IF A PERSON APPROACHES YOU FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE NEVER HIDE YOUR IDENTITY IF YOU DECIDE TO HELP HIM/HER.
Many times when someone is in a fix to the extent of calling on you
for financial assistance he/she May not be sure that you will bail
him/her in which case he/she May approach many more people to increase
the chances of getting assisted.
If you decide to assist this
person using mobile money, it is important that your identity is clear.
If the person you assisted does not say
thank you, the reason is that he/she tried a number of options and is
now not sure who bailed him, and it becomes difficult for him/her to
start ringing all those he had expected assistance from to find out who
sent the money. So, if you send money to a person and he does not say
thank you, what should get to your mind is that he/she is not sure who
sent the money, so what you have to do is get open tell him/her that you
sent the money and you will definitely get a thank you.
Looks simple but it is an experience in life.

FARE THEE WELL DR. JOSEPH GALIWANGO
WHAT CLASSMATE DR. GEORGE KKOLOKOLO SAID ABOUT DR. JOSEPH GALIWANGO
Brothers, gentlemen and fellow OBs! I think most of you have read in the press the very highly shocking news : the death of our fellow OB, the famous Dr Joseph Galiwango who was found dead in his country home house in Wakiso. Dr Galiwango has for most of the time lived in Ontario Canada where he practiced as a leading paediatrician appreciated by all.Dr Galiwango was an eminent member of Mugwanya House and was an academic giant! He belonged to that very prestigious academic year which in 1964 did marvels in the Cambridge O-Level exams, and this was the fateful road accident year which cost us the 12 great students. In the exams Dr Galiwango got 11 points and was one of the three students who came second to scientsist John Nazareth (Canada) who scored aggregate 9. That same year had, among the very many others, Katikkiro Hon J.B.Walusimbi, Hon J.B. Kawanga of Masaka, Hon Leonard Lubowa ( ex-Mayor of Kla), Prof E. K. Mbidde, Dr G.H. Kkolokolo etc..( as I'm expected to give more detail on them later). In the A-Levels Dr Galiwango was tops in his PCB combination in Uganda, garnering a solid 1BAA3 and Cambridge awarded him with a scholarship to study Medicine in UK. He won good degrees there and became Member of the Royal College of Physicians. He was recruited there and eventually in Canada where he stayed for many years before retiring to Uganda. Dr Galiwango was a very friendly person and had a very high opinion of the Brothers and fellow OBs. Sincere condolences to the family, his wife and their four sons, and all relatives. Condolences as well to the Brothers who knew him so much and to all OBs who now lose a real pillar of their community. May the Good Lord bless his humble soul in His heavenly glory.

DR. LAWRENCE KAGGWA SAYS ...
It is quite sad the loss of one of the most brilliant students
St Mary's has
ever groomed. The little I know about him was that he was the best at
his HSC in the mid 60's( PC
He
did so well he earned himself a scholarship to study
Medicine in Glasgow from where he trans located to Canada. I am told, but I
have never seen him, that he was soft spoken and reserved. Also that he had
come back to follow up on his developments in Kampala.
May his soul rest in eternal peace!

DR. JOE GALIWANGO , WINDSOR PEDIATRICIAN, FOUND DEAD IN UGANDAN HOME.
'His contribution to medicine is beyond just the practice of pediatrics'
CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2016 5:12 PM ET Last Updated: Jun 13, 2016 10:35 AM ET
A former Windsor, Ont., doctor, Joe Galiwango, was found dead in his home in Uganda on June 9. The Uganda Police Force confirmed to CBC News late Sunday that it's investigating how Galiwango died.
Dr. Galiwango was a well-respected pediatrician who practiced for more than 30 years in Windsor before retiring in Uganda.
He co-founded the former neonatal intensive care unit at Grace Hospital in Windsor, and he was also instrumental in helping with the W.E. Care for Kids campaign fundraising, which supports local pediatric health care.
"His contribution to medicine is beyond just the practice of pediatrics," said Dr. Gary Ing, who first met Galiwango as a medical student. "He certainly added to the overall being of the children in our community."
His death came as a surprise to many who knew him well, including Frank Kigozi who was a long-time friend of Galiwango.
"I was very heartbroken," said Kigozi, "He was really a good good man."
Kigozi met Galiwango in 1993 when he moved to Windsor from Uganda. He credits Galiwango for helping him to become more familiar with Canada.
"He encouraged us to take up English because that's the only way we could survive here," said Kigozi. "I am still shocked about his passing. He was a nice guy and a role model to me."
Dr. Ing also says the medical field and those who knew Galiwango are grieving. "He's well-liked by both his colleagues and the patients and their families," said Ing.

