DEVELOPING: Two children have died after they were allegedly stabbed at a family home in Ggaba, Bunga-Kalungu, Kampala, early Thursday morning. The suspect, a Kenyan woman believed to be the children's mother, allegedly stabbed the children before locking herself in a room. One child died at the scene, while another died in hospital, according to the area chairperson. Neighbours were alerted by a car alarm at around 5am and found a vehicle on fire at the property. They forced their way into the locked house after hearing children crying and found the 17-year-old eldest daughter dead in her bed, while other children had sustained stab wounds. An injured child allegedly told neighbours that their mother had carried out the attack. The incident reportedly followed a domestic dispute between the woman and her husband on Wednesday. Police are on ground investigating the incident.

The white man comes to legally work in your land, you call them expatriates.
You go to legally work in their land, they call you immigrants.
Taking note.
I personally lost my brother in this kind of nonsense. And by the time we actually found the necessary medicine, it was too late and he was gone. Something as important as Anesthesia medicine required to perform surgery was not available, even the pharmacies didnโt have itโฆ..๐
i love that our generation managed to kill the stereotype that if you have tattoos, you wonโt be able to find a job.
now nobody can find a job, whether you have tattoos or not.

RE: CONDUCT OF MINISTERIAL INSPECTIONS AT PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES
The Uganda Medical Association (U.M.A.) acknowledges your Ministryโs commitment to rooting out corruption, absenteeism, and service delivery failures in local government. We share your goal of accountability.
๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, we are deeply concerned about the ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฑ๐ employed during recent inspections of health facilities; specifically, the presence of television cameras in clinical areas, the public interrogation of health workers, and arrests ordered before allegations have been properly investigated.
๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐. Filming patients in wards, maternity units, and consultation rooms without informed consent violates the Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Charter, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, and Article 27 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐บ. Finding a health worker away from their station proves nothing without first verifying the duty roster, leave records, night-duty history, and on-call arrangements. Compensatory rest after night duty, annual leave, and sick leave are lawful entitlements under the Employment Act and Article 40 of the Constitution. Accusations of absenteeism must follow verification, not precede it.
๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐น๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐. Ugandaโs public facilities are staffed at roughly a third of established needโ34% against Ministry of Health norms, with diagnostic services at 47.7% and medicine availability at 58.9%. Where a worker refers a patient due to a stock-out or missing test, that is a systemic failure, not corruption. The two must be distinguished.
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น. Articles 28 and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the presumption of innocence and a fair hearing. Arrests and public humiliation cannot substitute for proper investigation through established @PoliceUg, public-service, and professional-regulatory channels.
U.M.A therefore recommends that;
- ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐!!!
- @GovUganda fixes the system and funds recruitment and supplies.
- Humiliation Health Workers stops immediately.
- @MoLGUganda either leaves health facility inspections to @MinofHealthUG and it's organs or requests their active involvement.

Service with Honour,
@BalaamBarugahar Why didnโt you arrest nameere where there was proper evidence like youโve been doing with other people? Investigations were never done n yet defamation brought to some innocent people๐๐๐
@JustineNameere@HustleKing01@KagutaMuseveni@StateHouseUg@mkainerugaba@Nyinancweende A those people whose reputations you turnished falsely without proper investigation and evidence during these your visits also going to get a chance to clear their names on tv? Or set the record straight??? This is just karmaโฆ.what goes around comes backโฆ..
that woman lost her son. she hasnโt returned to work since.
since then, white women have been flooding her medical office with bad reviews about her practice because she wants justice for her deceased child.
Quality over ANYTHING! Not gonna buy mediocre just because itโs Ugandan cause the last time I checked I ainโt getting any Uganda product for free so if Iโm spending my own money itโs about quality! I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions mostly when we are paying for products!! Nido canโt be compared to Lato but Lato is trying! For those who donโt know Nido was kicked out of Uganda btw now I have to fully stock Nido from my trips to Southafrica!! U donโt have to kick out another product for u to shine, Lato! Come onnnnnnn!
I will not be cleaning
If the government can afford endless convoys, luxury vehicles for MPs and ministers, extravagant donations, then it can certainly afford to hire professional cleaners and put proper waste management systems in place.
Taxpayers already fund the state. That money should be used to install adequate public garbage bins, maintain regular professional cleaning services, and build sustainable sanitation infrastructure not to guilt ordinary citizens into doing unpaid labour every last Saturday of the month.
Asking the public to do our part while leaders live in excess and the basic systems remain broken is not civic responsibility. It is shifting the burden of government failure onto the people.
A clean environment is important, yes but it is first and foremost the responsibility of a competent state that collects taxes precisely for this purpose.
Until the excessive waste and mismanagement of public resources stops, I will not participate in these cleaning exercises.
Hire professionals. Fix the systems. Stop treating citizens as free labour for problems created by poor governance.
