The tragedy of the African elite is that they conflate China's engineering capacity at home with its intentions abroad.

When Uganda hands over a multimillion dollar infrastructure project to Beijing, they do so under the naive delusion that they are buying the same world class efficiency seen in Shanghai or Shenzhen.

But they miss the fundamental point, China builds for China; they merely extract from Africa.

Here, it is strictly a game of unmitigated profit.

It is a cynical exercise in cutting corners, leveraging substandard materials, and deploying subpar construction techniques to maximize their margins.

They know our corrupt systems will never hold them to account, so they give us infrastructure built to expire before the loans are even repaid.

Eng. Ronald Balimwezo's confrontation is a brave, proper stance of leadership, but one man isn't enough.

Every system in Uganda, and every system across Africa, needs to be that strict and confrontational with Chinese companies, miners, and businesses, if the continent is to protect itself.

In less than five minutes, economist Dr Fred Muhumuza clinically dismantles our so-called devt schemes: PDM, Emyooga, NUSAF – all of them. He called them "political instruction" – not economics!

One is then forced to ask, who are the economists behind them?

Also educate me- why do cars now have Yellow number plates at the front & white ones at the back?

[Bibi Rukwengye @Rukwengye]

Conceal the King's illness.

Conceal the identity of the supposed heir.

Plunge the kingdom into an unnecessary succession battle – as a result.

Yet, somehow come out of it as the victim.

Quite impressive, if you ask me.

now we need the omusuuga to help us determine the right temperature for the salon towels.. these ladies are burnin' us alive 😒

[Lawyer @UGLawyer]

Amist all this Tooro saga, here is one BIG Question?

WHAT HAPPENED TO TOORO CULTURE?

King Oyo spent much of his life outside the Kingdom to the extent of having another permanent home in Kampala, Buganda. His Sister Komuntale also seems to have nothing much attached to Tooro Culture that even his Lutoolo fluency is Questionable!

Then came the Succession: George Kamurasi, living in Britain with his white wife, was first selected but declined the offer; Edward Kijanangoma, whose current wife is from Teso and whose first wife was Rwandan, was then selected. Even royal elders now say he needs a Mutooro wife who understands Tooro culture.

Honestly, what do you mean that the next two people in succession line didn't marry Tooro ladies yet it's a major requirement before taking over Kingship? How were they Groomed, Who Groomed them and what have they been preparing for?

So I ask:

If those closest to the Tooro Throne are increasingly detached from Tooro language, lifestyle, family traditions and daily life in Tooro, are we really preserving Tooro culture or simply Preserving a Crown, Titles & Ceremonies??

To me, I Believe that a culture that isn't Lived cannot survive on Speeches & Titles alone.

EULOGY FOR HIS MAJESTY KING OYO.
There are moments when words become too small for grief.
The passing of His Majesty King Oyo is such a moment.
I mourn him on my own behalf, on behalf of the Consulate General of the Republic of Seychelles, and on behalf of Kampala Associated Advocates. But above all, I mourn him personally, as one who has walked alongside this Royal Family across generations.
His late father, King Kaboyo, was my friend and my squash-playing mate. I have shared a
long friendship and affection with the Queen Mother, Best Kemigisa, Princess Elizabeth Bagaya, and many members of the Royal Family. I therefore watched Oyo not merely as a King, but as the son of a family that has been woven into the fabric of my own life.
And perhaps that is why his passing hurts so deeply.
I remember the little boy upon whose tiny shoulders destiny placed a crown far heavier than
his years.
Most children inherit toys. Oyo inherited a Kingdom.
As a little child, he was told that he was a King. How could a child possibly comprehend the
enormity of those words?
But somewhere along the journey from childhood to manhood, Oyo must have become conscious of the extraordinary responsibility destiny had placed upon him. He grew up under the unrelenting gaze of a people and a world watching his every step. Wherever he went, eyes
followed him. His words, his dress, his walk, his friendships, even his laughter were observed
through the prism of royalty.
For any human being, let alone a child, that burden could have been overwhelming. Yet those of us who knew him witnessed something remarkable. He carried it all in his stride.And here, history must also give credit to his mother, Queen Best Kemigisa. She instilled in her son the beautiful culture of the Batooro: their gentleness, courtesy, dignity, kindness and the unmistakable softness and grace of their language.
She did it so profoundly that eventually these were no longer qualities Oyo needed to
demonstrate. They became part of him. Kingship seemed effortless.
You heard it in his voice.
You saw it in his gaze.
You recognised it in his walk, his dress, his style and even in his laughter.
There was something about his presence that inspired affection, admiration and that instinctive
royal reverence which cannot be commanded by a crown.
For Oyo, “to be or not to be” was never the question. He simply was.
He did not have to remind you that he was a King. You simply knew.
And now, painfully, the little boy who became a King has himself become part of history.
A mother has lost her son. A family has lost one of its own. Tooro has lost its King. And those
of us privileged to have watched his extraordinary journey have lost a part of our own lives.
But death does not have the final word. A crown may fall silent, but a legacy never does.
A King does not truly depart when his heartbeat stops. He lives wherever his people remember
who they are. He lives in their language, their traditions, their dignity and in the stories parents
will tell their children about those who came before them.
Perhaps that is the great mystery of human life: we are given only a season on this earth, but
what we give to others can outlive the season we are given.
Your Majesty, you came to the throne as a child. You leave behind the footprints of a King.May Almighty God, before whom every earthly crown must ultimately bow, receive you into His eternal Kingdom. May He comfort your beloved mother, the Royal Family and the entire
people of Tooro.
To say that we shall miss you is a gross understatement.
There are absences that leave an empty chair.
Yours leaves an empty space in the heart of a Kingdom.
Farewell, Your Majesty.
You have left our sight, but not our story. You have left the throne, but not the hearts of your people.
Kings may leave their thrones. Great Kings never leave their people. Rest in peace.
Uganda mourns you.

STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF TOORO

Fellow Batooro, friends of Tooro and all those who mourn with us,

As we prepare to receive His Majesty the Omukama and ultimately lay our King to rest, I appeal to every Mutooro to conduct ourselves with the dignity, restraint and decorum befitting this solemn moment.

We have lost our King. We have lost a son of Tooro whose life, leadership and service carried the name of our Kingdom far beyond our borders.

At this moment, our responsibility is not to allow disagreements, speculation or competing narratives to define these final days. Our responsibility is to protect His Majesty’s memory, honour his legacy and give him the dignified farewell he deserves.

Moments like these require leadership, not posturing. They require less talking and more organising. We are all grieving and emotions are understandably high, but leadership requires us to rise above those emotions, lead by example and never lose sight of the bigger picture.

The world is watching us, but more importantly, the people of Tooro are looking to us for leadership. How we conduct ourselves during this difficult period reflects on all Batooro. Let us therefore demonstrate the values for which our people are known: dignity, respect, unity and love for our Kingdom.

I am aware that questions have been raised regarding some of the circumstances surrounding His Majesty’s time abroad and the communication around it. I wish to clarify one matter respectfully.

The information communicated to the public that His Majesty was abroad studying, and subsequently that he was well, was communicated in accordance with His Majesty’s express wishes and direction. As someone serving him, it was my responsibility to respect his wishes and protect his privacy. I did so faithfully and respectfully.

I am also confident that His Majesty acted in good faith. He was confident in his recovery and was looking forward to returning home and reuniting with his people for the 31st Empango. He did not want to cause unnecessary alarm among his people.

Other matters have also been raised. This is neither the time nor the place to debate them. They must not be allowed to create division, controversy or distract us from the enormous responsibility before us.

There will be a proper time and forum, after His Majesty has been laid to rest, to address any matters that require clarification. For now, everything else is secondary.

I therefore appeal especially to Kingdom leaders, cultural leaders, public officials, the media, commentators and everyone using social media to exercise restraint. Words spoken in moments of grief can deepen divisions that may take years to repair. Let us choose words and actions that unite the Batooro and reflect the dignity of the Kingdom.

I also appeal for privacy and respect for the Royal Family and those who were closest to His Majesty. Their grief is deeply personal, and they must be given the space to mourn without intrusion, unnecessary speculation or pressure to speak. Their privacy and dignity should be respected throughout this difficult period.

Our duty now is simple: to receive our King with honour, lay him to rest with dignity, and stand together as one people.

Future generations will remember not only that Tooro lost its King, but also how we conducted ourselves in this moment of grief. Let them remember a people who chose unity over division, service over posturing, and leadership over controversy.

Until His Majesty has been laid to rest, let us remain united and focused on giving him the peaceful and honourable farewell he deserves.

In all that we say and do, Tooro must come first.
