Grateful to H.E. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu for the trust! Parliament designated me as Chairperson of the Committee on Government Assurance & Implementation.
Your Ssabazoganyi chairing with Honorable @AdekeAnna , while my former tormentor now sits as a member under me. Life! 😅
Ugandan Member of Parliament Hon. John Musila has urged citizens to boycott South African companies operating in Uganda particularly MTN Uganda @mtnug
and Stanbic Uganda @stanbicug
in response to reports of Ugandans facing Afrophobia in South Africa.
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.’

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!
You could tell from the entire exercise today that she was internally struggling with something. Perhaps Matembe’s tears yesterday did not let her sleep peacefully, plus all the public sentiments that followed. She finally gathered the courage to say words that many of her colleagues in Temples of (in)Justice have dishonourably failed to say, as they chose to enable oppression of the persecuted. Her conscience has refused to die while she lives. It might be only one instance, but she deserves flowers and respect. Keep that way Sheilla Gloria Atim, regardless. May history count you among those that stood up in the storm. Perhaps more consciences could be gradually woken back to life. Perhaps they’ll be challenged by her courage to say those few words.
FREE DR. MIRIA MATEMBE!
Miria Matembe is a mother!
Miria Matembe is a grand mother!
Miria Matembe is a mentor!
Miria Matembe is an icon!
Miria Matembe is a fighter!
Miria Matembe is a hero!
Miria Matembe is a disciplinarian!
Miria Matembe is our Ssenga!
FREE DR. MIRIA MATEMBE!
Removing the largest party’s prerogative to appoint the LoP risks turning Opposition leadership into a transactional contest, vulnerable to manipulation and patronage.
