Sending my thoughts to the families who lost their loved ones in the road accident that occurred yesterday at Bobi Trading Centre, Omoro District, along the highway to Gulu. I extend condolences to them and wish a quick recovery to those who survived with injuries.

We owe it to ourselves to make our roads safer through better infrastructure and proper maintenance, otherwise these recurring tragedies have become too normal! May the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace.

The State prosecutors argued, and the Chief Magistrate Basemera Sarah Anne agreed, that Luzira prison was fit for him. The State’s own hospital disagrees.

On the Court’s own order, Mulago National Referral Hospital examined @EriasLukwago_ on 25 June 2026. A team of five specialists. A comprehensive report to the Chief Magistrate.

Their verdict? Hon. Erias Lukwago suffers residual nerve damage from spinal surgery, with further disc disease. A post-COVID lung condition that needs a well-ventilated environment. Irreversible ENT conditions requiring ongoing specialist care. Reflux disease and a hiatus hernia to be managed by diet and prescribed medicine.

The Mulago National Referral Hospital specialists recommend that Hon. Erias Lukwago must be reviewed by his spinal surgeons — in India. Uganda could not even repeat his MRI scan; his implant may not be compatible with the machines available here.

Mulago National Referral Hospital says he needs specialist review abroad. A prison cell cannot give him that. A remand ward would deny him the appropriate medical treatment he urgently needs.

Hon. Erias Lukwago has been charged, not convicted, of any offense. The law presumes him innocent. The law entitles him to ask for bail. He has a right to health, life and dignity. It is the duty of the Court to protect these fundamental human rights and freedoms.

A man whom our finest doctors say needs care beyond our borders is being held in a place that cannot provide even an MRI. This is inhumane, absurd and outrageous.

This is about a human life, a medical fact, and a simple question of conscience. Now is the time for everyone to act fast to save the life of Hon. Erias Lukwago.

Museveni’s son said he is very proud of the pain and hurt he is inflicting on former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. He must be very proud of himself, seeing this video. But as the saying goes, no one is tall enough to see the future. One day, the tables will turn and all these atrocities will be accounted for, one by one.

[National Unity Platform @NUP_Ug]

In the televised public address of July 4th, Gen. Yoweri Museveni, who was responding to concerns of the deteriorating rights abuses mired by rampant abductions, reiterated that Ugandans should, in fact, be grateful that suspects are at least arraigned in the courts of law. He claimed that, unlike in the past where Ugandans would be killed on sight during arrest, suspects now have the privilege to appear in court and should, therefore, be grateful. Imagine that kind of impunity!

Well, reflecting on his whitewashing remarks justifying the prevailing lawlessness, we bring to his attention the plight of #TheMissing18 citizens who were disappeared in 2020-2021.

What does he have to say to the families of John Bosco Kibalama that have endured six solid years of pain? What will he say to the family of John Ddamulira? What does he have to say to the family of Sam Mugumya and Christopher Goddy, aka King Zale, who are the latest people to get abducted and have spent months minus being arraigned before court?

There’s too much impunity that we must call out and resist as Ugandans!

Dear Davido, RESPECT is an understatement!

A few days from now, it will be three months since Christopher Goddy, a comrade and musician better known as 'King Zale,' was abducted from Kamokya. His family is very distressed, having looked for him everywhere without a trace.

As usual, the regime whose men abducted King Zale remains completely silent about his whereabouts – the same silence it has maintained about all other comrades who have been missing for several years now! We continue demanding for his immediate release from illegal detention and an end to this impunity!

This morning at the @NUP_Ug Western Regional Office in Mbarara. We encourage those who wish to run for L.C.1 positions in the region and those who want to get various party services to get to the office during working hours for assistance. Together, we can make a difference.

Our comrades are supposed to be brought to the Kanyanya Magistrates Court today for their case. Hoping the presiding magistrate will not again find another excuse to be absent. Lest we forget, these comrades have spent over 180 days illegally on remand and hence qualify for mandatory bail as they grapple with these trumped up charges of ‘unlawful drilling.’

