[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

“‘Ndi Munyarwanda and Banyarwanda are among the tribes in Uganda. That is a simple fact. I am not Rwandese. Before I came here, I had two citizenships—that’s the Ugandan citizenship and the Canadian citizenship.”

Dr Lawrence Muganga has addressed questions on his nationality and dual citizenship.

Dr. Lawrence Muganga was arrested from his office by joint security forces on 2nd September 2021 over allegations of espionage and illegal stay in the country. Today, he has been appointed Minister of State for Internal Affairs, the very ministry under which the agencies that arrested him operate. Truly, life comes with no user manual.

I have seen pro-Shamekadde people say it’s not true that Bilangilangi funded his campaign. I dare him to raise any criticism against that Bukedea Polka dotted fraud!

For clarity, all the deals between the two were through Honorable Abdu Katuntu.

Garvey and Nyerere's Ghosts: Why the Young Museveni Would Have Been a Criminal Under His Bill Today
Amidst a storm of national and international backlash, the Ugandan government has deleted or diluted several of the more heinous clauses in its controversial Sovereignty Bill. These retreats were first signalled in a three-page letter from President Yoweri Museveni. Even so, the President defended the remaining text, claiming to channel the spirit of heroes like Marcus Garvey and Julius Nyerere, the struggles of the ANC, and two centuries of African anti-colonial resistance.
One might have let this pass, were it not for the glaring contradictions. Museveni is right to assert that African nations must guard their policy-making against external coercion to ensure the continent's future is determined by its own citizens. His acknowledgement of the long struggle against colonial exploitation rightly identifies the need for African agency. But a closer look at the Bill and the historical movements it invokes reveals deep-seated contradictions.
To begin with, Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was the ultimate example of foreign political funding, powered by the remittances of the global Black Diaspora. While Museveni's letter claims to protect remittances, the Bill's broad language targets money with political intent. Since Garvey's entire financial model was built on political intent - the liberation of Africa - his work would be an illegal foreign influence under the strictures of this Bill. There is a fundamental disconnect in claiming Garvey as a hero while legislating to block the global African community's support (among others).
Similarly, the ANC's 1994 victory was won precisely because the movement ignored territorial sovereignty. The ANC built a globalised network that funnelled foreign money and political pressure into South Africa. A strict Sovereignty Bill in the 1970s would have been the Apartheid regime's greatest tool to silence the ANC's international allies.
Museveni should know this practically. In the late 1980s, he oversaw the relocation of the ANC and its armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, to central Uganda. When they eventually won power in 1994, their massive parade in Kampala surprised many Ugandans who hadn't realised the sheer scale of the foreign presence on their soil (South Africa has repaid the favour by refusing to grant Ugandans visa-free access, while those Africans who actually even opposed their anti-apartheid struggle get it. Talk of treachery and ingratitude). Anyway, essentially, the Museveni of today is seeking to punish the progressive Museveni of decades past.
Furthermore, Museveni credits the USSR and China (and should have added Cuba) for assisting the African Resistance. This creates a logical trap: if the 20th-century liberation movements, including Museveni's own NRA, had operated under his proposed Sovereignty Bill, their external support would have been criminalised. Foreign weapons and training would have seen these freedom fighters labelled as mercenaries or traitors by the standing regimes.
Finally, Museveni blames egocentric kings for the disunity that invited colonisation. However, this Bill does exactly what those kings did: it concentrates power within a small executive Cabinet rather than the people. By invoking Garvey and Nyerere, Museveni is choosing heroes whose radical, pro-people philosophies offer the strongest arguments against his legislative agenda.

The bill is not a new communist idea, the @GovernmentGeo passed the Foreign Agents Registration Act in May 2025. The wording is the same with #uganda. Influenced by Russia not to join the @Europeanunion.

Many parents would wish to pay all the fees at once, but they’re struggling. That’s why they pay in instalments. Many of us studied at the mercy of schools where our parents would go and explain themselves seeking for more time to find money. Yes, schools are businesses too and have costs to meet, but that shouldn’t totally take away the human face. If universities penalise late payment by adding huge fines (surcharges) every other week of delayed payment, that doubling the burden of an already struggling parent. It is easy to say that ‘let them go where they can afford’, but should that be the response in a society that boasts about Ubuntu? Make late payment policies human.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: It was an honor to reunite with Bobi Wine, whose tireless pursuit of a free, democratic Uganda has inspired millions around the world. His leadership of a nonviolent struggle to end Uganda's crackdown on political opposition groups and strengthen human rights provides important guideposts for the US-Uganda partnership.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

How can my rights and dignity be a subject of negotiation?
NBS is just a peddler or fake results, fake narratives!
My return to my home country is a right and I will soon return to Uganda, and the regime can do whatever they want.
Standing against Museveni (and beating him) is only a crime in the eyes of NBS, not in the eyes of the law.

UGANDA |🇺🇬🇪🇺The European Parliament has called Uganda’s election what it was: a military operation to crush the only credible opposition. Security forces were used not to protect voters, but to intimidate, kill, detain, torture, and silence political opponents.

Statements are no longer enough. The EU, its Member States, and allied democracies must move to consequences — identifying and acting against those responsible, from commanders to political enablers.

Targeted sanctions, visa bans, asset freezes, suspension of security cooperation, and a review of aid that sustains repression must follow.

By this point, the U.S, the UK, and the EU must understand that repeated failure to act is steering the region toward deeper instability, normalized violence, and the erosion of democratic and regional security norms — with consequences far beyond Uganda.

Commander @mkainerugaba has crossed a red line and now the U.S. must reevaluate its security partnership, which includes sanctions, and military cooperation with Uganda. The president's son, and likely successor, cannot just delete tweets and issue hollow apologies. The U.S. will not tolerate this level of instability and recklessness when American personnel, U.S. interests, and innocent lives in the region are at stake.
