Why would I CHOOSE btn this one and that one when I know I can have BOTH?

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim has spent years using his voice and talents to hold power accountable as his contribution towards a better society for us all.

Instead of honoring his work, the regime is actively working to silence him through, among other oppressive tactics. A court order was recently issued against him, by which he is required to pay a total of UGX 30,000,000/= within 14 days or spend three months in prison. Why? Because he made a post on his social media platform calling out an injustice that, in the court's wisdom, amounts to contempt.

I am calling on all Ugandans of good conscience, in Uganda and abroad, to stand with Dr. Spire in whatever way we can, and help him resolve this challenge.

The official fundraising campaign begins on Monday. However, do not drink your contribution over the weekend. Send mobile money via to [phone] (MTN) in the name of Agather Atuhaire. Reason: SPIRE. Together, we cannot stop @kiuvarsity from weaponizing the @JudiciaryUG to silence and detain @SpireJim over a UGX.30m “contempt of Court” award. SEND THE MONEY 👇🏿

[KIIZA ERON @kiizaeron]

@JudiciaryUG CAN FINE HIM. BUT WE SHOULDN’T ALLOW THEM TO SILENCE @SpireJim.

High Court presided over by His Worship Kintu Simon Zirintusa, a Registrar of the High Court of Uganda (Civil Division) at Kampala has adjudged Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo afoul of “contempt of court” — for a tweet.

One of Uganda’s most respected lecturers, cartoonists and public voices has been ordered to pay 30 million shillings, or be committed to civil prison for three months, because he spoke publicly about money Kampala International University refused to refund or transfer — money belonging to the sons of his late brother.

This is oppressive Court order is a gag order dressed in legal robes. It is an attack on freedom of expression, and on every Ugandan’s right to ask a powerful institution to account for how it treats the people in its care.

The one man demanding accountability is the one facing a prison cell. When a university can walk into a courtroom and walk out with the power to silence, intimidate and threaten to jail a prominent lecturer and national figure — what fate waits for an ordinary student who dares to disagree with it? What happens to the current and former students KIU has oppressed, who have no platform, no name, and no one watching?

WE SHOULD RAISE THE MONEY. He must not be silenced. Our voices matter. I need your help here. In the words of Miria Matembe, we must all be annoyed. Give me ideas on raising the money and challenging the KIU impunity.

In a country where ministers steal iron sheets, how can there be such unclaimed pieces of land? Man, you don't rate our levels of greed? 🤷‍♂️

Umwishwa @edtabaro, sit down before you sprain something trying to sound profound. Congrats on noticing @kiizaeron is good. Nobody serious disputes that, he ably represents me as my lead counsel domestically and internationally. But Dr. Besigye chose Karua as lead counsel. That is his constitutional right to counsel of choice, not a faculty ranking graded by a radio guest who once marked exam scripts (and whose presence in the studio rather occupies more space than the argument).

Why was @MarthaKarua SC, former Justice Minister, duly licensed to practise in Uganda, singled out, phones seized, held incommunicado, declared persona non grata, and deported from Entebbe? Not because she failed to master procedure or authority but because the system decided her presence was inconvenient.

And Eron, the one you praise, the state still dragged him into the dock, secured a military-court conviction for contempt without proper process, locked him up for months, and played games with his passport. I didn’t see you advocate for his freedom. All for discharging the same brief.

If the metric is pure technical brilliance in an ordinary courtroom, perhaps some of your former students edge her on a quiet day. But this is no ordinary courtroom. This is a political prosecution in which the state repeatedly attempts to dismantle the defence team. Besigye did not instruct Karua for media flair. He instructed her because she was prepared to stand when the temperature rose and the regime’s reaction to both her and Eron proves the point.

It is not about who scored highest in your class, Tabaro. It is about a client’s right to counsel of choice under pressure. Reducing the matter to “activism versus courtroom guru” merely shows either a failure to grasp the case or a performance for the cameras.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You no longer call me by the way, why kekekeke I am still your Inarume, silly. 🤪

Dear DHL, this delivery discrimination has to end or I’ll see you personally in court. As an author who ships signed books through you daily, I’ve watched packages fly to North America and Europe in record time. Yet when the destination is Africa, suddenly the yellow arrow turns into a snail.

Last year, parcels to Johannesburg and Cape Town took a full year. In May 2026 I sent one to Zambia. It’s now August and the tracking still shows nothing delivered.

Another time I sent four books to Canada… my reader only received one. Did you steal the rest? Look, stealing a book is almost flattering but what exactly am I supposed to tell a paying customer who ordered four signed copies and got one lonely survivor?

Are your logistics systems allergic to the Global South, or is this just selective competence mixed with sticky fingers?

I’m not usually this blunt, but after months of silence, vanishing packages, and disappearing books, the polite version of Rukirabachwezi has expired. If you can’t deliver to Africa with the same speed and reliability you give the Global North, then stay out of the continent’s business.

What behooves me is that when you use DHL in Africa to send to something to Europe, it is fast but extremely expensive.

Fix it. Or explain why African readers are treated like second-class destinations.
