@Ochieno @KennethOmona @NadaAndersen @KagutaMuseveni @KennethOmona Truth is not an ideological missile to be fired when public outrage becomes impossible to ignore. If torture is indeed against the values that shaped the liberation struggle, then condemnation must be followed by action not selective concern.

[OFWONO GEORGE OPONDO OSINDE @OfwonoGeorge]

The question Ugandans are asking is simple: if these abuses make the government "look bad," who has allowed them to happen, and why have they persisted? Justice is measured not by statements from Nakasero but by independent investigations, prosecutions, and an end to impunity.

[Dr Kenneth Omona Olusegun @KennethOmona]

Mzee @KagutaMuseveni , the cadres of the FRONASA/NRA are very happy with the Ideological missile you have just fired from your Pen launcher in Nakasero . The feeling is Triumphant for us.
You addressed our virtues on Torture. It should set us apart from the regimes that we fought. Thank you sir.
Apart from Nuwagaba Stephen, there is a disturbing clip that emerged a few days ago, of a visibly tortured/maimed man , Sam Mugumya, a Ugandan from Rukungiri , who disappeared last year. It’s making us NRA / @NRMOnline look bad , may his holders produce him in the courts of law if he has a case to answer - it’s justice. You may not have known about it.
Thank you sir.

Real change begins when communities become part of the solution. Every voice captured through Community-Led Monitoring is a step toward more accountable, responsive, and people-centered health services. Wishing the CLM Semester IV team a successful implementation across Tororo.

[TDYAN-YOVANU @Tyovanu]

In collaboration with the Tororo District Local Government, @tyovanu has begun implementing Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) Semester IV activities by orienting newly chosen health facilities that the district has designated.

@SsemujjuNganda1 Maybe the protection of sovereignty bill she passed limited her blessings from the Vatican from working in Uganda since it's foreign.

My takeaway from today's Weekend Edition on Faith in the Digital Age with Fr. @AlonsoOpio
Before I post, share or comment, I'll ask:
✓ Is it true?
✓ Is it necessary?
✓ Is it kind?
✓ Does it glorify God?
May every click reflect Christ. #FaithInTheDigitalAge #ThinkBeforeYouPost

A powerful conversation today because ending teenage pregnancy requires informed communities, shared responsibility, and collective action. Every voice matters.

[TDYAN-YOVANU @Tyovanu]

Through its collaboration with Media TDYAN YOVANU took conversations to the airwaves today at Rock City Radio, putting teenage pregnancy in Tororo firmly in the spotlight, turning airtime into accountability, expertise into action, public dialogue into community solutions

Every eligible voter deserves an equal opportunity to participate, and stronger safeguards are needed to protect the integrity of the electoral process.

[The New Vision @newvisionwire]

The Electoral Commission (EC) has ordered fresh voter registration in four villages in Tororo district where LC1 elections could not be concluded due to stolen voter registers, while byelections will be held in two other villages following the deaths of the declared winners.

True accountability goes beyond commitments; it requires action. Every barrier to SRHR services, whether cost, stigma, distance, or discrimination, is a barrier to dignity and human rights. It's time to turn promises into measurable change. #SRHR #Accountability

[TDYAN-YOVANU @Tyovanu]

Sexual and reproductive health and rights are not privileges; they are rights. Accountability means ensuring every young person can access quality, affordable, and respectful SRHR services without discrimination. #SRHR #Accountability #YouthVoices #HealthForAll

If torture is illegal under Uganda's Constitution, why do allegations of torture continue to be linked to Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba?

The rule of law should apply equally to everyone.

[Dr. Bireete Sarah @SarahBireete]

Chairman @norbertmao thank you for raising the 🚩 on abuse of human rights and break down of rule of law. We expect actions that will deliver improvements in the short and medium terms #FreeUganda

[OFWONO GEORGE OPONDO OSINDE @OfwonoGeorge]

.@mkainerugaba, true leadership is shown through justice, not power. Set aside pride, uphold due process, and let justice prevail. If there is no lawful basis for Erias Lukwago's continued detention, he should be released. Justice must always come before control.

