How Matovu Charles was robbed to enable First family member Kenan Opio emerge victorious
By 5pm on January 14th this year, the then incumbent Hon. Matovu Charles who was the NUP flag bearer had led across all polling stations and his victory was in sight. However, a last minute phone call from EC chairman Justice Simon Byabakama to Wakiso District returning officer Tolbert Musinguzi changed everything in favor of Kenan Opio, a Munyarwanda native and member of the first family who had just returned from Kitgum where he adopted the disguise name Opio.
Musinguzi just altered the declaration forms in favor of Kenan Opio real name Kenan Nkurunziza Harerimana who was eventually declared at gun point with the SFC taking charge of the Wakiso District tally center

“Joining the rest of well-meaning Ugandans to demand for the urgent release of Counsel Erias Lukwago, whom we understand was today rushed from jail to Mulago Hospital in very critical condition. We owe ourselves a country where no amount of political disagreement is greater than citizens' right to life and human dignity; a country where no citizen is subjected to sham judicial processes just because they oppose those in power! #FreeEriasLukwago #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners” ~@HEBobiwine

@UncleBillz Wht do the ethics and code of conduct of a health worker say ,does it say tht pocketing is a crime & how does someone become a min. of health wth art courses and u publish her as a min. Who wll drive the health gang wth tht disrespect b'se she doesn't knw the value of stdying
@DoreenNyanjura Euthanasia is a crimal offense in medical sector but some people should be sentenced to tht why are ugandan ministers harsh like tht to our health givers ,next givers of life tht https://t.co/fi0pCWfZFu supposed to face euthanasia to see the power of a medic in her life
State Minister Anifa Kawooya’s summary suspension of Dr. Robert Candia for simply "pocketing" is an unacceptable abuse of power. Treating highly trained medical specialists like misbehaving children destroys health worker morale.
The Minister owes the entire medical fraternity an immediate apology. The health sector and the country at large cannot be governed by tantrums.
Rt. Hon. @ObothOboth is doing quite well so far. Two incidents stand out for me:
1. He warned that if the Leader of Opposition @JoelSsenyonyi is again denied access to Lubowa Hospital, he would personally accompany the LOP to see if they would dare block them.
2. Yesterday, he suspended the charcoal ban, arguing as many Ugandans do, that government is yet to provide viable alternatives.
I pray he gives some attention to human rights violations.
What's your view about his performance so far?
The Kawempe Chief Magistrate's Court (sitting in Kanyanya) has adjourned the case involving National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters to November 6, 2026.
Defense Counsel Hon. George Musisi provided the update following today's session. The accused including Deputy Spokesperson Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro, Eddie Sebuufu (Eddie Mutwe), and Achileo Kivumbi remain on remand. They face charges of unlawful drilling and conspiracy to commit a felony.
The legal team continues to push for justice despite previous court decisions rejecting mandatory bail applications
A truly special moment for me today as the Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament invited fellow Members of Parliament to join in wishing me a happy birthday. I am deeply humbled and grateful for this beautiful gesture. Thank you all for the love and warm wishes! 🙏🎂🇺🇬
