WHEN MOB JUSTICE TRANSITIONS INTO VIGILANTISM AND BECOMES A CORE PILLAR OF A CORRUPT STATE THAN JUST A SYMPTOM OF INSTITUTIONAL FAILURES- The case of BODA-BODA IMPUNITY AND VIOLENCE:

When we look at the BODA-BODA IMPUNITY in the Country, especially in Kampala, and the Political vigilantee groups now emerging, which torment/kill Political opponents or commercial rivals, you see something monstrous, beyond the so-called "symptom of institutional/judiciary,police, failures. You see MOB VIOLENCE which is growing into an ALTERNATIVE INFORMAL JUSTICE SYSTEM of sorts.
So, if we are not careful, this lack of PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY and the NORMALISATION OF VIOLENCE AND IMPUNITY by both those holding power and the POPULATION can wreak havoc on the country.

And then can easily descend into high stakes criminality of the magnitude capable of causing the collapse of the FORMAL STATE. In those situations, the Country SECURITY SERVICES become compromised and you get situations like we see in Nigeria where the Population is at the mercy of armed militias, South Africa where armed bandits patrol streets; saw it in CAR,etc. And if uncontrolled, then you can get a HAITI, A COLOMBIA, etc. So we need to be tough on these groups but also address the underlying causes.

@wekesa_amos @roxie_ug I honestly think the Americans are sending a message to our leadership. And it has nothing to do with all those factors mentioned. We are not strategically aligned and that’s just it. Uganda is nolonger that country.

There are moments when life tests a person's strength beyond what most of us can imagine.

My friend, @rwamu_ had just completed his law degree when he suffered a stroke. Many feared the worst. Some thought his dreams had come to an end. But through pain, uncertainty, and years of recovery, he has remained remarkably strong, determined, and hopeful.

Today, there is a smile on his face again. There is progress. There is hope.
When the call came , all of us that knew this fine legal brain, kindred spirit set in.
I want to sincerely thank the friends let by @SilverKayondo , classmates, and well-wishers who have stood by him. Because of your generosity, land for a wheelchair-accessible home wss purchased in Manyangwa, Gayaza, and the title successfully transferred.

Now comes the next step: building the home.

For Mwene, this is more than a house. It is dignity. It is accessibility. It is independence. It is a place from which he can continue his recovery journey in safety and comfort.

I am therefore appealing to all friends, colleagues, members of the legal fraternity, and every person of goodwill to contribute whatever they can. No contribution is too small. Together, we can help a young man who has fought so courageously rebuild his life. @Atukundaisaac1

Mwene's story is a reminder that while a stroke may change a life, it does not have to destroy a dream.

@mkainerugaba @I_Rugambwa And yet you proactively protect the crooks like Mawanda. Shame on you! Shame on PLU!

[David Waiswa @david_lufafa]

@ubctvuganda I would have loved if he mentioned what and where they did go wrong. These blanket statements don’t make for an apology.

Haven’t seen a single video from Rwanda. Should have been Visit Uganda on the shirt sleeves.

[Alan Kasujja @kasujja]

Working in government has reminded me how little I like meetings.

10-15 minutes max is enough time to land it. Otherwise what are we talking about?

When I don’t have to go around looking for resources to support our work, I’ll concentrate on creating and strategy.

[Ivan Rugambwa🇺🇬 @I_Rugambwa]

This casual disregard for facts & the truth by Western Media while reporting on Africa is actually racist. Journalistic standards of truth & accuracy, rigorously applied elsewhere, are cavalierly jettisoned when it comes to Africa with no sense of accountability whatsoever.

[Amos Wekesa @wekesa_amos]

UGANDANS,

THANK YOU FOR THE PUSH BACK ON THESE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA HOUSES.

PROGRESS IS ON THE WAY

[Nada Andersen @NadaAndersen]

There’s no need for the “outside enemy” narrative. State the facts, we all move on. Uganda has no registered cases of Ebola. Two imported cases have been resolved. We have the world’s best healthcare experts in Ebola Response. We are in safe hands!

UGANDA GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN: DON’T HAVE EBOLA IN THE COUNTRY, CONGOLESE PATIENT WE HAVE BEEN TREATING HAS TESTED NEGATIVE

[Alan Kasujja @kasujja]

We all have a stake in ensuring that the parasites that benefit from maligning Uganda do not win.

Zero cases of Ebola in #Uganda.

No one in Uganda has tested positive for #Ebola

[Alan Kasujja @kasujja]

As we talk now, we don’t have Ebola in the country. Even the Congolese patient we have been treating has tested negative.

@DianaAtwine - PS Ministry of Health #Uganda

[Alan Kasujja @kasujja]

This is #Uganda’s truth about #Ebola

A Congolese national continues to undergo treatment after testing positive.

She was linked to the first case of a Congolese man who’d travelled to the country for treatment, died and was confirmed to have had the virus.

His body was sent back to the DRC.

Health workers and others who interacted with the two cases were traced and are now in isolation- being monitored.

None of them has so far tested positive for Ebola.

There are no local infections.

Meaning, no Ugandan or person living in Uganda has Ebola.

That’s our truth.
