In 2022, my BBC team and I were travelling across the continent to popularise my podcast, Africa Daily, when we met Samuel and Esteri Tebandeke. Ester was battling kidney failure and was being treated by the excellent team at Mulago Hospital. What a powerful story of love it turned out to be. Ester needed a kidney transplant, and Sam offered to donate his. I teared up during the interview because of Sam’s deep commitment to his wife. I saw their quiet determination to ensure that Esteri — an accomplished actor who had appeared in the acclaimed film Queen of Katwe — would pull through. He loved her. She loved and deeply appreciated him. They had raised half the money they needed and were struggling to find the rest — about $40,000. I promised I would mention their case to President Museveni, whom I was due to meet a few days later. When I met Mzee, I told him about them. Without hesitation, he instructed his then PPS, Kenneth Omona, to ensure Esther received the money she needed. The cash was delivered. They travelled to India for the operation, and at first it seemed everything had gone well. I stayed in touch with them, regularly checking on Esteri’s progress. Yesterday, Sam sent me a voice note to say that his Esteri had passed away. I am gutted. Esteri was young, beautiful, and immensely talented. I wish she had lived much longer. May she now rest peacefully after such a difficult few years. I pray for Sam — one of the greatest men I have ever met. May God grant him, and Ester’s family and friends, the fortitude they need to navigate these painful times.

I actually said Ugandan pineapple is THE BEST in the world!😃

This was honourable of Mr Nalukoola and silly of the guy who lowered his window and threw the plastic bag down. I liked how he swallowed his pride by lowering his window again to receive his trash delivered to him by a civilised and concerned citizen. Please never hesitate to shame such fools.

We need more of such primary schools in Uganda. Practical, survival skills taught from a young age.

A cure for pancreatic cancer showing success in animal models is a massive breakthrough. For one of the deadliest cancers, this is a huge step toward real hope for humans….

Growing old in Africa is hard. Its aging population is growing faster than its infrastructure. Seniors face neglect. Physical changes like bladder urgency and chronic illness make accessible toilets a necessity, yet their absence creates a major barrier to public participation.

When @JoelSsenyonyi was named Leader of Opposition in Parliament, many elites doubted his ability. Those of us who trusted him knew he was equal to the task, and he went on to deliver beyond expectations. GEORGE MUSISI WILL DELIVER EXCEPTIONALLY. We trust him.

“We were in Lagos for Christmas. Nkanu had what we first thought was just a cold, but soon turned into a very serious infection and he was admitted to Atlantis hospital. He was to travel to the US the next day, January 7th, accompanied by Travelling Doctors. A team at Johns Hopkins was waiting to receive him in Baltimore. The Hopkins team had asked for a lumbar puncture test and an MRI. The Nigerian team had also decided to put in a 'central line' (used to administer iv medications) in preparation for Nkanu's flight. Atlantis hospital referred us to Euracare Hospital, which was said to be the best place to have the procedures done. The morning of the 6th, we left Atlantis hospital for Euracare, Nkanu carried in his father's arms. We were told he would need to be sedated to prevent him from moving during the MRI and the 'central line' procedure. I was waiting just outside the theater. I saw people, including Dr M, rushing into the theater and immediately knew something had happened. A short time later, Dr M came out and told me Nkanu had been given too much propofol by the anesthesiologist, had become unresponsive and was quickly resuscitated. But suddenly Nkanu was on a ventilator, he was intubated and placed in the ICU. The next thing I heard was that he had seizures. Cardiac arrest. All these had never happened before. Some hours later, Nkanu was gone It turns out that Nkanu was NEVER monitored after being given too much propofol. The anesthesiologist had just casually carried Nkanu on his shoulder to the theater, so nobody knows when exactly Nkanu became unresponsive. How can you sedate a sick child and neglect to monitor him? Later, after the 'central line' procedure, the anesthesiologist casually switched off Nkanu's oxygen and again decided to carry him on his shoulder to the ICU! The anesthesiologist was CRIMINALLY negligent. He was fatally casual and careless with the precious life of a child. No proper protocol was followed. We brought in a child who was unwell but stable and scheduled to travel the next day. We came to conduct basic procedures. And suddenly, our beautiful little boy was gone forever. It is like living your worst nightmare. I will never survive the loss of my child. We have now heard about two previous cases of this same anesthesiologist overdosing children. Why did Euracare allow him to keep working? This must never happen to another child”. CNA

LEGALALERT. Kibanja sales and consent of mailo owner, effect of kibanja sale without registered proprietor's consent, continuity of kibanja, lawful occupant / kibanja holder.

I have taken time this morning to read a book on LEGAL WRITING by Alan M. and many things stand out ✅ I now understand why the letters drafted by my Lawyer Misare NJAGAH in response to the numerous DEMAND LETTERS that I always receive, many times DO NOT REFLECT MY ARROGANCE, regardless of express INSTRUCTIONS: 1. A good Lawyer MUST refrain from being emotional and combustive in drafting or responding to DEMAND letters. 2. It is not in the place of a Lawyer to take a brief personal and allow his/ her emotional reactions to reflect in his/ her draft. 3. Even when a client has lamented to a Lawyer and insisted on employing certain accusatory and offensive words, a good Lawyer owes it to his client to filter and apply appropriate LAWYERLY expressions in conveying his instructions. 4. A good Lawyer is NOT a client’s errand BOY, always remain professional regardless of pressure from ARROGANT CLIENTS like myself 5. A good Lawyer must not carry out instructions without tact, professionalism and care must be taken to be more deliberate, reasonable, and measured in all your DEMAND LETTERS. 6. A lawyer’s letter MUST reflect clarity, restraint, and strategy; NOT ego or EMOTIONS. 7. You’re an IDIOT of a Lawyer if your temper shows in your drafting, you have already ceded professionalism. LASTLY: Precision persuades; emotional outbursts only weaken the brief. CHOOSE YOUR LAWYERS WISELY: I have today noted without a doubt THAT I have a vere vere GOOD LAWYER 😭😭😭😭 -ENDS-
