One of Africa’s World Cup greatest wonder stories Cape Verde, has a population of just 500,000 at home, but has ONE MILLION of its citizens living abroad. It’s the only independent nation in the world that has that kind of global diaspora footprint. 🌍
I have put to Local Government people, whom some describe as cantankerous and quarrelsome, like Balaam and Justine Nameere. Nameere is famous for quarrelling. So, go and quarrel with her. - President @KagutaMuseveni#KnowYourBudget26#NBSUpdates
RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE
I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race.
After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament.
I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker.
I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years.
I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same.
I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me.
In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

But the day Katushabe Winstone (Mwine Bashaasha) gets arrested for causing loss of unbelievable amounts of tax payer’s money.
I will make a huge party in celebration!
Whoever retweets this is invited to this party because it’s soon!
At the residence of Anita Among in Kololo, meals are all served by Serena Hotel’s outside catering. Of, when it’s time for lunch/dinner, a Serena food van drives in & everyone present at the time is treated to a full buffet by Serena Hotels!
But there’s no money to pay teachers!
The man of the hour.
The glassy-eyed stare. The black and white monochrome basics.
The man whose X timeline is now the most-watched news source in Uganda.
The hand of history always brings up such people to the Town Square exactly when the moment requires them.
Where were you on the 21st of July last year?
Well, on that day, A LOT of money was withdrawn from the parliamentary SACCO:
First, Scovia Kongai withdrew 500,000,000/=, then Joan Apolot withdrew 500,000,000/=, Apio Esther withdrew 500,000,000/=, Muzamil withdrew 400,000,000/= then Rachael Ainamasiko withdrew 400,000,000/=.
That wasn't it. Not yet! Gonzaga Mitimbo withdrew 400,000,000/=, Esther Afoyochan withdrew 400,000,000/=, then Okema Leonard withdrew 400,000,000/=, then came @ChrisObore1. He withdrew 220,000,000/=, then he came back the same day & took 160, 000,000/=. Okema returned and took 210,000,000/=, then Molly Ozelle took 50,000,000/= and Muzamil another 50,000,000/=.
So, within the 8 hours of that day’s work day, people close to the speaker withdrew at least 4,190,000,000/= - Four billion, one hundred and ninety million. All this money was signed for as for speaker’s outreach, for outreach by unnamed parliamentary commissioners, or for use to fulfil unfulfilled CSR pledges - in the case of Obore.
Interestingly, this was the time Speaker Among was busy in the thick of her campaigns for NRM’s CEC. As many will recall, A LOT of money was spent in voter bribery during that election to the point that even the deputy speaker decried the amount of money spent by candidates he didn't name. In the end, Among trounced Kadaga with a difference not often seen in our politics.
