Ofwono Opondo: I didn't know that as NRM, we would reach the level where we fear to say the truth but that's where we are.

Ofwono Opondo:
In the parliamentary caucus of the NRM, to which I belong, the issue of human rights has been persistent during the five months we have been in Parliament.

I have spoken to the Chief Whip and to the NRM leaders in Parliament (ministers), and there has not been any efforts to have that discussion in the caucus.

And my reading is that they're unwilling to engage because of repudiation. They don't know what will follow if they allow that discussion in an official forum.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Leader of the Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi has urged NRM members and government officials not to label senior party members, including Older Persons MP for Eastern Uganda, Ofwono Opondo, as disloyal for speaking out on alleged abductions in the country.

Ssenyonyi called for open discussion of public concerns, saying leaders should be free to raise issues of national interest without their loyalty being questioned.

On the floor of Parliament this afternoon, Ofwono Opondo, the MP for Older Persons (Eastern Uganda), raised the issue of continued arbitrary arrests, abductions and torture of citizens by security forces.

He specifically cited the abduction of Praise Aloikin Opoloje about three weeks ago.

He wondered whether this was a new law for the NRM.

This latest article from Thomas Pikkety, the renowned French economist and leading authority on wealth inequality, should be essential reading here in the UK.

His argument is simple.

France has never been wealthier. Yet education funding per student has fallen by 20% since 2017, public services are struggling, and inequality is deeply embedded in the system.

Sound familiar?

The problem isn't that our countries have run out of wealth. It's how that wealth is distributed, who controls it, and the political choices made to protect it.

For decades, we've been told that austerity, declining public services and falling living standards are unavoidable consequences of economic crises, yet those same decades have seen extraordinary concentrations of private wealth.

Socialise the costs. Privatise the gains.

This is the reality we all need to wake up to.

These aren't inevitable economic outcomes. They're the consequences of political choices, made over time, that have prioritised the accumulation of private wealth over the needs of society.

And as public anger grows, we're seeing a deeply concerning response: The rise of the far right, directing that anger towards immigrants, disabled people, those claiming welfare and other vulnerable groups, rather than towards the economic structures responsible for the inequalities people are rightly furious about.

As @NaomiAKlein describes fascism, "it's capitalism's most ferocious threat response. A way of directing public anger downwards at the vulnerable, rather than upwards at the system."

Fascism doesn't challenge the status quo. It protects it by giving people someone else to blame.

The fundamental question isn't whether our societies can afford something better. It's why, when we've never been wealthier, we're repeatedly told we must accept less.

We need to fundamentally rethink an economy built around extraction, exploitation and wealth concentration, and start building one that delivers equitable, sustainable prosperity for everyone.

And with the UK Budget next week, this should be a serious warning to @UKLabour.

If the Budget fails to acknowledge this fundamental reality, and instead offers another round of "difficult decisions" that protect concentrated wealth while asking ordinary people to shoulder the burden, then @andyburnham really hasn't understood what's happening across Europe.

What's unfolding in France isn't an isolated protest. It's a warning of what happens when people stop accepting that a society growing ever wealthier somehow can't afford to give them a better life.

This isn't something politicians can keep kicking down the road.

The warning signs are everywhere. The question now is whether those in power are prepared to confront the causes, or continue defending the very system that's driving the anger.

@edtabaro Yes — worked with him there for about 3-4 years

[Hashim Wasswa Mulangwa @Hashim11]

Sad to hear about Geoffrey Onegi-Obel’s passing.

I learnt a lot about Uganda’s financial sector and its politics by watching and listening to what he had to say. Worked with him very early on in my career, he was an interesting boss with a complex personality.

May his soul rest in peace.

[CEO East Africa Magazine @CEOEastAfrica]

Uganda has lost one of the architects of its modern financial sector.

Geoffrey Alan Onegi-Obel, the founding Chairman of @USEUganda and former Chairman of @nssfug, passed away on Sunday, 18 October 2026, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Would be nice to interview him again in 3-5 years — my bet?
