Only 40.3% Live Within 5 Kilometres of a Health Facility 40.3% DISTANCE REMAINS A BARRIER TO HEALTHCARE. The report found that 40.3% of surveyed respondents lived within five kilometres of a health facility, while 59.7% lived farther away. Longer journeys can make routine visits, follow-up care, and emergency treatment harder to access. Bringing healthcare closer can make a difference. #EqualOpportunities #AccessToHealthcare #IslandCommunities #HealthForAll

Dear @MinofHealthUG and @UCC_Official , This is an urgent appeal to the relevant authorities. The rapid rise of self-proclaimed "TikTok doctors" and online health influencers selling unverified products has become a serious public health concern. Every day, social media is flooded with individuals marketing skin-bleaching chemicals, creams, soaps, and gels without any known approval or professional oversight. Others are selling products that claim to darken gums, increase body weight, reduce body size, enlarge intimate body parts, or improve sexual performance, all with little or no evidence of safety or effectiveness. These products are being promoted to thousands of unsuspecting people, especially the youth, through misleading advertisements and false medical claims. If this trend continues unchecked, we risk exposing an entire generation to serious health complications, including long-term illnesses such as cancer and other life-threatening conditions. The silence of the responsible authorities is being interpreted as permission for these illegal and unethical practices to continue. I respectfully call upon the Ministry of Health, UCC, the National Drug Authority, and all other relevant agencies to urgently investigate, regulate, and take firm action against individuals using digital platforms to sell unlicensed medical and cosmetic products. Public health must always come before online profits. The time to act is now. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 @Parliament_Ug @theklagazette @ChimpReports

You may find that #Obed did not even know the woman who shouted, "My bag has been stolen." You may also find that he does not even live in the area where the mob justice incident occurred. Yet, in a moment of chaos, he allowed himself to be swept up by the crowd. That is the danger of mob justice. Like a raging fire, it consumes reason, judgment, and humanity. It turns ordinary people into participants in acts they later spend the rest of their lives regretting. Today, #Obed sits in custody. His children will suffer. His family will suffer. Those who depended on him will bear the consequences for years to come. A single reckless decision has changed many lives forever. Let this serve as a lesson to everyone: no accusation, rumor, or suspicion gives anyone the right to take the law into their own hands. If you suspect someone of committing a crime, report them to the authorities and allow the law to take its course. Say NO to mob justice. One moment of anger can destroy a lifetime.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Borrowing from @LetshegoUganda A friend of mine obtained a loan of UGX 2,000,000 from @LetshegoUganda in 2019. In 2021, he received a top-up loan of UGX 550,000. According to the loan agreement, all salary deductions were supposed to end in April 2022. Shockingly, deductions continued long after the loan repayment period had expired. The deductions persisted until April 2025, when he personally visited the company's headquarters and lodged a complaint. Following his intervention, the deductions were halted. However, to his surprise, the deductions later resumed despite the loan having been fully paid and the matter having already been addressed. This raises serious concerns about accountability, transparency, and the protection of borrowers from unauthorized deductions. No borrower should have to spend years fighting to stop deductions on a loan that has already been cleared. We call upon the Bank of Uganda and other relevant regulatory authorities to investigate these complaints and ensure that affected borrowers are protected from unlawful or erroneous salary deductions. Many civil servants and other employees rely on their monthly salaries to support their families. Continued deductions beyond agreed repayment periods can cause severe financial hardship, stress, anxiety, and reduced work morale. Financial institutions must uphold the highest standards of professionalism, fairness, and respect for their clients' rights. Borrowers deserve transparency, accountability, and timely resolution of complaints, not years of uncertainty over money deducted from their hard-earned salaries. Before taking any loan, carefully review the terms, keep all repayment records, and regularly monitor your payslips to ensure deductions stop when the loan is fully repaid. @BOU_Official @mtic_uganda @PoliceUg @CID1_UG

I have never personally had the opportunity to meet Afande @Tom_Magambo, but the many testimonies from those who know him speak of a remarkable man kind-hearted, welcoming, generous, and always willing to lend a helping hand. By all accounts, he is a truly good man. Indeed, Afande Tom, your character and kindness have touched many lives. During this profoundly difficult time, as you and your family mourn the loss of your beloved son, I pray that Almighty God grants you strength, comfort, and peace. May He surround you with His love and carry you through the pain of this great loss. There are moments in life that leave us searching for answers, and the passing of such a young and promising soul is one of them. We may never fully understand why God calls some of His children home so early, especially when they have so much life ahead of them. Yet we trust that His wisdom surpasses our understanding. May the memories of your son be a source of comfort, and may his soul rest in eternal peace. #TimothyMuganziMagambo 🙏
