“37th Heroes’ Day Celebrations to be Held at State House Entebbe” Says Minister Babalanda kampalapress.com/news/37th-hero…

Watch Live THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS.

This morning, I held a press briefing at Uganda's Media Centre regarding the 37th Heroes' celebrations arrangements. On the 9th of June 2026, Uganda is scheduled to hold celebrations marking the 37th Heroes' Day Anniversary at State House Entebbe in a scientific manner. The implication is that there won't be a public gathering in some specific venue as it has been in the previous years. The change in the nature of our commemoration has been due to the fact that the country is observing strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) due to the Ebola pandemic. Rationale for the virtual celebrations: As you may recall, on 16th May 2026, H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda, after consultation with the National Epidemic Response Task Force and religious leaders, decided to postpone the much-anticipated Annual Uganda Martyrs' Pilgrimage due to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is on account that Uganda receives thousands of pilgrims annually from Eastern Congo. which is currently experiencing an Ebola outbreak; hence the need to safeguard everyone's life. Subsequently, on 17th May 2026, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) also declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda and that it constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). As you may notice, the Heroes Day celebrations fall only 6 (six) days after the Uganda Martyrs Day of 3rd June; it thus makes sense to assume that it may not be possible to congregate Ugandans at Kololo on 9th June 2026. Since the 37th Heroes' Day Anniversary Celebrations fall immediately after a successful function of the swearing-in and inaugural ceremonies of the president-elect; the National Organising Committee has decided to maintain the theme of the swearing-in at the 37th Heroes' Day Celebrations: "Protecting the Gains as we make a Qualitative Leap into High Middle-Income Status." H.E. President Yoweri Museveni @KagutaMuseveni will officiate at the function and will be joined by less than twenty-five (25) guests, chosen from the three Arms of government, religious leaders and representatives from the Luwero Triangle Veteran Association. The rest of the country will receive the President's message via the national broadcaster, the UBC, and other broadcasters that have national audiences. Thanksgiving prayers shall be held throughout the country to commemorate this auspicious day. I call upon all Ugandans to attend these prayers in your respective places of worship on the designated dates as follows: Friday 5th June, 2026: Prayers in all mosques; Saturday 6th June, 2026: Prayers in all Seventh Day Adventist Churches and Sunday 7th June, 2026: Prayers in all the other churches. At the moment, we have not yet received any indications of state visitors to grace the occasion. I will brief the country on this matter as new developments unfold. As the government takes charge of managing the Ebola pandemic, I urge all Ugandans to follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to combat the spread of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Regularly wash your hands with clean running water and soap, or use alcohol-based hand sanitisers. Avoid touching bodily fluids (blood, saliva, sweat, vomit) and surfaces. The Heroes' Day remains a public holiday.

We can officially say that all is set for the State of the Nation 2026 which is starting in a few minutes upon the arrival of the President, H.E. @KagutaMuseveni. Live: x.com/parliament_ug/…

Today's NewVision.

During a Sabbath service at SDA Church Mafubira in Jinja City yesterday, I urged the people of Busoga to join me in serving Ugandans with equity. I implored the congregation to stick to and trust God in whatever they plan to do, because he will always pave the way for them, no matter who their enemies are. I expressed gratitude to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni for the trust he has placed in me throughout my career, beginning with my appointment as Deputy RDC, Senior Presidential Advisor (SPA) on political affairs, and now as Minister In Charge of the Presidency for the two consecutive terms in office. I am grateful to God that in my services, my legacy has remained free of any scandal. I also urged them to make an effort in combating corruption as Uganda strives to achieve upper-middle-income status. As H.E. President Museveni stated that: "this Kisanja no sleeping and no more corruption," during his swearing-in at Kololo, it is our responsibility as Ugandans to fight corruption because it affects us all. Corruption has a variety of direct and indirect effects on the Ugandan economy. The majority of the impact manifests itself in lost efficiency, reduced investment, and weakened public services. When public funds are diverted, projects cost more while delivering less. Roads, hospitals, schools are under-built and other social services are delayed. The Inspectorate of Government estimates that corruption costs Uganda approximately UGX 10 trillion per year, or 9.4% of GDP.

