Uganda’s attention economy is creating millionaires but bankrupting public decency. We have reached an era where a million views can buy political patronage but cannot buy basic human manners. Look no further than the guest list at "Jazz With Jjaja" 2nd edition to see why common sense is dying.

​I am saddened. The outrage over a media personality objectifying the grieving widow of the late Sydney Gongodyo on TikTok is entirely justified. But let's stop acting surprised. This is the inevitable result of a political system that rewards shock value over substance, producing digital mercenaries with millions of followers but zero empathy.

​The real tragedy is the state validation that follows. When reckless clout-chasers are granted exclusive access to power and handed 5 Billion UGX in tax-free SACCO funds, the incentive structure is clear: be loud, be irresponsible, and you will be rewarded.

​In a political system that exchanges credibility for digital noise, traditional leadership rules no longer apply. Given today's landscape of erratic public appointments, it would surprise no one if a digital clown (like the one you know already) is named to a high-stakes government position next. When a society replaces merit with metrics and conscience with clout, common sense gets priced out of the market.

This guy was a prefect during his time, and a brilliant guy. I remember how he got 25 points at A level after struggling at O level and how that not only inspired us who were a year below him.

HM House lost an amazing man! So sad to see him go at just 50.

Journey well, Dennis

State:
My Lord, the surities are all unemployed.

Defense Counsel:
My Lord, that's more advantageous because they will dedicate their time to making sure the accused attends court on the scheduled 📅 dates.

I'm SAD😔
Men’s Day never gets the same hype, yet men carry so much. “Hard guys” on the outside but deeply human inside. They face pressure, heartbreak, even GBV, and still show up. To all the gentle, kind men/boys, I honour you, I appreciate you. In fact, I love you 🙏

As disasters become more common and severe, pressure on agriculture and food security is increasing. In addition to highlighting gaps in current impact assessments, particularly for vulnerable groups, the report demonstrates how these events disrupt markets, livestock, crops, and fisheries.

Additionally, it emphasizes how digital tools, from mobile advisories and predictive analytics to satellites and artificial intelligence, are changing disaster risk management by facilitating early warnings and preventative measures. However, it emphasizes that in order to guarantee that smallholder farmers and communities at risk actually benefit, technology must be combined with robust institutions, encouraging laws, and inclusive design.

The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, CIArb, has for over a century, stood as the guardian of civility amid conflict, the custodian of dialogue amid dispute, and the architect of order in a restless world.

In every corner of the globe, from London to Lagos, from Nairobi to Kampala, CIArb has nurtured men and women who remind us that the measure of justice is not only in verdicts delivered, but in quarrels resolved with fairness, patience, and skill.

And this week, we are honoured to host one of its finest stewards, Mr. David Kaggwa, Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Uganda Chapter. An international arbitrator, adjudicator, and construction lawyer of rare distinction, Mr. Kaggwa has spent over twenty years resolving complex commercial, infrastructure, and construction disputes across Africa and beyond.

He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, a Fellow of the Institute of Construction Claims Practitioners, a Fellow of the Construction Law Institute, and a member of the Dispute Resolution Board Foundation and the Society of Construction Law.
He serves as Senior Partner at Kaggwa and Kaggwa Advocates, Founder of the Construction Law Institute, and Visiting Trainer of Construction Law at the University of Botswana and the Law Development Centre.

Holding a Master of Laws in Construction Law and Arbitration from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, he embodies the creed of CIArb that justice, when delivered through dialogue, is not a compromise but a triumph of reason.

He joins us this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. as we navigate new frontiers under the theme, “Arbitration in Africa’s Evolving Landscape.”

So let us welcome with respect, admiration, and hope, Mr. David Kaggwa, FCIArb, a torchbearer of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
