MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2025

Good morning! 

Welcome back to a brand-new week. 🙂As usual - we keep it simple and precise - so you can focus.

We start with 

📆 Today in History. 

On this day in 1986 - The Oprah Winfrey Show was born. The first topic discussed was “How to Marry the Man or Woman of Your Choice”.  

📌And on the same day but in 1979 - PINK - the American singer-songwriter, producer and actress was born. 

⁉️Banaye, the political season is back. And it gets hotter every time -to the extent of family members fighting each other. 

So, we ask - how do we effectively talk about politics with family without damaging relationships? Is it about finding common ground or simply agreeing to disagree? 

We would love to hear from you. 

In the news

📰Government has started building a museum for Kabaka Mwanga & Omukama Kabalega at Kangai Town Center in  Dokolo District. 

Called the Dokolo Heritage Center - the 15-billion-shilling facility, to be ready in 2-years, will create jobs, attract tourists and promote local artisans & cultural practitioners. 

Kangai TC is where the two kings were captured by the Bazungu

📰Meanwhile, URA has confirmed that the daily revenue collection from containers has increased to 20 billion shillings - after it started cracking down on middlemen who were under-declaring imports and pocketing taxes. 

“By April 2025, we discovered that government was losing a lot; container leaders had taken the role of URA to assess traders and collect tax, and traders were being exploited. Once we stopped that practice, we saw a significant increase in the collections" John Musinguzi Rujoki - Commissioner General. 

📌In parliament, the Ministry of Health has presented a new bill, The National Drug and Health Products Authority Bill, 2025, to help address the limitations in the current law.
