The Electoral Commission (EC) has received the first batch of 60,000 Biometric Voter Verification Kits (BVVKs) at Entebbe International Airport as the country’s preparations for the 2026 General Elections.

The consignment which arrived in the country last night was officially received by the EC Chairperson, Justice Byabakama Mugenyi Simon alongside other senior officials from the Commission.

Justice Byabakama said the arrival of the BVVKs demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to enhancing the transparency and credibility of Uganda’s electoral process.

“The Commission, led by the Chairperson Justice Byabakama Mugenyi Simon, received the first batch of 60,000 Biometric Voter Verification Kits (BVVKs) at Entebbe International Airport following their arrival in the country last night,” the EC confirmed in a statement.

The kits will be deployed during the 2026 General Elections to ensure that each voter is biometrically verified before casting their ballot, a measure aimed at curbing voter fraud and improving the accuracy of voter identification.

“These kits will be used during the 2026 General Elections to biometrically verify every voter before polling,” Justice Byabakama explained.

He added, “This milestone underscores the Commission’s commitment to transparency and integrity in the electoral process.”

He further noted that the BVVKs are part of a wider plan to modernize the Commission’s operations and ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted efficiently, fairly, and credibly.

The EC is expected to receive additional consignments in the coming months as part of its phased procurement and deployment plan for election materials ahead of the 2026 polls.

Somalia minister commends UPDF for restoring security in Mogadishu and liberated areas

By
Our Reporter
-

Somalia’s State Minister, Ali Abdi has applauded the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) for their unwavering support in restoring peace and stability in the Horn of Africa nation, particularly in the capital, Mogadishu.

Speaking during a recent visit to Awdheegle town, a key area recently recaptured from Al-Shabaab, Minister Abdi said Somalia’s government owes much of its operational safety in Mogadishu to the presence of Ugandan forces under the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission (AUSSOM).

“You have done a very important job for the government of Somalia that will live forever. We cannot operate safely, especially in Mogadishu, if it weren’t for the UPDF securing our rear,” Minister Abdi said.

The minister was accompanied by Somalia’s Chief of Defence Forces, Maj Gen Odowaa Yusuf Rageh and the AUSSOM Force Commander, Lt Gen Sam Kavuma, on a joint mission to assess the security situation in Awdheegle and engage with both troops and local residents.

Awdheegle is one of several strategic towns recaptured from Al-Shabaab militants, less than a fortnight after intensified joint operations between UPDF and the Somali National Army (SNA). The visit also sought to evaluate humanitarian needs among the local population following months of conflict.

During the engagement, Minister Abdi urged the Somali National Army to take greater responsibility for safeguarding their country, emphasizing that AUSSOM and its partners, including UPDF, would eventually withdraw.

“It’s time for our forces to fully assume the role of defending Somalia,” he said, noting that the international support would not last indefinitely.

Maj Gen Odowaa echoed the call for self-reliance, warning that Al-Shabaab remains a persistent threat despite recent gains.

“With all the sacrifices the UPDF and partners have made in Somalia, I promise we will always be friends,” he remarked, commending Uganda’s longstanding commitment to Somalia’s stability.

Lt Gen Sam Kavuma on his part expressed optimism that the liberated areas would not fall back into the hands of extremists, citing the morale and resilience of the joint forces.

“I want to thank His Excellency, the President of Uganda, the CDF of UPDF, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and the entire UPDF leadership for accepting our proposal that led to the success of Operation Silent Storm,” Lt Gen Kavuma said.

He further praised the frontline troops for their courage and sacrifice.

“It’s you, the soldiers, who face direct fire from the enemy and neutralize the threat. Without your bravery, this success would not be possible,” he added.

As part of their visit, the joint delegation also held a community outreach activity that included a medical camp and the distribution of food supplies to residents affected by the fighting.

Officials said the successful liberation of Awdheegle signified the complete recovery of all towns previously captured by Al-Shabaab in the Lower Shabelle region.

City tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia and his wife Jyotsna at the Victoria University graduation ceremony in Munyonyo.

In a special tribute to the late Rajiv Ruparelia, city tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia and his wife Jyotsna have announced 100 full Master’s Degree scholarships to outstanding graduates of Victoria University.

