The Monarch and Chief Protector of the 'Sovereignty of Uganda' has just simplified the Economics of Price Mechanism for those who never had the chance to attend introductory classes of Economics or read George Stanlake's Introductory Economics in High School.
He is saying that an increase in the price of a commodity reduces the quantity demanded of that commodity. This is the law of demand.
That should not be debatable, but the problem with his delivery is in NUANCE!
He came across as insensitive, out of touch and arrogant. The same message has been and will be delivered by many talking heads in the plain text of the law of demand and nobody will complain.
If you cannot afford bread, try cake. What do we celebrate on April 1?
Speaker Anita Among: โThey say I came from the FDC; I am now in the ruling party and firmly grounded in it. I am like a jigger.I came from humble beginnings, like grass, and I am going nowhere. If they tell us to shift to PLU, I will run faster than anybody.โ
while the article powerfully exposes real gaps in Ugandaโs health system, we must be careful not to treat conclusions as facts before a full clinical audit. Still, the bigger question stands: how many more warnings does the system need before accountability follows?
I love the article;
โmy biggest take โWhat our nation needs today isnโt leaders who speak appeasing words in remembrance of Janani Luwum, but those who emulate and embody his courage and boldness.โ

We are witnessing the NRM/Aโs last line of defense โ Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi.
I recently visited incarcerated legislator, Muwanga Kivumbi at Kitalya Prison. As you can imagine, we had an un-moderated mini political talk-show. He was in good spirits โ gave me this brilliant analysis.
As member of the Uganda Young Democrats in the 1990s, he noted (Iโm paraphrasing): โIn 1995, when we went to campaign, the PEASANTS would chase us from their villages, singing the goodness of NRA/Yoweri Museveni.
"In the 2000-2016 interval, the peasants were thoroughly disappointed. We started battling with CADRES and the NRM elite (David Mafabi, Mwenda, Man of Ideology, Tony Owana).
"2016- onwards, it is the Deep State (SFC, JATT, CMI). They have to directly defend the NRM/A. While they are so lethal, and violent, they are the last line of defence, and there is nothing after them.
20 Trillion dollars wasted. 4 million people kiIIed. 40 million people displaced. All on lies. Now those same liars are telling you we must obey lsraeI, fight Iran, loot Venezuela, and destroy Palestine. Donโt buy it.
