I wrote an essay about #Uganda-n #arts: what's been, what is, what could be; and my ambitious hope for our generation. Writing this essay challenged me in ways I didn't know it would. I hope it challenges and inspires other creative artists. Read, let me know your thoughts!

“As a generation, our work is cut out for us: we have a responsibility to retrieve the arts from the jaws of both the leopard and capitalist structures.”

Imagine arguing with these ones

[william @wokaen]

Before we went on strike, I’d worked 6 months without pay. Many a day of which, I worked past 48 hour non stop shifts.
We were told no striking intern would be signed off for completion. We returned and most completed without being paid.
I was the single intern for the surgical unit, so I covered surgical procedures both day and night cases, the accident and emergency unit as well as review clinics.
I saw my supervisor once in the three months I was posted to surgical services.
There was no senior doctor.
Deciding not pay interns , means upcountry and referral hospitals are at risk of not being professionally covered .
Please pay Medical Interns .

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

I’m afraid we’re being outnumbered by the sheer number of foolish people in this country.

[Edna Ninsiima @BeingEdna]

This is the regime some of you are lending your intellectual labor, btw. This is the calibre of ministers you want us to believe are very, very, very, very different from their ‘unsuspecting, innocent’ appointing authority.

Galatians!

@SueNsibirwa do we need a legal fund to teach someone a lesson?
My 100k contribution is there 😁
This nonsense needs to be stopped.

[Edna Ninsiima @BeingEdna]

Perhaps the most disturbing trait of a corrupt system, is an addiction-like commitment to taking and taking…until what’s left is ruins and tattered souls. It is reminiscent of biblical descriptions of the very devil on an insatiable prowl to devour EVERYTHING. #paymedicalinterns

[Parliament Watch @pwatchug]

🇺🇬 Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja, Kakumiro District Woman MP, has moved a motion seeking approval to expand the number of Cabinet Ministers from 21 to 30.

The motion also seeks approval to increase the number of other Ministers from 21 to 51.

MPs are now deciding the size and structure of the Executive that will serve in the new government.

I don’t know who needs to hear this;
I’m not a politician who used to be a musician, I’m a musician who is also a political leader!

One of the bigger challenges of navigating Kampala is the alarmingly high number of maddeningly low EQs.

[Robert Kalyesubula,MD, FISN(USA), PhD-FRCP(London) @rkalyes1]

🔥 Please prioritize the medical interns!

[Edna Ninsiima @BeingEdna]

It is an absolute privilege to be in possession of a mind that’s capable of elaborately translating original human brain thought into the written word.

[stony morrison, PhD @rrandolphjr]

Nah.

I love it when people who fancied me find their person…I told you I wasn’t the one for you and it’s good you listened.

Museveni's government pays 21.6 billion to mps every month but no money for medical interns

Museveni's government pays 166.8 billion to mps every 5 years to buy cars but no money for medical interns.

Museveni hates Ugandans ngl.

[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

Veteran opposition politician and four-time presidential contender Dr. Kizza Besigye, together with co-accused Obeid Lutale and Capt. Denis Oola returned to court today. The judge reprimanded the prosecution for failing to serve the defence lawyers with case documents and ordered them to effect service immediately in court. The trio faces charges, including treason. #NTVNews

one of my most neurodivergent qualities is that i actually believe ppl when they say they’re gonna do something

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

The ideas that resources and production should benefit everyone rather than enriching a few wasn't invented by Marx.

Long before him, African traditions like Ubuntu, Ujamaa, and communal land ownership were already based on the principle that the community comes first.

[Edna Ninsiima @BeingEdna]

Laughable, to say the least.

[Ubuntu Times @ubuntutimesUg]

Bebe Cool reveals that he was the PEOPLE POWER MOVEMENT. According to the Gagamel boss, two white foreigners approached him and sold him the idea of destabilizing the government but he rejected it. They then decided to go with Bobi Wine as their second choice 🙆🏿🙆🏿
