[Bank of Uganda @BOU_Official]

"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.

Just a CPR would have saved a life but unfortunately, we stay in an ignorant world.

Why can’t we have First aid basics added on the primary and secondary curriculums? You don’t know how many we would have saved as a country.🥲

@Savio_boys Sad indeed. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He taught me the stylish cursive handwriting that I still use to date.

Civility and decorum are tools of the colonial masters. Showing anger over unfairness is much worse than the unfairness itself.

This is why I encourage rebellion, civility is a poisoned chalice.

Uganda’s Big Man Museveni Is Right: There Will Be a Future Access-to-the-Sea War, But…
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has ruffled feathers with his 11 November statement that landlocked African countries such as Uganda could, in future, have to go to war if their access to the sea is not guaranteed.
Museveni expressed frustration over ongoing talks with Kenya to ensure Uganda’s access to the sea remains secure and affordable. In the mould of Abiy Ahmed, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Museveni described the idea of any single country claiming exclusive ownership of the sea as “madness”.
The sea, Museveni said, was like a compound in a condominium. “How can you say that you are in a block of flats and the compound belongs only to the ground floor? That compound belongs to the whole block,” he said.
The attached viral tongue-in-cheek map shows how East Africa would look after Museveni has won his war for the Indian Ocean. There actually is an inevitability to the Museveni scenario, but it will likely happen in the Horn of Africa first.
Ethiopia is the world’s most populous and largest landlocked country. It is Africa’s second most populous country. Soon it will be Africa’s fourth-largest economy, and by 2050 will have about 210 million people. There is no modern precedent for such a country being landlocked.
Because its coastal neighbours are small, Ethiopia will soon be able to afford to sacrifice 5–10 million people, wielding even just clubs and machetes, and they will easily cut a corridor to the sea through Djibouti, Eritrea, or Somalia.
As it happens, the breakaway territory of Somaliland is ready to carve a path for Ethiopia to the sea, in exchange for diplomatic recognition and security. Museveni’s dream is likely to come true in the Horn first.
In East Africa, it is the reverse. The small countries are the landlocked ones, and the bigger ones (Kenya, Tanzania) are coastal. Landlocked countries like Uganda and Rwanda have armies at par with, or marginally ahead of, the coastal states, but their economies are smaller.
Also, the East African Community and historical ties between these countries still offer vehicles for the resolution of their disputes.
But if all else fails, the landlocked countries will have to rely on internal weaknesses in Kenya and Tanzania, instead of external military pressure, to give them political control of ports.
If Kenya continues to weaken itself through ethnicised and polarised elections, and Tanzania carries on in the murderous path opened by President Samia Suluhu Hassan in the recent elections in which anything between 1,000 and 3,000 people were killed, they could fracture. However, Uganda, which has been ruled for 40 years by Museveni as a democratic-dictatorship, will probably be a shell too in future.
In fact, apart from Rwanda (today), all East and Central Africa’s landlocked countries are basket cases of varying degrees. Otherwise they could have joined forces to overrun a future fragile Kenya or Tanzania. Therefore, for now, Nairobi and Dodoma shouldn’t lose sleep. But only for now.

Comrades,

NATIONAL CONSULTATIONS FOR UGANDA BAR PRESIDENCY

The Ugandan Bar is bound in judicial, economic, and political chains. Justice, a
cornerstone of civilised society, lies on its deathbed. It has become a privilege for the few, rather than a right for all. It is a preserve of those who can bully or bribe the system.

So, speaking truth to power is no longer just brave; it is perilous. That is why
Uganda Law Society (ULS) needs a steady hand on the ground. A tested, calm and battle-hardened warrior for justice.

I have braved the fire of political persecution and military torture. Threats against my life, economic pressures, and attempts to break me through imprisonment have not bent my resolve. The high walls and thick prison doors have not silenced me.

I personify the leadership ULS and Uganda demands as we stare down a national election season replete with human rights abuses. ULS leadership must respond firmly, swiftly and with integrity.

That is why I have embarked on a refreshing, participatory and didactic country-wide tour of Uganda to consult members of ULS as I seek to be the next ULS president in light of the imminent end of the tenure of the current ULS council (executive) on 27th September 2025.

I have been an indefatigable defender of lawyers’ welfare, young lawyers’ rights,
human dignity, women rights, the rule of law, social justice, Bar autonomy, judicial
autonomy, public interest and the rights of the oppressed. I have stood for ––and I
continue to defend––lawyers, journalists, writers, farmers, women, youth, detainees, evictees and other vulnerable voices.

Expect a robust, dignified and unrelenting defence of our rights and the public
interest as, together, we unchain the bar from the regulatory, judicial, political and
economic chains that continue to steal our dreams, damn our efforts and dash our hopes.

Dated at Kasese this Tuesday, 9th September 2025.
