Stealing from government is actually stealing from the poor. You must be so inhumane to even steal posho and beans meant for the poor. Just food ! When Govt decides to help the vulnerable it should be treated as a noble cause. How will u be considered rich if the poor are dead?
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.
It makes no sense to ban NTV from covering Parliament.
Creating an environment where journalism thrives works in everyone’s favour.
Parliament must do the right thing..
Trump: I was in New York, and I met a great police officer in New York. He said, “Sir, I want to thank you.”
I said, “For what?”
He said, “My wife didn’t think very much of me. We were having marital difficulties, actually. She thought I was nothing. I’m a police officer. I’m a tough guy.”
I looked at him—the muscles were all over the place. He didn’t suffer from that, but she thought maybe that muscle wasn’t so good because he was always losing money in the stock market.
And he said, “Sir, in the last year and a half, my 401(k) is up 74%, sir, and she thinks I’m Warren Buffett. She thinks I’m a super genius.”
I said, “How are you getting along with her?”
He said, “Well, I’m not so sure I like her anymore.”
QUOTE: "The other day I was telling people—I think I was in Mbale—and I said, 'Poor people will not go to Heaven.' They said, 'Hey, you man, you've committed sacri— I said you will not go to Heaven, do you know why? 'When you are poor, you won't go to Heaven. Do you know why? Because a poor man wakes up in the morning, first thing they do is curse God: 'God, oh God, why did you make me poor? Why is everybody else better than me?' >God gave you a head and brain for free. He gave you hands for free. He gave you legs for free. He gave you energy for free. He gave you land for free. He gives you rain for free. Then you curse God for not giving you money? God gave you the attributes of making money. That's why he has not come here to set up a business. God has no business, he doesn't look for a job, he doesn't earn a salary, so he can't give you money because he doesn't make money. But he has given you assets for making money. So stop blaming God for your poverty. In Uganda here, the poverty is in your head"- Gen (rtd) Kahinda Otafiire.

As a young activist, my own family worried when we took a stand against injustice and challenged those in power.
But I always came home. Mama Rex's son did not, Eric Shieni did not, Evans Kiratu did not, Denzel Omondi and many other children who answered the call of conscience in June 2024 but did not make it home.
June 25th is a day to remember young Kenyans who believed enough in their country to stand up for it.
A day to stand with the families who continue to carry that loss and a day to affirm that no Kenyan should lose their life for demanding accountability, justice, and a better future.
On June 25th, let us stand together in remembrance, solidarity, and hope for those we lost and the families they left behind.
