God's case: No appeal! Farmer, geek, artist, conservationist & techie. My finger's on the pulse of agric, health & tech issues that affect Ugandans

@rukoti_ That is how those officers make money.
At the UG-South Sudan border posts, immigration officers ask South Sudanese businesspersons to pay USD 100 for entry.

@kyeruphiona @OcenStiv Phiona, do you want to do something to him so the sons can rule?

164 votes in favour! 🌍🗺️ This is an emotional day for me. After making this case in three books and countless contributions over many years, the world has finally agreed: Africa must be seen in its true size. We did it! ✊🏾🎉

Where is the JUSTICE??

[Elotu Jonathan @elotu_jonathan]

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?

@IqbaIAchieve Thank you so much for letting me know - you might be interested in my new book "Crusader Storm" which tells the history of the twelfth century (well 1097-1187) from around ten different cultural perspectives.

@Novine_Farm @narovac_atv Hi Dr.
They are still waiting for government to identify a distributor for the vaccine. It is still not available to farmers.

@DuncanAbigaba @OfficerAlepx1f @MAAIF_Uganda @enockk256 @Novine_Farm @akajosh1 Tried Sanga Supa? (3 classes in one bottle)

@UEDCLTD @natherine2003 We are back on. Thank you

[Lugave 101 @RainLugave]

@enockk256 True.
That's huge!
I'd have loved to know it's birth weight

@perch24 @anishmoonka @robneyer Hi Chris
Which part is fabricated?
Asking as someone from the Equator who's never seen an apple orchard.

[Lawyer @UGLawyer]

Mabirizi in Prison B'se he pissed off a certain judge. Besigye in Prison B'se he's against M7. Bobi in exile B'se he challenged M7 in elections. Lukwago in prison B'se he wanted to serve the Purported CDF. Tabz in prison B'se he exposes the corrupt.

Is this still a Country??

There is no winner in a sinking boat. We shall all pay the ultimate price.The earlier we all get back to our senses, we shall perish like fools

Stop blaming low milk yields.
Start blaming zero pasture management.

MBAZARDI is scaling 50+ acres of improved forages with lined planting for weeding, manuring, watering & harvesting.
Commercial dairy starts in the field, not the kraal. #PastureFirst #DairyUG

[Armstrong @armstrongsenior]

Car guy to car guy, don’t head out without assessing the fluid levels of your car. Top up those that need topping up, check your brakes, and most importantly keep a cool head as you drive out.

Our colleagues on the opposite side forget that when it rains, we all get wet.
That’s the reality of problematic laws. Even those who were chanting “Aye” will be affected at some point.
The day of reckoning eventually comes!

We shall never see the Uganda we want until we develop a central nervous system that enables us to feel each other's pain.
