There's been a massive water leakage on Kabalega Crescent in Luzira. One of the pipes along the road burst. Your people came and took pictures and went away. All the houses along this road now don't have water.

As a doctor, you learn that patients rarely die of the disease alone. They die of the disease plus the delay. The referral that came too late. The scan that had to wait for money. The drug that was out of stock at the first facility. By the time they reach you, you're not just treating pathology, you're treating a system's failure wearing a patient's face.
In May 2013, the government of Uganda sent armed police to shut down the countryโs biggest independent newspaper because it printed something the regime insisted was a lie. Thirteen years later, the man at the centre of that so-called lie has gone on Twitter countless times, unprompted, to tell us it was all true.
Let me take you back, because the story is almost too neat.

@UEDCLTD Also why is the process of getting connected so unclear? One doesn't know how to actually get connected and this is why your field staff get away with soliciting bribes and asking for unofficial payments.
@UEDCLTD I applied for a 2nd meter 12 months ago, to date without receiving one. Today a conman called me from UEDCL asking me to buy breakers for the meter which is now available. He knew all my details and the fact that I was waiting for a 2nd meter. Are you selling our data?
