"In Tanzania, they change presidents. In Kenya, they change families. In Uganda, we have the same president. But in Tanzania, they have the same party. In China, the same. So you cannot call it democracy simply because heads have changed. The institutions have remained the same. The command structure has remained the same."
Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, Senior Advocate speaking @elisonk
"President @KagutaMuseveni once said that Uganda is not landlocked, we are land linked. That changed my thinking."

"Filing causes before the East African Court of Justice is not different from the manner in which we do so here except that you must file a copy of your practicing certificate. And you do not need to fly to Arusha anymore. Sub-registries have been created. In Uganda at the Supreme Court. If you want to sue any entity before the East African Court of Justice, run to the Supreme Court. There is a registry designed for that purpose."
Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, Senior Advocate
"Under the civil law system of the DRC, there is strict application of provisions. There must be something you read and apply with equal force in such a way that you leave no room for interpretation. When you are advising a client in DRC, you do not leave gaps. That is the fundamental difference from our common law system."
Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, Senior Advocate speaking @elisonk
"Uganda now takes politicians for a job and considers comedians serious people. We are faced with an inverse interpretation of leadership. There are fewer intellectuals in politics. And a country cannot move where the representatives of the population do not know what must be done."
Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, Senior Advocate speaking @elisonk
