Despite being a small fraction of the population, older persons' health challenges have continued to be neglected. @AchakKay of @KMA_Attorneys reflects on why the government should prioritize the health needs of this vulnerable group, amidst the pandemic.

And every health worker whose name is not written here, but whose sacrifice Uganda must never forget.

This Heroes Day, we bow in honour of those who gave their lives in the line of duty, shielding our people from Ebola, Covid 19, and other deadly diseases.

Because they stood in danger, many still live. Families survived. Communities endured. Uganda still stands.

To the fallen, we remember you with gratitude.
To those still serving, healing, risking, and answering duty’s call, we offer our deepest salute.

May this day remind us that health service is sacred work, often carried by ordinary people who choose extraordinary courage.

Uganda lives because some gave everything, and others still do.

[Denis Duke Woniala🇺🇬 @DenisDukeUG]

The Late Aggrey Awori sets such a good example that I think the university don and would be interior minister Dr Lawrence Muganga ought to emulate.

Born on the Uganda - Kenyan Boarder, Aggrey DECIDED to live all his life as Ugandan while his siblings chose kenya as their country.

At one point, we had the two Awori brothers in powerful positions in both countries, one being a Minister while the Kenyan one being a Vice President.

But not a single day did we ever doubt Aggrey for not being Ugandan. Reason; Because he made his decisions very clear to the whole world. At some point Aggrey was a presidential candidate who ran against President Museveni and came third.

While someone would argue that his other siblings were born in Kenyan towns, it’s also true they could have chosen to be Ugandans and no one would have disputed that.

Ugandans are very peaceful people. We’ve been through a lot that we don’t care anymore where someone is coming from. As long as you’re a good person we are good to go.

This explains why we mix so well with refugees who’ve been thronging into the country in recent times. As a matter of fact, Ugandan people are rank high amongst most hospitable people in the world.

These issues being raised by a section of people are only a deliberate move by a section of goons who want to take Uganda back to colonial times. And fortunately that won’t happen because we are now grown and understand things.

What a parting shot from the inimitable erudite Lord Justice Fredrick Egonda Ntende, the Chief Justice Uganda never had! All “chitijens”must listen. Justice must have compassion. Justice must have a soul!

[Silver Kayondo @SilverKayondo]

A happy retirement to Justice FMS Egonda-Ntende. From Uganda to Seychelles, excellence shone bright like a diamond. Commercial justice won, and appellate jurisprudence was shaped. The highest promotion is doing one's job with such rare dedication & integrity. You achieved it all.

[Kay Carol Achak @AchakKay]

@SilverKayondo As far back as 2009, Hon. Justice Egonda was already serving as an acting Judge of the Supreme Court of Uganda. 17 years down the road, he is retiring while still at the Court of Appeal. Perhaps, transparency in Judicial promotions in our Country is a long over due conversation.

In 2022, my BBC team and I were travelling across the continent to popularise my podcast, Africa Daily, when we met Samuel and Esteri Tebandeke.

Ester was battling kidney failure and was being treated by the excellent team at Mulago Hospital.

What a powerful story of love it turned out to be.

Ester needed a kidney transplant, and Sam offered to donate his.

I teared up during the interview because of Sam’s deep commitment to his wife.

I saw their quiet determination to ensure that Esteri — an accomplished actor who had appeared in the acclaimed film Queen of Katwe — would pull through.

He loved her. She loved and deeply appreciated him.

They had raised half the money they needed and were struggling to find the rest — about $40,000.

I promised I would mention their case to President Museveni, whom I was due to meet a few days later.

When I met Mzee, I told him about them. Without hesitation, he instructed his then PPS, Kenneth Omona, to ensure Esther received the money she needed.

The cash was delivered. They travelled to India for the operation, and at first it seemed everything had gone well.

I stayed in touch with them, regularly checking on Esteri’s progress.

Yesterday, Sam sent me a voice note to say that his Esteri had passed away.

I am gutted.

Esteri was young, beautiful, and immensely talented. I wish she had lived much longer.

May she now rest peacefully after such a difficult few years.

I pray for Sam — one of the greatest men I have ever met.

May God grant him, and Ester’s family and friends, the fortitude they need to navigate these painful times.

This was honourable of Mr Nalukoola and silly of the guy who lowered his window and threw the plastic bag down. I liked how he swallowed his pride by lowering his window again to receive his trash delivered to him by a civilised and concerned citizen.
Please never hesitate to shame such fools.

Growing old in Africa is hard. Its aging population is growing faster than its infrastructure. Seniors face neglect. Physical changes like bladder urgency and chronic illness make accessible toilets a necessity, yet their absence creates a major barrier to public participation.
