Finance Minister Matia Kasaija, signing on behalf of Uganda, described the arrangement as an opportunity to strengthen the country’s…

Someone paid $12 million for icon.com this year. Not for a building, not for land. For a web address. The seller might have made just a few hundred or thousands of dollars to hold this name and made millions just with one sale. This is one of several examples of the potential of having the right domain names in your investment portfolio. Domain names have become serious business. The domains aftermarket, where most domain transactions are processed, recorded $185 million worth of sales in 2024 alone. We’re talking 144,700 individual sales, ranging from four-figure bargains to the Biggest .COM Domain Sales that…

In the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), the race for Speaker of Parliament is usually decided long before Members of Parliament ever cast their votes. This time, however, the outcome appears less settled. Shortly after the Electoral Commission declared President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the winner of the January 2026 presidential election, the NRM’s top decision-making body, the Central Executive Committee (CEC), moved quickly to endorse Anita Annet Among as Speaker and Thomas Tayebwa as Deputy Speaker for the incoming 12th Parliament. But what is normally a routine endorsement has sparked a wave of quiet resistance within the ruling party. Some…

As the world marks International Women’s Day this Sunday, March 8, conversations around women’s leadership, visibility and economic participation are gaining renewed attention. But beyond policies and programmes, one powerful force continues to shape how society understands women’s contributions: storytelling. From media narratives to corporate communications, the stories that are told and amplified influence perceptions of women’s roles in business, leadership, and innovation. We spoke with Clare Tumwesigye, head of marketing and corporate communications at Equity Bank Uganda, about the power of storytelling, the importance of visibility, and why communications professionals must challenge outdated narratives about women in business and…

The second round of the 2025/26 Uganda Premier League (UPL) season gets underway this week, on Thursday, February 12, with all 16 teams in action. This, the match-day 16 will be highlighted by the double header at Nakivubo stadium on Saturday, February 14.

The same would be said about the Bul FC clash with Vipers SC at the Fufa Technical centre in…

Rugby Africa president and World Rugby executive board member, Herbert Mensah has urged Ugandan authorities to reconsider the country’s sporting priorities and channel more resources into rugby development instead of concentrating heavily on football. “You can spend half of the taxpayers’ money on football, but you won’t win the World Cup,” he said. He maintained that with targeted and increased investment, Uganda could achieve quicker progress in rugby than in football. Speaking after the 17th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Rugby Africa at Kabira Country Club in Kampala on Friday, Mensah said countries such as Uganda should emulate South Africa…

The Uganda men’s basketball team now turn their focus to the next round of fixtures in the 2027 Fiba World Cup qualifiers.

On any given afternoon, in classrooms across Uganda and beyond, literature teachers are confronting a quiet but profound shift. The chalkboard is still there. The dog-eared novels still sit on desks. But in students’ pockets, and increasingly in teachers’ lesson plans, lives a new presence: artificial intelligence. In recent years, AI has emerged as what many describe as a “transformative force” in education, particularly in the teaching of literature. Tools such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek AI, Next AI, AI Seek, Gemini and others are now part of the academic vocabulary. Teachers are experimenting with them to make lessons more engaging, more…
