@adam_kungu @mkainerugaba @NamaraDennisMP Bigger question should be, do we still need occupants of this house?

English

Both Speakers are Gen. @mkainerugaba's envoys in Parliament, at least according to him.
Gen. Muhoozi wants Joel Ssenyonyi removed as Leader of the Opposition.
More than 200 MPs in the 12th Parliament identify with PLU and its aspirations.
One of them, @NamaraDennisMP, has already written to Gen. Muhoozi’s envoy - the Speaker, seeking leave to introduce amendments to the Administration of Parliament Act.
The proposed changes would allow MPs to vote for the LoP and give Parliament powers to impeach the office holder.

If you’re cheating on your girlfriend, I hope you get the other girl pregnant and not only does she decide to keep it, but she tells your gf and your entire family that she’s pregnant with your kid so your gf leaves you. 😌
Then you decide to be a good father and be with the other woman but after 5 years, she leaves you for another man and puts you on child support
You rarely ever see your kid because she is married to another man and your kid starts calling that other man “dad”. You try marriage with another woman but it fails because she fails to give you children.
Then 13 more years go by , you reach out to your kid to try to rekindle your relationship now that he is an adult , but you find out the kid was never even yours and is actually your brother’s.
So you fall into extreme alcoholism and end up getting evicted from your house for failure to pay rent so you’re homeless.
And while you’re walking down a dark alley , you get shot and killed and the detective who’s assigned to your case is your ex gf who you initially cheated on🤭

@vianaindi1 The good thing, she included her father, brothers, ex and every man in her life😅

That’s a pretty broad statement. I think intelligence depends on the individual, not their gender.
I get that you’ve probably had bad experiences, but you shouldn’t judge an entire group of people that way.

The Four Pillars of Political Legitimacy.
=======
Let me give you a framework for assessing political legitimacy, and more seriously, for knowing whether your country is likely to develop under its present leadership or not.
I should state this clearly. I am not fascinated by political power for its own sake. My real interest is productive power: mines, factories, laboratories, machines, standards, technologies, brands, jobs, and the rise of serious captains of industry on this continent.
But in Africa, even those of us who would rather build than campaign eventually learn a hard lesson: industrial power cannot grow freely where political power is ignorant, predatory, careless, or deliberately destructive. Weak institutions are not always an accident. Sometimes, they are the operating system of those who benefit from keeping society disorganised, dependent, frightened, and backward.
That is why politics matters. Not because everyone must become a politician, but because politics determines whether builders are enabled or suffocated. It determines whether academics can think freely, whether industrialists can build honestly, whether young people can create boldly, and whether knowledge is allowed to serve society instead of power.
When an academic is attacked by the forces of wealth and politics, education itself is on trial. Education is supposed to free the human mind. It is supposed to help people think, question, create, and build better societies. But when education is forced to bow before money and power, it stops doing this. It stops humanising people. It starts producing obedient professionals who can serve systems they are no longer allowed to question.
This is why, when many politicians and industrialists speak about education, they only talk about skills. They want schools and universities to produce workers, not thinkers; servants, not competitors; employees, not creators. But that is not the true purpose of knowledge. Knowledge is not meant to create slaves with certificates. It is meant to free creativity. It is meant to give people the courage and ability to imagine, build, and improve the world.
A society that fears independent academics does not fear noise. It fears thought.
The level of scientific and logical illiteracy among some people who hold power over law, policy and public institutions in African societies should scare us. I do not mean illiteracy in the narrow sense of failing to read and write. I mean the deeper illiteracy of people who cannot reason from evidence, cannot connect cause and effect, cannot understand systems, and cannot distinguish between slogans and solutions.
These are the people who legislate on education without understanding how knowledge is produced. They regulate industry without understanding production. They debate energy without understanding energy systems. They speak about innovation while strangling the conditions that create innovation. They confuse visibility with impact, applause with consent, and control with leadership. And in all this fog, legitimacy suffers.
So, let us talk about legitimacy.
A leader is not legitimate simply because he occupies office, commands soldiers, appears on billboards, or receives loud applause from people who know the cameras are watching. Political legitimacy rests on four pillars.
The first is constitutional legitimacy. This answers the question: Did this leader come to power through recognised rules? Elections, constitutions, courts, succession procedures and lawful appointments matter because power must have a lawful doorway. A leader who enters through the window should not lecture the country about order.
The second is functional or performance legitimacy. This answers the question: Is the leadership useful? A government must deliver security, roads, hospitals, schools, jobs, electricity, water, stability and economic direction. A state is not a museum of flags, anthems and portraits. It must work.
The third is moral legitimacy. This answers the question: Is power being exercised with justice, restraint and decency? A leader may be legal and even effective, but if power is exercised with cruelty, arrogance, corruption and contempt for human dignity, something essential is broken. A government cannot brutalise the soul of a nation and still claim to be its guardian.
The fourth is social or consent legitimacy. This answers the question: Do the people still recognise this leadership as theirs? This is deeper than organised rallies, choreographed praise, or election-day arithmetic. It is about whether citizens feel heard, respected, included and emotionally invested in the political order.
The tragedy of many countries is that leaders often have one pillar and pretend they have all four. Some have constitutional claims but no performance. Some deliver infrastructure but lose moral authority. Some command crowds but have no lawful foundation. Others hide behind old heroic stories long after the country has moved on.
And when these pillars weaken, rulers usually reach for fear.
But fear is not legitimacy. Fear is the counterfeit currency of political authority. It can buy silence, obedience, praise songs and forced smiles, but it cannot buy trust. It can fill a stadium, but it cannot build a nation. It can make people kneel, but it cannot make them believe.
Africa does not need more political conmen hiding behind flags, uniforms, slogans and microphones. Africa needs serious builders of state capacity and serious builders of productive capacity. We need institutions that allow engineers, scientists, miners, manufacturers, farmers, teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs, academics and industrialists to do their work without being suffocated by ignorance masquerading as authority.
A truly legitimate leader does not need to frighten the people in order to be followed. And a serious country does not use politics to block its builders, silence its academics, or domesticate its universities. It uses politics to organise knowledge, industry and creativity into national power.