In a country with a serious government, these three individuals @AAgather, @SpireJim and @GodwinTOKO would be awarded national honours for opening the lid and blowing the whistle on the grand corruption that was taking place in Parliament. I can't help but remember the kind of vitriol they received from regime apologists for releasing details of shocking transactions of billions landing on personal accounts. At the highest level, they were branded traitors and agents of foreigners.

Today, the same facts they revealed are stated in court documents. Even when the regime continues to harass them for their work, this moment provides all of us a lesson that when you remain consistent at doing the right thing, you'll most certainly be vindicated at the right time.

Relieved to learn that Hon. Miria Matembe has been granted bail following her abduction last week. It remains a shame that Matembe, a 73-year-old grandmother with an unblemished record of public service, had to suffer this ordeal in the first place!

Remember, Matembe was subjected to this ordeal because she bruised the fragile ego of Muhoozi Kainerugaba -- the dictator's infantile son -- when she criticized him. It really takes special cowardice for an army commander approaching 60 years of old age to flex State power on a defenceless grandmother whose courage he can never match in 100 lifetimes.

More shameful, the regime that practices sectarianism openly charged Matembe with "Promoting Sectarianism."

Imagine the very regime that breathes and practises sectarianism, claiming the moral authority to prosecute those who expose its sectarianism!

We shall have to unite and find a lasting solution for these blood-thirsty tyrants!

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

First, there was a wave of abductions of @NUP_Ug supporters - mostly targeting foot soldiers. Some people said those were hooligans who deserved to be taught a lesson. "Even hooligans deserve due process.", we cried out. Many people looked the other way.

Now, they're abducting the most accomplished in our society.

Maybe if we had worked collectively to protect the lowest in our society, the regime would never have been emboldened to come for the highest in our society.

The same lesson applies to those who are indifferent to the happenings, whether they feel safe on account of being in power, close to those in power, or simply unconcerned.

[wes @weskambale]

one of the most self-defeatin' habits we've normalized as ugandans is outsourcin' courage

i see too many people use their voice, not to speak about the issue itself, but to demand that someone else speak on their behalf

"where is so-and-so?"
"why hasn't this person tweeted?"
"why is that leader silent?"

yet you remain silent yourself

if an issue affects you, your voice matters too

civic action is not sustained by a handful of prominent figures; it's sustained by thousands of ordinary people consistently refusin' to be silent

when we repeatedly push the same few people to the front, the establishment knows exactly who to watch, intimidate, arrest, or isolate

once those individuals are neutralized, the movement loses momentum while everyone waits for the next "hero" to emerge

dictators struggle to suppress 1 million voices, they find it much easier to suppress 10

imagine if everyone who demanded that another person speak instead used their own account, their own whatsapp status, their own conversations, and their own platform to speak, question, document, and organize

the cumulative effect would be far greater than waitin' for a celebrity, politician, journalist, or activist to carry the burden alone

don't underestimate your reach because your tweet gets 4 likes and 1 retweet

social change has never depended on virality; it depends on persistence

every voice that joins makes silence harder to enforce

instead of askin', "why isn't someone speakin'?"

ask, "why am i not?"

28th June 2026 | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STATEMENT ON THE CLOSURE AND MILITARY SIEGE OF UGANDAN MEDIA HOUSES AFFILIATED TO THE NATION MEDIA GROUP

The National Unity Platform strongly condemns the military’s arbitrary closure and continuing siege of @ntvuganda, The @DailyMonitor, @sparktvuganda, @DembeFm, and other media houses under the @NationMediaGrp that started at dawn today Sunday, 28th June 2026.

The closure, enforced outside any known legal framework, is a primitive attack on press freedom and the citizens’ right to access information -- moreover by a regime now committing even worse tyranny than what it supposedly sought to end when it waged the 1980s war.

We stand in solidarity with the journalists, editors, staff, leadership and audience of the affected media houses, and empathize with all who are going to bear the related economic losses.

We urge all citizens and institutions, particularly political actors and members of the civil society, to prepare for increased repression in the coming days owing to the deepening constitutional crisis in the country.

Historically, the determination of Ugandans to be free has outlasted every regime that thought it was powerful enough to stay forever or clever enough to mutate into another. We remain confident that this time, too, the people’s aspirations for a free and democratic country shall prevail.

END