The announcement was made during the university’s 9th Graduation Ceremony held today at the Speke Resort Convention Centre, Munyonyo under the theme “Shaping the Future: Innovation, Digitality and Employability.”

Representing the Ruparelia Foundation, the couple said the scholarships are meant to honor Rajiv’s memory and continue his legacy of compassion and empowerment through education.

“In remembrance of Rajiv, Sudhir and his wife have offered 100 Master’s Degree scholarships to the top-performing students,” Victoria University Vice Chancellor, Dr. Lawrence Muganga, told the gathering, describing the gesture as a heartfelt investment in the future of Uganda’s youth.

2,500 students received degrees, diplomas, and certificates across various disciplines, including business, engineering, law, education, humanities, and health sciences. The ceremony marked another milestone in Victoria University’s decade-long journey of innovation and excellence since its founding in 2013.

In his keynote address, Dr. Muganga urged graduates to embrace technological change and lifelong learning to remain competitive in a rapidly transforming world.

“A report from the World Economic Forum gives us a clear picture of the future. By 2030, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to create around Shs170 million entirely new jobs and opportunities we have never seen before. At the same time, about 92 million existing jobs are likely to disappear,” he said.

He challenged both educators and students to adapt to this reality, stressing the importance of skills that align with emerging technologies.

“This raises a crucial question: Are we preparing our students for careers that may vanish tomorrow?” Dr. Muganga asked.

He added, “At Victoria University, we have chosen a different path. Every one of our students receives AI training for free so they are prepared to excel in the future.”

Dr. Muganga also highlighted the university’s pioneering role in implementing competence-based learning, a model that equips graduates with both knowledge and hands-on skills.

“I have always advocated for competence-based learning as a way to improve our education system,” he noted.

He added, “I am proud that when the call came for all universities to adopt this approach, Victoria University was already ahead of the curve.”

The Vice Chancellor commended the graduates for their resilience and innovation, emphasizing that the combination of digital literacy, creativity, and ethical leadership will define their success in a world shaped by technology.

The Chief Guest, His Royal Highness the Kyabazinga of Busoga, William Wilberforce Nadiope Gabula IV also delivered an inspiring message to the graduates, applauding their academic achievement and urging them to be agents of positive change.

“I am most pleased to commemorate this momentous occasion with nearly 2,000 accomplished young men and women who have distinguished themselves through dedication to academic excellence,” he said.

He commended Victoria University for its growing contribution to higher education and innovation in Uganda.

“This ninth graduation ceremony is not only a significant milestone for our graduates, but also for the journey of Victoria University itself as a beacon of excellence,” the Kyabazinga said.

Reflecting on the global shifts shaping modern life, he called on graduates to embrace innovation and lifelong learning.

“We live in an era defined by rapid technological advancement, digital transformation, and unprecedented global interconnectedness. The world we are graduating into is vastly different from the one that existed when many of you first entered these halls. Innovation has gained momentum and is no longer optional,” he remarked.

He advised the graduates to carry forward the values of integrity, resilience, and curiosity.

“Your degree is not the end of your education. It is just the beginning. The world will continue to change and your relevance will depend on your willingness to grow and learn and relearn. Therefore, stay curious and hungry for knowledge,” he emphasized.

The Kyabazinga further urged them to lead with honor and compassion and also to commit to integrity and ethical leadership.

He noted, “Go forth with courage and compassion. Shape the future, not just for yourselves, but for generations yet unborn. Congratulations once again to the University Class of 2025.”

City tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia hands over a gift to President Yoweri Museveni in appreciation of his services.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the First Lady, Janet Kataaha Museveni, on Sunday hosted members of Uganda’s Indian community at State House Entebbe to celebrate Diwali 2025, the festival of lights, renewal, and hope.

The colorful celebration brought together business leaders, diplomats, and members of the Indian diaspora to mark one of the world’s most cherished cultural events.

During the function, President Museveni congratulated the Indian community in Uganda, commending their resilience and contribution to the country’s economic transformation.

“I am glad that when we called them back after Amin’s mistakes, they returned and trusted Uganda again. I thank them for that confidence,” President Museveni said, 

He recalled the expulsion of Asians during Idi Amin’s regime in the 1970s.

