NEWS: Amama Mbabazi wfie Jacqueline on what it means to lose power.

The Minister of State for Gender, Labour and Social Development in charge of Elderly Affairs, Jacqueline Mbabazi, reflected on life before her husband, former presidential candidate Amama Mbabazi, lost his powerful position in government and what happened to their lives up to the point things became normal.

Amama Mbabazi was prime minister until 2014, when he announced his presidential bid in the 2016 election.

Below is her full testimony, transcribed from her speech during the 10-day Cabinet induction retreat for newly appointed and returning ministers at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi.

I want to give a testimony about having power and losing it. I’m Jacqueline Mbabazi, the wife of former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, Secretary General of the mighty party, and Super Minister, and member of the revolution right from the beginning. Many, everything.

I wake up in the morning, one morning, and all of a sudden, somebody is withdrawing the entire security. Oh my God. The cars are gone.

The children are running around asking what’s going on. You sleep in a home where you don’t even have a dog because you’ve never thought of owning one... Security gone. The former Prime Minister became the driver... I’m giving you the real-life experience. I used to shop in New York and London. And so many of you are thinking of shopping there... Now this lesson we have today, emotional intelligence, is extremely important. You will not believe that I had to go to Kihihi. Kihihi is a small town in Kanungu District. Find a tailor to make me some nice dresses.

This is real.
But the beauty of it all is that I brought myself to that level. And I thank God for putting me at that level. When I started putting on my nice bitenges of 70,000 shillings.

And I was really very smart and happy. Hon Members, permanent secretaries, we also need to work on our families. When I was in that situation, I went to a small party.
And at that small party... family, family things. And I met there two nice kids.

One was five years, another one was three.
And I asked them, oh, whose children are you? Cute girl. We are children of the minister, they said. Oh, which minister? You don’t know the minister? That statement by those kids disturbed me a lot.

As we look at ourselves, we need to look at our families also and bring them to that level. As we deal with our emotional intelligence, let’s also train our children.

Not to think that they are up there. Today, before I get more security, because now I’m minister, my security are two nice dogs. Two very good dogs.
And they have kept this security. There may be one policeman here, there, there. Not bothered, because these days you can get some that are not even good enough.

So, let’s also prepare for that life. And to assure you, I’m not back because I miss the past. I’m back because of the conviction to help some vulnerable older persons of this country.
Mine was only to share that little experience. Thank you so much.

Chaos inside the Senegalese parliament after the controversial constitutional reform bill was voted in and contested by the supporters of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye in the assembly.

The reform bill reduces president's powers and strengthen parliamentary control over national budget and improve accountability.

The most fascinating part of the bill is that now Senegalese senior officials including the president have to declare their assets before taking the office and after leaving the office.

Guess who is behind the architect? The former prime minister Ousmane Sonko who is now the president of national assembly/parliament.

Good Morning Ugandans On X.

Please listen carefully, very carefully.

[Nicholas Opiyo (Pronouns He/Him) @nickopiyo]

If, or should I say when, the current status quo changes in Uganda, we’ll have to live with its proponents.

Besides the very few members of the ruling elite who can flee the country, the vast majority of its supporters have nowhere else to go. Uganda is our only home. They, and their families, will be here.

It therefore behooves the supporters of the current establishment to take a long-term view, and to educate themselves, that patriotism is not a forced love of the country, but our ability to accommodate each other in our diversity - knowing that power is transient, a revolving door - and that our collective security lies in our abilities to accommodate each other.

Today’s Muhoozi’s are tomorrow’s Malyamungus (Amin’s dreaded henchman), today’s Birungis (now Otto -the (in)famous CMI) are tomorrow’s Rwakasis or Buturus (Obote’s vicious enforcers).

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we must learn to live together as brothers (and sisters) or perish as fools.

This decision is a powerful reminder that institutions must be bound by their own representations and decisions. Once a university admits a student on the express basis that transferred credits have been recognized, it cannot, on the eve of graduation, reverse course and impose new academic requirements that were never communicated at admission.

The judgment reinforces three important principles of administrative law: legality, procedural fairness, and legitimate expectation. If a certificate of equivalence was required, the university had a duty to communicate that requirement clearly and in writing from the outset. A student cannot reasonably be expected to discover and comply with undisclosed conditions years into a programme.

Equally significant is the court's finding that private universities exercising public educational functions are amenable to judicial review. Educational institutions wield enormous power over students' futures and must therefore exercise that power transparently, rationally, and fairly.

The award of UGX 100 million in general damages sends a strong message that administrative injustice in the education sector has real consequences and that students are entitled not only to fair treatment but also to effective remedies when that treatment is denied.

"In the war of egos the loser always wins" No one has come out stronger than the amiable outgoing Minister of state for Internal Affairs Gen.Hon.David Muhoozi. Rarely see such uproar to fit in the shoes of this modest man.Very tall order,we must reflect,learn,unlearn and relearn.

"Ministry of Justice gives Sudhir Ruparelia 450 million shillings in rent.

The Ministry of ICT gives Sudhir 320 million.

The Ministry of Gender at Simbamanyo pays Sudhir 250 million.

The Anti-Corruption Court in Kololo gives Sudhir 180 million shillings per month.

The Ministry of East African Affairs pays Sudhir 280 million shillings at Kingdom.

The Equal Opportunities Commission pays Sudhir 86 million shillings at Kingdom.

Ministry of Internal Affairs pays another 60 million shillings because of some other small departments.

Parliament of Uganda pays 860 million shillings to Sudhir every month.

Presidential advisors, these ones, Amelia Kyambadde, Kintu, Sara Kyingi, who sit at Kingdom, every month they pay 66 million shillings in rent.

Uganda Revenue Authority pays Sudhir 300 million shillings for a warehouse on Kampala Road.

The Electoral Commission pays 300 million shillings to Sudhir for a warehouse in Ntinda.

Which means, if you total this, that every month government pays Sudhir every month 2.9 billion shillings.

Which translates into 97 million shillings per day, and 4 million shillings per hour, and 600,000 per minute. So every minute, Sudhir collects 600,000 from government"

This data was spoken by Hon. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda sometime back.

[Hussein Kashillingi @hkashillingi]

@ReachDrMuganga is undermining a legitimate debate by framing it as discrimination against him as a Munyarwanda. That is not the issue. An expired passport does not mean one ceases to be a citizen; a passport is merely a travel document. Many Ugandan citizens do not even hold passports.

The real issue is straightforward: if you acquired Rwandan citizenship while working in Rwanda, Canadian citizenship while in Canada, and later Ugandan citizenship, then simply state the facts as they are. There is nothing inherently wrong with holding multiple citizenships. The question is whether Uganda’s Constitution and laws permit a person with that citizenship history to hold certain offices, including that of Minister. That is the debate—not ethnicity.
