It is a pity that some few individuals like former Deputy Mayor of Kampala City, Hon Nyanjura Doreen and the group are trying to apportion blame for the waves of arrests and alleged kidnaps or abductions which have rocked the country's security space in recent weeks on Hon Mao.
If, or should I say when, the current status quo changes in Uganda, weโll have to live with its proponents.
Besides the very few members of the ruling elite who can flee the country, the vast majority of its supporters have nowhere else to go. Uganda is our only home. They, and their families, will be here.
It therefore behooves the supporters of the current establishment to take a long-term view, and to educate themselves, that patriotism is not a forced love of the country, but our ability to accommodate each other in our diversity - knowing that power is transient, a revolving door - and that our collective security lies in our abilities to accommodate each other.
Todayโs Muhooziโs are tomorrowโs Malyamungus (Aminโs dreaded henchman), todayโs Birungis (now Otto -the (in)famous CMI) are tomorrowโs Rwakasis or Buturus (Oboteโs vicious enforcers).
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we must learn to live together as brothers (and sisters) or perish as fools.

๐ โก๏ธ I am quietly in love โWATCHING the current anxiety among Ugandan establishment MPs over the sudden, quiet state pressure, asset freezes, and property raids surrounding former Speaker Anita Among. It is a good case study in behavioral psychology. For years, the legislative majority watched in comfortable silence as the state deployed arbitrary actions, infinite investigations, and tactical isolation against opposition figures like Kizza Besigye, Eddy Mutwe, and Waiswa Mufumbiro. The unstated calculation was simple: compliance buys permanent immunity.
๐ โก๏ธ โToday, that illusion has collapsed. When an MP stands on the floor of the House begging the executive to "say something" about an insiderโs legal fate, it isn't an act of BRAVERY. It is an admission of systemic terror. They are realizing, far too late, that when you dismantle constitutional protections to neutralize your adversaries, you strip the insurance policy from your own seat.
๐ โก๏ธ As a matter of fact, โpatronage systems do not have a memory; they only have an immediate appetite. When the exterior perimeter of dissent is cleared, the machinery naturally turns inward to discipline its own ranks. True security was never about being an insider; it was about maintaining a strict, uncompromised fidelity to the constitution across the board for all citizens.
๐ โ If the system can freeze out its third-highest official in absolute silence, every backbencher is merely waiting in a shrinking line.

โ1/๐ท๏ธ Away from the Lukwago kidnapping story making headlines, for those pursuing postgraduate studies in security and governance, I have a major suggestion. The systemic refusal by all Kampala police stations to register the Lord Mayor's case offers a profound case study in how formal institutions collapse under informal power dynamics.
โ2/ ๐ท๏ธ The systemic refusal by Kampala police stations to register the Lord Mayorโs case is a perfect example in structural containment within hybrid regimes. Political theory dictates that a statutory social contract only exists when formal institutions possess the autonomy to enforce the law impartially.
โ3/ ๐ท๏ธ In a captured state, civilian law enforcement is forced to abandon its constitutional mandate to protect citizens and instead functions as a regime shield. Game theory explains this behavior: individual police commanders face an asymmetric payoff where upholding the law guarantees professional ruin.
โ4/ ๐ท๏ธ When a District Police Commander risks immediate demotion or retaliatory military arrest for logging a file, self-preservation overrides statutory duty. Think of civilian police desks in this environment as a firewall designed to process everyday civil noise while completely blocking high-level political signals.
โ5/๐ท๏ธ The long-term implication is catastrophic: when the law cannot enforce itself against informal armed actors, the state reverts to raw physical coercion. This trend creates an unsustainable trajectory where the general public completely loses faith in formal legal channels, accelerating a slide into systemic lawlessness.
@norbertmao We are very grateful for the courage Mao has exhibited against all odds in the race for Speakership. The result doesn't reflect his incompetence for the position but rather the entrenchment of a system that doesn't recognize and appreciate values but patronage.
Mao remains valued
NEVER HAPPENED BAMBI.....I don't even think Kanyeihamba wrote it; ๐! But even then, whoever thinks i would go to State House with Kanyeihamba to plead..... doent know me! And whoever thinks that's how Gen. @KagutaMuseveni would tell off commanders doesn't know him either! M7 is more KNOWLEDGEABLE and COMPLEX than that!!
@sammiemoTv@norbertmao I believe that the verdict of 'mobocracy' won't deter Ladit Mao from the continuous fights against corruption. Today is the defining moment for the MPs of the 12th Parliament to prove whether they are patriots or expatriots.
@norbertmao I believe that the verdict of 'mobocracy' won't deter Ladit Mao from the continuous fights for righteousness and against corruption. Today is the defining moment for the MPs of the 12th Parliament to prove whether they are patriots or expatriots.
@norbertmao This has always been you @norbertmao . Very consistent, persistent and resilient. Above all, you are so daring to the point of telling the dreaded Joseph Kony on the face that, he should stop killing innocent civilians. Add more fire ๐ฅ
@nbstv@SimonKaggwaNjal@afromobileug But why do you people continue to invite Mwenda to this premium show? Mwenda is just a wiseacre who wants people to believe that he is very intelligent and important. In the real sense, He is just a masquerader who thinks that speaking very many words in one minute means a lot.
@MutereggaM@nickopiyo I believe you are now tasting the wrath of militia in the Central and that's the reason for the outcry for liberators from the North ๐ But wait... liberation will come at a later date when the militia's handiwork is felt.
@norbertmao Thanks for the great work. Let your works do the talking. Let the critics do their criticism but they will swallow their own words in silence. God bless.
The investigation of the National Water and Sewage Corporation (NWSC) should be extended to upcountry consumers because I have personally experienced an inflated bill of 256k for one month and yet we are a family of six whose average monthly water consumption is about 50k !
