Very honored to be named African personality of the year 2018 by #Africanews.
This is very humbling, considering that I was nominated alongside some of the most respected leaders on the continent.
I dedicate this award to all who struggle for freedom in Uganda. Nothing would be possible without your effort and sacrifice.
We strive each day to make a contribution in every way we can, and it is very good to know that our contribution is appreciated by many at home and abroad.
This recognition only encourages us to do more until we accomplish the mission to make Uganda and Africa better for us and our children.
