Dear His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,
I hope this message finds you in good health.
My name is Johnpaul Arigumaho, a dedicated educator, researcher, and author specializing in Kiswahili language and literature.
I am writing to you with great respect for your leadership and the remarkable progress Uganda has made under your stewardship, especially in the areas of social, economic, and political development.
One area I believe holds significant potential for further advancing Uganda’s development is the promotion and elevation of Kiswahili as a key language of communication. As an official language of the East African Community, Kiswahili plays an integral role in regional integration, trade, diplomacy, and socio-economic empowerment.
Its wider adoption in Uganda will open numerous doors for Ugandans in the region, foster stronger relationships with our East African neighbors, and unlock a wealth of economic and cultural opportunities.
Given your esteemed position as the head of state, I would be honored to discuss ways in which we can work together to enhance Kiswahili’s visibility and integration across Uganda.
Through national programs, educational initiatives, and media platforms, we can equip Ugandans with the tools to access opportunities in regional markets, improve inter-country relations, and participate more fully in the African continental movement.
I would be deeply appreciative of an opportunity to meet and discuss how we can take this initiative forward at your convenience. I remain hopeful that, under your leadership, Kiswahili can play a pivotal role in shaping Uganda’s future and its place within the East African Community.
Thank you for considering this important cause.
Best regards,
Johnpaul Arigumaho
