AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

DRC Ebola Surge: WHO says the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in eastern DR Congo has jumped to 4,665 cases and 2,184 deaths, spreading across 54 health zones in six provinces, with 579 cases and 304 deaths reported in one week—raising fears of wider regional spread including Uganda. Uganda Digital Policy: Uganda Internet Governance Week 2026 pushed for an inclusive, safe, AI-ready internet, with calls for stronger digital skills, online safety, and better regulation beyond just expanding connectivity. Uganda Railways Accountability: The Auditor General reports Uganda Railways Corporation is still loss-making—citing weak revenue collection, idle assets, missing wagons, delayed rehabilitation, and unresolved land issues—despite government investment. Government & Arts: Uganda is moving toward an official send-off for veteran playwright/actor Alex Mukulu, with mourning ceremonies planned around the National Theatre as family and government negotiate burial arrangements. Clean Cooking Push: UECCC urged faster adoption of cleaner cooking energy to cut health harms and deforestation, calling for coordinated action across government, finance, private sector, and faith groups. Regional Trade Tension: Uganda and Kenya challenge Rwanda’s alcohol ban at EAC level, arguing affected products meet harmonised standards and Rwanda failed to formally notify concerns. UPDF Air Force Retirements: UPDF Air Force retired 56 officers, urging them to stay productive and avoid reckless lifestyles as the wider Batch 16 retirement exercise continues.
