this man has very many stories about his birth and growing up. i guess the ugandan authorities were spot on when it came to the role of state minister for internal affairs.

Prof. Mondo Kagonyera: "Fortunately, I was in Parliament when we passed the law allowing dual citizenship. We deliberately excluded certain positions from being held by people with other nationalities. The main concern was dual loyalty."Mondo is a former cabinet minister.

What Gashumba should have known before advising Dr. Muganga to go to mukono to show us their burial place

[Ka Mellon 'Nameere' @KK_Mellon]

Exactly.... Thank you, Hussein!!

[Godwin Agaba @Godwin6Agaba]

Whether one supports @ReachDrMuganga appointment or not is ultimately secondary. The real issue is far more important: what does the Muganga affair reveal about Uganda’s vulnerability to foreign influence, penetration, and state security failures?

Tayebwa is indeed a patriot

[Hussein Kashillingi @hkashillingi]

@ReachDrMuganga is undermining a legitimate debate by framing it as discrimination against him as a Munyarwanda. That is not the issue. An expired passport does not mean one ceases to be a citizen; a passport is merely a travel document. Many Ugandan citizens do not even hold passports.

The real issue is straightforward: if you acquired Rwandan citizenship while working in Rwanda, Canadian citizenship while in Canada, and later Ugandan citizenship, then simply state the facts as they are. There is nothing inherently wrong with holding multiple citizenships. The question is whether Uganda’s Constitution and laws permit a person with that citizenship history to hold certain offices, including that of Minister. That is the debate—not ethnicity.

[Karitas Karisimbi @KaritasKarisim2]

I would like to share a personal reflection on the ongoing conversations around citizenship, identity, and public service in Uganda. I was born and raised in Uganda. It is the country that shaped me, educated me, gave me opportunities, and allowed me to serve to the best of my ability. When my Ugandan passport was revoked years ago, it was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. It felt deeply personal and, at the time, heartbreaking. I was asked to choose between aspects of my identity that, to me, had never been in conflict. After much reflection, I decided that what mattered most was my ability to continue living, working, and contributing to the country I call home. I subsequently obtained a Rwandan passport and a work permit. While the process brought inconvenience and frustration, it never stopped me from continuing to work, build, contribute, and serve alongside fellow Ugandans. Though I am of Rwandan heritage, I have always considered myself Ugandan in every meaningful sense of the word, having lived here my entire life. That experience taught me an important lesson: service to one’s country is not measured solely by the passport one carries, but by the contribution one makes, the values one upholds, and the commitment one demonstrates to the people around them. As we debate recent appointments and questions of citizenship, I believe our focus should remain on competence, integrity, service, and the value individuals can bring to Uganda. Institutions responsible for appointments should be allowed to perform their duties, while the rest of us assess leaders by the impact they make.
Uganda’s story has always been one of diverse communities, cultures, and histories living alongside one another. Our identities are often more interconnected than we sometimes acknowledge. That diversity should be a source of strength rather than division. I also wish to say this respectfully: those who seek to inflame tensions or claim to speak for all Banyarwanda do not speak for me. I have never denied my heritage, nor have I ever stopped loving Uganda. The loss of a passport did not diminish my affection for this country or my desire to contribute to its future. We are a peaceful people. We are neighbours, colleagues, friends, and family members. The conversations we have today will shape the country our children inherit tomorrow. Let us therefore choose wisdom over anger, unity over division, and dialogue over suspicion. I love Uganda, and I remain grateful for all it has given me. I also remember a time when many people of Rwandan heritage living in Uganda felt unable to openly acknowledge that part of who they were. We have made significant progress since then. Let us not move backwards. Let us continue building a society where people are judged by their character, contribution, and commitment to the common good.
Peace, respect, and togetherness must always come first #peace #respect #love #understanding

[Beewol @beewol]

@PoliceUg @MODVA_UPDF you need to immediately pick interest in this matter. These are reckless & potentially criminal statements and should be treated as such.

Ugandan Citizenship by Birth is not a function of Geography of birth.

A Ugandan citizen by birth is anyone born in or outside Uganda who has at least one parent or grandparent belonging to an indigenous community residing within Uganda's borders as of February 1, 1926.

They’re arresting protesters for very mild statements about regime sycophants but this fella just threatens terrorism and no one bats an eyelid!

We’re such an interesting bunch!

[Great Kwiza Nantaba @greatkwizamk]

Mr. Frank Gashumba is threatening to start an M23 war in Uganda because Muganga Lawrence was denied the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He’s probably revealing their secrets out of anger. It shows they’ve had this plan to overthrow the Gov’t all along.
