Hopefully the security services can move on from this nonsense! Journalism isn’t the enemy. How can your mission be to attack a journalist going about their work?
You are mixing up things Ian. Freedom of speech is an inherent none derogable fundamental freedom. Running a media house is a business that requires regulatory compliance. These two are different.
It makes no sense to ban NTV from covering Parliament.
Creating an environment where journalism thrives works in everyone’s favour.
Parliament must do the right thing..

PRACTICING LAW UNDER MILITARY RULE
On 5 February—at the opening of the New Law Year—the pariah’s @JudiciaryUG blocked us from raising this alarm: “In Uganda today, military forces & tactics increasingly intrude into civilian justice processes & the independent practice of law.”
The time I was transfered to Yumbe, from Kampala, which I thought was done in good faith, I watchd @EriasLukwago_ on TV scarstically saying stuf against me, celebrating! He took a breath when I was transfered. H/w, I dont wish him bad. I know @mkainerugaba will release him
We have reached a point that submission of disputes to court and lawyering themselves are a crime. The times that @IsaacSsemakadde predicted are manifest.
Ladit this is long overdue.
In Kenya the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA)- a state owned corporation established under S.53 of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA) identifies, traces, freezes, & recovers proceeds of crime.
@IGGUganda If political leaders and public officials don’t declare their wealth, their wealth will declare them. It is time to establish a Stolen Assets Recovery Tribunal (START) where cases of powerful people who have stolen what belongs to the public may be reported. The Tribunal would then hold hearings and make a ruling for recovery and other sanctions. When I was in Kyankwanzi I was told that the total land was once 28 Square miles (about 18,000 acres). I’m told many square miles have since been grabbed. Such cases abound.
The political question doctrine wrongly assumes ‘political questions’ and ‘legal questions’ can be separated so clearly that the distinction can form the basis of practical solutions in litigation before the courts. See excerpt below from my Administrative Law book.
On behalf of the Ministry of Health, I convey deep sorrow following the passing of Dr. Job Obwaka at the age of 83, a veteran obstetrician and former Director at the Nairobi Hospital.
Dr. Obwaka devoted his life to advancing medical practice in Kenya, leaving an invaluable contribution to the medical fraternity through his clinical excellence, leadership and mentorship of generations of practitioners.
His work significantly strengthened standards of care and improved outcomes in maternal and reproductive health services across the country.
We honour his distinguished service and commitment to humanity and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and the wider medical community during this difficult time.
@LeviMunyeri Okello trial can't be the litmas test. It progressed with glitches to his rights as an accused. It's abnormal eslwhere though normal here to be on remand even for 6 years upward.
Lessons for the Kenyan Judiciary and Advocates: Christopher Okello was accused of stabbing four children to death on 2nd April 2026 in Ggaba, Kampala. His murder trial began on 13th April 2026 in a mobile court near the crime scene. On 31st April 2026, the trial was concluded and he was sentenced to death. 18 days of an elaborate, fair trial. In Kenya, murder trials take an average of 6 years. These inordinate delays should stop.
