Former spy master Maj Gen Birungi remanded over ‘cooking up’ terror intelligence
Birungi, the former director of the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), is accused alongside 3 others of the fatal shooting of a woman travelling on a motorcycle near Kalerwe Market and a man near the Catholic Shrine in Munyonyo during the Uganda Martyrs Day celebrations, claiming they were suspected suicide bombers so they could obtain state funds.
Notably, Birungi is among the individuals listed as state witnesses in the treason case against Dr Kizza Besigye, Hajji Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya and Capt Denis Oola, who are accused of plotting to overthrow the government.

People will constantly attack you in life.
One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential.
They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.
"When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will exercise his mind with suffering, so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is incompetent."

Senator Celeste Amarilla, pearls on, blazer sharp, racism on full blast. Ma’am you went from “distinguished public servant” to “global meme for playground slurs about coconuts and chimpanzees” in one tweet. Mbappé cooked you, France is suing you, and the world just watched Paraguay’s honor get body-slammed by its own senator. Next time maybe represent your country instead of embarrassing it.
@MutabaziJackie@petermuzoora@NinyeTabz How can he when someone is dying? It's a consolation. We better rise and cause a state of disarray so that we start rebuilding afresh if that's what is required.
Before Anita Among assumed office, Daniel Adilo was working at @UgandaEC where his father had worked and retired from. Among spotted the hardworking young man and demanded for him to be transferred to Parliament. EC said that was not possible. Among insisted and when this failed, Adilo was advised to resign at EC so that he’s recruited (irregularly) at parliament. At EC he was an officer (entry level) but at Parliament he had reached Director level (highest level at Parliament) in 3 years. He was made director for HR which still had another Director so the department had two serving directors-unprecedented but it had become common at parliament in the last 5 years. There were several Directors that were put on katebe (because she couldn’t fire them) to pave way for her favorite people.
My son, the greatest trap of youth is acting like the sun will never set.
Life is a single day divided into three meals.
When a young man makes his first money, he spends it all on a massive feast for breakfast, forgetting that the day has just begun.
By the time the lunch of middle age arrives, he is starving. By the dinner of his old age, he is forced to beg from his own children.
If you insist on eating like a king at breakfast, you will sleep like a beggar at dinner.
Be blessed.
@DaudiKabanda@mkainerugaba Kindly note, it's not afande with his money, it's the government of UG. I really like Muhoozi to the core and mzee wetu but u guys make it so hard for other people to feel you. Don't be a professional partisan. Sigazaamu agasala oluguudo! Don't make CDF look like a laughing stock
@nuwahikire@mdanfreedom49@DaudiKabanda@mkainerugaba It's not the same. The tax payer money is the one that can be left out. If you love your country ,you can't leave it out of communication. Also shows how responsible the government and it's leaders are.
modern education: force-feed students facts under pressure, then wonder why nothing sticks.
Plato already warned us: knowledge acquired by compulsion takes no hold on the mind!
When you look at countries in the interlacustrine region that have had leaders from the nomadic pastoral cultures, you notice they aren’t big on building for permanence. Their minds seem not to fathom this. Everything is fluid and flight.
@femiiiszn There’s truth in that—shame tends to amplify suffering rather than solve anything. When you strip it away, you can actually look at situations clearly and respond instead of hiding or self-attacking. Freedom does come more from acceptance and honesty than from punishment.
The United States is 3 human lifetimes old.
That’s it. In those short years we invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the transistor and the internet. We turned a few wooded colonies into the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
The first person to show urgency usually pays the higher price. In business, dating, conflict, and negotiation, visible hunger gives the other side room to slow down, test you, and raise the cost. Control your pace. Desire is not weakness until you let it become visible.
