@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.

Before we say goodbye to former Uganda Parliament Speaker Anita Annet Among (AAA), who was brought down by a scandal over a very expensive Rolls-Royce “gift”, let us close with something about the car’s history.
The “Spirit of Ecstasy” is the iconic sculpted mascot that sits on the bonnet (hood) of every Rolls-Royce motor car. It depicts a woman leaning forward with her arms outstretched behind and above her. It was modelled after Eleanor Velasco Thornton (also known as Thorn), who was caught in a secret, passionate affair with the wealthy British aristocrat John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. Eleanor was Montagu’s secretary.
On 30 December 1915, Eleanor and Lord Montagu were travelling to India aboard the passenger steamship SS Persia when it was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Crete in the Mediterranean.
The ship sank in just five minutes. While Lord Montagu miraculously survived by clinging to a life raft, Eleanor drowned along with hundreds of others.
Pity we only paid attention to this now. We could have warned AAA that a Rolls-Royce is no car for a lady; its mascot is quite literally the tragic epitaph of a woman lost at sea. And, I can't resist this one: “The Thorn” would have been a fitting nickname indeed for Among.

Ochol's journey from the newsroom to the US Navy

Maurice Ochol did not simply change jobs or countries. He changed his understanding of what a meaningful life looks like. And in doing so, he offers a powerful lesson that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away from everything you have built and start again.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE UGANDA NEVER HAD

MWIRIAN

Justice Fredrick Egonda-Ntende

Judges, senior lawyers, and prosecutors on Thursday described retiring Court of Appeal justice Fredrick Egonda-Ntende as “the chief justice Uganda never had,” in recognition of his distinguished contribution to jurisprudence, judicial reforms, constitutionalism, and access to justice.

The remarks were made during a special sitting of the Court of Appeal, chaired by Justice Geoffrey Kiryabwire, to honour Egonda-Ntende ahead of his retirement from the judiciary after attaining the mandatory retirement age.

Egonda-Ntende was widely praised for a judicial career spanning more than four decades in Uganda and international jurisdictions, including Seychelles. Constitutional court justice Cheborion Barishaki told a fully packed courtroom that Egonda-Ntende possessed the qualities many believed suited him for the country’s top judicial office.

“In my view, and as senior counsel Kirunda said, you are the chief justice Uganda never had, whom we deserved to have had,” Barishaki said.

Before Barishaki’s remarks, senior advocate Robert Kirunda had told the court that many members of the legal fraternity believed Egonda-Ntende’s distinguished jurisprudence, integrity, and administrative record made him worthy of serving as chief justice.

“For his excellent jurisprudence and enviable administrative work, some members of the Bar believe justice Egonda-Ntende is the chief justice Uganda never had,” Kirunda said.

The special sitting evolved into a celebration not only of Egonda-Ntende’s legal scholarship and judicial reforms, but also of a career many described as defined by courage, humility, discipline, innovation, and unwavering fidelity to constitutionalism and the rule of law.

The go-to-indoors!

[Timothy Kalyegira @TimKalyegira]

The man of the hour.

The glassy-eyed stare. The black and white monochrome basics.

The man whose X timeline is now the most-watched news source in Uganda.

The hand of history always brings up such people to the Town Square exactly when the moment requires them.

Where were you on the 21st of July last year?

Well, on that day, A LOT of money was withdrawn from the parliamentary SACCO:

First, Scovia Kongai withdrew 500,000,000/=, then Joan Apolot withdrew 500,000,000/=, Apio Esther withdrew 500,000,000/=, Muzamil withdrew 400,000,000/= then Rachael Ainamasiko withdrew 400,000,000/=.

That wasn't it. Not yet! Gonzaga Mitimbo withdrew 400,000,000/=, Esther Afoyochan withdrew 400,000,000/=, then Okema Leonard withdrew 400,000,000/=, then came @ChrisObore1. He withdrew 220,000,000/=, then he came back the same day & took 160, 000,000/=. Okema returned and took 210,000,000/=, then Molly Ozelle took 50,000,000/= and Muzamil another 50,000,000/=.

So, within the 8 hours of that day’s work day, people close to the speaker withdrew at least 4,190,000,000/= - Four billion, one hundred and ninety million. All this money was signed for as for speaker’s outreach, for outreach by unnamed parliamentary commissioners, or for use to fulfil unfulfilled CSR pledges - in the case of Obore.

Interestingly, this was the time Speaker Among was busy in the thick of her campaigns for NRM’s CEC. As many will recall, A LOT of money was spent in voter bribery during that election to the point that even the deputy speaker decried the amount of money spent by candidates he didn't name. In the end, Among trounced Kadaga with a difference not often seen in our politics.
