Mr. Museveni has conguratulated his wife on her 78 birthday and wished her quick recovery; the first time he speaks about her sickness. I join him in conguratulating Maama. You know @JanetMuseveni has been my colleague in Parliament for 15 years. But can I ask @KagutaMuseveni politely? Why did you appoint your aged and sick wife to an important ministry that takes care of over 12 million Ugandans? There are two million children in secondary and about 10m in primary. Was the appointment recommended by doctors as a therapy.
Lukwago denied bail as expected. @mkainerugaba had said "Lukwago will be in prison for 10 years." I had no doubt in my mind that the Magistrate was waiting for the ruling to append her signature. That is why she kept on postponing the ruling from Monday morning to 2pm to within next 24 hours. The whole plot is to deny Besigye lawyers who are forceful to enable Emmanuel Baguma convict @kizzabesigye1 as quickly as Muhoozi wishes. @EriasLukwago in jail and @MarthaKarua deported.
I hope the country remembers that @KagutaMuseveni wanted the Constitution amended to stop court from granting bail. This time, even the NRM MPs refused. He vowed to find other ways. Through cadre judges and magistrates, Museveni has found the other ways. Guys our country has gone; finished!
Ugandan lawyers on X, explain to me like a P7 kid how this works.
Lukwago is the lawyer for Dr Kizza Besigye. They arrested him and charged him with misprision of treason because they say he knew something about his client and did not report it.
But isn’t what a client tells his lawyer supposed to be secret? How can they arrest and charge the lawyer for not reporting his own client while he is just doing his job defending him in court?
Please explain simply because this one has confused me.
So, I’m told there is a ploy to potentially add me onto the “Terrorism” file of Butambala, or one of those other files in court.
I’ve said previously; when you fight corruption, it fights back.
Similarly, when you fight bad governance, it fights back!
But we shall overcome.

The President of @PFFUganda Erias Lukwago was yesterday abducted by personnel belonging to the Special Forces Command (SFC). His whereabouts remain unknown and he is being held in an ungazzetted place.
These series of events threaten the rule of law in the country.

TEAM @JudiciaryUG: “Where are your Kityos and Wambuzis?” Are you waiting for the enforced disappearance of a judicial officer before you join @ug_lawsociety in the search and rescue of an Officer of the Court @EriasLukwago_ , and in condemning this attack on the Judiciary?

HON. ERIAS LUKWAGO & THE 10 POINT PROGRAMME OF THE NRM::
It's been a long 24 hours since the arrest & detention of @EriasLukwago. The @PoliceUg is silent so I will not volunteer speculation as to the cause of his arrest. It is the reaction by Ugandans that I write this THREAD..!
Ssemujju to Muhoozi: I’m not afraid of you; you’re not immortal
"So yes, I can feel pain. I can experience fear like any normal human being. But I will not lose sleep over Muhoozi. Let him come and arrest me. No problem.
Because after arresting me, will he become immortal?
Will he become an angel whom nobody can ever arrest?
Will he never fall sick?
Will even malaria become afraid to attack him?
Let Ugandans stop being excessively afraid of Muhoozi. Muhoozi has a duty to serve the interests of Ugandans, not his personal interests. Taxpayers pay him, and those taxpayers have every right to hold him accountable. So whatever he says, I care less."

Summons are not issued by lawyers. Summons are issued by the @JudiciaryUG . Receive the summons and ascertain which judicial officer issued them, then take them to for Swahili lessons. Otherwise you are in the basement with the wrong lawyer.
A mediation process led by former CJ Bart Katureebe is offering fresh hope for resolving the long-running dispute between @JudiciaryUG & @ug_lawsociety, raising optimism that the talks could clear the way for its delayed annual general meeting & elections. https://t.co/sS2JjpxcVY
BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.
Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.
Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.
Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
