"We praise heroes everyday but there are those that we forget to praise: the women of this world.”- Lucky Dube. On this heroes day, my mind goes to these and and all women who are going through untold pain, fighting for a better Uganda. You’re my heroines. #GodBlessTheWoman
The only remedy for our freedom is to unite and flip the table by any means necessary. Until then, we a bound to die as slaves in our beloved country.

Dear @KagutaMuseveni
If supporting President @HEBobiwine is now considered a crime, then amend your worn-out Constitution and state it explicitly. Otherwise, stop abducting and incarcerating innocent Ugandans for their political beliefs
#FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
We owe an apology to those who said that people with such hair style are useless
Tabs is better than thieves who clad in suits like Mpuuga,kabanda,kasolo and magogo combined.
Bobi Wine has achieved one thing that is worth a million achievements .He awakened our minds ;a force more powerful and dangerous to oppressors than AIDS and Ebola combined.
Uganda’s Silence of Power: How the State Looked Away as Opulence Replaced Accountability
For years, the Government of Uganda projected the image of order, procedure, and constitutionalism. Yet beneath that carefully managed façade, critics argue that a dangerous complacency took root; one that allowed the outgoing Speaker of Parliament, Anita Annet Among, to operate with extraordinary latitude while public institutions looked the other way.
At the heart of the controversy is not merely personal extravagance, but what many Ugandans perceive as a collapse of restraint. As allegations mounted over the misuse of taxpayers’ money, the Speaker’s increasingly opulent lifestyle became a public symbol of impunity. Lavish homes, luxury vehicles, and extravagant spending sat uncomfortably alongside growing public hardship, yet there was no decisive intervention from the state. This silence amounted to dereliction of duty by the Government of Uganda; a government that appeared to have slept on the job.
More troubling was how power allegedly extended beyond Parliament. Using the authority of her office and access to vast resources, the Speaker is accused of bending other institutions to her will. The Judiciary of Uganda, constitutionally independent, was repeatedly accused in public discourse of timidity when matters touching the Speaker or her friends arose. The same institution was used to persecute the Speaker’s critics including TikTok users. Whether through delays, procedural evasions, or selective urgency, justice appeared hesitant where firmness was required.
The Electoral Commission of Uganda was likewise drawn into controversy during parliamentary nominations in Bukedea. Allegations circulated that electoral processes involving powerful figures were insulated from scrutiny, reinforcing a perception that political weight, not law, determined outcomes. Even the Uganda Police Force, whose mandate is to enforce the law without fear or favour, was widely seen as reluctant to act where speakers interests were involved.
None of this occurred in a vacuum. It thrived in an environment where executive oversight was weak, internal party discipline was absent, and accountability mechanisms were selectively applied. The result was a dangerous precedent: that proximity to power could override the safeguards of the state, and that public wealth could be treated as private privilege without consequence.
This episode has left Uganda with hard questions. How did one office accumulate such unchecked influence? Why did institutions designed to restrain excess instead appear compromised or intimidated? And most importantly, what reforms are needed to ensure that no future leader, however powerful, can operate above the law?
As the country transitions to a new parliamentary era, many citizens argue that this moment must be reckoned with honestly. Without accountability, silence becomes complicity, and governance turns into performance rather than service. Uganda’s challenge now is to prove that the era of impunity is not permanent, and that the state can, when it chooses to, wake up and do its job.
My favorite gunner Eddie Mutwe is in prison for no reason, but either way, I send my congratulations to him and to all the Arsenal fans all over the world. The harder the fight, the sweeter the victory.
Many said he had miscalculated by ordering Mpuuga to return the 500m & apologise to the nation. Many criticised him for not covering up for his own. At such a great personal/political risk, H.E. Bobi Wine took a clear stand against the corruption in Parliament!
Kudos @HEBobiwine
We have concluded the vote for the chairperson for Buganda parliamentary caucus for the twelfth parliament. The position has been taken by the Buvuma Islands MP Robert Ndugwa Migadde. We implored him to carry on with the legacy of our jailed Deputy President Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi who has served in this position effectively and advocated for Buganda’s interests. It is our prayer that his successor walks in his footprints
We are looking at the wrong crisis. The problem isn’t that a Deputy Speaker forgot his constitutional law degree. The problem is that the degree is completely useless in a state governed by raw power.
When a military general appoints a legislative leader with a single social media post, the illusion of democratic separation of powers disappears.
This public exchange was not an innocent congratulations. It was a public demonstration of dominance. By accepting the endorsement with gratitude rather than pointing to the constitutional electoral process, the legislature officially surrendered its independence.
We cannot fight corruption using a system designed around patronage. When the highest legal minds in the land value a general's tweet over the supreme law of the country, the institutions are broken. They are working exactly as intended for the people who hold the guns.
Congratulations, Owekitiibwa Bernard Tayebwa, on being overwhelmingly voted into the office of the deputy speaker of the 12th Parliament via a single proxy X post.
