@cross_Xkaran7 @cobbo3 Scale and cost structure determine whether refined products can profitably be exported, not the theoretical possibility.

Shared military and space talk sounds grand, but foolhardy 😂😂😂 with these same East African administrations which are still in races to own micro oil refineries 😂😂😂 fragmenting a fragile market instead of building one efficient regional hub.
‘Federation’ remains a useful political tool to sound politically robust, hence keeping East African masses hopeful, launder domestic control, and never dilute the power that keeps ‘National administrations’ as intact family projects.
As masses dream of bigger markets that will never come, since no one will surrender her taxation authority.

Remember who bet on you when success was uncertain.

Their early faith built your path, honor it with lasting gratitude.

Cook him, it’s 2026 👍🏾 one oughts to be too smart to lie.
Entebbe’s UGX 24bn/year (USD 250k/km) for just 26 km of O&M is exorbitant in any language.

Take Kenya’s 27 km Nairobi Expressway averages under USD 15m/year in projected ops costs.

Ethiopia’s 80 km Addis-Adama runs on lean state budgets (ETC O&M only USD 1.64m multi year).

SA’s Bakwena does routine maintenance at USD 8k/km.

African peers deliver the same service far cheaper.

The Egis tolling award was just for manufacturing artificial “experience” monopoly to sideline credible local entities 🤔🤔🤔
Visible fraud 👀 right after award, Ugandan Pinnacle ran every routine op, collection, patrols, emergencies.
Turns out the “French” Egis was just Pinnacle dressed in a French name, he now even gets another exorbitant contract extension 😢
Locals were always fully capable.

[seba @ivansuspect]

For sure both your positions remain trapped in enforcement blame cycles rather than evidence.
Official claims that route charts manage fatigue, curb speeding and cut crashes lack measured duty hours, speed distributions or before/after crash data violating Safe System principles (WHO, ITF) that demand quantified risk.
For a nearby case study look at Rwanda’s data led corridor audits and South Africa’s Arrive Alive monitoring shows scheduling works only when calibrated to real exposure metrics.

Good 👍🏾 you correctly flag dysfunctional speedometers and weak inspections yet overstates that charts and permits have “nothing” to do with safety and defaults to unproven corruption charges. International best practice (UNECE, SSATP studies) treats valid permits and duty limits as safety layers once backed by continuous infrastructure and traffic data.
Uganda’s priority must therefore be systematic road condition, volume, speed and black-spot monitoring.
Only accurate traffic data can design effective regulations and end performative enforcement or mutual recrimination.

[seba @ivansuspect]

Does government as the client pursue recovery or professional indemnity from the original design consultants under their liability clauses, since their design won’t work or does the system simply absorb another costly redesign, effectively forcing the taxpayer to repay for the same engineering input?

[seba @ivansuspect]

Hon. Minister Byamukama’s 90-day ultimatum is the right step to enforce contract timelines, milestones and cost discipline.

However, media reports have been highlighting durability concerns with the approved design, especially whether it can handle the heavy trucks on that corridor for a full 20 year life and these issues were already flagged more than 18 months ago.
An independent technical review is needed. If the flaws are genuine, government should recover the money from the original designers instead of building a weaker road or paying again for another redesign.
True value for money must look at longterm performance, not just how fast the work is finished.

[seba @ivansuspect]

Thank you Minister 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 but we have seen this before, Classic cases are well media documented, we all remember ED. Kagina terminating China Railway 18th Bureau on Musita–Lumino in 2017 for 13 % progress, yet higher directives kept them on 🤔🤔🤔 the same happened with Dott Services on Mbale to Tirinyi terminated for poor performance, then reinstated on Museveni’s order.

[seba @ivansuspect]

Oh, the Hon. Minister totally knows this genius syndicate moves 😂😂😂 contractors grab projects they can’t fund, do nothing for months waiting for the first payment (released with zero milestones), all expertly enabled by their ministry engineer partners in public-fund looting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😂😂😂

[seba @ivansuspect]

President Museveni rightly called it “a land of martyrs” 🤔🤔🤔 then I didn’t get him 🤔🤔🤔
But this podcast reveals how our forefathers’ inborn resilience and endurance in refusing the 1900 chains that enslave us to-date 😢😢😢 but writers of our history always sight Uganda’s ‘loud-weak men’ who stayed close to establishments 🤔🤔🤔
History deliberately overlooks wisdom from soft-spoken patriots for noisy compromisers, draw a picture from the current parliamentary setup 😢 a mirror to colonial betrayals.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😢

[seba @ivansuspect]

CCTV footage shows the grim reality 😢😢😢
no barriers, no flashing lights, no audible warnings 😢😢😢 just single person trying to flag traffic in low light 😢😢😢
No clear authority guides drivers about incoming trains.
Drivers misread signals, momentum carries them forward, and tragedy strikes 😢😢😢
This unprotected crossing relies on hope instead of engineering.
Let’s all demand:
✅ Automatic barriers + flashing lights NOW
✅ Proper signage & lighting at ALL similar junctions
✅ Urgent safety audit by URC & MoWT
Enough avoidable deaths!
Invest in infrastructure that protects lives, not just blames drivers.

@cobbo3 The 3:1 ratio proves the capitalist enabled systemic criminal environment.
By tolerating weak policing and inequality for profit, they sustain insecurity, booming their security empires off the chaos they indirectly perpetuate.

[seba @ivansuspect]

Oh, the regime had created its own opposition and NUP did the “kulabisa” (new political players coming in was to be of consequences🤣🤣🤣) now that legacy politicians and their legacy political entities are no more 🤣🤣🤣 the irony is appointing your own Opposition Leader 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant innovation! Just like Stalin’s USSR rigging its ‘opposition’ in its corrupt twilight years.
The cancer of unchecked power always eats aging regimes from within… history’s gentle warning. 😉

[seba @ivansuspect]

One day, seated with my grandkids, on a “father’s day” like this one 👍🏾 I’ll try to always have lessons with my house about true ‘soft power’ 🤔🤔🤔

How in the recent US-Iran war, Lloyd’s of London proved most decisive.

By sharply raising war risk premiums and tightening coverage for Strait of Hormuz shipping, the artery of global oil 🙄🙄🙄

Lloyd’s quietly crippled trade flows far more than missiles 😢

Diplomacy reopened the strait, but only because markets trusted Lloyd’s to restore viable insurance.

This British institution, not armies, shaped the peace and world trade🤔🤔🤔 reminding us that controlling risk and narrative often decides outcomes where force alone cannot.

The professor’s claim of a passport without citizenship is the misleading 😢
What a sad generation of opinion leaders we have 🥲🥲🥲crafting long, emotional tales that mislead on basics 🤔🤔🤔a foreign passport is proof of citizenship.
No special exceptions rewrite immigration law.
History deserves honesty, not convenient fiction.

@T_E_F_L_O_N @SPKinobe2018 Power in the Great Lakes flowed from older northern kingdoms like Bunyoro~Ankole~tied to Lake Victoria trade routes~southward through influence and raids 🤔🤔🤔
The younger, smaller Rwandan chiefdom lacked the capacity to control northern highlands like Kigezi.

[seba @ivansuspect]

@cobbo3 But in cases of cross-border dual citizenship how do you handle split allegiance?
Law must close this loophole, not celebrate it.

@cotumwine @Signumadvocates @ealawsociety @PaulRugambwa @DukeofKyagaju @hrmauofficial @waswamosesk @mtnmomoug @RKirunda Companies saving money is fine, but it cannot kill people’s buying power.
Capitalism needs customers with money, not just cheaper goods. AI should aid labour, not replace it.
