Mr. Mugisa, who has previously served as the chairman KCCA lands board- has shown interest in the seat. So, he will be tussling it out with three opponents.

They are; Moses Kataabu (People Power), a one Kyambadde who will stand on FDC ticket and the incumbent Charles Musoke Sserunjoji, an NRM leaning.

Mugisa is expected to win the party internal polls (primaries) later this year since he has endorsement of the NRM elders.

Mr. Mugisa, who has been a strong movement supporter for over twenty years, further revealed his robust strategy to improve sanitation and hygiene in slams. The master plan is “a clean city.”

One of the major areas he will focus on is markets like St. Balikuddembe and Nakasero which he intends to to improve into world class standards.

“The markets in the CDB need great improvement. They are very strategic and critical in the development of any city around the world. As such we must prioritize our markets such as Owino, Kamwokya, Nakasero and many others,” Mr. Mugisa further said.

He also hinted on plans to fight crime in the city among other projects. He also plans to find a way to improve the city’s drainage system.

Flavia Nabaasa (R) hands over of a cooler to one of the beneficiaries during a ceremony held at UMA show grounds on Thursday.

By Our Reporter

Coca-Cola Beverages Africa in Uganda has handed over coolers to women to enable them start businesses in the retail category. This is part of a bigger Coca-Cola initiative called 5 by 20.

5 by 20 is the Coca-Cola Company’s global commitment to enable the economic empowerment of 5 Million Women entrepreneurs across the Company’s value chain by the year 2020.

According to Flavia Nabaasa, the Business Development & Commercialization Director CCBA in Uganda, the company is well on track to delivering on their global commitment.

“We had a target of empowering 35,000 women in Uganda by the year 2020,” Flavia Nabaasa told media during the cooler handover ceremony held at UMA show grounds on Thursday. “We have so far empowered 33,000 women and are certain to deliver on our global commitment by the end of the year.”

In Uganda, women usually face several challenges when doing business such as lack of basic business skills, lack of financial services / assets and lack of access to peer to peer networks and mentorship among others.

Through the 5 by 20 initiative, women are also offered access to business skills training and connections with peers and company sales executives who are always at hand to offer continuous monitoring of the business which helps in offering the much-needed foundation for building a successful business.

“We believe there is no better investment than women to spur economic growth and foster sustainable development. Women reinvest 90% of their income in their family and community, so by supporting women, we are building sustainable communities through this ripple effect.” Flavia Nabaasa added.

The event was also graced by madam Joyce Kizza, one of the successful Coca-cola distributors  who lauded the women for embracing business and encouraged them to continue working hard. She also tipped them on how to run a successful business saying they should always treat their employees as well a customers with respect and always be honest in their dealings.

Meanwhile, the company has this year so far received 1851 coolers which are being issued to customers across the country with women in the retail category being the beneficiaries of this process. The women are also given startup stock to go along with the coolers.

Traversing all regions of Uganda and reaching a total of 24 towns to spread cheer, the campaign held exciting engagements reaching 60,000 customers, 9,000 of whom could not hold back their joy at going home with branded merchandise, fuel vouchers and home grocery packs.

Bebe Cool has revealed plans to retire from active music after 2021. The revelation was made recently while Bebe Cool was meeting some friends at his palatial residence in Kiwatule. According to those who were privy to the conversations, Bebe Cool is looking to evolve into a music producer running his own record label and grooming new artistes.
“I can’t be jumping on stages, pulling off strokes after 45 years. I want to invest my next life into something that sticks for generations. People will still listen to my music when I am gone. But that’s a small part of the legacy. The best legacy is made through people. I want to be remembered through people. So I will dedicate myself to nurturing the next generation of talent,” Bebe Cool kept telling friends.

After 2021, Bebe Cool plans to purchase some huge piece of land on which he will construct his music academy. It will have hotel like rooms where musicians can come and spend months working on quality music. It will force self-discipline on them. Imagine someone signing up for this academy, spending months working on their album and only coming out when they are satisfied with the results. This is where the next Fela Kutis will be made.

“People should enjoy these few years that I am giving them. I am basically left with two years of an active Bebe Cool. People should treat these two years with extra care. Because after these two years, you will see a new Bebe Cool, this Bebe Cool will be seen through his products, the musicians he will have groomed,” he signed off.

To effectively reach this footprint, we need a greater understanding of how each country operates and what better way to do so than partnering with brands that have that knowledge.  Although the experience will be the same across the board, we acknowledge that each country has their own unique way of operating and we celebrate the melting pot of cultures coming together through a sport that we all love – football.” added Mathabire at the campaign media launch event in Lagos, Nigeria.
