1970s: This ARPANET thing is really useful for sharing research papers!
2026: You can easily get any piece of information on the internet, unless it's a research paper, because they're the most paywalled things in the universe.
Dictators rule like padlocks on sandals: heavy, visible, and guarding almost nothing. Power that must be chained in public is already insecure in private.
“Death by government mediocrity”- why isn’t this recognized as an official cause of death in African countries … IMHO this is the single greatest cause of death in Africa 🔥🔥🔥🤔🤔😭😭😭😳😳😳
#Kiteezi was a foreseeable disaster and could have been avoided. Lives could have been saved. We are told now that it was all because of a lack of money. I think it was a case of wrong priorities. People died, and that calls for a homicide inquiry. 2/
Uganda's problem is not ideas or policies.
Our leaders knows exactly what they need to do. They have the technical expertise, both local and foreign. They have the papers and the research. They have done the benchmarking a million times.
The problem is simple: they don't care.
They had names, loved ones, dreams, aspiration and places to be. They were like us, and we are like them - as the famous plaque in the Capuchin Crypt (where the bones of thousands of monks are displayed) says "What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.” 1/
When they call all of us ‘our children’ or ‘Bazukulu,’ they are seeking to alter our relationship with the State. All of us are citizens in equal measure and terms - non above others - at least when talking about the governance of the country.
It is patronizing and quite candidly condescending to think of citizens as one would their children and grandchildren. Altering our relationship with those in power or anything other citizens is illegal and disingenuous. We all must reject it.
We are citizens, not your children or grandchildren and demand to be treated as such. those in public office - elected or appointed- hold those offices in delegated capacity. They are our servants and must serve the public interest.
THE MATRIX was released 25 years ago today. Acclaimed as both one of the great science fiction movies and a groundbreaking action film, the behind-the-scenes story will have you questioning reality…

There are those who would want us to shy away from standing with the orphans & widow's who gave testimonies just because they are associated with NUP. That won't happen.1.They are human beings & citizens first before they belong to any party. Such, people are worth disappointing.
