The Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has assigned Patriotic Officer (PO) numbers to 82 more members of the organisation, marking another step in strengthening its internal administrative and leadership structure.

The latest assignments, which run from PO100 to PO181, bring together Ugandans from diverse backgrounds, including public service, politics, governance, business, security and community mobilisation.

Among those assigned Patriotic Officer numbers are senior public officials, including Minister for Foreign Affairs Hon. Adonia Ayebare, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Eng. Jonard Asiimwe, State Minister for Internal Affairs Hon. Juma Witonze, Deputy Attorney General Hon. Jackson Kafuuzi and Director of Presidential Projects and Industrial Hubs Eng. Raymond Kamugisha.

Also on the list is Special Presidential Assistant – Press and Mobilisation and Deputy Press Secretary to the President, Alhaji Faruk Kirunda, assigned PO132, as well as several other professionals, community leaders and members drawn from different sectors of Ugandan society.

The assignment of Patriotic Officer numbers forms part of the PLU’s internal organisational framework, providing an administrative identity to members and reinforcing the organisation’s leadership structure and accountability.

The latest assignments also reflect the continued expansion of PLU’s membership and organisational network as it seeks to strengthen its presence across different sectors and communities in Uganda.

The organisation has continued to emphasise patriotism, national unity, civic participation, disciplined leadership and service to the country as key elements of its mission.

In a message accompanying the list, PLU General Secretary Rt. Hon. Twalla Fadil congratulated the newly appointed Patriotic Officers and urged them to serve with diligence, loyalty and commitment.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES EUROPEAN INVESTORS TO TAP INTO UGANDA’S ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged European investors to take advantage of Uganda’s economic opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and agriculture, saying investment in productive sectors is key to expanding markets, creating jobs and accelerating economic transformation.    The President made the remarks today at State House Entebbe during a meeting with European Union Ambassadors and investors, where he highlighted Africa’s growing population and expanding market as a major opportunity for European businesses seeking investment and stronger economic partnerships. “This is what we have been advising our European friends to look at, because Africa is a big potential market with its fast-growing population,” he said. President Museveni attributed political instability in some African countries partly to identity-based politics, including tribalism, religious divisions and ideological misunderstandings, as well as a failure to appreciate the role of the private sector in driving economic growth. He said Uganda had learnt from these challenges and emphasised the need for a stable political and economic environment that enables private businesses to invest, expand production and create employment. The President welcomed ongoing and proposed European investments in Uganda, particularly in infrastructure and other productive sectors, saying such projects would strengthen economic links between Uganda and the European market. “All these projects are music to my ears. By constructing these projects here, you are linking the market of Uganda to that of Europe. Why can’t anyone see that?” he asked. On energy, President Museveni said the cost of electricity remained a critical factor in Uganda’s competitiveness, particularly for manufacturers seeking to produce goods at affordable prices. While welcoming private-sector investment in hydropower generation, he called for greater attention to electricity tariffs, arguing that affordable power was essential for industrial expansion and economic growth. He identified affordable electricity, railway transport and accessible financing for productive investments as key priorities for strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The President cited the Uganda Development Bank as an important source of financing for businesses engaged in productive activities, explaining that the government had retained the institution to support investments capable of expanding production and creating jobs. He also urged the European Investment Bank to channel more financing into strategic infrastructure, particularly railway development, electricity generation and distribution, and selected road projects. On road infrastructure, President Museveni encouraged European investors to explore opportunities in construction and financing models, including tolling arrangements where appropriate. The President also reaffirmed the government’s support for tax incentives aimed at attracting investment, particularly in manufacturing, and emphasised the importance of enabling eligible businesses to benefit from a 10-year tax holiday. ...
