Let's give Dr @azawedde her flowers.
Her five-year tenure as Permanent Secretary at @MoICT_Ug has been marked by significant progress in Uganda's journey towards digital transformation.
Among the milestones recorded during her leadership are over 5,000 km of National Backbone optical fibre, more than 1,500 connected government service points, 47.1 million active mobile subscriptions, 18.5 million active mobile internet subscriptions, over 150 entities involved in information exchange through UGHub, 10,594 parishes reached through PDMIS and 647 government ICT systems documented.
I have no doubt that @azawedde will continue making great strides in her new coordination role at @OPMUganda.
Thank you for your service, Dr Aminah Zawedde!

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! 5 DAYS TO GO!
A historic new chapter for IGAD is just five days away!
On 16 November 2026, the IGAD Treaty will officially enter into force, marking a defining milestone in the Organisation’s institutional journey and a significant step towards strengthening regional cooperation and integration.
Replacing the 1996 Agreement, the Treaty provides a renewed legal and institutional foundation for IGAD's mandate, governance and structures, while broadening the framework for cooperation among Member States.
This milestone reflects years of dedication, collaboration and shared commitment. As we approach this historic moment, let us celebrate the collective efforts that have brought the Organisation this far.
Together, let us embrace a new chapter of institutional strength, regional unity and service to the people of the Horn of Africa.
Five days to go! One Treaty. One stronger IGAD. One shared future!

Dear @KampalaJournal,
We urge you to review and correct this story to avoid misleading the public.
The Presidential announcement concerned the appointment of Permanent Secretaries, including the Secretary to the Inspectorate of Government. It did not announce the removal or replacement of the Inspector General of Government, Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala.
Please ensure that both the headline and accompanying story accurately reflect the official announcement.
Thank you"
