Really proud of the scale &ambition of @KiiraMotors manufacturing plant in Jinja! And also absolutely impressed by the great engineering work of @NECUPDF to build a state of the art facility. Thanks @PCF_Uganda for organizing CEOs to visit these @UGgov led projects. @PcfChairman

Therefore, we cannot separate the low tax-to-GDP ratio conversation from the social contract, which is central to the question of trust. When Ugandans pay their taxes, they want to trust that it is for the common good, and the expectation is that @GovUganda will apply the

I was happy to attend the Uganda Independence Day reception in London! The evening brought together leaders from other friendly countries, global investors looking at the vast potential of Uganda, and fellow Ugandans in the UK and Europe. Ugandans are more switched on than ever

The Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control (DCIC) has revised its guidelines on replacing passports for Ugandans living in the diaspora. Under the new guidelines, whoever loses his or her passport must return to Uganda to have it processed and replaced.
