Young people in Uganda are over advised and greatly underfunded!

In a district where high levels of corruption for a longer period are found, the heads of the agencies responsible for fighting corruption in that particular district must be interdicted & investigated. These include, Regional officers responsible for IGG, RSA, CI, CID, Auditor General & ISO.

.@OfwonoOpondo: The silence you see in the country is so loud that it is not silence anymore. Nobody wants to talk about it (the Dr Kizza Besigye case).

Those who dare, you have seen how they have been handled. It is a very unfortunate situation.

The US State Department said its use of a map that incorrectly labeled all the countries it identified on a map of Africa at an international conference this week was “an unfortunate error.” https://t.co/RdLdzMIf3O

@AKasingye Thank you Sir, many will be beneficiaries of your fight. My view is that authorship needs legal protection.

It’s not easy. I took two years writing that book. I paid a lot of money to publish and print it. I haven’t even gotten what I paid. When I take it to bookstores, some sell the book and keep all the money. This is so bad. I will save the other writers by laying bare the stores that cheated me.

#UnpopularOpinion #814. Civilians who hang at police stations daily, should be investigated, chased or arrested. Many unsuspecting members of the public have fallen prey to them. They are either middlemen to corrupt officers, siphon money promising to track phones or to secure police bond. Fagia tu!@PoliceUg

@AKasingye I THINK you are required to be at the airport 3 hrs before your flight. That places you in the “non-cleaning” time zone!

Safe flight, Sir.

[Buregyeya Apollo, PhD @ApolloBuregyeya]

One of the most encouraging developments in Uganda's new Parliament is it's growing recognition that effective oversight requires technical competence.

Modern governments manage increasingly complex systems. Roads, bridges, railways, airports, electricity networks, water infrastructure, mining projects and digital systems cannot be scrutinised effectively through political instinct alone. They must be examined through evidence, engineering, economics, law and science.

When Parliament asks why a road alignment changed, why construction commenced before a final design, why project costs increased or why a dam is underperforming, the answers are rarely found in political speeches. They are found in drawings, specifications, geotechnical reports, laboratory results, contracts, financial models and performance data.

That is why the Speaker's direction to align committee assignments more closely with Members' professional expertise deserves recognition. It is an institutional reform that strengthens Parliament without diminishing its democratic character.

Today's discussion on the Busega–Mpigi Expressway illustrated this principle well. Parliament did not simply debate opinions. It demanded the contract documents and design drawings. That is exactly how technical oversight should work.

It was equally encouraging to see experienced professionals such as @ssebbugakimeze contributing to the discussion. Individuals who have designed, managed or regulated major infrastructure bring valuable institutional memory and practical insight. Their role is not to shield projects from scrutiny, but to ensure that scrutiny reaches the right technical questions.

This is also an opportunity for Parliament to deepen collaboration with Uganda's professional institutions. Engineers @UIPE_Uganda , @ARBUganda, @SurveyorsofUG , geologists, accountants, economists, @ug_lawsociety, medical professionals and universities represent national reservoirs of knowledge that can support evidence-based legislation and oversight.

Politics determines what a nation wants to achieve. Professional expertise helps determine whether it is actually being achieved.

Uganda's democracy will be stronger when Parliament combines democratic legitimacy with technical competence. The two are not competitors. They are partners in building better public institutions and better public investment.

As you fight corruption @BalaamBarugahar, I know you depend mainly on accounts of big people in offices & politicians at different levels. You may not also be privy to intelligence reports that have been sent to those with privileged information. However, remember to use “invisible people”. The corrupt usually forget, that the invisible people see everything. These include, the cleaners, tea girls, drivers, escorts, registry staff, errand boys, accounts register keepers, etc. Those in big offices are partners in crime or eye same positions to have their time to “eat”. Check your shoulders!

Kabushenga’s Thoughts

A Coffee Marketing Conundrum

Folks: Kabushenga, have you seen the new Rwanda coffee campaign with Aston Villa FC?

Me:(rushes to check on social media) Yes

Folks: What do you think?

Me: See below

I have talked about this a lot in the last couple of weeks. I described in detail what has been done to position Uganda’s coffee in the world market. I return to it because of yet another significant step has been to take Ugandan coffee to the market. If in Brussels we put our best foot forward, in 2027 we are going to show off in Kampala. At Speke Resort on Tuesday July 14th evening everyone who is anyone in the Ugandan coffee sector turned up for the launch of the 23rd African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition and the 4th African Coffee Week organised by the Coffee Production Department of @MAAIF_Uganda and @fine_coffees. It will happen between February 17-19th and bring over 1000 international coffee players. Proverbially, the mountain is coming to Mohamed. This is validation of Uganda as a coffee origin on a grand scale.

Why is this important? Because it builds on the recent positioning of Uganda by MAAIF as a reliable origin of high quality coffees and consistently significant quantities. We are now the largest African exporter making US$2.5 bn in the process. MAAIF has published the geographical profiles of the different coffees produced in Uganda. This is compelling market information. And now as a sector, we also have a national brand identity. It is a mark of quality.

The plan, as Hon. @DesireMuhooza , Agriculture State Minister explained her speech at the launch, is to reimagine Robusta Coffee which originates from Kibaale National Park in Western Uganda. It is a forest crop as distinct from Arabica which is referred to as a garden crop. Over 80% of our coffee production and exports is robusta. Until now, it has disappeared in other people’s coffees as a blender to improve their taste because it is a premium variety. But it was deliberately undersold to make it cheap. It is why it has never found its own identity in the consumer market. That will change. At the conference we will be talking about fine robusta and how to position it to final consumers.

There is another reason why I have faith in the plans. The Chairman of AFCA is Jeremy Mpalampa AKA @jempa10 one of the finest Ugandan minds in international coffee markets who runs Kyagalanyi Coffee, a leading exporter. The organising committee is headed by @KBarigye, the man who recently sold a microlot of his @mtnharvestug Rwenzori Arabica Coffee for a whopping $350 per kilo. A combined effort of these guys and the @UgandaCoffee_ team, it will work. Let me just finish by saying that our next challenge as coffee people will be to meet demand. The market is now aware of what we have.

I am sure you know that inline there are many ways to get attention. You don’t have to do what your neighbour does, just do it your own authentic way. The key is to act and finally there is action in the right direction. Take heart.
