LOP @JoelSsenyonyi urges government to expedite the release of the report on the deaths of four pupils who reportedly died of suspected poisoning at Taaliim Primary School in Kikulu Zone, Kikaaya Parish, Kawempe Division. He reminds Parliament of similar incidents whose investigation reports have never been made public, including the 2008 Buddo Junior School fire tragedy.
LOP @JoelSsenyonyi highlights the double standards in the proposed Administration of Parliament Bill, saying that if its intention is to strengthen democracy as claimed by the mover, it should also include the NRM electing their leadership in Parliament as proposed to the opposition, to balance issues.
LOP @JoelSsenyonyi highlights the legal concerns surrounding the proposed waiver of tax arrears for Kilembe Mines without Parliament’s approval. He also questions the 1.8 billion tax waiver for K-Roma Limited, an amount nearly twice what the company paid in taxes over 16 financial years.

LOP @JoelSsenyonyi speaks out against the rampant power outages crippling businesses and hurting the economy.

Asio Dorothy, of @Resistance_Ug, is on Day four of her hunger strike at Luzira Maximum Security Prison after being denied mandatory bail, following 66 days in detention.
She refuses to eat until justice is served—not only for herself but for all prisoners of conscience arbitrarily detained for speaking out against the Ugandan government.
Silencing dissent is not justice. Freedom is not a crime!

LOP @JoelSsenyonyi expresses dissatisfaction with the Government’s statement on security incidents in various parts of the country and the measures taken to address them. He notes that the statement failed to adequately address gross human rights violations, particularly abductions, with many victims still missing or held in ungazetted detention facilities.
