I love when I meet people off of social media who actually embody the things they talk about online. It is so refreshing to experience people who are real and not just walking ads of confabulations that they create in order to make money.
If we were serious as citizens, we would speak with one voice for intern doctors. While many leaders can afford treatment abroad, these are the first responders for the majority of us, serving under some of the toughest conditions imaginable.
The ideas that resources and production should benefit everyone rather than enriching a few wasn't invented by Marx.
Long before him, African traditions like Ubuntu, Ujamaa, and communal land ownership were already based on the principle that the community comes first.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of John Oryema Lacambel, a distinguished journalist, patriot, and peace advocate whose voice became a beacon of hope during the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency in Northern Uganda.
Through his work on MEGA FM, particularly his peace broadcasts, he helped bridge the divide between those trapped in conflict and the communities awaiting their return. By conveying messages from families, traditional and religious leaders, political leaders, and the Government of Uganda, he encouraged countless abductees and combatants to return home, assuring them of security, forgiveness, and reintegration into society.
His deep understanding of the conflict, extensive contacts, and commitment to peace also made a valuable contribution to the progress achieved during the Juba Peace Talks.
Uganda owes a debt of gratitude to John Lacambel for his selfless service and his significant role in advancing reconciliation, ending the conflict, and restoring peace and stability in Northern Uganda.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the people of Northern Uganda.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
@kamauwaruhiu@mistatash Corruption is not a legal or tech problem, it is an ethical one. We need to genuinely fix our collective national psyche, from wananchi to leaders. We glorify wealth more than ideas, integrity, or ethics. The culture of “kumangia” and “kutoanisha” must end if we are serious.
We cannot continue treating mental health as a private struggle while publicly dismissing the very disciplines that help us understand it.
My latest piece in the Daily Monitor 👇🏿
Noise insulation and sound limiters are actually an architectural and acoustic engineering requirement that Uganda’s building code should have been enforcing from the planning stage not as a 14 day emergency order after the building is already up and operating. The real question for @KCCAUG is this: why are these buildings passing inspection and receiving operating licenses without meeting basic acoustic standards in the first place? Fix the approval process and you fix the problem before it begins. 🏗️🇺🇬
The ones who are cold in warm rooms.
The ones who have learned to make themselves small so nobody notices they are disappearing.
She notices.
Every time.
Because her father once asked a girl he had never met if she was hungry and meant it.
And kept meaning it.
For four years.
I didn’t save Amara.
I just kept cooking.
She saved herself.
I just made sure she had enough in her stomach to do it.
Look around you.
There is someone in your orbit right now wearing a jacket in a warm room.
Open the door.
Mean it.
That is the whole thing.
That is everything.
