Can. Kazibwe revealed that, “We need to build another chapel that is going to accommodate all of us and that which lifts the glory of God in such an institution”.
Thanking those who contributed and entrusted the school management with their money, Mr. Kazibwe said, the entire project will cost UGX 14 Bn.
Asked why a chapel is that important in a first world school like Kings College Budo, Can. Kazibwe said, it is all about producing learners with Character.
“The country needs people with character that can transform their areas of jurisdiction. The challenges we have in most developing countries, are people who can not be trusted with public funds. A chapel trains people to be honest, to be with integrity, to be people who have a feel for others. And that is why at Kings College Budo, we need a chapel.” Kazibwe told journalists.
According to Can. Kazibwe, work is expected to start this year, mid November, and will be completed within a year.

Was this story published by Daily Monitor on May 21, 2025 against Parliament, a ‘Chemical’?
BY MOSES MUGALULA
A WAR said to have been started by Namuwongo based Daily Monitor and it’s sister media house NTV Uganda against the ruling government in Uganda has deepened!
Few hours after National Media Group, Mother company to Daily Monitor, NTV, Spark tv, 93.3 fm and Dembe radio station released a tough statement protesting a decision to block their journalists from covering the Parliament of Uganda on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 and a months-long blockage from covering the President of Uganda, Mr. Faruk Kirunda, the Special Presidential Assistant on Press and Mobilization has shot back!
In his response, Haji Kirunda says, “To set the record straight: H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni stopped NMG (parent company of DailyMonitor, ntvuganda, 933kfm, etc) from covering him as an individual- after persistent instances of misreporting on him.”
HEAD OF STATE: Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
Kirunda reveals that, one such instance was at Kisozi when Mr. Museveni hosted MPs on a Wealth Creation tour.
“NMG management is aware of these problematic instances, which were brought to their attention. But the President didn’t stop NMG from working in Uganda or covering other Government institutions. Moreover, as PPU, we provide press releases and appreciate their use.” Reads, Mr. Kirunda’s response.
He noted that, President Museveni cannot infringe on Constitutional provisions (on free media) when he was the one who oversaw the return to Constitutionalism and rule of law in Uganda, and is the most media-friendly person.
A day President Museveni had an engagement with journalists in Mukono
On many incidences, President Museveni has been branding Daily Monitor, ‘Enemy paper’, saying it is working for those fighting and sabotaging his government.
WE WILL NOT BE THREATENED – NMG TOUGH STATEMENT
Bellow is a full statement from Nation Media Group (NMG) signed by Ms. Suzan Nsibirwa, Managing Director:
The National Media Group-Uganda has, with deep concern noted the decision to block our journalists from covering the Parliament of Uganda on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
This decision follows a months-long blockage on our journalists from covering the President of Uganda.
Photo: President Museveni arriving for a campaign rally. NMG banned from covering him over what State House calls, misrepresentation of facts against the Head of State
There has been no formal communication to explain this blockade. We have not been informed of any contraventions that we or our journalists might have committed and have therefore been denied the right of reply or due process.
Today’s Page 1 lead story by The Daily Monitor
These rights are not favours. They are enshrined in the 1995 Constitution of Uganda which was enacted 30 years ago this month and are at the heart of the rule of law and good manners upon which free and democratic societies are built.
In addition, The Presidency and Parliament are public institutions funded by taxpayers and accountable to the citizens.
Denying coverage and access to independent media violates the letter and spirit of constitution of Uganda which guarantees freedom of the Press, media and expression. It also denied citizens to know what their elected leaders are doing in their name, undermining accountability, transparency and good governance.
Despite the blockade from the Presidency since March 2025, we have remained committed to our cardinal role of serving the public through journalism that informs, educates and entertains. We have therefore not stopped covering the President.
We also noted that our journalists have been the target of repression and violence, as shown, most recently in the Kawempe North Parliamentary byelection in March 2025 and the current presidential elections.
The latest decision by Parliament therefore, compounds what seems to be a growing cancer of intolerance and restriction on media freedom which we condemn in the strongest terms, possible. Independent media like ours seeks to hold those in power accountable to citizens, following taxpayers money, reporting on human rights and the country’s democracy.
