Yesterday morning, my mother, my anchor, and my best friend went to be with her Maker and her best friend, Jesus Christ. Through her life, and even now in her death, I have seen the faithfulness of God.

Her life motto was: “Seek Him first, and you will have nothing else to fear. Make His service your delight, and all your wants shall be His care!”

Thank You, God, for fulfilling this promise throughout her 85 years of life and for taking her home peacefully in her sleep.

Thank you, beloved people of God, our friends and relatives, for standing with us during this difficult time. I am humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love you have shown our family since yesterday morning.

May God bless you all beyond human imagination, and may Mum’s soul rest in eternal peace!

I thank EY Uganda for organising and inviting all key stakeholders for their Inaugural Tax Retreat 2026. At the retreat, I reiterated our ambition to grow Uganda’s tax-to-GDP ratio to at least 20% by the year 2030.

Achieving this goal will require collective action, stronger partnerships and a shared commitment from all stakeholders to build a sustainable and resilient revenue base that supports Uganda’s development.

I wish all the participants an open and fruitful dialogue over the next 3 days of the retreat.

Yesterday, I met with officials from the African Development Bank.
We discussed a number of areas where the bank can support URA to strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation.

Congratulations, Captain Rita Nasirumbi!
Your achievement is a proud moment for Uganda and an inspiration to young girls to dream big, break barriers and pursue excellence.
May your journey continue to open doors for generations to come.
