Hon. Tomio Okamura, Speaker of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, has named a newborn mountain gorilla \u201cTom\u00e1\u0161\u201d during his visit to Uganda. He called the name a symbol of friendship between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okamura proposed the name while trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in south-western Uganda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was joined by Uganda\u2019s Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okamura said the name reflected his Czech identity and the relationship he hopes to build between the two nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSomething like Tom\u00e1\u0161,\u201d Okamura said when Tayebwa asked him to propose a name for the newborn gorilla. Tomio is a Japanese name. Tom\u00e1\u0161 is Czech. In English, it becomes Thomas, which is also Tayebwa\u2019s Christian name.<br \/>Okamura said the name will remind him of his visit for years to come and stand as a symbol of friendship between Uganda and the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt should be a start, or a sign, of our friendship and help build our relations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1068x712.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-630x420.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7.jpeg 1080w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1024x683.jpeg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-1068x712.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7-630x420.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f0b21ad7-401f-405b-a04d-84597577c0c7.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that gorilla tracking never gets old for him, no matter how many times he does it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor me, it always feels like the first time whenever I come here,\u201d Tayebwa said. This was one of many visits for him. \u201cEvery time I come, the experience feels new because we are interacting with our cousins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching the gorillas, he said, including how they care for a young baby, reminded him why conservation matters. \u201cWe learn a lot from them. But every day, they give you a reason to protect nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tayebwa also used the moment to push Ugandans to see their own country before travelling abroad.<br \/>\u201cI urge Ugandans to come here and tour our country,\u201d he said. \u201cI see very many going to Dubai. Going where? First, come and see the beauty of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed out that Ugandan citizens pay far less than foreign tourists for gorilla trekking permits, calling it a chance for more locals to experience one of the country\u2019s biggest tourism draws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tayebwa said Uganda plans to use upcoming international events to sell its tourism potential to the world. He mentioned Uganda\u2019s expected hosting of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS)\u2013European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly next year, which is set to bring over 500 delegates from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tayebwa is OACPS president and co-president of the OACPS\u2013EU assembly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe hope to host the EU-Africa-Caribbean-Pacific Parliament next year in Uganda, where we will be having over 500 delegates from all over Europe and the rest of the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1068x712.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-630x420.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be.jpeg 1080w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1024x683.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-1068x712.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be-630x420.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/ubc.go.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/82dc732e-a829-4b70-a812-31105b0967be.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tayebwa thanked Uganda\u2019s embassy in Germany, particularly Ambassador Steven Mubiru and his team, for organising Okamura\u2019s trip.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Mugoya Rt.