He praised their entrepreneurial spirit and the vital role they continue to play in national development through investment, innovation, and job creation.

“Uganda’s economy continues to grow because of the Indian community’s entrepreneurial spirit. Through their factories and services, they are helping us create jobs, a skilled middle class, and revenue for the government to educate Ugandans,” he noted.

The President further underscored the importance of unity in diversity, reminding Ugandans that the nation’s strength lies in collective progress rather than ethnic origins.

“On citizenship, it is simple all these Ugandan groups came from somewhere. What matters is our shared prosperity and nation-building,” he said, before wishing the community a joyous celebration.

First Lady Janet Museveni joined the President in extending warm Diwali greetings to the guests, highlighting the spirit of togetherness and peace that defines the festival.

The event reflected the long-standing friendship between Uganda and the Indian community, whose contributions continue to play a pivotal role in the country’s industrial and economic landscape.

Doreen Nyiramugisha, Head of Marketing and Communication of Housing Finance Bank, addressing media, partners, parents, and teachers at the commissioning of a water purification system at St. Joseph Nursery and Primary School.

Access to safe and clean water has been improved through a collaboration between Housing Finance Bank (HFB) and WaterQuip Uganda Limited, with the installation of a water purification system installed at St. Joseph’s Nursery and Primary School in Nansana.

This initiative is part of the Bank’s Water Supply and Sanitation Solution, aimed at promoting access to safe water, improved sanitation, and healthier environments across Uganda.

The intervention comes at a time when many schools and communities continue to face challenges related to access to clean and safe water. The Bank recognizes that a significant number of children suffer from preventable diseases such as typhoid, malaria, cough, and flu, which are often linked to poor sanitation and unsafe water sources. These health issues have affected school attendance and overall performance, particularly among young learners.

Through the Bank’s sustainability agenda, the Bank aims to address these challenges by ensuring that children can access clean drinking water within their school environment. The new purification system at St Joseph’s Nursery and Primary Scholl will provide safe water for over 900 pupils and staff members, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and supporting a healthier, more conducive learning environment. The system also stores up to 600 litres of clean water, ensuring that pupils and staff still have access even during power outages.

At the event, Doreen Nyiramugisha, Head Marketing Communications at Housing Finance Bank, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to sustainability and community empowerment: “At Housing Finance Bank, we believe that sustainability is not just about financial inclusion but also about improving lives and enabling communities to thrive. Through this initiative, we are investing in long-term solutions that ensure every child has access to safe water, a clean environment, and the opportunity to learn in dignity. Our partnership with WaterQuip Uganda exemplifies how collaboration can create meaningful and lasting impact,” she stated.

Ms. Adrine Atumanya, CEO of WaterQuip Uganda Limited, emphasized the importance of partnerships in advancing access to clean water and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): “Access to clean water is a fundamental human right. Through this partnership with Housing Finance Bank, we are ensuring that schools and communities can enjoy safe, purified water using sustainable technology. Together, we are advancing Uganda’s progress toward SDG 6, ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.”

The initiative aligns with Housing Finance Bank’s sustainability strategy, which prioritizes environmental stewardship, community well-being, and inclusive growth. Under the WASS (Water Supply & Sanitation Solution) umbrella, the Bank continues to implement projects that promote access to clean water, hygiene education, and environmentally conscious community development across Uganda.

Through strategic partnerships like this, Housing Finance Bank continues to demonstrate its commitment to building a healthier and more sustainable Uganda where every child can learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. By expanding access to its Water Supply and Sanitation Solution, the Bank is not only providing funding but also delivering integrated, affordable financing solutions in collaboration with expert partners. This locally tailored, people-centered approach also supports Uganda’s Vision 2040 and ensures that investments in water and sanitation infrastructure contribute to stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.

vision is to be the preferred business and consumer bank with a focus on Housing finance.

Each application must also include recommendation letters from the LC1, LCIII, and the area GISO. Submissions should be delivered to the respective District or Divisional Police Headquarters by November 1, 2025.

The Police further cautioned the public against falling victim to fraudsters posing as recruitment officers.

Rusoke revealed that one such suspect, identified as Mike Amwine, was recently arrested in Kyotera District for extorting money from unsuspecting applicants.

