According to financial year 2025/26 minority report by @Parliament_Ug led by Hon. @SsemujjuIN then,
~UGX 492.900 BILLION was allocated to special meals& drinks for government officials
Vs
~ UGX 325.383 BILLION which was allocated to 20 referral hospitals in Uganda.
Prioritizing stomachs for government officials over health for the rest of Ugandans, the failure by government to pay medical interns makes it even worse.
#PayAllMedicalInterns
Yesterday when Nabbanja was asked about Kibalama’s whereabouts whom she had prior said was in state custody, she replied mockingly that she had been referring to her LC1 chairman. For context, Kibalama’s wife also died, the children are helpless. Abuse of power aside, one wonders what happens to people like Nabbanja for them to start viewing other people’s lives as worthless, as casual or as disposable.
211 billion has been allocated to entertainment of gov't officials but they cant find 28 billion to pay medical interns.
This gov't hates it's citizens because there is no justification to this nonsense.
#PayAllMedicalInterns
With this logic, why don’t we provide just lunch for all the other government workers? The people getting more cars than they need, a huge salary, allowances and many other benefits are the ones saying medical interns deserve only lunch!! #PayAllMedicalInterns
Today @kizzabesigye1 and his aide Haj Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya return to the High Court to face judge Emmanuel Baguma in a treason and misprision of treason case. Baguma wants the state to begin producing witnesses today. You all know that Besigye was convicted before trial. Museveni's son even suggested, he would be hanged on a tree he had already identified. The formal drills that should end with hanging begin today.
The Leader of the Opposition in Parliament (LoP), @JoelSsenyonyi, has arrived at the Parliament Buildings ahead of the highly anticipated national budget reading for the Financial Year 2026/2027. The opposition recently unveiled their comprehensive Shs71.4 trillion Alternative Budget.

As members of the rural community, we set up this non-profit community hospital to extend health services to a largely poor community in Masaka-Kyotera that is burdened by disease and distant alternative heath services. While it is already promising to boost access to quality healthcare in the rural area, the beginning (as usual) is challenging. We are certain though that in a few years it will be able to stabilise and sustain itself. We therefore seek for your kind hand as the hospital stabilises. Just 10,000/ will make a difference, but you are welcome to give more. Thank you so much.
During the court session, Cpt Dennis Olao addressed court and also raised issues around Prisons authorities. He stated that these have denied him access to his co-accused in order for them to discuss issues pertaining their trial.
He went ahead to ask court how a fair hearing would be achieved with all the violations occasioned to them as the accused.

The physically and mentally incapacitated former Second Deputy Prime Minister, Gen. Moses Ali, has officially handed over office to his successor, Hon. Dr. Crispus Walter Kiyonga, after being dropped by the equally physically and mentally incapacitated, power-hungry tyrant, Museveni.
The irony?
It is pathetic that the criminal Museveni has the audacity to expel from his Cabinet those he deems unfit, yet he himself is both unfit and illegitimate.
Alas, it would be meaningful if Gen. Museveni were to resign as well. However, he cannot, as he is hell-bent on leaving State House only in a coffin.
Dr. Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale return to court today for commencement of hearing of their case.
Important to note, Dr.Besigye's legal team was yesterday denied entry of evidence material that was supposed to be reviewed together with the accused.
@UgandaPrisons cited that the court order only granted exclusive access of the accused on weekends and public holidays.

Since Kasuku has failed to realize his mistakes, we shall talk to uncle @eddykenzoficial. If common sense can’t be imparted into Kasuku the normal way, we can have Kenzo to just punch it into his head ☹️🤨

They brought up this in our sit down strike in 2023. They thought they would lure us the government sponsored to go and start while we leave the privately sponsored behind.
We refused because it wasn’t those on government who were going to work the 36 hour shifts. We stayed together and demanded everyone is paid. I urge the current interns not to fall for this bait🫸🏿
OO,
“I am the first Speaker, truthfully speaking, who was bragged into the chair. You saw how the CDF (Muhoozi Museveni’s son) and the Prime Minister are the ones who dragged me into this Speakership chair. This was an operation formed by the Commander-in-Chief (Museveni), and it was successful”.
The full treason trial of Opposition leader, Dr Kizza Besigye, his aide Obeid Lutale, and UPDF Capt Denis Oola, opens today, with the State expected to line up about 10 witnesses to testify against them.

Uganda is very interesting, a whole MP is missing for weeks but the Vice President came to tell Parliament that the missing MP is healthy where she is.
Just like that unlawful detention has been justified.
