After consultations within the party, I have decided to withdraw my interest in contesting for the position of Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament of Uganda.
My initial expression of interest came at a time when many leaders and members within the party believed that the position of Deputy Speaker could once again be occupied by a woman, especially considering Uganda’s history of balancing the leadership of Parliament. I was therefore humbled and encouraged by the support and confidence shown in me by many colleagues and well wishers.
However, after further engagements and reflection, it became clear that one of the major challenges experienced in the 11th Parliament was the issue of institutional memory, where both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker assumed leadership while relatively new to their respective positions at the same time. As a result, many leaders emphasised the importance of continuity and experience within the leadership of Parliament moving into the 12th Parliament.
I therefore fully support Rt. Hon. @Thomas_Tayebwa for the position of Deputy Speaker. Having worked closely with him, I have witnessed his dedication, capability, and commitment to serving both Parliament and the people of Uganda. He has done an incredible job in the office and deserves continued support.
I am also aware of concerns that may a raise regarding the possibility of both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker being male at the same time. However, Uganda has previously had both positions occupied by men simultaneously, including during the leadership period of Rt. Hon. James Wapakhabulo and Rt. Hon. Francis Ayume. Therefore, at this particular moment, the focus should remain on competence, continuity, unity, and the strengthening of Parliament as an institution.
I sincerely thank all those who supported my interest and remain committed to serving Uganda with dedication and patriotism.
I also extend my appreciation to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni and Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba @mkainerugaba and all other prominent leaders for their continued guidance and commitment to unity and stability within our movement and country.
God bless Uganda.
"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
It was a privilege for me to share Uganda’s experience in the investigation and prosecution of wildlife crime at the Operation Thunder 2025 post-operational debriefing and analysis meeting organised by @Interpol, @WCO_OMD, and Qatar Customs in Doha, Qatar.

Comrades,
NATIONAL CONSULTATIONS FOR UGANDA BAR PRESIDENCY
The Ugandan Bar is bound in judicial, economic, and political chains. Justice, a
cornerstone of civilised society, lies on its deathbed. It has become a privilege for the few, rather than a right for all. It is a preserve of those who can bully or bribe the system.
So, speaking truth to power is no longer just brave; it is perilous. That is why
Uganda Law Society (ULS) needs a steady hand on the ground. A tested, calm and battle-hardened warrior for justice.
I have braved the fire of political persecution and military torture. Threats against my life, economic pressures, and attempts to break me through imprisonment have not bent my resolve. The high walls and thick prison doors have not silenced me.
I personify the leadership ULS and Uganda demands as we stare down a national election season replete with human rights abuses. ULS leadership must respond firmly, swiftly and with integrity.
That is why I have embarked on a refreshing, participatory and didactic country-wide tour of Uganda to consult members of ULS as I seek to be the next ULS president in light of the imminent end of the tenure of the current ULS council (executive) on 27th September 2025.
I have been an indefatigable defender of lawyers’ welfare, young lawyers’ rights,
human dignity, women rights, the rule of law, social justice, Bar autonomy, judicial
autonomy, public interest and the rights of the oppressed. I have stood for ––and I
continue to defend––lawyers, journalists, writers, farmers, women, youth, detainees, evictees and other vulnerable voices.
Expect a robust, dignified and unrelenting defence of our rights and the public
interest as, together, we unchain the bar from the regulatory, judicial, political and
economic chains that continue to steal our dreams, damn our efforts and dash our hopes.
Dated at Kasese this Tuesday, 9th September 2025.
Dr. Rosaline Karugonjo Segawa inspired the freshmen with her message on “Getting saved from a crooked generation” (Acts 2:40). She encouraged students to make wise decisions, listen to their lecturers and parents, focus on God, and live with integrity.

I am thrilled to be part of the National Dialogue on promoting the rights of persons with mental illness in Uganda’s criminal justice system. Thank you @PRIinAfrica for enabling this important discussion.
@DailyMonitor .....and how many Ugandans have lost jobs because of this? Wouldn't a cash penalty have better served all parties? I think we can do better as a country. @KagutaMuseveni please intervene
