools raise resources while leaving schools struggling with inadequate facilities, staffing and academic support.
In the past, a child from a poor family could attend a government-aided school, receive a decent education and reasonably hope to compete with children from wealthier families when chasing opportunities HOWEVER today the children of the poor receive an education that leaves them academically disadvantaged, aren't we quietly reproducing the very inequality that education is supposed to address?
Every child—whether born to a millionaire, a peasant farmer, a boda rider or a market vendor—deserves an education that gives them a genuine chance at a decent future BUT this isn't what USE and UPE are doing!.
Who is speaking for the children of the poor parents? Who is defending their right not merely to attend school BUT to receive an education that can change their lives?
To me this is the question Minister @BalaamBarugahar and the Ministry of Education and Sports must answer.

Watoto Church Ministries has won a High Court battle against government over the heritage listing of its Kampala Road and Buganda Road property. Court quashed the designation after finding illegality, irrationality, and procedural impropriety, potentially clearing a key legal hurdle to Watoto’s redevelopment plans while allowing future lawful heritage protection.

Dear @BalaamBarugahar & @JustineNameere
As you clean up local government, kindly take keen interest in District Service Commissions. In many districts, they have become crime scenes disguised as recruitment offices.
A qualified doctor may be asked for “fuel” of only 2 to 5 millions, just to make the shortlist, then told to raise as much as 40 millions "to properly secure the job".
If applicants are broke and the "revenue" collected is not enough, the vacancy is simply re-advertised the next year and another group of desperate applicants is invited.
There are posts that remain vacant for years, not because there are no qualified personnel but because they are being kept for someone’s relative who has just joined university.
Public jobs are being auctioned, while qualified Ugandans remain unemployed.
This rot deserves a serious investigation. And, desicive treatment.

Uganda 🇺🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪 will begin construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) link on March 20, 2026.
The project is expected to be completed by 2028. Once finished, the modern rail line will cut travel time between Nairobi and Kampala from about 14 hours to just 4 hours, boosting trade and making travel easier across East Africa.
