ST. JULIAN HIGH SCHOOL (A-LEVEL CAMPUS, GAYAZA)
@StJulianHS, how does a parent pay 1.2M out of 2.1M and get told to take the child home because it is "not enough"
You want the money, Fine. Also understand what parents go through to raise even that. If a parent has paid over 50%, let the child in and study. Do not send them back like they brought nothing.
What made this worse was the Bursar stationed in the Arena. Her line: "Either top up 400k or go home and use double transport to bring him back when he has topped up or cleared."
This is not administration. This is contempt. There is no grace period. Now payment plan, but Just: pay, or leave.
You charge 2.1M and still have no PTA.
Complaints never get a room. That is why this is online. Maybe now you will hear it.
For that fee, children also miss meals because of overcrowding. That is poor planning, not "high numbers." If 2.1M is not enough to feed them and treat parents like people, say so and raise the fee. Do not take the money and still run the school like this.
Let the child stay. Or explain why 1.2M is treated as zero.
@Educ_SportsUg, Parents are not in these private schools because they love being drained. They are there because government schools still cannot be trusted with a child's future.
Give public schools real facilities, real teachers and education that does not need a disclaimer. Then parents would not be paying 2.1M to be sent home at 1.2M, lectured by a Bursar, and told to come back when they have "topped up."
As long as government schools remain the weaker option, private schools will keep charging like this and treating parents like ATMs. Fix the public school system. That is the only way this stops.
Andrew, honestly, this is deeply disappointing. Even if you believe Best Kemigisa has acted wrongly, there is a proper way to address that. What you have chosen to do is turn an unresolved royal and customary dispute into a public prosecution of a woman who has just lost her son.
And the original version of your post was even more disturbing. You went as far as invokin H.E @KagutaMuseveni the sitting President of Uganda, in your account of why Queen Mother Best Kemigisa was allegedly protected from prosecution over the murder of Prince Kijanangoma. Yet that version was later deleted and replaced with an edited one. Why delete it?
If that is your truth, stand by it. You put it out publicly. You attached the President’s name to an extremely serious allegation involving a murder investigation and alleged protection from prosecution. That is not a minor detail you casually edit out and expect people not to notice.
And If the body was being unlawfully withheld, involve the appropriate authorities. If there is a succession dispute, resolve it through the recognised customary and legal mechanisms. If there was forgery, produce the evidence. If there was murder, produce the findings. If there was misuse or sale of kingdom land, produce the records. Social media is not a court of law. Repetition is not evidence. And personal proximity to the royal family is not proof. You keep asking people to put emotions aside and look at the facts. Fine. Then let us do exactly that.
What is the specific customary rule being violated? What is the legal authority governing the present dispute? What evidence establishes the allegations you have made? And what process has been followed?
And please, the constant “my grandmother, my cousin, my royal connections…” does not make your account automatically authoritative. If your argument is sound, defend the argument. You do not need to repeatedly remind Ugandans of your proximity to Tooro to make it credible. Most importantly, whatever grievances you may have carried for 30 years, this woman has just lost the son she gave birth to, the man who became Omukama. You may disagree with her actions, but turning her grief into a public catalogue of every accusation you have against her is unnecessarily cruel. If she has broken the law or violated a binding customary process, deal with it through the proper institutions. Do not turn X into her courtroom simply because you have a platform.
You say you love Tooro and are defending the kingdom. Then defend its dignity too. Because what you are doing right now is not making the kingdom look stronger; it is exposing a deeply personal and unresolved royal conflict to the entire country at the most painful possible moment.
We expected better from you, Andrew. Much better.
When Photo journalism is done right, one photo tells the whole story.
We may not need anymore photos from the funeral coz this one has told it all; A story of pain that words can’t describe. A pain that this guy’s lens captured and froze in time. Enkuba Etutire 😔

We, too, reach a breaking point as lawyers.
People are arrested. We go to court and apply for bail, sometimes five times, including applications for mandatory bail only for a magistrate to decline to grant it on the alleged readiness of the State, when the State is, in fact, not ready. The accused then spends six, ten, or even fourteen months in detention without witnesses being called or evidence being presented. Eventually, the accused begins to see a guilty plea as the only way out.
As a lawyer, you explain the consequences. You tell your client that they are innocent and that the law still provides avenues through which their case can be challenged. But they tell you that all hope is lost. And you see it too: the impunity of the judicial officer, the conduct of the State, and the failures of a system that appears indifferent to the suffering of the person before it. All of this is compounded by the client's personal circumstances.
Then the State tells the accused that they will not serve the maximum sentence. They are told that they will only receive a sentence equivalent to the period already spent on remand. The arrangement effectively enables both the court and the State to secure a conviction, but at the cost of a person who may be innocent and whom, in some cases, those involved know to be innocent, yet who has become collateral damage in the machinery of politics.
For those who refuse to plead guilty, you go to the High Court. You pursue every available legal remedy, but every judicial officer runs away from your file. You spend six, ten, or even fourteen months trying to get bail at High Court.
Where is the justice we studied at law school? Where are the Judges who stood for principle, fairness and the rule of law?
Are we truly doomed to watch the justice system descend into this apocalypse?
Your Excellency @KagutaMuseveni, I wish to restate for clarity and record that I am a government official who reported corruption long before the guidance you have issued in this letter. I submitted formal reports in December 2022 and May 2023, which is now in line with your call for public officers to expose wrongdoing in your current missive.
The Minister you consistently commend is fully aware of these reports. At the time, he was Minister of State, and I personally provided him copies. He informed you that he had disrupted a scheme where individuals were allegedly paying UGX 30 million to access you. Unfortunately, a similar situation existed within his own area of supervision in Billions of Shillings. I was interdicted and I am legally not permitted to go and see him. My WhatsApp messages to him have come to naught.
I have attached screenshots of my submissions to CID and DPP as evidence. I escalated the matter to all three Ministers and the Permanent Secretary, and I forwarded the same documents to the corruption reporting channels. My experience after reporting has been difficult. I have been interdicted since 30th April 2023.
I also engaged a Deputy IGG, who informed me that interviews were underway. However, I later learned that she had already written to the very officers I had reported, and her conclusions aligned with their explanations even where those explanations were inconsistent.
As I have often said, addressing corruption by focusing on small cases such as PDM theft across many districts is comparable to catching “mukene.” The larger, more organised cases require deeper attention. I submitted detailed briefs to two officials who were then working within State House: Harriet Komuhimbo Akiiki, who later connected me to Irene Birungi (@IreneMugisha). These briefs were comprehensive booklets. I was later accused of leaking some of these documents, even though I was out of office at the time.
I continue to receive messages from many civil servants who would like to report wrongdoing but feel unable to do so because of a long‑standing culture of silencing within the public service. Corruption cannot be effectively addressed when civil servants fear losing their jobs for speaking up through legal channels.
As an illustration, I have attached a report from an Engineering Officer in Mubende who documented the vandalisation of a generator in 2023. Instead of receiving protection, the Rewards and Sanctions Committee asked the DPC of Mubende District to investigate him instead as of 23rd July 2026.
