Our comrades are supposed to be brought to the Kanyanya Magistrates Court today for their case. Hoping the presiding magistrate will not again find another excuse to be absent. Lest we forget, these comrades have spent over 180 days illegally on remand and hence qualify for mandatory bail as they grapple with these trumped up charges of ‘unlawful drilling.’

In a country with a serious government, these three individuals @AAgather, @SpireJim and @GodwinTOKO would be awarded national honours for opening the lid and blowing the whistle on the grand corruption that was taking place in Parliament. I can't help but remember the kind of vitriol they received from regime apologists for releasing details of shocking transactions of billions landing on personal accounts. At the highest level, they were branded traitors and agents of foreigners.
Today, the same facts they revealed are stated in court documents. Even when the regime continues to harass them for their work, this moment provides all of us a lesson that when you remain consistent at doing the right thing, you'll most certainly be vindicated at the right time.
Relieved to learn that Hon. Miria Matembe has been granted bail following her abduction last week. It remains a shame that Matembe, a 73-year-old grandmother with an unblemished record of public service, had to suffer this ordeal in the first place!
Remember, Matembe was subjected to this ordeal because she bruised the fragile ego of Muhoozi Kainerugaba -- the dictator's infantile son -- when she criticized him. It really takes special cowardice for an army commander approaching 60 years of old age to flex State power on a defenceless grandmother whose courage he can never match in 100 lifetimes.
More shameful, the regime that practices sectarianism openly charged Matembe with "Promoting Sectarianism."
Imagine the very regime that breathes and practises sectarianism, claiming the moral authority to prosecute those who expose its sectarianism!
We shall have to unite and find a lasting solution for these blood-thirsty tyrants!
@UCC_ED Ugandans are aware.
@AnitahAmong are you still not a victim?
You had the power, the time and the chance to at least curb the monster but you chose arrogance.
Worse enough your successor started exactly where you ended, we don't learn do we?
No one is safe until we're all safe.
Back in Nov 2016, after Elwelu led a military raid on the Rwenzururu palace where hundreds of guards and helpers were killed, Andrew Felix Kaweesi(RIP) the then police spokesperson came on TV bragging that, over 41 palace guards have been neutralized(taken out of action) by the security forces.
That same week he appeared on NBS TV frontline talk show with Miria Matembe who knowingly or unknowingly appeared to have cast a spell on Kaweesi's life. As they say, the rest is history

28th June 2026 | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT ON THE CLOSURE AND MILITARY SIEGE OF UGANDAN MEDIA HOUSES AFFILIATED TO THE NATION MEDIA GROUP
The National Unity Platform strongly condemns the military’s arbitrary closure and continuing siege of @ntvuganda, The @DailyMonitor, @sparktvuganda, @DembeFm, and other media houses under the @NationMediaGrp that started at dawn today Sunday, 28th June 2026.
The closure, enforced outside any known legal framework, is a primitive attack on press freedom and the citizens’ right to access information -- moreover by a regime now committing even worse tyranny than what it supposedly sought to end when it waged the 1980s war.
We stand in solidarity with the journalists, editors, staff, leadership and audience of the affected media houses, and empathize with all who are going to bear the related economic losses.
We urge all citizens and institutions, particularly political actors and members of the civil society, to prepare for increased repression in the coming days owing to the deepening constitutional crisis in the country.
Historically, the determination of Ugandans to be free has outlasted every regime that thought it was powerful enough to stay forever or clever enough to mutate into another. We remain confident that this time, too, the people’s aspirations for a free and democratic country shall prevail.
END
Our comrades who are facing the trumped up charges of ‘unlawful drilling’ were supposed to return to the Kanyanya Court today for their matter but it has been pushed to July 3rd or beyond due to the ongoing solidarity peaceful demonstration announced by the Uganda Law Society.

Look at these thugs ,even after stuffing at Kyagalanyi polling station, NRM got 78 and clearly written in words, but in figures its 125
#KalangalaOnTheSpot
With impunity, the polling officers have been directly indulged in altering results contrary to what has been tallied by the people at the polling stations!
#KalangalaOnTheSpot
The broad daylight ballot stuffing as captured by vigilant citizens. This has been the order of the day at numerous polling stations! Soldiers, goons and even other security operatives were seen stuffing pre-ticked ballot papers in favor of the NRM candidate. Broad day shamelessness!
#KalangalaOnTheSpot
I’ve been seated on the ferry meant to go to Kalangala from Bukakata for close to two hours, but it has not set off.
I’m told there’s been an instruction not to set off because there is no “clearance” yet for me to proceed to Kalangala, where I’m meant to be one of the supervisors for our candidate Nampala Irene’s team in the by-election.
On the ground, we’ve been getting numerous reports of numberless cars moving to various polling stations, and reports of ballot staffing.
