I woke up early and rushed to the newsroom to beat deadlines and later got engaged in the budget reading. Only this evening, when I finally checked my phone, I found a message from @mtnug wishing me a happy birthday, I didn’t even realize I had quietly leveled up another year!😂
Dear Ugandans on X,
I want to offer a sincere apology. My comment under Gen. Muhoozi’s post about Hon. Erias Lukwago was careless and insensitive. The timing was wrong, and the tone was wrong.
I understand that many of you are worried, upset, and angry right now because of his arrest. This is a serious moment for our country, and for a family that is waiting for answers. In that context, my words about “a teacher of English” made light of something that deserves respect and concern. I see that now.
I did not intend to hurt anyone or dismiss the pain people are feeling. But I’ve learned that intention does not change impact. My comment caused pain, and for that I am truly sorry. Ugandans deserve better from each other online, especially when we’re talking about freedom, justice, and human dignity.
I’ve read your replies and I’m taking them to heart. I’m reflecting on how I show up in these conversations. We can disagree, we can debate, but we must never lose empathy for one another.
Please accept my apology. I will be more thoughtful going forward.
