Despite my efforts to free incarcerated @NUP_Ug youths, NUP leaders and supporters have unfairly criticized me. Their backlash hints at exploiting these youths for political gain, which we're thwarting. Uganda needs clean politics for development. Let's ditch deceitful tactics for transparency and accountability.
As Youth & Children Affairs Minister, I pledge to continue helping secure freedom of all remorseful youths misled by NUP leadership. Once set free , we shall focus on rebuilding their lives and promoting personal growth and community progress. It should be interest of all peace loving Ugandans to promote Unity, Peace and love amongst our people in Uganda !
Thanks to HE @KagutaMuseveni , a kind and forgiving leader, and Cdf Gen @mkainerugaba for supporting our youth regardless of party affiliation.

A traffic officer on duty @ MUBS intercepted, the driver of vehicle UBM 439T T/Landcruiser, Mercy Timbitwire Bashisha for using her phone while driving.
Despite repeated instructions to stop, the driver refused & continued driving to Lugogo traffic lights, where the officer pursued & stopped her again. She then proceeded to UMA, where she & her other friend allegedly assaulted the officer, seizing his phones & a police EPS gadget printer. The two ladies have been charged & are currently detained pending court proceedings.
We strongly condemn such acts of violence against our officers & emphasize the importance of respecting law enforcement officers.
