This afternoon I attended the funeral service for Omubiito Patrick Baguma Jolly Ateenyi at Bugolobi COU. He died in a car accident on the Northern Bypass that has become a death trap for many people. He was a loved person by many people who knew him. I have been to that Church for many different types of services but I have never seen the church as full as it was today. The upper decks were full and getting out of Church and the parking was difficult. The Speaker of Parliament who was among the mourners as family and friend was as much squashed as other mourners on the way out of Church. The children of the deceased were as calm as their father was in real life when they stood in Church for their eulogy of their deceased father. Patrick was a political figure and a businessman but his most outstanding quality is that he was a good man with a very calming personality and presence. He was very hard working in business and at one time had for example a rare niche in fire extinguishers. Road accidents are a menace to society and many families, leaving many young people orphaned. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, Bunyoro Kingdom and the country. Rest in peace Ateenyi.

37, he risked everything for the chance to live under a different regime, but he did not make it. When you see it that way, poor governance is not just stealing your time, it is stealing your life.

Now it will rain RIP, even from those who incarcerated him for years without any clear crime and denied him quick access to treatment when he cried out; plus those that ridiculed him saying he was ‘acting’ as he fought for his life! His poor mother wept at Parliament, pleading for his bread winner son. But life went on - all she was given was money, not justice. Such is what it has become; and many more of us may have to die - as we continue to senselessly turn against each other as humans. How many more should die before we realise that all we are looking for in this short life is happiness, and that we can still be happy without making another suffer or cry! We shall surely wish Hon. Ssegirinya’s soul to rest in peace, but what peace for such a death!

Never give up but never say never.

Happy new year, here, where there's nothing new under the sun.

We've definitely all been wondering and some doing guesswork about how to identify the new (digital) government car number plates, especially since a lot of them drive like they're asleep.

📎 Please find attached (yes, we are back to finding attached) the identification guide.

@DavidTumusiime Stop it. Don't make me tske that mortar and pestle to my mother's clan.

Emotions have a place in political debate. Put your emotions. Don't let them shame you for 'being emotional' about a topic.

We like to quote revolutionaries and charismatic leaders while we bully emotions out of political and other debates. Make it make sense.

“In your journey, there will be 'in-between times' of transition. You may feel lost, confused, angry, unseen, or empty. Don’t confuse these times of transition as a forever state of being or being broken. You are breaking away from what was, creating space for what will be.”

The Omukama who was dressed in his full Cultural Regalia, was ministered to by the hereditary Chiefs as he sat on the throne in Nyamyaro amidst the playing of the requisite drums and amakondere.

[Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom @Bunyoro_Kitara]

According to Bunyoro tradition, the sitting of the King on his throne professes peace, great harvests, good health to the King's people, prosperity, Lakes to produce more fish and for his people not to drown or to get accidents.

[Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom @Bunyoro_Kitara]

The Head of the Royal Regalia Owek . George Muhuruzi invited regalia staff to come before the King and perform their respective traditional rituals.

“Those rituals are meant to prepare the King to receive reports from his people” Muhuruzi said.

[Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom @Bunyoro_Kitara]

Amidst drumming & sounding of Royal musical instruments such as Royal flutes (Amakondere), the King walked from his throne (Nyamyaro) and moved through his courtyard and passed through the houses of Mucwa, Kyamunuuma, Kyakato, Komurweyo, Kitoogo & met officials in a Royal Court.
