.@Kalinaki: As I leave the newsroom, it is my view that the Monitor's core role must shift from waiting on biology to trying to positively influence society and the inevitable looming change. It can, and should do that by imagining and platforming debate on the many scenarios by which the country can derisk the political transition. This was the opportunity that the Moshi Conference presented in 1979; we continue to pay the penalty for failing to seize it https://t.co/BGmZYkuMiS

The story of @sabiti_edwin continues to get sweeter. Before he joined @MakerereLaw he promised me to get a CGPA of 4 as I assured him that thatโs the best way to get into Harvard. Indeed he got the CGPA, promised me to get a first class at LDC and did it. Then we agreed that he applies to Harvard and I was sure he would be admitted. Finally, I am glad that he was not only admitted but also got TOTAL financial aid. The boy from St. Kaggwa High School is going to @Harvard_Law for his LLM on full scholarship. Congratulations Edwin. You have made me very proud. Itโs so good to see those close to you keep winning. AMDG
Degree of Master of Laws in International Trade Law- with distinctionsโจ. University of Cape Town.
PJ Smeets Prize for the highest average mark in the Chinese Law and Investments in Africa course. #UCTGrad2026
Reminds me of Montel Jordanโs 1995 hit song, โThis Is How We Do It.โ 5 degrees from top universities, including @StanfordLaw. No fake degrees, just the right way. Read, write, research, and produce knowledge.
Congratulations to you, my brother @RKirunda, upon your graduation. A true academic giant. We can now proudly call you Dr. Kirunda. Now we have to reconvene at Plot 2 to toss to this and more.
The only one holding us back is @JGkibande. Mate, finish up your Ph.D study and do not deny us a fine celebration. For me, I am already a witchdoctor ๐
๐๐Curious about what we do @UCUgavelclub??
We're more than just public speaking, we're a community dedicated to transforming students into confident leaders and compelling communicators.
If you've ever wondered what we do, this is it. And we're just getting started! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Good video to watch on cross-examination
1. Come close to the witness & maintain eye contact
2. It isn't about you. It's about the court/judge
3. Questions should be clear for the witness & court
4. Preparation is everything. Mr. Khaminwa doesn't have to first read the questions
