I was honoured to receive the Archbishop Joseph Kiwanuka Medal at Lubaga Cathedral during the celebration of 60yrs of Kampala Archdiocese.
The medal recognises the demonstration of Christian virtues through the promotion of servant leadership, social justice, and the common good.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the Archbishop and the entire leadership of Kampala Archdiocese for this honour.

Story #45:
It’s January 2014. A sick little boy visits Victoria Medical Centre. As a nurse injects him, he moves, pricking her finger. She uses the same needle on him. The nurse is arrested on live television, humiliated and thrown in jail.
This is the Story.
A THREAD 🧵
X SPACE🎙️| : #RIPMatovu, Section 86 and Busiro South, Petition Debate
Should a public question about military interference in elections abate because the petitioner died?
The legal battle involving Hon. Charles Matovu and Hon. Kenan Opio concerning the Busiro South constituency came to an abrupt end on 22 October 2026 due to the sudden death of the petitioner, former MP Charles Matovu.
We vow to challenge Section 86 of the Parliamentary Elections Act which provides that an election petition abates (ends) on the death of the sole petitioner.
On Monday, 26 October 2026, at 7pm, we will discuss if Section 86 is unconstitutional and therefore void under Article 2.

This morning, we also checked on Jeremiah, comrade Olivia Lutaaya's son at school on his Visitation Day. We hope that comrade Olivia will return from prison at the end of next week and get to reunite with Jeremiah and the rest of her family. Once again, we're super grateful to everyone who contributes towards the education requirements for the children of political prisoners.

MY RESPONSE TO THE VICE CHANCELLOR AND KYAMBOGO UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION.
I have received numerous comments from students 👨🎓regarding how the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Katunguka, the Dean of Students, Mr. Mugume Bright and the Chief Security Officer, Mr. Allan, have continuously attacked me publicly, character assassinating me and portraying me as a bad example within the student community and nationally.
Despite being expelled as Guild President, I chose to remain silent, keep away from these provocations and continue with my life.
I want to sincerely thank the students who have always spoken well of me and defended me in my absence. May the Lord bless you 🙏🙏abundantly.
This morning, I woke up a bit late for the 6:30 AM Mass at Namugongo Catholic Shrine ⛪️, which was almost ending by 7:30 AM. I therefore opted for the second Mass in Luganda, celebrated by Rev. Fr. Mayega Ponsiano
His preaching was extraordinary. He reminded us that Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments into two:
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
2. Love ❤️ your neighbour as you love yourself.
He also shared the story of Alexander the Great, who, despite his great wealth and power, left a will stating that upon his death, great doctors should carry his coffin, all his silver and gold should be scattered on the roads for people to walk on and he should be buried with his hands 🙌 open. When asked why, he said: All titles - professor 👨🏫 , president, doctor 👨⚕️ , minister - all riches, buildings, vehicles and money will remain on earth. The only treasure we go with is the treasure of LOVE ❤️.
That preaching touched me deeply and it has compelled me to respond.
Whatever I did as Guild President, I did out of LOVE ❤️ for the students of Kyambogo University - many of whom come from poor families where parents have to sell land, cattle 🐄 or take loans just to afford quality education.
What is wrong with asking management to allow students who have paid 70% of tuition to sit for exams?
What is wrong with asking management to waive the UGX 50,000 surcharge imposed on students for delayed tuition payment?
What is wrong with demanding accountability for the money students pay, for not functioning ���?
Students pay UGX 30,000 for medical examination and another UGX 30,000 for medical subscription. What is the purpose of the medical examination fee for freshers when it only involves measuring weight and blood 🩸 pressure? Is that worth UGX 30,000? UGX 30,000 x 20,000 students = UGX 600,000,000 (600 Million). Where does this money go?
We pay UGX 50,000 for admission. With 20,000 students admitted every academic year, that totals UGX 1 Billion, excluding those who apply and are not admitted. When I demanded accountability for that one billion, I was told it is spent on an admission ceremony which does not even cost UGX 20 Million - a fact students 👨🎓can witness and testify to. When I suggested that this money should be used to construct lecture halls and purchase buses branded "2026/2027 Academic Year," the response was to expel me.
In conclusion, the treasure of LOVE ❤️ I had and still for Kyambogo University students is what led to my expulsion.
I now leave Prof. Katunguka, Mr. Mugume Bright and Mr. Allan to the hands of Almighty God.

Just received very disturbing news concerning the abrupt passing of our brother, comrade and fellow leader, Hon. Charles Matovu, who served as Member of Parliament for Busiro South in the last Parliamentary term and had his victory robbed on gunpoint in the January election. Very shocking news!May God strengthen all of us.
