CORRECTION: The AG is the principal legal adviser to Government & a Cabinet Minister appointed by the President.
The National Bar (@ug_lawsociety) is independent & elects its own Leader.
Ipso facto—you are not Head of the Bar.

In a constitutional system where the Attorney General serves as chief gov’t lawyer while the legal profession (the Bar) maintains statutory autonomy as an independent pillar of justice, what is the exact boundary between legitimate executive authority and impermissible interference with the Bar’s independence??
Specifically: Does any constitutional or statutory provision or necessary implication of the AG’s office allow the Attorney General to claim the title “Head of the Bar”?? If the Bar rejects this as incompatible with its self-governance, what are the enforceable limits on resolving the conflict without undermining the rule of law, separation of powers or public confidence in justice??
Ndugu @IsaacSsemakadde, what the new A-G calls himself shouldn't be a major contradiction to fight over at this time. Suppose there is a ceasefire and an engagement of sorts with the new A-G? Costs nothing brother! You have a Constiency to represent and a People to serve. Leadership isn't linear; winds and turns......Just saying.
💯 This is not random vigilantism by civilians. The masks, the coordinated arrival on bodas, the seamless handover to a waiting vehicle & the overall choreography all point to a joint operation involving the UPF, the ISO and the CMI. These 3 agencies routinely work together on sensitive or high-risk arrests precisely b’se they can combine police powers with intelligence gathering and military-style execution.
Absolutely Canary, Clearly the video shows a group of boda riders restraining and handing over a man demonstrating how these civilians directly assist in apprehensions…

@CalebBantu I don’t know if they are civilians. But if you watch the full video, they come on bodas but with masks on. Later apprehend the suspect into a waiting car.

Heroes know freedom comes with duty. And nations survive by remembering them.
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
We honor our heroes today.

Hon. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda,
With respect, before you continue the familiar routine of blaming President Museveni for every national challenge, let’s have an honest conversation about your own 15-year record as Kira Municipality MP.
You served from 2011 to 2026 - A solid decade and a half in Parliament. You had access to constituency funds, oversight roles, committee positions, national platforms, media invitations, and the ability to propose bills, motions & practical interventions..
What specific, tangible solutions did you deliver on the very issues you now highlight of; Food insecurity affecting 20 million Ugandans, Households in one-room homes, Firewood dependence, Lack of basic clothing, Graduate unemployment etc….
As a vocal opposition voice, what bills did you successfully champion and pass to address these at the local or national level? What constituency projects in Kira demonstrated a different model of leadership.. better farming cooperatives, skills programs, energy alternatives or job creation initiatives that your constituents could point to as your legacy??
The people of Kira voted you out in the 2026 elections, handing the seat to another candidate. You yourself acknowledged they gave you 15 years and perhaps it was time to step aside. What does that vote signify?? In a constituency full of aware, URBAN VOTERS, it suggests they wanted more than articulate criticism of the central government. They wanted visible results on the ground - jobs, services, development they could feel in their daily lives.
Leadership isn’t just about highlighting problems on X or TV (problems that exist across many African countries with similar governance and demographic pressures). It’s about what you build or fix with the power and time entrusted to you. Opposition MPs in many democracies still deliver constituency-level impact while critiquing nationally.
Uganda faces real development hurdles - No serious person denies that. But shifting all accountability solely to one man after 41 years, while glossing over the collective responsibility of Parliament (including long-serving members like yourself), doesn’t inspire confidence. It sounds like the same political theater Ugandans are tired of.
Focus on practical solutions you offered (or will now offer outside Parliament) rather than recycled blames. That would command more respect. The people ultimately judge leaders by outcomes in their lives, not just speech-making..
