Trees have long been recognised for their role in climatic modification, but their benefits extend beyond that. They can be used for fugitive dust suppression, particularly in areas with poor road status, such as Najjera in Wakiso District and Bugujju in Mukono District.
A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from a seemingly anxious recent graduate, and my former student named Robert. Below is part of what our conversation was like:
Every family faces challenges, and each family is unique in its own way. People have different perspectives and experiences, which means conflicts are sometimes inevitable. It is not easy for individuals to live together without disagreements, misunderstandings, or disputes. However, conflicts can be healthy when properly managed, as they help us recognise our strengths and weaknesses and can lead to personal and relational growth.
Many have wondered what a Donald J. Trump victory would mean for Uganda and the continent of Africa. Trump’s new Administration has yet to outline any vision for Africa.

Very soon our university will be witnessing a Guild leadership handover. When it happens, it will be the 27th function of its kind. I have been serving with the outgoing team as MP School of Journalism, and Minister of Information. As such, I have the burden to share a few notes with the 27th Guild leadership to help them serve the university better. I seek to give this advice because I, my colleagues, and those who served before us hold a unique position since we have completed the same journey you are about to begin. We have knowledge to share both from the things we did right and from the mistakes we made.
The student leadership elections at Uganda Christian University (UCU) are a unique process and have become a model that other institutions are starting to emulate. One of the defining features of UCU’s elections is the absence of political parties. This allows candidates to focus on issues within the university rather than being swayed by external influences.
How attentive are we to the well-being of those around us? Do we notice subtle changes in behavior that might indicate someone is struggling? More importantly, do you create an environment where individuals feel safe to confide in you when they encounter inevitable life challenges?
Birungi’s government has been criticised for being inaccessible. Even though open days are held, student turnout is low. In today’s digital age, effective communication is crucial; yet students have reported being allegedly blocked from the guild president’s social media accounts. I have suffered this fate too.
