As a woman I am extremely aware that the reason I have my rights is because a woman somewhere got up, got MOUTHY, organised, raged, made herself INCREDIBLY inconvenient until things changed for the better for all of us. Which is precisely why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors to all women.

For the 2nd time today, court has again been adjourned to 4:30pm to allow the presiding Magistrate to prepare the ruling.
#FreeMiriaMatembe
#IStandWithMatembe
The accused had requested to speak before court but the Magistrate stated that she would grant the accused time to speak only if they accept to receive the bail ruling tomorrow.
In that regard, the defence team asked the accused to let the Magistrate go ahead and prepare the ruling.

State is also arguing that the National ID or passport of the accused (Miria Matembe) has not been presented to court which is a primary bail requirement.
On the issue of advanced age of the applicant, prosecution states that it is not a mandatory ground for bail.
The third issue contested by prosecution is that applicant has no fixed place of aboard because as raised by defence that the applicant fled her home upon the invention by security operatives, one of the strong grounds of bail is a fixed place of aboard which the applicant doesn't have at the moment because she was said to be in hiding in different residences.
Prosecution also stresses that it is very important for the satisfaction of court to know if the applicant knows her sureties and it has been proved to court that the applicant doesn't know her sureties because she doesn't even know where they reside.
The state also highlighted that one of the sureties Hon. Akello Lucy presented to court a telephone number which is registered in the names of Sarah Namuswa.
State suggests that there is a likelihood that the surety is not being truthful which worries the state on the credibility of the surety.
State also brought to the attention of court that surety Lucy Akello is an MP in Amuru District and the state wonders how someone taken up with duties in such a distant place will be able to conduct her role as a surety to compel the accused to appear for court proceedings.
State also queried the credibility of surety Godber Tumushabe whose contact is registered in the names of a woman called Ashemereire.
The state expressed fear that they might not be able to trace the sureties incase the accused absconds from court.
State also brought to the attention of court that the accused has not presented any previous medical records yet one of the grounds that the applicant is applying for bail is on medical grounds.
In conclusion, the state alleys fear that the character of the accused, mainly how she is presenting herself in court shows that the applicant is likely to violate bail terms.
The state also has asked court that in a likelihood that bail is granted, the accused should deposit her passport to court because the applicant already told court that she has been on the run and there is a likelihood that the applicant will run away from trial.

14 March 2007.

Kampala High Court.

Over 700 lawyers, dressed in white shirts and black suits, gathered in silence.

They had been on strike for three days.

Now they were here to perform an ancient ritual of purification.

At the front, a lawyer held aloft a blood‑stained shirt, evidence of what the state had done in this very building two weeks earlier.

The Cleansing of the Court - 2007

The procession, led by Chief Justice Benjamin Odoki and Uganda Law Society President Oscar John Kihika, circled the court building in a symbolic cleansing ceremony.

Kihika described it as an "age‑old African ritual designed to purify the court."

The bloodied shirt and tie belonged to Kiyemba Mutale, a lawyer who had been beaten unconscious during a government raid on the High Court on 1 March.

That day, armed security forces from the "Black Mamba" anti‑terrorism unit had stormed the criminal registry to re‑arrest nine treason suspects who had just been granted bail after 15 months in detention.

During the hours‑long standoff, Mutale was attacked.

The suspects were beaten, bundled into a police vehicle, and taken away.

The raid was a grim echo of November 2005, when the same unit had laid siege to the High Court to prevent the release of the same men during Kizza Besigye's presidential campaign.

The 2007 attack triggered an unprecedented response.

On 5 March, Uganda's judges went on a week‑long strike to protest the assault on judicial independence.

On 12 March, the Uganda Law Society began its own three‑day sit‑down strike, demanding an apology and concrete reforms.

Five ULS members who held high‑level government positions were suspended.

Justice James Ogoola captured the gravity:

"The point had to be made. They will not survive unless the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and all other fundamental principles that hold the nation together are back to form."

President Museveni eventually expressed regret for the incident and promised a "legal and transparent modus operandi" for future arrests.

The judges and lawyers returned to work.

But the ceremony on 14 March was more than a conclusion, it was a declaration.

Mutale's bloodied shirt, held high before the committee tasked with investigating the raid, was not just evidence.

It was a symbol that the judiciary would not be cowed.

The cleansing was not merely ritual.

It was a line drawn in the dust of a courtroom, a reminder that even in the face of armed men, the law could still speak.

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

While this seems acted, it is true that it is dangerous to put our lives in the hands of unpaid and demotivated medical interns. This is not just about them, it is a national health risk. There is a lot of money wasted on luxury, useless things and useless people. We can’t say we’ve failed to find money for overworked needy young people entrusted with citizens’ lives. A country that demotivates its health workers is a country that doesn’t value lives of its citizens.

In a world that often focuses on limitations, Ntege James from St. Maria Goretti s.s.s Katende chose to highlight possibilities. With bravery and passion, the student living with cerebral palsy used his voice to remind us that equality is not privilege,it is a right for every human being 🙏.
