About Robinah Nabbanja
Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has been active in commissioning infrastructure projects and defending government policy in Parliament. On June 13, 2026, she commissioned the construction of three health facilities in the Bunyoro sub-region—including an accident and emergency ward at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital, an upgrade of Masindi General Hospital, and the upgrade of Buseruka Health Centre III to Health Centre IV—as part of preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027. She stated that the government is investing 545 billion Ugandan shillings in Bunyoro for AFCON readiness, and urged residents to take advantage of the opportunity for economic benefit. Earlier, on June 10, Nabbanja engaged in a heated exchange in Parliament with Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi over medical intern facilitation and the case of a missing person. She attributed the policy to facilitate interns to President Museveni and the NRM, stating, "It is the president who directed the ministry of health to put money so that interns can be facilitated."
Nabbanja was reappointed as Prime Minister for the 2026–2031 term, which was approved by Parliament on May 28, 2026. In her acceptance speech, she thanked President Museveni for the trust and outlined government priorities under the National Development Plan 4 and the NRM manifesto, including wealth creation, agro-industrialization, tourism, mineral development, and science and technology. She pledged a "no corruption, no more asleep" term of office. In earlier remarks on May 14, she reflected on her five-year tenure, stating that the government had fulfilled 88% of its manifesto commitments, and defended her receipt of 500 iron sheets for her constituency during the Karamoja relief distribution controversy, saying she distributed them to vulnerable people. She also warned Kampala residents to stop dumping rubbish in drainage channels and said businesses in basement areas should vacate, as such spaces are meant for parking.

During the upgrade, three facilities will be established here. One, a theater. Two, a general ward. And three, an outpatient department.
According to Engineer George Otim, Commissioner Health Infrastructure in the Ministry of Health, this Health Centre IV will later be converted into a community hospital, and the community will no longer need to seek treatment from Hoima Regional Referral Hospital.

It is an honor for me to officially launch the expansion, habitation, and equipping of Hoima Regional Referral Hospital so that we can host AFCON 2027. Hoima Regional Referral Hospital is being refurbished and rehabilitated and we are having new structures here. And this is going to be constructed by UPDF Engineers Brigade and I'm doing this on behalf of the president. It is an honor for me to officially launch the construction of Masindi Hospital. Upgrade of Buseruka Health Center 3, Hoima Regional Referral Hospital and Masindi Hospital: 91 billion. Upgrade of King George Stadium in Masindi: 20 billion and 20.2 billion. In total, the government of Uganda is going to invest 545 billion Ugandan shillings in Bunyoro to get the country ready to host AFCON in 2027. I want you to remember that this figure does not include 130 US dollars, that is 487 billion invested in the establishment of Hoima City Stadium. To the people of Bunyoro, 16th of June 2027 will be the official opening ceremony of AFCON 2027. We have 1 year to go. For that purpose, Muzah said this Kisanga is Kisanga no what? And I'm happy the Majegere who knows Kisanga no sleep is the leader of government business. If we don't have MRI here, we do not qualify as a must. Whether we are going to build it as long as it's not there, forget.
It is my honor to officially launch the construction of Hoima Boma AFCON training facility for God and my country.
