I extend my sincere gratitude to the opposition fraternity for the strong show of solidarity & unity demonstrated during the election for Speaker.
Our Official Opposition Candidate Paul Mwiru garnered 60 votes exceeding 48 which is our @NUP_Ug composition in the 12th Parliament.
Many said he had miscalculated by ordering Mpuuga to return the 500m & apologise to the nation. Many criticised him for not covering up for his own. At such a great personal/political risk, H.E. Bobi Wine took a clear stand against the corruption in Parliament!
Kudos @HEBobiwine
When we entertain denying someone legal representation because we are very angry with her, we normalise a jungle practice that will lead to denial of legal representation to others that someone doesn’t like. Let our anger with Among not blind us from democratic ideals.
.@nsengoba: Coming out to probe their wealth at this time is an opportune affront on suspected corruption. But it is also a sign that the NRM is now feeling vulnerable that even its own shadow scares it https://t.co/rKgz18QIZj

Fortunately, I can call many of Gen. Muhoozi’s people my friends; @AndrewMwenda@kasujja@qataharraymond, etc, all very brilliant people. could you please be honest enough to tell him he cannot fight corruption while abusing processes, while undermining institutions, while openly and publicly appointing speakers and deputy speakers of parliament, while fronting people that have also been involved in the same corruption you’re praising him for fighting. Thank you 🙏
Now that you’re all looking at my timeline for updates, let me use this chance to ask you kindly to retweet this shoe until it reaches the person in whose foot it fits!
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!
That woman that they shot from Annet Among’s home was the strike that sparked off the already ripe ready matchstick!
You don’t shoot an operative and get away with it!
That letter/statement that she authored was after being told that if she doesn’t do as she did, she would face immediate arrest and wouldn’t be treated with any dignity throughout the investigation process!
Moving forward she complied and instructed Alaka to write it!
Singer Pallaso has together with about 20 others waylaid and attacked @kingsaha_256 with pangas and sticks while he was on his way to perform hitting and shattering his car!
Pallaso lwaaki tovva kumwana wa bandi?
Kilikusuula mu gaali!
Ntinda will be tomorrow! The house in Kigo may take more time to search than the Nakasero/Kololo one.
Bukedea much as she has declined to sign consenting to the search, will be searched too in her presence but after the city residences!
Suddenly, the people who always mock our fight against abductions are decrying the very abductions they have always defended and christened 'arrests'. They will soon have lawyers filing Habeas Corpus and other applications for their rights to be upheld. All of a sudden, they will remember that there is a document called the Constitution with guarantees of liberty and fair trials.
EVERYONE eventually realises that they need to or needed to have fought for the rule of law. The things we say every day about good governance, human rights, and the rule of law are not mere academic concepts. They're like breath - all of us need them to live and thrive. Sadly, many people learn this when it is too late!