#RuleOfLaw

[Agather Atuhaire @AAgather]

I would like to ask that we all rally behind the call for bail for Erias Lukwago before it’s too late🙏 he shouldn’t be like @kizzabesigye1’s brother Saasi and Hon. Segirinya. #SaveEriasLukwago #FreeEriasLukwago

Those attempting the speakers life should know we have the Luo approach.

[Nyanjura Doreen Omutatina @DoreenNyanjura]

While Ugandans have sleepless nights over abductions and torture basements, the Speaker of Parliament, Rt hon @ObothOboth who presides over parliament with a constitutional mandate to regulate the military is losing sleep over witchcraft in his office! Ladies and gentlemen, the Speaker has requested for our prayers; his life is in danger, he only attracts night mares when he sleeps.

Religious leaders even showed up at his office to chase the demons, but it looks like the spirits are refusing to vacate😃

[OFWONO GEORGE OPONDO OSINDE @OfwonoGeorge]

Happy Birthday, Fr. @AlonsoOpio
Working with you has been a blessing. Your humility, wisdom, and compassionate leadership continue to inspire us. May God grant you good health, abundant grace, and many more years of faithful service. HBD, Father. God richly bless you always.

Being part of a team that cares for one another, stands for the voiceless and champions equity has been my dream since childhood. I am proud and grateful to have played my part and to belong to such an inspiring team. Together, we prove that change begins with people who care.

Earlier today, I addressed the nation at @UgandaMediaCent on the ongoing evacuation of Ugandan nationals from South Africa.

Please find the full press statement below:

His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda, has directed that arrangements be made for the evacuation of Ugandan nationals from
South Africa following the escalating anti-migrant violence and xenophobic protests by vigilante groups over the past few months.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working in close coordination with the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Works and Transport, the Uganda High Commission in South Africa, and the leadership of the Ugandan community in South Africa, is finalizing an evacuation plan that is expected to commence in the next few days.

Currently, 746 (seven hundred and forty-six) Ugandans have voluntarily registered and sought assistance for evacuation due to security and safety concerns, and more are expected to register.

Additionally, many Ugandans have already left South Africa on their own following the 30 June 2026 deadline reportedly issued by the vigilante groups. It should be noted that the governments of some African countries have also evacuated their nationals from South Africa under the current circumstances.

The evacuation plan entails the registration of affected Ugandans across the various provinces, their transfer to safe assembly centres, the issuance of emergency travel documents where necessary, and coordination with relevant immigration authorities to facilitate their departure from South Africa.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Works and Transport, arrangements are being made for Uganda Airlines to provide special charter flights for the evacuation exercise. These flights will be funded by the Government of Uganda.

In the meantime, the Government of Uganda continues to engage the Government of the Republic of South Africa on this matter to ensure
the security and safety of Ugandan nationals still residing there.

On a sad note, the Government regrets to report that one Ugandan lost his life following an attack in KwaZulu-Natal Province. We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family. Preparations are underway to repatriate the body to Uganda.

Under our New #SafeChoices Project, implemented in partnership with @IpasOrg and funded by Bergstrom, we are working to reduce the high rates of teenage pregnancy in Tororo District. It is being implemented in Osukuru T/C, Mukuju and Sop-Sop Sub-county, which are burdened.

Then agree with us at @UPCSecretariat that @NRMOnline is full of bandits, How can chicken thieves suffer in prison while looters on an industrial scale are set free.

[Daudi Kabanda @DaudiKabanda]

If we’re serious about fighting corruption, we can’t stop at exciting the public with House arrests and headlines. People must be prosecuted and convicted so everyone learns the lesson. This habit of forgiving, only for them to fight us again later demoralizes every anti-corruption crusader. You can’t convict Nandutu over 300 iron sheets, then forgive the one who stole the entire economy. The law must apply equally big or small fish.
