After dark, Dr @kizzabesigye1 was moved from Luzira Prison to JCRC hospital today.
He is still very weak. He struggles to walk, speak, write or even hold anything steadily.
I am asking for one thing - let me bring him home to Geneva for proper medical care, surrounded by his family.
He has been arrested more than 50 times. He has faced case after case. He has never run away from justice.
Why drag a sick man from place to place? Why deny him the care of his family? Why force a trial on a man too ill to defend himself?
He needs care, not cruelty.
This is not justice. It is persecution.

@GabrielBuule But Ben White is now considered a right back,Mosquera is rated highly but u can't have one right sided center back in Mosquera, considering that Saliba is a long term injury.
Hello, NUP supporters. I would like to say that what you have done to my company is enough. You kept contacting them and putting pressure on them until they fired me, and now you have succeeded in your mission I have lost my job.
I sincerely hope you can stop sending them whatever you have been sending. They have done exactly what you wanted.
So, let me see if losing my job is going to make Bobi Wine the President of Uganda 🇺🇬. If that was the mission, congratulations—you succeeded.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to me losing my job. Era genda kulima.

Thanks to the amazing technical team at @NUP_Ug, I've been able to regain control of this account. Yesterday morning, as I typed a tribute for the late Yasin Kawuma who was brutally murdered 8 years ago on 13th August 2018, the account was hijacked midway and I lost control of it. These amazing guys swang into action and immediately prevented further damage. Can't thank them enough for being able to outmanoeuvre the evil schemes by our detractors👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾🙏🏽
UPDATE: The personal X account of our Secretary General (@DavidLRubongoya) has been fully restored and is now in his safe custody!
Thanks to our NUP technical hooligans 🙏🏾
This Friday....All roads lead to Kololo Airstrip for the concert of the year! 🔥🎶

CAN CORRUPTION FIGHT CORRUPTION? HELL NO!
When the young people of Uganda organised anti-corruption marches in 2024, Museveni boldly declared war on them, saying they were playing with fire. Indeed, those who attempted to protest were abducted or arrested and subjected to untold torture, including sexual assault and rape! That was Museveni protecting corruption and the corrupt!
I have now seen Museveni’s ministers running up and down purportedly exposing the massive, runaway corruption at various ministries, agencies, and local governments.
First, they're helping confirm what we've always said that the regime is simply a criminal enterprise masquerading as a government. You hear of the scandals in his government and shudder. They're telling you that on average, constructing a public road, hospital, or school costs five or six times more than what should be spent, because these officials are always inflating the cost of every government project.
No wonder those thieves (who should be public servants) always do everything possible to protect the regime because they know that it would be game over for them when government changes. In fact, they invest so much of that stolen money in ensuring the regime remains in power against the will of the people.
The people of Uganda must remain steadfast and not be distracted by the superficial crusades. They're not capable of tackling the problem. A serious government, faced with such evidence of failure and rot for four decades, would simply resign.
What these ministers are talking about does not even account for 1% of the mess. Corruption begins right from State House and spreads like a cancer to all institutions. A former IGG talked of how every time she tried to go for the REAL MAFIAS - the big fish, she would find them hiding behind Museveni’s back! We've all seen how he uses hundreds of billions of public funds to engage in open bribery during elections. We've seen him bribe MPs with billions to pass oppressive laws. We've seen how he's always in the market trying to buy off political opponents at all levels. We've seen him award government contracts to friends and relatives without following due process. We've seen him engage in the worst forms of corruption, cronyism, and nepotism. We've seen him abuse and run down all institutions of state with impunity - Parliament, the judiciary, etc. We've seen how he inserts trillions in every budget for 'classified expenditure' with only him knowing what that money does. And in each year, he comes back for supplementary budgets! Money, most of which is borrowed. He is the chief priest of corruption. The scandals that have taken place under his watch are too many to mention.
Worse still, he has presided over the most disgusting levels of electoral fraud not seen elsewhere in the recent past - going to an extent of rigging LC1 elections conducted by lining up! Shamelessly declaring NRM candidates winners even where some of those declared got 20 votes against opponents with over 400 votes! To-date Byabakama has failed to release the DR Forms, the basis of which he declared Museveni elected with 71%. Because he knows the people's vote was just grabbed on gunpoint! All that is corruption.
Therefore, Museveni's regime lacks any moral authority to say anything about corruption. Some of his appointed ministers are known thieves and plunderers. We all remember how he personally frustrated the former IGG's initiative on lifestyle audits of public officials.
In short, a government that is built on and survives on corruption can not fight corruption. The talk of exposing and fighting corruption is part of the politricks that he has played on our people for decades. The people of Uganda deserve a government of their own choosing - a government which they can hold accountable. A government of the people, by the people, for the people!
@TommyLeeUganda At that speed any slight mistake,the rest will be history. There is no room for error, I wonder how you can even hold the phone at da same time overtaking,that speed needs total concentration on the steering,u are putting yo life at stake
