It is astonishing that a PhD holder like Lawrence Muganga would choose to frame a constitutional issue as an ethnic one.
The question before Ugandans is not whether Muganga is a Munyarwanda.
It is whether a person holding dual citizenship can legally be appointed Minister of State for Internal Affairs.
The Constitution of Uganda is clear on restrictions relating to holders of dual citizenship occupying certain sensitive state positions.
Instead of engaging with the law, Muganga has chosen the easier route of claiming discrimination based on ethnicity. That is intellectually dishonest.
A scholar, especially one with a PhD, should be the first to encourage citizens to read the Constitution, understand the law, and debate facts rather than emotions.
When legal restrictions are presented as ethnic persecution, it not only misleads the public but also trivialises genuine cases of discrimination. Uganda is governed by laws, not by tribal sentiments.
A PhD should teach one to confront evidence, not to run away from it.
The Constitution does not ask whether one is a Munyarwanda, Muganda, Munyankole or Acholi. It asks whether one meets the legal requirements for the office.
The debate should remain where it belongs: in the Constitution, not in ethnic victimhood.
@Kabogo_Henry You are damn bloody liar @Kabogo_Henry. This is a traditional marriage ceremony among the Acholi people of Northern Uganda when the groom to be visits the bride to be’s home. They should enter the main house crawling to show the weight of the responsibility he is about to take.
For many younger Arsenal fans, the glory is Arteta’s.But the foundation was laid by Arsène Wenger.
Between 2007 and 2017, Arsenal were fighting a battle many conveniently forget.
The club had moved into the Emirates Stadium and the financial burden was enormous.
While rivals spent freely, Arsenal had to survive. Wenger sold stars, balanced books, kept the club in the Champions League and protected Arsenal’s identity while others mocked us for “only” finishing top four.
But those top four finishes were not small achievements. They were lifelines. Champions League money helped pay back the stadium loan. Wenger himself admitted how important that was.
At the same time, we watched some of our best players leave; many to Manchester City who were like a new bride having landed on oil money.
Chelsea too had a Russian billionaire whom Wenger jokingly said had a canon facing Arsenal firing £50 notes!
In many ways, City accelerated their rise with players developed under Wenger’s Arsenal. Yet despite that drain, Wenger kept Arsenal competitive through intelligence, coaching and belief.
What makes his sacrifice even deeper is knowing he could have walked away. Real Madrid wanted him. Any manager would have been tempted. But Wenger stayed because the banks financing the Emirates reportedly demanded stability and wanted him to sign a long-term extension as reassurance. He chose Arsenal over personal glory.
Today, when Arsenal challenge for titles again, we are watching the delayed reward of Wenger’s sacrifice.
The Emirates stadium, the global stature of the club, the modern infrastructure, the culture; all of it rests on foundations he protected during the hardest years.
Some people build teams for the present.Arsène Wenger built Arsenal for the future. ❤️
