She isn't wrong. Cartoons have no business having LGBTQIA characters, as it is cartoons are what shapes children's mind and they mimick what they see cartoons doing.
Dear Lord,
As we mark #6YearsOfNUP today, we thank you for every blessing, every victory and every insight you have given us. The journey thus far has been filled with tears, relentless setbacks, heartaches, and roadblocks, and yet you have been with us through it all. THANK YOU.
Forgive us where we have fallen short, especially those times when we have sought to rely on our own abilities and not looked up to you.
We place into your hands the souls of those we have lost and pray that you give strength to those who have been injured, those in detention, and those who are missing. Give grace to their families.
We place our future in thy hands. Victory is our desire - a New Uganda our ultimate goal. Be with us till we get there. Grant wisdom, fortitude and courage to all our leaders and members at all levels - more so, to our leader @HEBobiwine.
Bless our country Uganda and its great people.
Amen!
For all those who have specialized in breaking our Constitution with impunity, I urge you to deeply reflect on your unconstitutional and wrongful actions and stop taking our country in a direction that not only jeopardizes we the living citizens but also the unborn.
Let each Ugandan individually and collectively recommit to rebuilding a Uganda where each one of us irrespective of their sex, race, colour, ethnic origin, tribe, birth, creed or religion, social or economic standing, political opinion, or disability, can:
Live in peace and enjoy the rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Enjoy equal rights and equal access to justice.
Receive equal service from all our public institutions, irrespective of their economic or social status or any other circumstance.
Freely speak up regarding the governance of their dear country at all levels and the right for their concerns to be addressed in a timely and respectful manner in accordance with the Constitution of Uganda.
Freely associate with fellow Ugandans regarding matters affecting us individually and collectively.
Live in a country where the corrupt are brought to justice and where any property or illegally gotten wealth is confiscated and the proceeds are placed in an identifiable national fund and utilized to fund designated, agreed-upon national priorities.
Enjoy a clean, safe, and healthy environment to support us and future generations and which will enable Uganda to continue to be the food basket that supports us and our neighbors.
Access quality education.
Earn a dignified living and be gainfully employed—whether through employment, entrepreneurship, farming, professional practice, skilled trades, craftsmanship, creativity, innovation, or any other lawful economic activity.
Live peacefully with their families in their homes.
Have their lawfully acquired property protected by law and safeguarded from land grabbers.
Let the dead rest peacefully in their graves.
I call upon all my fellow Ugandans of goodwill to join me to advocate for this Uganda which we all deserve.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY
Retired Justice Dr. Esther Kitimbo Kisaakye

I had taken a break from X for personal reasons, but I have been compelled to come back because of my duties as a citizen of Uganda. I speak not only on my behalf but also on behalf of all those fellow Ugandans who are not able to do so due to circumstances beyond their control. To continue remaining silent would be a gross betrayal of my hardworking late parents, who never denied me an opportunity for education as a girl child. Remaining silent would also be a betrayal of our forefathers and foremothers - (the deceased hardworking Ugandan citizens), whose sweat and taxes supported and paid for my Advanced Secondary Education at Trinity College Nabbingo, my three-year legal training at Makerere University, one year at the Law Development Centre, and also partially supported my Doctoral studies in Law for two years.
During the period I have not made any new posts on X, I have continued to follow the events going on in our dear country, Uganda, which have received national and international coverage. These events continue to depict and project the continued erosion of constitutionalism, the rule of law, respect for human rights, and equal and timely access to justice. I’m deeply saddened by all those who have chosen to take us back on the journey which we resolved and declared to be behind us in 1995 when we adopted our Constitution of Uganda. The Preamble to our Constitution reads as follows:
“WE THE PEOPLE OF UGANDA:
Recalling our history which has been characterised by political and constitutional instability;
Recognising our struggles against the forces of tyranny, oppression and exploitation;
Committed to building a better future by establishing a socio-economic and political order through a popular and durable national Constitution based on the principles of unity, peace, equality, democracy, freedom, social justice and progress;
Exercising our sovereign and inalienable right to determine the form of governance for our country, and having fully participated in the Constitution-making process;
Noting that a Constituent Assembly was established to represent us and to debate the Draft Constitution prepared by the Uganda Constitutional Commission and to adopt and enact a Constitution for Uganda;
Do hereby, in and through this Constituent Assembly, solemnly adopt, enact and give to ourselves and our posterity, this Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, this 22nd day of September, in the year 1995.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY”
I would like to thank all my fellow citizens who continue to do the right thing and continue to uphold our Constitution, and I encourage you to continue in those footsteps. Let’s not give up on our dear country, Uganda.
