85-year-old Hadijja Namudu is homeless, sleeping on scrap wood and begging the government to shoot her dead after her home and rental property, where she had lived for 40 years, were demolished
A female comrade was grabbed and nearly stripped by armed men outside our @NUP_Ug headquarters for wearing #PeoplePower attire. One man wielded a knife to cut her clothes before a business owner intervened. This impunity must end!
Abduction Alert 📍
Political Analyst and strategist Leonard Egesa has been abducted by military men in plain clothes in a white drone from Radio One parking. He had just finished a talk show on @AkabooziFm with @JudeBkenya. Akaboozi FM and Radio one FM share a similar compound.
His whereabouts are unknown at the moment.
One day torturers like CMI boss Oscar Munanura will be held accountable for the crimes he commited. I called him at 7.30am & confronted him with Alexandria Marinos (RIP) who was tortured and raped in his CMI basement because she had played Bobi Wine music.
He started to stumble and tried to escape by saying he was in a meeting. Banange, the CMI boss even fails to speak decent English.
Gov't has injected over UGX 723,400,000,000 in Dei Bio Pharma ltd meant for manufacturing of medicine and vaccines.
The owners of Dei said medicine&vaccine production would commence by early October-2024.
It's November 2026, Have you ever seen any Dei medicine on the market?
#JustIn: 💔😭 Atleast 2 civilians confirmed dead, many others nursing serious wounds & lots of properties destroyed following an attack by a gang of about 60 armed men with 4 AK47, Pangas, bows & arrows, at Gaji Nile Village-Labala Parish -Apaa Pabo Subcounty in Amuru District.
As you can hear in this recording, there was a clear order to "SHOOT HIM" before our President @HEBobiwine was shot! No amount of lies can cover up for this criminal action. Their intention was clear.
Look at what these criminals are doing right outside the @NUP_Ug headquarters! They grabbed and attempted to undress this female comrade at the premises of a business next to our headquarters just because she's putting on #PeoplePower attire but luckily the owner intervened just in time. Watch how one of the armed men grabs a knife and attempts to slice the clothes off her while another appears to undo her zip! This impunity will end one day!
I have woken up to the sad news of the murder of our colleague,& elected LC 1 Chairman Esheruro Cell Rukungiri Municipality.
He was murdered by a group of suspected thieves who attacked him at his home & beat him to death.
We demand his Justice.
May the soul of CM Henry RIP.
Yesterday, in his Inaugural Lecture, Prof. Mbazira @bazzira underscored the urgency of Habeas Corpus applications since they concern life and death situations. Yet, aside from the famed cases of Sam Mugumya, King Zale and others, there is a disturbing case of Baliza William, a young man who was abducted by state operatives on 10th February over some tiktok video. After several months of searching in vain, his father approached us at @NUP_Ug and our legal team filed a Habeas Corpus application on 4th May. To-date, that case has not been fixed for hearing despite reminders. What is happening, Team @JudiciaryUG?
The decision to close DGF, NGOs, and passing the Protection of Sovereignty Bill is a typical lesson against ‘management by impulsiveness’ and ‘management by anger/fear’. They did not consider that:
I) You should one bird, and 50 fly away from the tree;
II) NGOs cushion government by providing many services that people would have demanded from government;
III) The NGO sector employs so many people (directly and by extension into other sectors), hence again reducing unemployment pressure for government. Suspending more NGOs at a time when many others were downsizing or closing due to USAID’s withdrawal was bound to worsen the effect. In fact, more funders of those which were still operational developed cold feet after observing the hostile environment. More are withdrawing.
IV) A sudden huge cutoff of foreign currency inflow and sending ‘don’t come’ signals to investors necessarily had to severely affect the shilling.
Unfortunately, now much of the burden is carried by the ordinary person through increased cost of living amidst reduced employment opportunities. The politicians that recklessly mess it up will still cushion themselves with taxpayers’ money. They have fuel cards. Their utilities are catered for by the taxpayer. Their cars are bought and maintained by the taxpayer. They are treated by the taxpayer. They travel to shop elsewhere using taxpayers’ money! It is that unfair and selfish.

Just checked on our comrade Byakika Abubaker at Jinja Road Police where he was taken after being picked up from Kawempe. He says the drone first took him to Mbuya before bringing him to the police station. He also says he's being interrogated about his phone calls with activist Praise Aloikin and an alleged plot to stage protests (which shouldn't be illegal in the first place).