PUBLIC NOTICE!.... My office has been informed that there is a group of people going around asking money from people to organize a homecoming party for me in Jinja City. This serves to inform the general public, RDCs, and the business community in Jinja City and Busoga in general that I have not approved any celebration party arrangements in Jinja City. Those soliciting money from RDCs, the business community, and my friends in the disguise of organising a party for me are conmen who should be reported to the nearest police station. Lastly, I urge whoever is involved in this kind of arrangement should immediately put a stop to it. Wait for my formal communication in case of any party arrangement, which is most likely to be a Thanksgiving in Budiope West.

I express my appreciation to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni on my re-appointment as Minister for the Presidency. I am deeply humbled and honoured by the trust and confidence you have placed in me through my re-appointment as Minister for the Presidency in the cabinet for the term 2026–2031. Your leadership and vision for Uganda continue to inspire service anchored in patriotism, Pan-Africanism, socio-economic transformation and democracy. I receive this appointment not as a personal achievement but as a renewed call to duty to serve the people of Uganda with integrity, diligence, and commitment to the NRM Manifesto and the country’s development agenda. I pledge to execute my responsibilities with loyalty, accountability, and focus on delivering tangible results under the guidance of your administration. It is my commitment to uphold the values of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), strengthen coordination within the Presidency, and support the realisation of Uganda’s Vision 2040. I thank Your Excellency for this opportunity to continue serving our nation. May the Almighty God grant you wisdom, strength, and good health as you steer Uganda to greater heights. Psalm :107:42: "God acts justly and restores order, righteous people recognize it and rejoice, while the evil souls are silenced".

Congratulations, Hon. Babirye @millybabalanda, MP for Budiope West, on your reappointment as Minister of the Presidency. Many thanks to H.E. President Yoweri @KagutaMuseveni for putting his trust in you. Psalm 107:42: "The upright see & rejoice, but the wicked shut their mouths."

@millybabalanda @HackMe_Official @Tom_Magambo Sorry afande @Tom_Magambo, May the Almighty strengthen you.

I do extend my deepest condolences to the Director of the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) of the Uganda Police Force, Afande Tom Magambo @Tom_Magambo , his wife, and the entire family for the passing of your beloved son, Timothy Magambo, who tragically drowned last week in the USA. With a heavy heart, there are no words that can fully ease the pain of a parent losing a child, but please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May you find strength in the memories of Timothy, in the love of your family, and in the support of friends. May the Lord grant Timothy eternal rest, and may He give you, your family, and all who loved him the comfort and peace you need in the days ahead. Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” May his soul rest in eternity!

Throughout Uganda's modern political history, H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni's @KagutaMuseveni guidance on sensitive national and party matters has consistently been informed by patriotism, experience, and a sincere desire to preserve stability while accelerating national development. Time and again, his decisions have proved to be calculated not for personal gain but for the broader interests of the country and the cohesion of the National Resistance Movement.

I warmly congratulate Rt Hon. Jacob Oboth-Oboth and Rt Hon. Thomas Tayebwa for taking up the leadership role of the 12th Parliament of Uganda. Congratulations to both of you on your election as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament of Uganda. Your election reflects the trust and confidence Parliament places in your experience, legal acumen, and dedication to public service. It is beyond just leadership but rather carrying a critical mandate of guiding debate with fairness, upholding parliamentary rules, and ensuring the House serves the interests of all Ugandans. Together, you now hold the responsibility of steering Parliament at a time when Uganda needs decisive legislation, robust oversight, and representation that translates into tangible development for citizens. I am confident that under your joint leadership, the 12th Parliament will foster constructive dialogue, promote accountability, and advance policies that grow the economy and improve the livelihoods of Ugandans. I also express gratitude to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni for guiding the leadership of our nation to the right direction. May the Almighty God grant you wisdom, integrity, and strength as you execute this important duty for our nation.
