When developed countries are discussing how to even develop more and improve lives of their people, how to innovate more; see the priorities of the leaders of a third world heavily indebted country! And tomorrow we will blame colonialism for our underdevelopment!
Lukwago denied bail as expected. @mkainerugaba had said "Lukwago will be in prison for 10 years." I had no doubt in my mind that the Magistrate was waiting for the ruling to append her signature. That is why she kept on postponing the ruling from Monday morning to 2pm to within next 24 hours. The whole plot is to deny Besigye lawyers who are forceful to enable Emmanuel Baguma convict @kizzabesigye1 as quickly as Muhoozi wishes. @EriasLukwago in jail and @MarthaKarua deported.
I hope the country remembers that @KagutaMuseveni wanted the Constitution amended to stop court from granting bail. This time, even the NRM MPs refused. He vowed to find other ways. Through cadre judges and magistrates, Museveni has found the other ways. Guys our country has gone; finished!
The irony of life. A son calls for protests, his father meets envoys from the same country, while his uncle pushes for peace talks. Same government. Same family. Different interests. Different aspirations.
Any reflective person with considerable power will tell you that one of the most dangerous positions you can put yourself in as a leader is to surround yourself with opportunists, small-brained praise singers and people who fear you. They will literally clap for you as you jump off a cliff. They will fight off any well intentioned critic and reserve you to their cultish company, where you will be effectively surrounded by choruses of opportunistic adoration and echoes of nice sounding idiocy. It’s worse when you also can’t discern much on your own. One of the reasons Mr Museveni succeeded in his earlier struggles, is the kind of people he surrounded himself with. Check their intellectual profiles and compare.
Ssemujju to Muhoozi: I’m not afraid of you; you’re not immortal
"So yes, I can feel pain. I can experience fear like any normal human being. But I will not lose sleep over Muhoozi. Let him come and arrest me. No problem.
Because after arresting me, will he become immortal?
Will he become an angel whom nobody can ever arrest?
Will he never fall sick?
Will even malaria become afraid to attack him?
Let Ugandans stop being excessively afraid of Muhoozi. Muhoozi has a duty to serve the interests of Ugandans, not his personal interests. Taxpayers pay him, and those taxpayers have every right to hold him accountable. So whatever he says, I care less."

@DailyMonitor This man is capable of buying over 16 Ugandas. Can we sell us to him? He can surely do better than these selfish, primitive and shallow-sighted leaders that we have.

It’s truly unfortunate we have lost Irene Nakibuka, and even more tragic are the allegations that the state entrusted to protect her betrayed her instead. This is not politics; it is primitivity of the highest order; it feels like 1900; it is typical of rebels not modern states. It’s a shame!
My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. But let this also be a moment of honest reflection; Is this the Uganda we want? Can every life be fully protected by the law?
She’s dead! For them it’s just politics, for another family it is a loved one gone - just because she held a different political opinion! How do you expect others to feel your pain when you are directly killing their own! Can we ever have peace where we’ve inflicted such pointless permanent pain on others? Would you pretend to be angry when such innocent people you’ve harmed and hurt celebrate your own pain?
