The proceedings before the criminal division of the High Court in the Besigye-Lutaale trials are a no-winner, moronic process supervised by (in)Justice Baguma.
The State-appointed lawyers DO NOT represent Besigye and Lutaale in any form or shape ( their report herein is instructive). Any attention to them in that regard is unwarranted, unfair, and unnecessary.
All attention may have to be turned on the trial judge, who seems robotic, unaware, or intentionally disregards due process/fair hearing - never seen an unwise and willfully incompetent fellow like him in judicial robes.
Justine Nameere, a ruling party MP and Special advisor to the president was also violently abducted the same way opposition supporters, activists and journalists are abducted almost in a daily basis. She now joins NUP supporters Agatha aka blue tick, Christopher aka King Zale, William and political activist Sam Mugumya who was abducted by the army almost 300 days ago, among others. NRM and indeed all Ugandans should join us to advocate for the restoration of the rule of law because no one will be immune to this anarchy.
“… a father held on some minor, obscure and yet unproven charges. The father was held in pre trial custody, denied bail long past the constitutionally permitted period for denial of liberty. what society treats its people like this? Team Judiciary, where are your Kityo’s and Wambuzi’s at this hour?” Justice Egonda-Ntende ends his speech at a special sitting honoring his 35 year service in the @JudiciaryUG on the this note in reference the injustice to the case of Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro who was denied bail to bury and mourn his wife with his children after being in detention without trial for the last 9 months. #JudiciaryOnTrial
Thank you @DailyMonitor for publishing Tegule’s reminiscences. Noble used to joke that he personified the NRM because those letters were also his initials - Noble Rwaboni Mayombo🤣 We lived in the same Hall - Mitchell and sat in the same class for three years. He was one of the five soldiers of the NRA who had returned from the bush to resume studies. Their five were inseparable. Their pentagon had Mayombo, Mugira, Turyatunga, Karemire and Bainomugisha. The opposite pentagon had Oulanyah, Kajubi-Ssepuuya, Othembi, Olok-Asobasi and I. When I first visited Mayombo’s room I found he had an oversized 6 inch mattress on a tiny bed. Apart from the usual legal tomes, his bookshelf was full of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Kim Il Sung, and other communist thinkers. I recall that Cuban revolutionary icons Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were his true role models. He could recite entire passages from Castro’s courtroom apologia - History Shall Absolve Me.
After the Guild race he refused to accept that his was a real loss. He claimed that it was due to a gap in the consciousness of the students who were confused about who can best serve their interests. He saw himself as a Daniel Ortega whose Sandinista Party overthrew the Samoza regime in Nicaragua but lost elections in 1990. I think Noble wanted to blunt the sting of the electoral loss. I told him that the students were actually aware of their interests that is why they voted for a candidate who was resisting the IMF/World Bank inspired structural adjustment policies that the NRM government had embraced lock, stock and barrel. This policy package forced developing countries like Uganda to carry out radical privatization programs and cut social spending. It was indeed a medicine whose side effects were worse than the disease it intended to cure!
Our disagreements never degenerated into personal conflicts. No wonder a few months after the elections, during the Annual Africa Week, we held a Mock OAU Summit (now AU), and Noble agreed to play the role of Libyan President Gadaffi! He gave a sterling performance. Another Guild contestant, Amon Muzoora played the role of the host President Museveni with Grace Rubaale as First Lady Janet Museveni. Such fora gave the students the opportunity to delve into policy debates and gain insight into the problems afflicting society.
On Tuesday 24th September 2025, our team from Kaabong clinic conducted a mobile session at Kaabong Magistrate Court.
They represented 19 accused persons.
Of these, 3 cases were dismissed, 2 resulted in community service, 2 led to 2 month prison terms and the rest were remanded
Today, I had the golden privilege of representing my #RadicalNewBar President, @IsaacSsemakadde, and our most doctrinally perpendicular Governing Council, as we joined @JudiciaryUG and the Law Council to preside over the enrollment of 114 new advocates of the High Court at the Judiciary Headquarters in Kampala.
In my remarks, I rallied the newly enrolled advocates to embrace the transformative ideals of the #RadicalNewBar: #Decolonization, #Demilitarization, #Democratization, and #DigitalTransformation.
I encouraged them to pursue an inspiring legal practice rooted in honesty, fairness, and a commitment to giving back to the people. I also emphasized the importance of subscribing to Uganda Law Society membership as a mark of professional identity and community.
Wishing each of them a fulfilling and impactful legal career ahead!
Yesterday, we joined a critical convening by @wougnet on safeguarding the digital rights of structurally silenced women in Uganda.
As we run a largely virtual mentorship program, we know firsthand how urgent digital safety is for women and girls.

Sweet liberty. Thank you friends, family, lawyers, activists, politicians, comrades and everyone who weighed in with prayers, solidarity, prison visits, legal interventions, money, counselling, cheers, songs, statements, demonstrations…
Your support over the three months of my illegal military ordered detention—simply because someone wanted me to apologise for doing my work—culminated in my liberty yesterday. I had a sound sleep. Still resting for some good days before I join you and we embark on the obvious causes. Let freedom reign. Let justice roll like a mighty stream.
Cheers!
Let me tell you a brief story. A man saves another from certain death. Years later, that same man betrays his savior.
Now, the doctor who once risked everything is sitting in a prison cell—punished by the very government he helped create.
Because power has no loyalty—only leverage.
A lesson in history, human nature, and survival. #FreeBesigye
