EXCLUSIVE: How planting Among’s Juju at Oboth parliament office landed Obore in prison
A few days ago, PLU’s Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oboth cried out to the public for prayers after landing on strange juju planted inside his office. A CCTV review by security showed that on the night of June 30th at 21:00hrs, a masked Chris Obore sneaked to the speaker’s office at Level 5 parliament building.
He was allegedly filmed making some incantations and dancing strangely at Oboth Oboth’s office door and thereafter planted witch craft objects, a move that angered OO prompting him to report to his superiors leading to the revival of Obore’s corruption scandals and his eventual arrest.

A whistleblower. A criminal prosecution. A landmark court victory.
The High Court has ordered MTN Uganda to pay former executive Richard Mwami over UGX 2.3 billion after finding the telecom company maliciously instigated his prosecution over the infamous UGX 16 billion mobile money fraud case.
How did the man who first reported the suspicious transactions end up in the dock, and ultimately win one of Uganda's most significant malicious prosecution judgments?

What do the WOMEN get when they DIE in Islam?
Islam promises men 72 virgins in paradise (Hadith). Women? A purified husband, beauty, & palaces. No 72 studs for them. So what happens when the 72 virgins are no longer virgins? 🤦♀️ just a false religion made up of lies

LORD MAYOR KAMPALA
Eng Balimwezo Ronald Nsubuga
Next week, I meet up with the current mayor of Kampala and our discussions will focus on 4 major reasons why Cities exist and those are.
Will be my first time to meet him!
1- Search for economic opportunities and therefore, cities must first focus on how the city economy thrives.
The Bible says pray for the city in which you live, when it prospers, you also prosper and yes, if the city doesn’t prosper, you don’t prosper.
2- search for good education, cities generally speaking host the best educational institutions because when its economy improves, the need for better education grows.
3- Good health, because of prosperity of the city obviously the city hosts the best health facilities. Poor environment don’t host good health facilities.
Good health depends on 3 pillars, good housing, good education and good nutrition and all depend on a good economy. Reason no poor is amongst the top 20 health nations.
4- Security, cities with great wealth intend to have better secure environments generally speaking. Wealth nations tend to invest better for their security than the poor ones.
I will invite the Lord Mayor to kasese and see how RWENZORI MARATHON is slowly transforming Kasese and see first hand what numbers of spenders mean for an economy.
The owner of TORONTO MARATHON has for example invited me for Toronto marathon and is going to organize a diner where the mayor of Toronto will be and would be happy to go with our mayor and sees how mayors position cities.
We shall discuss a marketing plan for Kampala city, would nice to hear Kenyans, Tanzanians, South Africans, Nigerians etc saying, we shall visit Kampala and spend our money there.
Places like Namungogo shouldn’t be places where activities happen only in the month of June. It should be attracting spenders throughout the year and we shall discuss how that works.
THIS THINKING SHOULD APPLY TO EVERY MAYOR AROUND THE COUNTRY AND YOU VOTERS MUST ENGAGE THEM.
Let us be honest: the issue is not that medical interns are too many.
It is not that Uganda has no money.
It is that medical interns are not being treated as a priority.
Consider the choices being made:
• Parliament keeps growing.
Parliament’s budget reportedly doubled to about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. The money going to 529 MPs rose from about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟰𝟬𝟬𝗯 in 2020/21 to 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳𝟰𝟰.𝟰𝗯 in 2026/27, an increase of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟰𝟰.𝟰𝗯.
What direct return does this give the common Ugandan in a crowded hospital?
• Two offices alone tell the story.
The Speaker and Deputy Speaker offices had about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳.𝟭𝗯 combined in 2020/21. In 2026/27, they stand at about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱𝟬.𝟮𝗯 , an increase of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟰𝟯.𝟭𝗯 for only two offices.
That increase alone can pay 𝟯𝟬𝟬𝟬 interns 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, with money left.
• Questionable spending continues.
In 2025/26, selected Speaker’s office lines reportedly included 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮.𝟰𝗯 for foreign travel, 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟵𝟲𝟲𝗺 for fuel, 𝗦����𝘀 𝟰.𝟴𝗯 for incapacity, death benefits and funeral expenses, and 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱.𝟮𝗯 for donations. Total: about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝟰.𝟮𝗯. What lasting public health return does this produce compared with doctors on wards?
• RDC structures are being funded.
Uganda reportedly has 146 RDCs, 170 Deputy RDCs and 432 Assistant RDCs, total 748 officials. Their proposed salary enhancement requires an extra 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟵.𝟬𝟳𝟵𝗯 every year.
Add the reported 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟬𝗯 for LC I to LC V political leader facilitation, and that is about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱𝟵𝗯. In what way does this benefit the common Ugandan?
• Donations are funded.
State House donations reportedly consumed 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳𝟱𝟭𝗯 over seven financial years. In 2023/24 alone, donations were budgeted at 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝟴.𝟭𝗯, but actual spending reached 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟴𝟬.𝟭𝟴𝗯. If tens and hundreds of billions can be found for donations, how does 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟰𝗯 to 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟲𝗯 for over 2,000 medical interns become impossible?
• Health was not protected with the same urgency.
The Ministry of Health vote fell from about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟲𝟵𝟯 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in FY2023/24 to about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟯𝟰𝟰 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in FY2024/25, a reduction of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟰𝟵𝗯. Even the 2025/26 estimate of 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭.𝟱𝟲𝟰 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 remains below the 2023/24 level. Yet health is the sector that directly touches mothers in labour, accident victims, children with malaria, emergency patients and families in public hospitals.
Now compare:
• 2,000 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟰𝗯 per year
• 2,500 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟬𝗯 per year
• 3,000 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟲𝗯 per year
Even using the Ministry of Health’s own gross figure of Shs15.6m per intern per year, the reported 2,706 eligible interns would require about Shs42.2b. That is still small compared with what is being found for political comfort and administrative expansion.
That money is not a handout.
✨ It avails doctors on wards.
✨ It keeps emergency units covered.
✨ It supports maternity care.
✨ It fills staffing gaps in regional referrals.
✨ It protects patients.
So let us stop pretending.
This is not a numbers problem.
This is not a money problem.
It is a priority problem.
Medical interns are doctors under apprenticeship, not free labour!
#InternsNotSlaves
The Tanzanian SGR is up and running – and is just beautiful. The Ugandan one, over 15 years later, there is nothing to show. But they rehabilitated the rickety wagons of the 1950s.
It is not the money (M7 friends steal Ush9-10 trillion annually) but seriousness.
I'm jealous.
@CanaryMugume@nbstv@nextradio_ug Would love to see them reduce their budget for once in history. The money would do a tremendous job increasing Arts teachers salaries.