@GabrielBuule ...Sserwadda talks about 'cattle' but Kayanja talks about 'heads of caro' 🤷♂️

@kuliemasnegara @_falsi1ke You're right, some people genuinely care without monetary expectations
English

@_falsi1ke Financial independence is important, but reducing all human relationships to transactions misses a big part of what makes life meaningful.
Some people care because they can benefit from you.
Others care simply because they're human.

@MarthaKayug Let's give her just 10 years, she will come back to her senses

I dont agree with the notion that men are stupid.
Some men are disappointing. Some women are disappointing. But I don’t think a few bad experiences should become our opinion of an entire gender!
I think we can be careful without being cynical.
Understanding the opposite sex takes growth and self awareness… Writing them all off is the easy part.🙃

@kyamageroandrew @AKasingye You're a blessing to society especially to the men. Keep up the good work Sir!
English

My elder and chairman @AKasingye , I receive your generous words with deep gratitude and even deeper humility.
If indeed any home has been preserved, any father awakened to his duty, any son redirected towards purpose, or any family dispute resolved through these conversations, then the glory belongs not to the messenger but to the message.
I remain a student in the school of life, committed to serving where I can, while I can.
Thank you for your kindness. Let us continue the work, for a family remains the foundation upon which our nations stand.
Asante sana.

This man, has carried the Men’s agenda flag so high for the last 4 years. Started Muntu Wa Wansi educational & sensitization programs on social media, that have shaped men into real men. He has also empowered them about their rights & responsibilities. Does he even know the families he has protected & family feuds prevented as a result? He’s so humble & doesn’t even brag about it as long as he’s served above self. I hope this post will trigger a national award soon. I celebrate you @kyamageroandrew

@MissAwori @FERDINANDIUS Which research method are you using to get this kind of conclusion?

@FERDINANDIUS deprived and thirsty in a desert is what they are. non-stupid men are like an oasis in the desert.

@FERDINANDIUS She's including her father, brothers, ex and current boyfriend. A person who chooses to be around such "stupid" is highly intelligent i guess 😅

@dbonj19992 @georgenjoroge_ Exactly. And that shows poor leadership in the family.
A man sets boundaries and rules to be followed and punishes the culprits not shouting and slapping his kids while someone else is recording

@georgenjoroge_ He is doing zero work, with the woman shouting "Stop beating him" negates everything.
Young man will grow with the notion that Dad is just unreasonable while Mum is right.
