Attorney General, Hon. @KiryowaKk has called for the withdrawal of the National Legal Aid Bill, 2022, before it lapses with the 11th Parliament.
Kiryowa assured the House that government is taking full responsibility of the bill and will harmonise with the Ministry of Finance and the mover to have it reintroduced in the 12th Parliament.
The mover of the bill, Hon. Silas Aogon tasked government to ensure that the bill is reinstated within the first session of the 12th Parliament. House, however, stood over the motion for withdrawal. #PlenaryUg
Dr. Ijeoma Akunyili, the daughter of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili, has been appointed Chief Medical Officer of Jersey City Medical Center, USA.
She becomes the first Black physician to lead the hospital since its founding in 1882.
Let's retweet to celebrate her! 🙏
“His shift ended 16 hours ago. He's still here, sleeping on the hospital floor—because he made a promise to a 7-year-old.
At Children's Hospital yesterday, Dr. Ben Lee should have been heading home. His shift was over. His body was exhausted. But then his phone rang with news that would change everything for little Maya Rodriguez.
A donor liver—a perfect match—had just become available for the girl he'd been treating for months. Maya, just seven years old, had been fighting for her life since her diagnosis. Dr. Lee had been there from day one. He'd held her small hand through every chemo session and looked her in the eyes when he promised: "I'll be the one to get the bad guy out."
He wasn't scheduled for the surgery. He wasn't even the lead surgeon. But there was no universe where Ben Lee was going to break that promise.
The operation began at 4 PM and stretched through the night—14 hours of intense, unrelenting work to give Maya a fighting chance. Dr. Lee never sat down once, assisting lead surgeon Dr. Anya Sharma through every critical moment. His scrubs were drenched, his hands shaking from exhaustion, but he didn't falter.
When they finally stabilized Maya's new liver at 6 AM, Dr. Sharma turned to her colleague. Ben was pale, swaying on his feet. "Go rest," she told him gently. "I'll call you for closing."
He just shook his head and slid down the OR wall, grabbing the nearest pillow. Within seconds, he was asleep on the floor—refusing to be more than ten feet from his patient.
A nurse captured this moment, overwhelmed by what she was witnessing. "He'll wake up the second she needs him," she whispered. "That's the kind of doctor he is."
When reporters later asked Dr. Lee about sleeping on the floor, he simply shrugged: "I made a promise to a little girl. Everything else is just details."
Maya is recovering well. Her surgery was successful.”

@WinnieKiiza It's just fear Winnie.. These people are brutes. I thought Men in uniform are supposed to be the most respectful and disciplined. The arrogance is simply a disregard to humanity with gross impunity.
