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.
Office of the @IGGUganda has arrested 8 senior officials from @Parliament_Ug over corruption-related allegations involving financial misconduct. The suspects are expected to be arraigned before the Anti-Corruption Court.
AGORA previously highlighted these cases in our accountability work and welcomes this development as a step toward institutional accountability. We will continue to highlight all related cases as proceedings unfold. We emphasise that due process, transparency, and the rule of law must be upheld throughout this process.

I’ve walked among the thoughtless crowd, Where ignorance is long and loud, I’ve seen the dull, the dense, the blind,
The empty depths of stunted mind.
I’ve watched the fools parade their state, And wondered at the hand of fate; But none have reached the height you make, You sit alone….you take the cake.🧢
In his ruling on the request by the defence to stay proceedings until the issues of the defence legal team are determined, Justice Baguma has stated that the application that was filed yesterday has been granted and that the applicants are granted permission to assemble another group of lawyers from today to the 2nd of July not exceeding 6pm.
On the application of nullifying @MarthaKarua's persona non grata designation, Court has granted the applicants upto 6th July to file written submissions and a ruling will be delivered on 8th July through ECCMIS.
Dr. Besigye raised a concern that the respondents have not been served upto date because of what has been going on and that their lawyers are on the run because of threats from the respondents and that court merely advising them to assemble another team of lawyers without a guarantee that the new lawyers will also not be on the run because of threats from the respondents.
He stated that the issues to be addressed about their lawyers is not a matter of simply assembling other lawyers without addressing the issues of threats on the legal team representing him.

While Dr. Besigye was still making his submission, Justice Baguma once again just stormed out of the court room without announcing the date on which the matter has been adjourned to.
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.
12 law firms have united to defend Dr. Kizza Besigye in his ongoing court case, forming a joint legal team to bolster his defence.

US Senator Jim Risch demands a review of Washington's security ties with Uganda after Military Chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba closes three media outlets.
The U.S. needs to review its security relationship with Uganda. Gen. @mkainerugaba's attacks on free speech, including shuttering major media houses this weekend, make him & the UPDF unfit partners. We should only work with those who advance regional security, not diminish it.
Was it #PLU or @GovUganda that took the action to close the two media houses? Or maybe let us know if the @NRMOnline that Ugandans elected on 15th January 2026 is no more, and we just settle down.
