Lawyer Martha Karua, who leads the legal team for Rtd. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye and his aide Hajji Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya, was denied entry into Uganda this morning at Entebbe Airport.
Karua had flown in today to join Ssaalongo Erias Lukwago’s lawyers for his bail hearing at Makindye Court. Her colleagues were allowed into the country, but she was ordered to return to Kenya.
But what kind of nonsense is this !?
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF SOVEREIGNTY BILL, 2026:
Pending the submission of our full written views to Parliament on Friday, 24 April 2026, the National Bar Association sounds a very clear warning today about the “Anti-Sovereignty” Bill. It’s an act of treason under Article 3 of the Constitution, and risks turning this country into an international pariah state.

Ofcourse it’s not fair especially in a country with no minimum wage. Atleast if it can be raised to like 500k. Though I had previously advocated for 1m, this is not feasible looking at how much people are earning. But it should be everyone’s duty to pay taxes and Government should put our taxes to good use. Paying taxes and then using roads like those in Kampala is a breach of the “Social Contract”.

24 out of 100 Ugandan girls become pregnant before 20
Comprehensive education isn’t about promoting immorality—it’s about preventing unexpected challenges and keeping girls in school.
Fewer teenage pregnancies = more education = stronger futures.

Not using contraceptives isn’t always a choice—it’s a sermon. Uganda’s girls are caught between pulpits and pregnancy. What happens when reality clashes with the voice at the pulpit?

So I’m seeing that fibroids have become a hot topic on here in the last 48 hours. So I’ll answer a few of the questions that I have received about the topic.🧵
FIDA Uganda proudly joined the grand launch of the Healthy Teenage Moms Foundation, @Thrivingteenmom, solidifying our commitment to end teenage pregnancy and early marriage. Together, we're advocating for girls' education, empowerment, and healthy choices, transforming society one step at a time. With Uganda having one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in sub-Saharan Africa, this partnership is a crucial step towards change. Let's work together to bring an end to teenage pregnancy, child marriage and promote women's rights!💪
