I thank @WilliamsRuto for leading a strong delegation from Kenya and the commitments made on behalf of Kenya this afternoon. I congratulate him on the Young Achievers' Lifetime Award he received last night at Kampala Serena Hotel.pic.twitter.com/smEBV88xrt

We also encourage the youth to form groups and take advantage of the abundance of stones in the area which can be used to make stone pavers. Government will support them with the required machinery.pic.twitter.com/1A0fLq2zlY

I thank our children from Sebei region for bringing honour to Uganda and Africa, by bagging medals in different athletics competitions. The Government will continue to support their endeavours and complete building the high altitude training facility.pic.twitter.com/wRm1zfbViZ

In the same spirit, I have discouraged the growing of maize as a major source of livelihood here, without much headway. Studies show that coffee, apples, grapes and vegetables would make better business sense even for small land holders. But I will continue the engagement.pic.twitter.com/EYYwn21nA3

We also had protracted negotiations on the issue of female genital mutilation until we resorted to more forceful means. The success is tremendous but we are not done yet.pic.twitter.com/tPNw3Xk2tt

Due to insecurity and acts like cross-border cattle rustling, some parts of Sebei had been abandoned by residents in previous governments. But the peace dividend is paying off now. The Sabiny are almost half a million due to stability.pic.twitter.com/YUbOYwVZUt

About the Kapchorwa-Suam road project, which will be co-funded by the African Development Bank and both our governments, it is a timely undertaking that we believe will further strengthen trade ties between our countries as we make the East African Community a reality.pic.twitter.com/xOfbtdnddR

We also presided over a fundraiser for the completion of construction of St Peter's Cathedral, Kapchorwa, where I offered Shs400m towards the project. I thank His Excellency Ruto for the Shs350m offer he made to the initiative.pic.twitter.com/bgNtBysg30

In Kapchorwa District this afternoon, Kenya's Deputy President, @WilliamsRuto, and I officiated at the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the Kapchorwa-Bukwo-Suam road. It will link with the Suam-Kitale road on the Kenyan side. #KapchorwaRoadpic.twitter.com/veIm3Qh240

I also advise you to embrace the four-acre model. When you come to Baralege, you will see what I am talking about. Lango and Teso have got great wealth which is not being used; the swamps. You can put fish ponds on the side. Fish is a gold mine globally.pic.twitter.com/gRoW6BErAq

The other issue is water but safe water coverage is increasing, with 75% of the population now covered. Previously, Guinea worm ravaged here because of safe water challenges but it is no more.pic.twitter.com/gVYC6CGlrA

On development, government will tarmack the road from Aboke to Bobi. Where we can't tarmack the roads, we have given the districts road equipments to work on the murram roads. In Oyam, I have seen you are doing well.pic.twitter.com/KoWNj2ndzN

Peace is what brings development. I am a cattle keeper. If the cows do not bring calves then I worry. It is the same with the human beings, if they don't bring forth children then I get worried. These crowds here are big and full of young, educated people because of peace.pic.twitter.com/3jlnIt46Eb

NRM believes in reconciliation. We do not believe in tribal or religious sectarianism. The NRM ideology is about love and building in unity. We have been able to build strong institutions like the national army which is able to bring peace.pic.twitter.com/kjnsXXvKwy

I congratulate and salute people like Hon Okello Engola who fought rebels here. The rebellions wasted our time. I also congratulate the people of Oyam North for creating a hotline between the Government and their constituency by voting Engola.pic.twitter.com/7cYF1DB0Yw

Was in Oyam District where I presided over the ground breaking ceremony of Tochi Irrigation Scheme and later attended the thanksgiving ceremony of Hon Charles Okello Engola, the Minister of State for Defence and MP for Oyam North.pic.twitter.com/fMFxrIvrdQ

Abe's company also plans to introduce mosquito-repellant paint on the Ugandan market. The government will offer the investors necessary support to see through their projects.pic.twitter.com/wTrLrlhzZa

Earlier in the week, we met at State House Entebbe where Abe and other Japanese investors indicated their willingness to start a "smart city" that would be self-sustaining, technology oriented and have a commercial bank focusing on agriculture and mortgage financing.pic.twitter.com/qtNS8HV9lq

Took Ms Kalpana Abe, the Vice President of Kansai Plascon, Japan's largest paint company, on a tour of my Kisozi Farm in Gomba District.pic.twitter.com/um2jOYgexl
