President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has paid tribute to Uganda's heroes and heroines, commemorating their sacrifices in the struggle for freedom, democracy, and national transformation.
In his Heroes Day message, Museveni noted that June 9 was chosen to symbolize the sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of Ugandans who lost their lives during periods of conflict, particularly in the Luweero Triangle. He recalled that after the war, 32 communal graves were identified and the victims' skulls collected as a reminder of the atrocities endured by the population.

The President said that when the National Resistance Army (NRA) launched the liberation struggle, Uganda was facing severe economic decline, insecurity, governance challenges, and a lack of democratic freedoms.
According to Museveni, the movement's objectives were to restore democracy, guarantee security, rebuild and diversify the economy, and restore national stability.

He thanked both civilian and military veterans who participated in the liberation struggle and paid tribute to those who lost their lives, as well as their families.
Museveni said that while significant progress has been made, Uganda's next major challenge is achieving economic transformation and ensuring that every household participates in the money economy.

Four people have been confirmed dead and several others injured following a tragic road crash involving a vehicle that was part of the welcome convoy for Uganda Taxi Operators Federation (UTOF) Chairman Hajji Rashid Ssekindi.
The accident occurred on Monday as supporters were returning from Entebbe International Airport after receiving Hajji Ssekindi, who had just returned from the holy pilgrimage in Mecca.

Among those who lost their lives was the driver, Sam Kubalingira. The injured were rushed to Kiruddu National Referral Hospital for treatment.
Preliminary reports indicate that the vehicle overturned during the procession, crushing several people who were reportedly riding on top of it. Authorities are yet to establish the exact cause of the crash.

The incident has renewed calls for road safety, with experts warning against riding on top of moving vehicles, overloading, and reckless convoy behavior, practices that can turn minor accidents into fatal tragedies.
Investigations into the crash are ongoing.

Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and Democratic Party President General Norbert Mao has told residents of Amuru District that he has confronted what he described as the root cause of their political challenges following recent engagements in Kampala.

Addressing a public gathering, Mao said he prefers tackling problems at their source rather than focusing on their effects.
“I told you earlier that I don’t fight the shadow of the snake. I know where the big snake was. I went to Kampala and I hope you’ve seen what I have done. I have beaten the head of the snake,” Mao said.

While he did not elaborate on what or who he was referring to, his remarks have sparked debate among supporters and critics alike. Some interpreted the statement as a reference to recent political negotiations and engagements at the national level, while others called for tangible results rather than symbolic declarations.

Mao urged residents to remain patient, insisting that addressing the source of a problem is more important than dealing with its symptoms.
“The symptoms may still linger, but the source has been dealt with,” he added.

Namisindwa District LC5 Chairperson Emma Bwayo has launched investigations into what he described as suspicious expenditure after discovering budget records indicating that Shs30 million was spent on the purchase of eight electrical power sockets in Tsekululu Sub-county.

Bwayo expressed shock at the figures, questioning how such an amount could be spent on a small number of sockets.
“Somebody went and bought eight electrical sockets at Shs30 million. How much does one socket cost? I connected electricity throughout my entire house for only Shs1.5 million,” he said.

The district chairperson also raised concerns over another expenditure item showing that Shs25 million was spent on the purchase of two doors in Bukokho Sub-county, with an additional Shs5 million reportedly allocated for labour.
Bwayo said the expenditures raise serious questions about accountability and value for money in the use of public funds.

He vowed to continue pursuing investigations and intensify the fight against corruption in Namisindwa District.
The probe is expected to establish how the funds were spent and whether procurement procedures were followed.

The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, has criticized the government's spending priorities, questioning why funds are available for purchasing vehicles for Members of Parliament while medical interns continue to struggle for adequate support.

Speaking on the issue, Archbishop Kaziimba said it is difficult to justify allocating Shs158 billion for MPs' vehicles while claiming that Shs28 billion for medical interns' allowances would place a strain on the economy.
He emphasized the critical role played by medical interns in Uganda's healthcare system, noting that they often provide much of the day-to-day care in hospitals.

“You cannot say that you have Shs158 billion to purchase cars for MPs and then claim that you do not have Shs28 billion to pay medical interns’ allowances, with the excuse that it would crush the economy. By the way, doctors are rarely in the hospitals. It is the medical interns who are everywhere doing the donkey work,” Archbishop Kaziimba said.
