Maama Janet and I spent a lovely day yesterday, with our children and grandchildren at Rwakyitura. As we celebrate Christmas, I commend Ugandans for reaching this milestone. We thank God for keeping many of us safe, even as we mourn those lost in tragedies like the Kiteezi incident, Bulambuli floods, and others. Despite the challenges, Uganda remains largely peaceful, and we are grateful. I encourage reflection on the parable of the talents and the importance of wisely using our gifts. This wet season is a blessing, yet many waste their resources through reckless living. I will share more in my end-of-year address.
