Mr. Museveni went on all TVs and Radios to praise his patriotic forces and condemn unpatriotic opposition. What's so patriotic about this kidnap surely?

@sussiekats Great news! Keep it up @MoWT_Uganda

Live: @PS_MAAIF says Uganda’s sweet bananas and other fruits are of excellent quality. But when they reach markets in the Middle East, they can only stay on supermarket shelves for about two days before they begin to rot.

Never accept a PhD offer without funding.

Start from this list of 25+ fully funded PhD programs

If you’re applying to doctoral programs in public health or related fields, funding should never be optional; it’s essential.

These are mostly U.S.-based, public health-focused programs.

Priority deadlines for most: December 1

⚠️ This list isn’t exhaustive, but it covers the top programs to consider.

🎓 Apply smart. Apply funded.

I sought to ask @NativeLandgrab about his illuminating piece, "Parliament is the Bribe", but the conversation took us back to the basics: class consciousness, earlier revolutionaries, neoliberalism, politics of envy, a critical mass … A wholesome sit-down.

[Yusuf Serunkuma🌹 @YusufSerunkuma]

I cannot imagine how many small businesses will be closed in this effort – as Ush9-10 trillion is stolen annually.

I will say one more time, dear Finance (@mofpedU), URA (@URAuganda), there is no country in the world that transformed just thru tax collection. Either go abroad and steal or exploit own resources for profit.

Colleagues,

Some doctors build careers. Others go further and build services, brands and institutions that change how healthcare is delivered.

The Uganda Medical Association is pleased to welcome Dr. Malik Ssempereza, MBChB (MUK), PgDip Derm (UK), MSc Clinical Derm (UK), MBA Stanford (USA), as its newest Life Member, U.M.A Life Member No. 00120.

Dr. Ssempereza is a dedicated Ugandan medical doctor with a long-standing special interest in skin, hair and aesthetic care.

Through @UnitySkinClinic , which he founded and leads, he has helped expand access to a range of services for patients with skin and hair concerns, while also remaining active in public education on conditions that are often misunderstood or surrounded by stigma.

Through his leadership of Unity Skin Clinic, establishment of Clabane Skin Care and his wider leadership within Citadel Medical Group, Dr. Ssempereza has shown that a doctor does not have to remain only a clinician or an employee. A doctor can also be an entrepreneur, an institution builder and a leader shaping the future of healthcare!

His decision to take up life membership represents a lasting commitment to the Association and to the collective advancement of Uganda's medical profession.

Dr. Ssempereza, welcome to U.M.A Life Members' family!

Service with honour.

MUSEVENI'S BESIGYE VERDICT BEFORE TRIAL

On the evening of 4th July 2026, President Yoweri Museveni addressed the nation. His address’s centre of gravity was the treason trial of Dr. Kizza Besigye and his co-accused, presently pending before the High Court in Criminal Session No. 0335 of 2025.

In the course of that address, the President pronounced upon the guilt of the accused, upon their entitlement to bail, and upon the burden of proof — all before a single witness has been tested. The trial has not begun. The verdict has been broadcast.

What the President Said:

1. Men on remand, he described as "the arrested opposition law-breakers."

2. They "may not get bail because they threaten the security of the witnesses."

3. Dr. Besigye, claimed Museveni, "has been refusing trial, misusing the legal system, where he has got opportunity to prove his innocence."

4. He characterised recent security operations as "long overdue actions to fill those gaps" — gaps he identified as persisting within, among other institutions, the Judiciary.

5. The defence function was disparaged by President Museveni as "the tragic-comic practice of the defence dedicating itself to obscuring the facts," conducted by "actors in wigs."

6. Museveni approvingly narrated wartime executions following, and in substitution for, judicial process as "balanced justice."

Why this matters:

The President abolishes the presumption of innocence. To call men on remand "law-breakers" is to declare their guilt. Article 28(3)(a) of the 1995 Constitution guarantees the presumption of innocence until proved guilty or upon a plea of guilty. International standards are equally plain: public authorities must refrain from statements affirming guilt before conviction.

Bail is a judicial question, not an executive one. Article 23(6) reserves bail to judicial discretion. Whether an accused is likely to interfere with witnesses is evidentially determined by a judge. It is not a conclusion to be broadcast from the Executive. The presidential address advances a normative claim that bail ought not to exist in such cases. That is an argument for amending Article 23(6); it is not an interpretation of it.

He attacks and inverts the burden of proof. To say the accused "has got opportunity to prove his innocence" does not merely offend Article 28(3)(a). It inverts the foundational premise of the criminal law. By Article 44(c), the right to a fair hearing is non-derogable: neither national security, nor witness protection, nor an appeal to "indigenous justice" is a lawful qualification of it.

A parallel enforcement authority is announced. The head of the Executive states that the security forces are supplying a deficiency in the courts. That is more than criticism of the Judiciary. It is the announcement of an authority operating in substitution for it. There is no version of the rule of law that survives such a proposition.

The right to a defence is constitutionally guaranteed. The privilege against self-incrimination arises under Article 28(11); the right to counsel of one's choice under Article 28(3)(d)–(e). These are not procedural indulgences. They are guarantees which the President swore under Article 98(2) to uphold, and which Article 2 renders supreme over any competing conception of justice — indigenous or otherwise.

In litigation, the State's habitual defence to allegations of abuse is that any wrongdoing was the act of individual officers, unauthorised and unrepresentative. The address of 4th July 2026 forecloses that defence. What was previously denied as isolated excess has now been avowed as policy, from the highest office in the Republic.

Governments prevail over individual lawyers often enough, and Uganda's recent history furnishes examples. But no ruler in modern history has won a war against the legal profession as such.

Not in the long run. Time.

@sussiekats @MoWT_Uganda @HonByamukama Well done 🤝🏿

[Ms. SUSAN KATAIKE @sussiekats]

@HonByamukama the Minister of @MoWT_Uganda held a meeting with the division that handles land acquisition matters.

He directed as follows;
🚨 Land titles delay ends now.

✅ All processed land titles returned to rightful owners by 30th November starting with Buganda and Bunyoro

✅ No civil works contract signed unless 50%+ of project land is secured

✅ Faster, more professional response to Project Affected Persons (PAPs)

They raised constraints such as — limited transport, tight funding — slowing field activities.

The Minister's response: maximize what you have, and Ministry leadership will keep engaging stakeholders to clear the bottlenecks.

Bottom line: land acquisition delays cost the country time and money on every road, bridge, and infrastructure project.
Getting this right means projects move faster and Ugandans get what they were promised — on time.

Professionalism. Transparency. Integrity. That's the standard.
