#Uganda, @MinofHealthUG,
please pay medical interns! You cannot subject the lifeline of Ugandans to dehumanizing conditions and expect them to do their good work. These dedicated men and women work their asses off every day for the wellbeing of Ugandans—pay them well!

Watch nature at the world's most powerful waterfall, the Murchison Falls, located in northwestern Uganda.

It is where the entire Victoria Nile is forced through a narrow 7-meter gorge and plummets 43 meters into the "Devil's Cauldron," creating a thunderous roar and a perpetual rainbow.

The falls are the centrepiece of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's largest and oldest conservation area.

Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business. We can’t have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We can’t have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We can’t have peace because it threatens the weapons industry.

I would like to share a personal reflection on the ongoing conversations around citizenship, identity, and public service in Uganda. I was born and raised in Uganda. It is the country that shaped me, educated me, gave me opportunities, and allowed me to serve to the best of my ability. When my Ugandan passport was revoked years ago, it was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. It felt deeply personal and, at the time, heartbreaking. I was asked to choose between aspects of my identity that, to me, had never been in conflict. After much reflection, I decided that what mattered most was my ability to continue living, working, and contributing to the country I call home. I subsequently obtained a Rwandan passport and a work permit. While the process brought inconvenience and frustration, it never stopped me from continuing to work, build, contribute, and serve alongside fellow Ugandans. Though I am of Rwandan heritage, I have always considered myself Ugandan in every meaningful sense of the word, having lived here my entire life. That experience taught me an important lesson: service to one’s country is not measured solely by the passport one carries, but by the contribution one makes, the values one upholds, and the commitment one demonstrates to the people around them. As we debate recent appointments and questions of citizenship, I believe our focus should remain on competence, integrity, service, and the value individuals can bring to Uganda. Institutions responsible for appointments should be allowed to perform their duties, while the rest of us assess leaders by the impact they make.
Uganda’s story has always been one of diverse communities, cultures, and histories living alongside one another. Our identities are often more interconnected than we sometimes acknowledge. That diversity should be a source of strength rather than division. I also wish to say this respectfully: those who seek to inflame tensions or claim to speak for all Banyarwanda do not speak for me. I have never denied my heritage, nor have I ever stopped loving Uganda. The loss of a passport did not diminish my affection for this country or my desire to contribute to its future. We are a peaceful people. We are neighbours, colleagues, friends, and family members. The conversations we have today will shape the country our children inherit tomorrow. Let us therefore choose wisdom over anger, unity over division, and dialogue over suspicion. I love Uganda, and I remain grateful for all it has given me. I also remember a time when many people of Rwandan heritage living in Uganda felt unable to openly acknowledge that part of who they were. We have made significant progress since then. Let us not move backwards. Let us continue building a society where people are judged by their character, contribution, and commitment to the common good.
Peace, respect, and togetherness must always come first #peace #respect #love #understanding

People fetishize power in proportion to their insecurity in it, and the loudest worship tends to come from a grip that is recent or borrowed.

All the Benzs and Lexuses in the hospital parking lot? Relax, those belong to the patients.

That dusty Vitz and the old Prado parked under the tree? Those are the consultants'.

The Subarus? Mid-career doctors. Still paying them off alongside school fees, rent, and a loan they took to clear another loan.

The Sientas? For the female medics, probably a gift from the husband.

The intern doctor came on a boda.

Remember when US President @BillClinton, his wife @HillaryClinton and daughter @ChelseaClinton
Clinton visited Uganda in March 1998 and travelled to Wanyange, Jinja with President @KagutaMuseveni and maama @JanetMuseveni
to see the impact @FINCA, an American founded financial inclusion NGO was doing?
Remember the photos from that visit, where Clinton was carrying a few- days- old baby, that would later be named after him?

Yes, that baby, now a young man, is the one I met today, in this photo.

He is called Kaligana Bill Clinton Muwanguzi.

His mother, Betty Namugosa, was the lady Bill Clinton found making pancakes- Kabalagala- burahanda-- in Wanyange, carried her baby and bequeathed her the name.

The young man went on to go to school, completed O level at Holly Cross Secondary School in Jinja, and A level at London College of St Lawrence.

Initially, his mother would occasionally receive phone calls from the Clintons and even received tuition fees support from them via Western Union, but all of a sudden, they lost connection.

The young man, whose passion is to become a football coach, seeks and wishes to reconnect with his friend and hopes this message will reach them @ClintonFdn.
He can be reached on call and WhatsApp via
[phone]. #KeepingHopeAlive.
