𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

Since his appointment as Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs in July 2022, Hon. @norbertmao has delivered tangible results with integrity, vision, and unwavering commitment to justice for all Ugandans as he points some of them in this video (📌Listen)

He has championed greater access to justice, tackled inequalities where the law too often favors the rich and powerful, and aggressively promoted 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (ADR) to make our courts faster, fairer, and more efficient. Under his leadership, the 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 (JLOS) has seen stronger collaboration between government and development partners, while pushing forward long-overdue constitutional review processes after decades of stagnation.

A seasoned lawyer, former Gulu LC5 Chairman, three-time presidential candidate, and Democratic Party President, Mao brings independent, principled leadership, the kind that balances the House, fights grand corruption, and ensures @Parliament_Ug serves the people, not just the powerful.

In a time when Uganda needs fresh, competent, and unifying leadership in the Speaker’s chair, Hon. Norbert Mao stands ready to steer Parliament with fairness, vibrancy, and respect for the Constitution.

This is not just about one man, it’s about building a better Uganda.

I support Hon. @norbertmao for Speaker because results matter, experience counts, and integrity is non-negotiable.

Wole Soyinka is the youngest 90-year-old I've ever met. He's still teaching, travelling and walking upright.

"That's the annoying thing, that I don't feel 90," he told me. But he's made "arrangements" for his death

Habibi, a @Parliament_Ug committee summoned a govt official. The official called them clowns, threatened to arrest them, and - interestingly - said he would arrest again, the already arrested MPs, if any of them cough badly after he has arrested them.

Now he has called for a march against Parliament, set a date, and is even using members of the same parliament to mobilize for the march on Twitter. All this because a committee, in the course of its work, summoned him like it does everyone else.

Interestingly, the speaker is quiet, her deputy is mute and even the once-strong, atapa-eating, bold-speaking man paid to speak for parliament, @ChrisObore1 who comes from the courageous warriors of Teso is silent! He is not alone: even @SabitiJoseph who speaks about everything and is supposed to be a fearless eater of nang nang, anyoya, and buffalo meat is as silent as a grave!

Isn't our beloved parliament, the no-nonsense house that stood up to American president Joe Biden and her deputy Kamala Harris, despite knowing that those two had a big red nuke button in their office, by passing the Anti-Homosexuality Act “to protect African families and values” despite their protests allowing itself to be taken for a ride? Nevermind that they also remained mute when the same govt official threatened to remove the said law in order to please some unnamed people he met in Japan.

If parliament is allowing itself to be a pushover like this, where will it all end? Will they keep quiet if that govt official - who has the means - says parliament is closed and all MPs should go home tomorrow? Anyway, my reading of human beings is that once they start, they don't stop. If Parliament stays silent longer, it will eventually end very badly for them in the long run… unfortunately for Among’s house, not many Ugandans think they’re worth defending. That makes it even more complicated for that house.
