As I was leaving Luzira prison to check on our illegally jailed colleagues, I bumped into Igara East MP @MichealMawanda1 the Architect of the 164Bn cooperatives Heist at the entrance of where he should be confined!
I did the moral duty to deliver the message to the end consumer!

The offices remain under military siege following an order by President Museveni's son and military chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to shut down Nation Media Group (NMG) Uganda outlets.
A similar siege has been reported at the NTV and Spark TV broadcast centre at Serena Hotel since around 12am on Sunday, where military officials have since taken the stations off air.
Other affected outlets include Dembe FM, KFM, and The East African, all under NMG.

Mark, with all due respect — the UAE doesn’t need a permission slip from Washington to conduct its foreign policy. The UAE has 3 islands illegally occupied by Iran, a shared maritime border, and billions in bilateral trade exposure. Managing that reality isn’t “coddling” — it’s called statecraft, something that requires nuance beyond a cable news monologue.
The UAE stood firmly against Iranian proxies, hosted the US Fifth Fleet’s logistics, signed the Abraham Accords, and has been one of the most consistent partners in regional stability. If pragmatic diplomacy reads as weakness to you, perhaps the question is whether your framework is equipped to understand a region you’re watching from 7,000 miles away.
Frustration is understandable. Oversimplification, however, is not analysis.
It’s a beautiful Saturday morning. Many youthful & not so youthful ladies are up early, walking for body goals. You’ll spot them easily: colorful sneakers, caps to keep the sun away, lip gloss (aah, lip gloss!), and the famous gym leggings that come in all colors and designs. A 🧵 1/4
@Iamkabareebe No amount of comforting can stop the pain, the regrets you must be feeling right now. I just hope you are and pray you are strong enough to face this.
For thirty years and more, I looked at Miria Matembe with utmost respect. Even when she was too loud or too bold, I had nothing but respect for her. She spoke her mind with people's interests at heart. She never changed. She is a treasure we must protect. A national treasure. A woman of character. A fighter for a better Uganda. A voice of wisdom and reason. Wherever she is, I hope she is safe and protected. Because, honestly, if Miria Matembe ends up in jail, we will lose the last crumbs of decency as a country.
My heart goes out to Maama Dr. Miria Matembe who is being hunted down and our sister @SarahBireete who just got raided. May you still gather the courage to speak your truth during this difficult time.
They have built a throne for fear to reign among us and when they raid our homes and strip our dignity bare, they think they will undress our courage! We condemn every act of cruelty being unleashed on Uganda’s daughters, women and mothers.
To the sisters who have been beaten, raped, raided, left alone to fend for families while the breadwinners are abducted, kept in unknown detention and silenced. Be of courage! Injustice doesn’t reign forever! History will remember your wounds!
