leadership

A heartfelt reflection on two remarkable men whose humility, wisdom, faith, and quiet strength have left a lasting impact on my life.

Uganda may build world-class stadiums for Afcon 2027, but infrastructure alone will not create atmosphere, patriotism, or memorable hosting. The country already has a ready-made mobilisation network in Hellen Seku’s patriotism movement, one capable of turning ordinary citizens into passionate fans, volunteers, and ambassadors for the continent’s biggest football tournament.

A silent amendment to Uganda’s Building Control Act could reshape the engineering profession. While the country debates sovereignty, engineers risk losing authority, relevance, and affordability in the very sector they built.

Ugandan banks must shift from collateral-based lending to project-based financing to empower local contractors, create jobs, and unlock the country’s infrastructure potential.

Uganda’s infrastructure boom is leaving local contractors behind. Without deliberate policy—especially skills transfer—foreign-led projects risk building roads and stadiums, but not a generation of Ugandan expertise.

My journey with SC Villa has been defined by mobilisation, leadership, triumphs, intrigue and betrayal. From rescuing the club in moments of crisis to confronting the politics that threaten its future, this is my account of what really happened and why Villa must return to transparent, fan-driven governance.
