"...it is nolonger about continuity being a neutral concept-President Museveni needs to have a sharp choice of policy with justification on why Ugandans should be confident that things will be better..."-@SarahBireete on @933kfm #DmightyBreakfast with @beewol

.@SarahBireete wishes the money saved from public holiday celebrations could go to medical interns because it is almost the same amount being looked for... Medical interns offer health care to majority of citizens , given the shortage of senior doctors, especially in referral hospitals.

Stop arguing with Kalundi Serumaga and pick up this book instead. Ugandan history is so much more complex than you were taught in secondary school I promise you

[Douglas Drake Onen @DrakeOnen]

The law and practice of law as is, is a colonial vestige meant to maintain order and exploit the weak. We must reimagine the law and its practice or else we’re merely being performative.

[Aine🌸🦋 @Aine950513]

Law degrees in Uganda are just expensive pieces of paper for decorations. You read books for 4 years, suffer at LDC for a year, and end up as an unpaid office messenger in a law firm🤦🤦🤦

"The Cabinet list is a slight improvement from the outgoing cabinet in terms of experience , competence and representation. However, it is too big! We have remained at 81 Ministers yet the Constitution provides for 46 or slightly above 46. Framers of the Constitution never envisaged a Cabinet beyond 50..."- @SarahBireete on @ubctvuganda

"...the tenure of Anita Among, now a former Speaker of Parliament, illustrates how the abuse or neglect of institutional responsibility corrodes not only democracy but also the personal security of those who preside over that decay..."-@SarahBireete https://t.co/DgQp2eR4Z6

[Center for Constitutional Governance (CCG) @ccgea1]

"As head of the legislature, the Speaker is the custodian of debate, oversight, and accountability. Yet Parliament under Rt. Hon. Anita Among's leadership repeatedly failed to fully interrogate some of the most urgent national concerns. Most disturbing was the systematic blocking and stifling of parliamentary scrutiny into the issue of missing persons; Ugandans who disappeared amid arrests, abductions, or security operations..." - @SarahBireete
