Anti-Graft Chief Receives Running Kits as Uganda Prepares for Kabaka Birthday Run
Kampala, Uganda – Brigadier General Henry Isoke, the head of the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, today led staff members in receiving running kits ahead of the upcoming Kabaka Birthday Run. The annual event is scheduled to take place on April 12, 2025, under the theme: “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child against HIV/AIDS.”
The handover ceremony, which took place at the Anti-Corruption Unit’s headquarters, marks the official kickoff of the unit’s participation in the widely anticipated cultural event.
Speaking during the event, Brig Gen Isoke praised the Kabaka of Buganda, His Majesty Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, and his subjects for their unwavering support of government programs. He specifically highlighted the collaborative efforts with the Ministry of Health and the Uganda AIDS Commission, noting that these partnerships are making a lasting impact in the national fight against HIV/AIDS.
“We commend the Kabaka and his subjects for their continued support to government programmes. Through the Ministry of Health and the Uganda AIDS Commission, these efforts are making a lasting impact in advancing the fight against HIV/AIDS,” Brig Gen Isoke said.
Beyond health advocacy, the Brigadier used the platform to call for national integrity. He urged all Ugandans to stand firm against corruption, emphasizing the need for accountability and quality service delivery.
“Together, we must promote accountability, ensure quality service delivery, and reject practices that expose vulnerable populations,” he added.
Gen Isoke also expressed gratitude for the strong partnerships built with the Buganda Kingdom, acknowledging the role of BBS TV and the broader Kingdom institutions in serving the wananchi (citizens).
The event concluded with the Anti-Graft team extending their well-wishes to the King ahead of his birthday.
“We wish Ssabasajja Kabaka a happy 71st birthday. Ssabasajja Kabaka awangaale!” the statement read.
The Kabaka Birthday Run has grown into one of the country’s largest mass participation events, combining cultural celebration with health advocacy. This year’s focus aims to mobilize men in the fight against HIV/AIDS, with a specific emphasis on protecting the girl child.
