Imagine a guy in your neighborhood buys one internet bundle, puts up a router, and sells Wi-Fi to the whole street at 1,000 shillings a session. The regulator looks at it, sees something that actually works, and throws its weight behind it instead of shutting it down. And now the telcos are calling it unfair.
Unfair. After years of rationing data like it was uranium, after bundles that died before morning, the people quietly built their own internet economy on top of the same network, and that is the part that offends them.
Telcos still do not get that when you price people out of something they need, they do not suffer quietly. They build the workaround. The 1,000 shilling hotspot is exactly what a market does when it has been squeezed too long.
And do not let the Starlink noise fool you. It is coming in through Airtel, priced for people who were never the ones struggling. The disruption that actually reaches the street is a man with a router and a price the whole street can pay.
You do not get to gouge a country for a decade and then cry foul when it routes around you.
Agnes is in Senior Four in Kampala. She has no parents, and she has stayed in school through everything. This year she sits her UCE exams, if her fees are cleared in time.
Her full goal is 1,375,000 UGX. Fees, a uniform, books, shoes. The campaign closes on 17 June.
Contributing takes under a minute by mobile money, no account needed. Every contribution appears on her public list the moment it lands, so you see exactly how close she gets to the exam room.
Her campaign link is in the first comment. Help Agnes sit her exams.
Our team plays turf football 4x a week, and tracking the money became harder than the games. 😂
Every month: • Who paid? • Who owes? • Where did the cash go?
We always ended up short, and trust fades when the math doesn't add up.
So I built the solution: SquadLedger. ⚽️ 💰
@nbstv@HonOpendi Drivers of government vehicles are some of the most indisciplined people on the road. They drive recklessly and ignore traffic laws as if they don’t apply to them, setting a bad example because they know they’re untouchable.
@SimonKaggwaNjal So the thieves decided to steal from the most guarded building that is also near cps yet on Kampala road there are many shops that sell laptops😂🤦♂️
"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
Proposal on cutting government expenditure (Parliament ):
We have 146 districts in Uganda. Each district should have one (1) Member of parliament and this position should be for both genders. This would then scrap off the Woman MP position.
1 youth representative.
1 PWDs representative.
1 workers representative.
1 older persons representative.
There’s no need for UPDF representative in parliament.
This would reduce the number of MPs from 529 to 150 and that’s a difference of 379 MPs.
If we assume that each MP earns 40 million shillings.
379x 40,000,000=15.16 billion shillings (per month) and in 5 years, you’ll have saved about a trillion shillings.( investment that in health, education or infrastructure)
I would go ahead to suggest that an MP shouldn’t earn above 10 million shillings a month!

@PatroUganda I guess it’s a matter of preference. There are rich guys who can afford the Range Rovers he is referring to, but they prefer performance cars. A good example is King AD’s car collection.
