@iamBarnet@edgarwabwire_ As one that thinks governments always act in good faith especially in matters related to health, shouldn't you be rebuking such ignorant statements?
The Communications and Public Affairs Department of @Parliament_Ug headed by Chris Obore has spent over UGX 3.138 BILLION on buying newspapers.

Previously, @Parliament_Ug did not allocate a budget for clothing and footwear to the department of communication and public affairs.
The practice began under the leadership of speaker Anita Among.
Since Financial year 2023/24, communications and public affairs department headed by Chris Obore has spent over UGX 882 MILLION on "clothing".

There is a group claiming that the @DailyMonitor Newspaper went overboard with this headline. Let me ask a few questions;
1. Besides being First Lady, is Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni a public officer? YES, she is the outgoing and incoming Minister for Education.
2. Do the citizens have a right to know whether their public officers such as cabinet Ministers are no shows at work and the reason thereof? YES.
3. Is there any record or communication from the Government about the Hon. Minister for Education going on sick leave? NO.
4. Has the Government failed on PR in this issue? I think so.
Instead of putting the blame where it lies - with those that are not communicating clearly to the citizens the status of the Hon. Minister for Education - to allow the religious to pray for her (if need be), they are blaming the newspaper that is asking the right question.
The day President Museveni started appointing his family members into public offices, he stripped them of a certain level of privacy that would be accorded to them. Let us be very clear.
A former boda boda rider at MM Pub, Kabuusu, Lubaga, sold his bike (when he heard me say that coffee growing gave better returns than the motor bike) and started a three-acre farm in Bukomansimbi. His farm grew to 17 acres by the time I visited him. He lives decently by any account.
A well-looked after acre of coffee yields at least 800,000/- per month. #WorkAndProsper
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
Security Alert: Kampala Bar Scam on the Rise.
There’s a worrying new scam hitting top bars in Kampala.
When a smartly dressed, middle-aged man sits alone with a drink. A woman approaches him aggressively, claiming he left her at a hotel/guesthouse without paying for “services
How Kampala thieves operate:
These criminals move with a well-planned strategy on the streets. In most cases, they work in groups consisting of a woman carrying a bag and several male accomplices acting as backup.
Once they identify a target, the woman quickly approaches and deliberately bumps into the person. Suddenly, her bag falls to the ground, or she throws herself down and starts shouting, “Omubbi! Omubbi!” (“Thief! Thief!”).
Immediately, her accomplices rush in, pretending to respond to the alarm. They begin searching, harassing, and accusing the victim while checking for valuables. In many cases, they start beating the victim, attracting a mob that joins in without knowing the truth.
A friend of mine once fell victim to a similar scheme. Thank God his “Inzikuru” 🏃🏾♂️ ancestors watched over him and helped him escape the danger. Otherwise, he could have lost his life.
Sadly, this appears to be a growing trend in our country. Even more concerning are allegations that some of these criminals are protected or aided by corrupt security personnel.
We must all remain careful and vigilant when walking on the streets, driving along highways, or stopping at traffic lights. Stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, and never rush to judge a situation before knowing the facts.
Your awareness could save your life or someone else’s!
