There's pain, then there's watching women and other equally oppressed people being tools of impunity, breaking their backs to abuse the law, twist and twirl to maintain a system that doesnt rate them beyond servitude.
Kitalo!!!
September 1995:
Hon. Miria Matembe, among other outstanding women, celebrating the new Constitution, whose drafting she had been part of, including a strong Bill of Rights in Chapter 4.
Now, at 73 years, she has to helplessly plead like a child in tears before a young magistrate, for things as basic as respecting her right to health and fair hearing! Spending the night in jail with her raw disregarded pain, I can’t imagine what is running through her mind as she flashes back!
Uganda versus Miria Matembe? I am not among those Ugandans on whose behalf you claim to be pressing charges against Hon. Miria Matembe. I hold her in the highest respect.

I feel ashamed, and I wonder how shameless one must be to stoop so low and targets a respected senior women’s champion like Hon. Miria Matembe. This is very wrong by any standard.

I don’t know what is more concerning. That the regulator tweeted about a shutdown not sanctioned by them? That the tweet came at 5:00 PM over an incident that happened at 1:00 AM? That the Military Chief declared only he could sanction reopening the media houses? That a public order to arrest media lead @SueNsibirwa came via X? That the CDF actually believes the press should be 'guided by cadres of the revolution,' or that the Head of State (the last known one, at least) allows all this to happen in silence?
How will this be recorded in the history our children’s children read? 🤔 or maybe the ‘writers of history’ will pretend none of it happened!