IS IT RIGHT FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL IN UGANDA TO USE ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN ITS DELIBERATIONS A PART FROM ENGLISH?
I think it is
unlawful for any local government in Uganda to deliberate in a local language.
This is against the background that minutes of such deliberation MUST be in the
official language which is understood by Government Public Servants who come in
to audit whatever council decided or even the management of financial resources.
HIS MAJESTY KABAKA MUTEBI WEDDING AND OTHER ISSUES
Wedding day
It was the wedding of His Majesty the King of Buganda Ronald
Muwenda Mutebi II which took place at St. Paul Cathedral, Namirembe on August
27, 1999.
This was billed Uganda's wedding of the millennium and by then
the King was 45 years old.
Unlike
political leaders in Uganda, the King commands respect from his subjects in a
traditional cultural setting and he is so much loved by the people to the
extent that normally a month to his visit of any place within his Buganda
kingdom, preparations are started. And the people are always very jolly to see
him in public.
On the occasion of the wedding, Maj. Richard Carr Gomm, king
Mutebi's childhood guardian brought best wishes from Queen Elizabeth and also
from Mutebi's godparents Capt. Ronnie and Mrs Owen.
News that the King was to marry became public knowledge on
February 18 when the Buganda Katikiiro (Prime minister) made the announcement.

We apologise to those who have been inconvenienced in any way. We thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process," Mulwana added.

HOW TO START A BUSINESS IN UGANDA
How to start a Uganda Business
If you're a business traveler to Africa intending to start a Uganda business, this Business Guide will help you in 3 major areas.
- First of all, it will help you familiarize with the standard Uganda government procedures for starting a business.
- Secondly, it will help evaluate how much time it will take to get formal business registration
- And thirdly, it will help you estimate how much it will cost you to fulfill the baseline Company licensing procedures in Uganda.
After you have seen what it takes to register your business, you should be able to determine whether you will hire a Uganda Business Consultant to walk you through the process or you will do it yourself.
When to register your Uganda Business
Whereas you can start and operate a business in Uganda for years without any formal Registration.
I mean, it is not even illegal to operate certain small businesses in Uganda without registration,
But, once your clientele begins to expand, it will become difficult for you to clinch those big deals without a fully registared business.
There are about 18 general procedures you will need to fullfill before you can start a formal business in Uganda.
The procedures can increase or decrease depending on the industry within which your business will be operating.
Here are some of the small business opportunities you can pursue without any registration in Uganda.
Starting your Small business without any registration is prudent when you want to save on your start up resources. But ,my advice is that you should formalize your business upfront, if you hope to reap the benefits of business growth.
Your business will need formal existence in the following circumstances.
- When accessing credit from a financial Institution
- When acquiring raw materials from a serious supplier, and
- When doing business with the Government of Uganda.
Where to Register your Uganda Business
- Registration with a Locality, Village or Market: Is suitable for Micro Businesses.
- Registration with the District Authorities: Is suitable for Bigger businesses localized in a particular District.
- Registration with the Registrar of Companies: Is suitable if your business will operate across the country.
| Tip
Because you will incur reasonable costs, in terms of time and Money, while processing your business registration, you need to follow the procedure that matches the size of your planned Uganda business.
