Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture, which will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

The head of the judiciary, who was sworn in on President @KagutaMuseveni’s private farm in the presence of the President’s family, is conspicuously silent as the President openly violates the Constitution, usurps the authority of the courts, and justifies abductions, torture, prolonged detention without trial, and other grave abuses led by his son.

Silence in the face of such constitutional violations is not neutrality. It is a betrayal of the judiciary’s duty to uphold the rule of law. Chief Justice, you too will account.

@DaudiKabanda I applaud @DaudiKabanda he delivers exactly what he is asked to do. He does not own any of the foolish statements he delivers.

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@0ivankaTrump1 Yes

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@DaudiKabanda This topic is timely and highly relevant now that both the Speaker and his deputy have been officially designated as his envoys.
The rest of the MPs are reduced to being his supporters, and the judiciary has no power over him.
Positions in his party are likely to be appointed

@NinyeTabz @NinyeTabz, we don't accuse Muganda, Adonia and others of being non-Ugandans. Together with their heartless, myopic regime, they continuously make it illegal for their fellow Ugandans abroad to participate in the country's social, political and economic activities.

@Gosleepriya Uganda

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@NinyeTabz No. We only need to wait to watch Mr Nyanzi's testimony in court. Chairman Nyanzi will be found innocent and free of the accusations based on the testimony.

We interrupt our regular programming.

Uganda stands at a crossroads.
The Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026 promises to shield the State from foreign influence. But at what cost to constitutional freedom, economic flow, and civic life?

This Tuesday, 21 April 2026 at 7PM EAT, we host a special edition of JSC Conversations.

We begin the first of two major debates.
Two clear positions. One difficult question.

Is this law a necessary defence of the Republic, or does it go further than the Constitution allows?

Joining us:

Kenneth Muhangi - Partner at KTA Advocates, heading TMT & IP. A leading voice in tech law and intellectual property, he has raised critical concerns about the Bill’s impact on investment, remittances, and everyday business.

Enoch Barata - Senior Partner at Birungyi, Barata & Associates, expert in banking, commercial and corporate law. He argues the Bill is essential to protect Uganda’s national interests in a changing global order.

Two voices. One room. No holds barred. That is Tuesday.

And the conversation continues Wednesday at 7PM EAT with the second debate.

Join us as we draw the line between sovereignty, freedom, and power.
7PM EAT. #JSCConversations

@DoreenNyanjura I enjoy the way you articulate; it is genuinely entertaining. I hope the said trends are not influencing you!

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@ZelenskyyUa Very sad! Unfortunately, the focus seems to have shifted to Iran; Ukraine needs more attention.

@CKMugerwa @Winnie_Byanyima @kizzabesigye1 I do not see any part of the content that requires concealment. Perhaps the Archbishop provided the public with what was necessary for public consumption. This does not tantamount to involving him in politics.

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@Matteo87Vic @ZelenskyyUa You ain't right. Ukraine has every right to demand protection. They deserve more support to be able to deter the "invasion of Europe".
Btw, Mr Zelensky has always appreciated the support and solidarity. It is also his role to call for more help, given the unpredictability of war.

[SP Ssebaggala @sendson04]

@Its_ereko @visegrad24 Please be reminded that it's Russia who started the war on Ukraine. The West is united against the aggressor.

[Human Rights Defenders @NUPUSAInc]

UGANDA |🇺🇬🇪🇺The European Parliament has called Uganda’s election what it was: a military operation to crush the only credible opposition. Security forces were used not to protect voters, but to intimidate, kill, detain, torture, and silence political opponents.

Statements are no longer enough. The EU, its Member States, and allied democracies must move to consequences — identifying and acting against those responsible, from commanders to political enablers.

Targeted sanctions, visa bans, asset freezes, suspension of security cooperation, and a review of aid that sustains repression must follow.

By this point, the U.S, the UK, and the EU must understand that repeated failure to act is steering the region toward deeper instability, normalized violence, and the erosion of democratic and regional security norms — with consequences far beyond Uganda.

While the criminal regime continues to haunt my family and hunt me down, I took off time to read this very insightful book. Above all, it exposes Museveni for who he is and the damage he has done to our country, despite having come with the promise to break away from the past.

As Prof. Mamdani notes in this book, “The Museveni era has corroded the morals of an entire generation, and there is unlikely to be an easy solution to the problem. A pervasive corruption and cynicism cloud the country like a fog. It will take no less than a generation for the country to come out of it."

A depressing account it is. We have work cut out for us. We refuse to give up or give in. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.

Our Deputy President for Buganda, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi Muhammad returns to court today morning to face off with the trumped up charges that the regime imposed on him!

65.1% is the support by Ugandans for the Elected President Kyagulanyi, based on the scientific survey I did with my company @afroopinion. Likely even more, but people are afraid to talk. In this picture we were in Brussels talking to @EUparliament.

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman @SenateForeign]

Commander @mkainerugaba has crossed a red line and now the U.S. must reevaluate its security partnership, which includes sanctions, and military cooperation with Uganda. The president's son, and likely successor, cannot just delete tweets and issue hollow apologies. The U.S. will not tolerate this level of instability and recklessness when American personnel, U.S. interests, and innocent lives in the region are at stake.
