Distinguished Guests
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Madam Speaker,
In fulfillment of the Constitutional requirement stipulated in article 101 (1) of the Constitution of Uganda, I stand here to deliver the State of the Nation Address, 2014.
This is not a mere constitutional ritual as some people may want to perceive it but accountability on particular Government commitments since the last State of the Nation Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
A human group that must survive has to ensure its security and prosperity.
This is the acid test to which all political, cultural, economic and social systems must be subjected to in order to determine their usefulness to society.
As soon as the Universal elective processes were introduced in Uganda, the shallow opportunists immediately hatched two schemes of winning power against the democratic phenomena.
One scheme was sectarianism and the other was election rigging.
Both result in the negating of the democratic process because they distort the results of the process.
The Minister for Africa in the UK, Hon Mark Simmons, The Chairman of the Commonwealth Business Council, Lord Marland of Odstock, Honourable Ministers and Representatives of the Diplomatic Community in London, Esteemed Members of the Business Community in London and Uganda, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you for inviting me to address such a distinguished audience. I have confidence that by the end of this forum, there will be decisions to locate...
Maama Janet and I joined other Christians for Easter prayers at St. Mathew Cathedral Kyamate in Ntungamo district.
We prayed for our country's blessings, unity and prosperity for all Ugandan families.
I listened to Bishop Nathan Ahimbisibwe's summon that emphasized unity and harmony no matter what religion one is affiliated to or gender.
I have this afternoon presided over the pass out of the first regiment of the Police Field Force Unit at the Police Training School in Kabalye, Masindi district.
The unit is 692 officer-strong including 51 women.
The human body is capable of high performance and training brings out this potential, moreover an effective police force will enhance our overall defence capabilities.
When you sing the Buganda Anthem and the National Anthem, remember to sing the East African anthem. 'Tulina okusakira abantu baffe.’
We shouldn't be only Baganda or Ugandans but Africans. That is where our future lies.
These properties were contentious because in the 1995 constitution and 1993 traditional leaders act, we restored cultural institutions which were cultural, not administrative, not political.
