Dual citizenship and the law. What happens if Parliament refuses to approve a presidential appointment. What remedies are there? https://t.co/MzYZHWtRnu
I come from a district (Ntungamo) where one or two out of every ten people you meet are of Rwandan ethnicity but no one is judged based on their ethnic background. I have never seen or ever heard of it.
This sense of entitlement displayed by a small group of self seekers (Frank Gashumba and his friend Dr. Lawrence Muganga) who believe they can advance their ambitions by playing the tribal card, reflects a poverty of ideas and a misplaced belief that tribal sentiment can override the law and the constitutional order.
One of the greatest achievements under President Museveni has been the promotion of a Uganda that rises above tribal divisions and embraces national unity.
If Dr. Muganga badly wants to become a minister, he should focus on addressing the real issues that may be standing in his way, rather than resorting to tribal narratives. Public offices should be attained in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of Uganda, which guarantee equal opportunity to all citizens regardless of tribe, ethnicity, religion or place of origin.
Hon. @DaudiKabanda, with due respect, I must set the record straight. I do NOT hold a Rwandan passport. This is a deliberate falsehood introduced by Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, and the truth must be told.
We have it ON RECORD — Hon. @Thomas_Tayebwa’s own words: “In every vetting session we have to fail someone, and this time it had to be you, Dr. Muganga.” Read that again. This rejection was decided before the process even began. It was never about passports, qualifications, or integrity. It was personal. It was calculated. It was discriminatory. And in due course, we shall release the audio that proves it. Stay tuned.
Hon. Kabanda, what I experienced in that committee was not parliamentary oversight. It was hatred. It was discrimination. It was racism, directed at me simply because I am a Munyarwanda.
Let me be clear: We Banyarwanda are Ugandans. We were born here. We pay taxes here. We build institutions here. We have given our lives to serve this nation. I personally have spent decades working tirelessly for Uganda, conducting thousands of interviews, engaging with thousands of people, sitting in hundreds of boardroom meetings across 56 countries. In all those years and in all those rooms, I have never once encountered the kind of hostility that Hon. Tayebwa directed at me. Not once. And to this day, I cannot understand the depth of hatred he carries toward Banyarwanda. I do not have to take my word for it. Ask the other members of the Appointment Committee, including those from the Opposition side. They were there. They witnessed it.
So I ask one simple question: what is Hon. Tayebwa so afraid of? What remains hidden that my presence at Internal Affairs would threaten to uncover?
Uganda belongs to ALL its citizens equally. Banyarwanda included. We are not second class citizens. We will not be treated as such. This selective and discriminatory application of the law must be called out loudly, and it must stop. The law is not a weapon to be aimed at one community of our own people.
We are Ugandan. We belong here. And we will not be silenced.

We still have the Witchcraft Act Cap 135.
In light of the latest developments in the country and accusations of witchcraft by politicians, and the supreme court decision in Salvatori versus AG, do you think someone can be successfully prosecuted under this Act?

@KansiimeDrare@mulemezi 😂😂😂 you guys want me to narrate for you the movie, the themes.. anyway, just know, the overarching themes in the movies are attitude, character and integrity.
While at campus, my good IP lecturer Fredrick Mpanga at MUK told me to watch the movie titled ‘Scent of a woman’ starring Al Pacino.
He also told me to watch coach Carter by Samuel L Jackson.
When i watched those movies, I understood why he told me to watch them.
