"No matter how much money you have in this country, the moment you step out of your house, you are poor!"
I sought to ask @NativeLandgrab about his illuminating piece, "Parliament is the Bribe", but the conversation took us back to the basics: class consciousness, earlier revolutionaries, neoliberalism, politics of envy, a critical mass … A wholesome sit-down.
We sit down for @observerug viewpoint

I had no idea, there were chiefs who refused to sign the 1900 Buganda Agreement – & thus forfeited their land share.
Explaining "Parliament is the Bribe" @NativeLandgrab tells the brave stories of men and women who refused the good life of power – or being close to power – for a larger cause.

"Most people live hand-to-mouth. Can’t pay rent, find transport to work, or even put food on the table. At least 3000 Karimojong practically starved to death under our noses in 2022"- @gawayategulle

I’ve been seated on the ferry meant to go to Kalangala from Bukakata for close to two hours, but it has not set off.
I’m told there’s been an instruction not to set off because there is no “clearance” yet for me to proceed to Kalangala, where I’m meant to be one of the supervisors for our candidate Nampala Irene’s team in the by-election.
On the ground, we’ve been getting numerous reports of numberless cars moving to various polling stations, and reports of ballot staffing.
Given the determination they have for me not to make it to Kalangala, even other means like a speed boat would be risky since the military might intercept us in the middle of the lake to cause us harm, or worse!
Oh Uganda, may God uphold thee!
As the lawyers at @ug_lawsociety prepare to strike this Friday, let us be reminded that in East Africa, we are each other's keeper. #CrossBorderSolidarity
Hope @RKirunda's words reach the heads of @NRMOnline apologists & enablers. The tragedy of these useful idiots is that they mistake access to power for immunity from its consequences. One day, they too may stand where this woman stands-begging for the very mercy they once denied others.
Miria Matembe dared Muhoozi to raid her home and abduct her and see what her angels will do to him. She said her home is not fenced. Muhoozi, typical of his almighty character has unleashed the military to abduct her.
If, or should I say when, the current status quo changes in Uganda, we’ll have to live with its proponents.
Besides the very few members of the ruling elite who can flee the country, the vast majority of its supporters have nowhere else to go. Uganda is our only home. They, and their families, will be here.
It therefore behooves the supporters of the current establishment to take a long-term view, and to educate themselves, that patriotism is not a forced love of the country, but our ability to accommodate each other in our diversity - knowing that power is transient, a revolving door - and that our collective security lies in our abilities to accommodate each other.
Today’s Muhoozi’s are tomorrow’s Malyamungus (Amin’s dreaded henchman), today’s Birungis (now Otto -the (in)famous CMI) are tomorrow’s Rwakasis or Buturus (Obote’s vicious enforcers).
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we must learn to live together as brothers (and sisters) or perish as fools.
Why they keep us poor, ignorant and sick - @cobbo3
"History shows that governments have used poverty to maintain control......Poverty, it appears, can be a tool to keep people focused on survival, and less able to challenge authority. Education has also been shaped to limit resistance."

It is through addressing some of the bottlenecks and coming up with new policies that we shall transform our education sector to meet the demands of the 21st Century.

This week, while launching his manifesto for 2026-2031, the President made a reference to a security issue; the stealing of livestock that is now rampant in the countryside.