PRINCIPALS OF THE AUGUST HOUSE: Speaker Anita Among and Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa
Playing a watchdog role across government ministries, departments and agencies is part of that mandate.We therefore reiterate that;
• We shall not abdicate our responsibility to do bold and thoughtful journalism and to hold those in power accountable.
• We shall continue to defend media freedoms and the bill of rights guaranteed by our constitution and underpin our constitutional order.
• Lastly, we implore the Presidency and Parliament to hid to the Constitution of Uganda and which provides for the right to access information which is vital for our journalists to do their work. We should always remember that democracy dies in the darkness.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
PRESIDENT Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called on cultural leaders across the country to play an active role in guiding their people toward wealth creation and unity, emphasizing that socio-economic transformation must go hand in hand with development if Ugandans are to achieve sustainable prosperity.
The President made the remarks in a speech delivered on his behalf by the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Annet Among during the 3rd coronation anniversary of His Royal Highness Paul Sande Etomeileng Emolot III, the Emorimor held at Emokori Boma Grounds in Bukedea District.
Rt. Hon. Anita Among is also the 2nd National Vice Chairperson and the reigning Female Member of Parliament for Bukedea District. She is unopposed for 2026 Parliamentary Elections.
President Museveni congratulated the Emorimor and the Iteso community for the achievements realized during his three years of leadership.
He commended the Kingdom for embracing the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) vision of wealth creation and socio-economic transformation.“Three years ago, you were entrusted with the mantle of presiding over the cultural affairs of your people. Today, we celebrate the achievements registered under your reign,” Museveni, said, adding, “Cultural leadership plays a vital role in preserving people’s identity, their languages, customs, and traditions. I commend the Kingdom’s leadership for embracing the NRM message on wealth creation and for mobilizing the community to engage in productive enterprises.”
The Head of State also highlighted key achievements of the NRM government, including maintaining peace and stability, uniting Ugandans beyond sectarian divides, expanding education and healthcare, and investing heavily in infrastructure such as roads and power generation.
However, he noted that development must translate into tangible household wealth, saying, “Development alone is not enough. It must be translated into jobs and wealth for families to be meaningful.”
Museveni further appealed to both political and cultural leaders to foster unity and tolerance among communities, warning against the dangers of identity-based politics.
“The NRM’s philosophy is built on interests, not identity. Interests such as the need for schools, hospitals, roads, and electricity are shared by all people. When leaders emphasize identity over interests, they divide society and slow progress,” he cautioned.
In her brief opening remarks, Rt. Hon. Anita Among commended the NRM government under President Museveni for reinstating cultural institutions that had been abolished in the past.
She noted that these institutions continue to play a vital role in promoting unity, preserving heritage, and fostering community development.

NUP’S FLORENCE ASIO: As a family, we agreed not to stand against my mother Rt. Hon. Anita Among
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
THE National Unity Platform (NUP) flag bearer for the Bukedea Woman MP seat, Florence Asio, has refuted claims by her own Party bosses that she was kidnapped ahead of nominations.
In a video she recorded from her sitting room, a calm speaking Asio said, her not appearing on the nominations day has nothing to do with Speaker Anita Among as it was alleged by NUP Spokesperson who also doubles as Leader of Opposition (LOP), Joel Ssenyonyi Bisekezi.
Asio’s disappearance last week sparked widespread concern within NUP, which alleged that she had been abducted to block her from challenging Speaker Anita Among, who was later declared unopposed for the seat after no other aspirant presented herself before the electoral commission, for the seat.
However, Asio has since resurfaced and dismissed the kidnapping allegations, saying her absence was due to personal reasons.
“I am here to clear the air. It is not true that I was abducted. I decided to pull out of the race due to family pressure. My family didn’t support my move to contest against Speaker Anita Among who is my mother. So we agreed that I don’t contest. Therefore, no body should spread lies that I was abducted or blocked from contesting. Ignore such lies. I am very fine.” Says, Asio in a trending video.
UNOPPOSED: Powerful Bukedea District Woman MP Anita Annet Among. She is also the Speaker of Parliament
Before she came out to clear the air, her family members were seen on social media diluting LOP Ssenyonyi’s allegations against Speaker Anita Among, saying they are not aware of Asio’s abduction.
Meanwhile in Bukedea, jubilation are still ongoing ever since Speaker Anita was declared unopposed by the Electoral Commission. Bukedea People told us, it would an abomination for anyone to contest against their daughter of the soil, Anita Annet Among.
