leadership

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.

For years I watched quietly as a few individuals turned SC Villa into a private estate. Now I am speaking out about the Shs 3.4 billion controversy, the restrictive nomination fees, and why the club’s statutes must be restored to protect its future.

I did not take SC Villa to court out of bitterness. I did it because the club’s constitution is being ignored, elections are being delayed indefinitely, and the voices of tens of thousands of fans are being sidelined.

With several prominent politicians losing their seats in the 2026 elections, football may offer them a powerful comeback platform—reviving clubs, reconnecting with communities, and reshaping their influence beyond Parliament.
