NLGRB Urges NALI Participants in Kyankwanzi to Promote Responsible Gaming
The National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board (NLGRB) urged participants at the NALI retreat to serve as responsible gaming ambassadors within their institutions and local communities.
Denis Mudene, CEO of the NLGRB, joined fellow chief executive officers of Ugandan public-sector institutions and board chairpersons at a five-day retreat that began on 27 September 2026 at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi.
Convened under the theme “From Governance to Impact,” the event brought together 140 public-sector leaders representing 88 state institutions, including regulatory authorities, public universities, referral hospitals, commercial banks, and key government agencies.
The gathering provided a platform for senior executives to consider how governance, execution, and accountability could be better aligned across public entities. Its overarching aim was to move beyond foundational oversight and ensure that administrative processes delivered tangible results for national development.
At the retreat, Mudene highlighted the NLGRB’s mandate and championed a well-regulated, responsible, and sustainable gaming sector. As public-sector executives discussed operational constraints and practical strategies for improving service delivery, he brought community welfare and gaming oversight to the forefront of the leadership agenda.

Mudene urged public-sector executives to support the NLGRB’s efforts to promote safer gaming practices nationwide, protect vulnerable people from gaming-related harm, and raise public awareness of responsible participation in gaming.
A central focus of the discussions at NALI was identifying the operational constraints that impeded public-sector service delivery. Sector leaders discussed strategic priorities for their organisations and committed to practical, actionable strategies for translating institutional goals into clear, measurable outcomes.
Mudene emphasised that establishing a transparent, well-regulated gaming sector required active cooperation among government agencies. He said that combining rigorous regulatory oversight with cross-government collaboration could help advance Uganda’s overarching 10X, US$500 billion economic agenda while delivering the meaningful impact expected by the public.