“On October 25, 2025, at around 5:00 p.m., our officers in Kyotera arrested a man impersonating the District Police Commander while charging applicants Shs50,000 each,” Rusoke said. “

He added, “We recovered crucial exhibits and investigations are ongoing.”

Uganda receives Shs201.4b military equipment from Russia

Donated military equipment.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has applauded Russia as a historical and ideological partner in Africa’s liberation struggle, emphasizing that Uganda’s relationship with Moscow extends far beyond defense cooperation.

The President made the remarks on Sunday, October 26, 2025, while officiating at a ceremony where the Russian Federation donated defense equipment valued at $53 million (Shs201.4 billion) to the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF). He also launched the Military Mechanised Major Repair Facility at Gaddafi Military Barracks, Magamaga, and a workshop in Entebbe that is under construction.

The donated equipment includes obstacle clearers, trench diggers, boats, workshops, and a coastal station, assets that the President described as very important and practical contributions to Uganda’s defense infrastructure.

“I want to thank His Excellency Vladimir Putin for this donation of various equipment valued at $53 million. All of them are good, and they make work so easy.” H.E. Museveni said

He added that Russia’s gesture inspires further collaboration.

President Museveni traced the roots of Africa’s political liberation and international solidarity, crediting the Soviet Union’s 1917 revolution as a turning point in global politics that gave hope to colonized nations.

“By 1900, the whole of Africa, except for Ethiopia, had been colonized. The first Africans to organize for liberation were the South Africans, who formed the ANC in 1912. But globally, we were isolated. The only friends of African freedom fighters were African Americans,” he said.

President Museveni further noted that the 1949 communist revolution in China cemented a new era of international solidarity, with both Russia and China providing material and ideological support to anti-colonial movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

“Therefore, our relationship with Russia is not just defense and security, it is ideological and strategic,” President Museveni emphasized.

The Minister of Defense and Veteran Affairs, Jacob Oboth Oboth, expressed gratitude to President Museveni for his consistent guidance and prioritization of defense as a pillar of national development.

“We want to thank you for the strategic guidance and leadership that you give to our ministry and the Uganda People’s Defense Forces. Your wise decisions in prioritizing security and defense matters as a precondition for development continue to shape our success,” Oboth said.

He expressed gratitude to the Russian government for its continued generosity and support, and reaffirming Uganda’s readiness to strengthen its defense ties with Moscow.

Representing the Chief of Defense Forces, Lt. Gen. Kayanja Muhanga, Commander of Land Forces, lauded Russia’s gesture as a sign of genuine partnership and historical continuity.

“This assistance is not just equipment and resources. It represents a powerful commitment to security, peace, and stability for all,” Gen. Kayanja said.

He emphasized that the new support would empower the UPDF to perform its duties with increased efficiency.

The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Uganda, H.E Vladlen Semivolos reaffirmed the long-standing friendship between Russia and Uganda, grounded in principles of mutual trust, non-interference, and respect for national sovereignty, adding that Russia was among the first countries to recognize Uganda’s independence.

He also lauded President Museveni for his leadership in fostering national independence and regional stability.

“We are pleased to see that under His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Uganda continues to develop as a strong, independent, democratic, and prosperous country,” Ambassador Vladlen said, referencing the meeting between Presidents Museveni and Russia’s Putin at the Second Russia–Africa Summit in 2023, which he said laid a strong foundation for deepening bilateral relations.

In recognition of the longstanding partnership, 10 Russian dignitaries were awarded the National Independence Diamond Jubilee Medal for their contributions to strengthening Uganda’s sovereignty and defense.

The medal, conferred under Section 3 of the National Honors and Awards Act (2001, Cap 173), recognizes individuals who have rendered outstanding service and loyalty to the country, especially those who have contributed significantly to the protection and promotion of Uganda’s independence.

The event drew a high-level audience from Uganda’s defense and security establishment. Among those present were: Ms. Rosette Byengoma, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defense and Veteran Affairs, Lt. Gen. Jack Agonza Bakasumba, UPDF Chief of Joint Staff, Maj. Gen. D.K. Sande, Commander of the UPDF Armored Division.
