If, or should I say when, the current status quo changes in Uganda, we’ll have to live with its proponents.
Besides the very few members of the ruling elite who can flee the country, the vast majority of its supporters have nowhere else to go. Uganda is our only home. They, and their families, will be here.
It therefore behooves the supporters of the current establishment to take a long-term view, and to educate themselves, that patriotism is not a forced love of the country, but our ability to accommodate each other in our diversity - knowing that power is transient, a revolving door - and that our collective security lies in our abilities to accommodate each other.
Today’s Muhoozi’s are tomorrow’s Malyamungus (Amin’s dreaded henchman), today’s Birungis (now Otto -the (in)famous CMI) are tomorrow’s Rwakasis or Buturus (Obote’s vicious enforcers).
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we must learn to live together as brothers (and sisters) or perish as fools.
Spent the day today at the @KiiraMotors Vehicle Plant in Jinja and was completely wowed! It's unbelievable the greatness there and what our country is capable of. 🙌🏿 Don't let anyone convince you that we're not making those buses and cars. We actually are.
🚨 Michael Carrick on fielding a strong team vs Brighton:
🗣️ Reporter:
“There’s nothing left to play for. A lot of people were surprised by such a strong lineup.”
🗣️ Carrick:
“And that mentality right there is exactly why some clubs never become elite. What do you mean there’s nothing to play for?
This is Manchester United. Since when did we start celebrating third place like it’s a trophy? If I can score 10 against Brighton, I will. Happily.
Not because I hate them… but because we don’t relax here.
Even at 3-0, you go for the fourth. Then the fifth. Then the sixth. We’ve picked up the most points in the league since I took charge… and I don’t plan on dropping that standard. Next season, people will understand what we’re building.”
Country Director - CBM Christian Blind Mission representative Jackie Kwesiga (@jquesiga) reaffirmed that every person deserves to live with dignity, realise their potential, and fully participate in society.
“Across the world, persons with disabilities are breaking barriers and redefining leadership, talent, and innovation. The conversation is shifting from limitations to possibilities.”
She encouraged young people to keep challenging stereotypes, pursuing their dreams, and inspiring change in their communities, reminding them that nothing is beyond their potential.

@Anite__Evelyn@AlikoDangote@nbstv@newvisionwire Great! This means more employment opportunities, wider tax base, increased GDP... albeit only problem has been this translating into quality service delivery on the part of government. We need better roads...btw which contribute major factors of production leading to investment!
Breaking News:
Intelligence is investigating the 2 marketing oil companies @VivoEnergyUg & @TotalEnergiesUG who are allegedly causing fuel shortages deliberatel by hoarding fuel as the deplete Ugandan reserves. It has so far been discovered that they 2 companies get fuel from @UNOC_UG and rechannel it to the Kenyan market where they are selling it expensively and telling Ugandans that they only have V-power which they sell at a higher price too. This operation is treated as a national security threat.
Shame on you @Shell & @TotalEnergies.
This driver has exposed and perhaps mostly emphasized what we all know that the roads are small. @UNRA_UG@MoWT_Uganda would you help put an end to road carnage! Separate and widen the lanes!
Also is the money for the other meters being swindled or the roads are designed this small? If yes, by who? What’s their motive?
