Kitgum’s 40-year-old cattle dip tank revival offers hope to farmers #tndNews #tndNewsAt13 @MAAIF_Uganda @AkenaJimmyMP tndnewsuganda.com/2026/03/kitgum…

@JanSadek Without sounding boastful or ultra-nationalistic, I must agree that Ugandan pineapples are the best I've ever tasted. That said menvu and other fruits also are naturally tasty.

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

@cobbo3 "By the time President Milton Obote banned opposition political parties in December 1969..." Popular folklore is Obote "seized" nearly absolute power and changed the Constitution in 1966, wrote a new constitution in 1967, and finally bans parties by Statutory Inst. Dec 1969🤔

Sometimes in Africa the number of opposition defections to the ruling party (the side where the groceries are) can be so high, by the end of a term, the opposition benches in Parliament are empty. In Nigeria, three years in, in the 10th National Assembly, 22–24 Senators and 65–70 Representatives have defected from opposition parties—primarily the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP)—to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), granting the government a two-thirds majority. There’s a long history to this. Uganda at independence started out with the then prestigious opposition Democratic Party having 22 MPs (46.1% of Parliament). By the time President Milton Obote banned opposition political parties in December 1969, only three brave DP souls hadn’t defected to the ruling UPC: Alex Latim, Gaspare Oda, and Boniface Byanyima, often cited as the ultimate symbol of principled defiance in Ugandan politics. One of the most notable cases of mass defection occurred in Kenya’s early post-independence era. In a rare "voluntary" liquidation, the entire opposition KADU party, led by Ronald Ngala and Daniel arap Moi, dissolved itself and crossed the floor to join Jomo Kenyatta’s ruling KANU. This turned Kenya into a de facto one-party state overnight. In Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah’s CPP systematically absorbed opposition United Party MPs through patronage and pressure until the opposition benches were effectively empty. In more recent instances, electoral dominance led to a "zero-opposition" reality. In Ethiopia, the EPRDF, the now-moribund ruling coalition then won 546 seats in 2010, leaving just one opposition MP. By 2015, they claimed 100% of all 547 seats. In Equatorial Guinea in 2017, the ruling PDGE won 99 of 100 seats. The lone opposition MP was promptly arrested and his party dissolved. By 2022, the PDGE swept all 100 seats, eliminating the opposition entirely.

BRUTAL TRUTHS ABOUT PEOPLE: 1. The weakest are often most cruel. 2. The dumbest talk the most. 3. The most miserable are the most jealous. 4. The most insignificant are the most arrogant. 5. The wisest remain calm. 6. The strongest are always kind. 7. The smartest often stay silent. 8. The happiest live quietly.

Confusion just like his hair.

Sigmund Freud believed a father must be a “threat,” not a friend, or the son never fully becomes a man. A boy is born into the world of the mother, warmth, forgiveness, safety. But maturity begins only when the father introduces limits, hierarchy, and resistance. Freud called this the “Law of the Father”. not violence, but authority that doesn’t collapse under emotion. When a father becomes a buddy too early, the boy never exits childhood. Historically, initiation meant separation from the mother, fear, discipline, even pain. The father was the guide into danger, responsibility, and competition. Today that role is diluted into reassurance and endless empathy. The result is visible everywhere: grown men addicted to comfort, terrified of criticism, avoiding risk, seeking approval. Friendship with father is possible, but only after strength is proven, not before. Until then, firmness is not cruelty. It is preparation. The world will not negotiate. A father existed to make sure his son could survive that fact.

@mkainerugaba @AkenaJimmyMP how do you say Shut up in your local language?

@JackieLumbasi Systems that don't have the 'citizens' as the stewards will eventually fail catastrophically. Those whose contributions are dependent on the citizens can also fail, but those 'readjustments' are mainly around the structural systems and don't lead to upheaval.

@AkenaJimmyMP Fair point. Although this is about all parties, not only the opposition. I guess what they are trying to contain is the hijacking of parties for personal benefit. Let’s hope they will come up with a better system, uniquely theirs and one that will work for the citizens.

Burkina Faso decided to pass a law banning all political parties. It's the second country to do so. Legislators there say politics no longer unites, it divides. Parliament had members from 15 different parties.

@JackieLumbasi @mkainerugaba Tukutane wapi? Labda Kigali.

@mkainerugaba See you after 3 days 🫣

@ubctvuganda The BVVK machines used during the City Div elections in Lira City, show UPC dominated the elective positions. Stuffing and missing (reappearing voting material) occurred under the guidance and tacit support of sections within the security forces! Kiwunyisa nnyo! @KagutaMuseveni

Museveni: “In the last elections, this NUP group infiltrated 2.7 million fake votes into the system. That is why I insisted on the use of BVVK machines, which were used in Bulambuli and led to the defeat of Bobi Wine and Nandala. ”

@ron4speed @tndnewsuganda @MuzeyiFaizo @NRMOnline @UgandaEC When you expose the obvious, even the most hard hearted can't deny what is true. Unfortunately, there has been too much in the run up to 2026. Tonight in City Division elections we have had read more votes in the polling station that ballot papers issued! C'est la vie? Non!!!!

@tndnewsuganda @MuzeyiFaizo @NRMOnline @AkenaJimmyMP @UgandaEC We thought the NRM rigs! What happened

#BreakingNews: MP Elect of Ajuri County, Alebtong District is Fred Jalameso of UPC. He has finally whipped the Government Chief Whip Denis Hamson Obua after a rerun on January 27. #tndNews #tndNewsAt13 #Elections2026

@rggoobi Good evening. When you plot the Kenyan, Tanzanian and Ugandan GDP figures on one graph, I find nothing to celebrate or write home about. Am I the only one missing seeing this mirage?

You should stop this deliberate misinformation. Uganda’s GDP was almost half that of Kenya in 1985. See the charts:

@PeterL1784787 @YusufSerunkuma Most rigging is done by addition. Removing ballots is considerably harder, to do so, they usually cause all the materials to disappear and then create totally false declarations. I was under attack bcoz of the probabilities made possible by deliberate preparations.

@AkenaJimmyMP @YusufSerunkuma You would hardly get 100k JJMA. See the rigging machine in Lango. Happy you didn't even waste your time afterwards

Instead of these many deaths, abductions, pol prisoners & wasted billions – all to sustain YKM – why not simply concede defeat? I know, it is painful. Look, none is beating M7 through electoral competition or protests. Only death in office, whereupon mere anarchy will loosed upon this earth. Why not impress it upon him & co., of the indiscriminate risks of death in office. this is a difficult proposition, but hear me out. In @observerug this week.
