@NinyeTabz In Tororo only like 3 fuel stations still have petrol. That's the latest price in one of them.

Once again, how much is fuel at the fuel station near you?

Serves them right. This govt has been normalised conducting serious business in tents. This nomadic pastoralist approach to matters of national importance needs to stop.

I'm sorry but why is Onyum being tried in an open court but Dr Besigye and all the other prisoners are tried via Zoom? What's so special about his crime? Why weren't Nandutu and her peers tried in an open court in Moroto? What next, a public hanging?

@Arsenal Learn to make some professional fouls to break attacks FFS! Cherki wouldn't have scored if Eze had done so. It appears the players fear yellow cards more than they fear conceding.

On level terms after 45. Continue the fight in the second half, Gunners ✊

But why would you blah blah blah instead of blah blah blah? The internet has got some of you confused as to where your sphere of influence ends. When the opportunity ever presents itself to you, only then can you do with it as you please. Learn to let people be!

@melvinnasasira But can't we lobby for a bill to strip UCC of the consumer protection docket? But then one remembers we have UHRC that's supposed to fight for human rights and how powerless they are and one just chooses to "lie low like an envelope" Uganda!

At least CanalBox has the decency to stop working completely when it has issues. MTN and Airtel keep you in a state of confusion, wondering whether you have data or not, whether the problem is your phone, the network, the weather, or just Uganda itself. It is genuinely crazy out here. In a functioning country, UCC would have already been ahead of this. A statement acknowledging the CanalBox internet outage, confirming they are engaging the company, and guaranteeing customer compensation for the downtime. Standard stuff. Basic stuff. But this is Uganda, and UCC exists primarily to switch off the internet during elections and collect a salary in between. Consumer protection is somewhere further down the list, after regime interests and before nothing. We are truly lucky to have them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I mean, what would we do without th​em​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​?

@beewol But do you want to say your relatives in the army never used to come home with AKs in the 90s and they tell you that "inoma ber ijoda adope arasasit aroo?"

The President is right - we civilians need to understand the science of arms for when our country needs us. How do civilians take part in these trainings? Thank you.

@AllanSseky Yes. And Yes!

If you've ever used this software, you should be on your fourth kid now!!

@mtnug Naye MTN. How about #MaxxYoMinutes? How can I call someone for 5seconds and you bill it as a minute. I'm using MTN Freedom bundles BTW. Is it a gimmick to make us deplete "the minutes that don't expire" sooner? Mwedeko! Cc: @ConsumerUCC @sylmulinge

@M_Kananura Here in Tororo a Police Patrol pickup knocked a bodaboda and left him for dead on the Tororo-Malaba highway, around 500m from the UCI Police post. The poor lad lay on the road for over 20min! I'm sure such victims never make it to your statistics.

Among the crashes registered in the past week, 2 particularly tragic incidents involved motorcycles, one in Manafwa & another in Buyende. 10 lives were lost in these crashes with each motorcycle carrying five people who all died instantly. Many road crashes continue to result from careless overtaking and speeding, which accounted for 51% of the total crashes. In response, a number of interventions are being undertaken, including targeted traffic enforcement operations conducted over the past week. Offenders apprehended: • Driving DMC 325 • Violation of traffic direction:41 • Riding without a helmet 139 • Dangerous loading 92 • Pillion riding 118 • Operating without a valid license 53 • Illegal modification 83 • Drink driving 11 • Abandoned/broken-down vehicles 10 • Violating route chart 6 878 offenders were apprehended These operations will continue as efforts intensify to restore sanity on our roads. We urge all road users to remain vigilant and comply with traffic laws to prevent further loss of life.

@Lovandfear Watching movies.

what’s something you enjoy more alone than with people?

Arsenal asking Chelsea for help in the title race.

Bro, you failing to get joy in your own team does not mean you get your entire dopamine hits from Arsenal's misery. It's not sustainable!

@DeeSandy20 That guy is on NTV seeds of gold every Saturday. How he got access to such a platform I don't know.

Banange where did the guy of ‘capital goats’ go? 🌚🌚

When AAA said "when you are invited to somebody's home you don't go up to the bedroom but you remain in the compound," this "kamanyiro" is what she meant. Imagine someone who probably watches Arsenal through an illegal streaming app making such demands!

@MatchDCentral No wonder the speaker of the Ugandan Parliament, in response to one of her challengers to the speakership who isn't a member of the NRM party but has a cooperation agreement with it said when you are invited into a home you don't enter up to the bedroom. Eric should know better!

💣🚨LEGAL : A fan of Arsenal, identified as Eric Kyama in Uganda, has reportedly decided to take legal action against the club, citing “emotional distress” and other grievances following recent performances. Kyama is said to be preparing to file the case in court, claiming the team’s displays have caused significant frustration and disappointment. No official response has been issued yet by Arsenal.

@norbertmao And yet in your tenure as Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the constitution has been so abused one must disabuse oneself of notion that you actually care about justice or constitutionalism.

After 30 years it is time for an inclusive, transparent and comprehensive review of the Constitution. Nevertheless, this is not the time for piecemeal constitutional changes. Both the Parliament and the Executive agree on this. The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs through the Law Reform Commission has compiled a rack of Constitutional Reform Proposals including the extended tenure of the National Assembly. But the timing of Constitutional Reforms is a political process requiring political will. We expect that the process will not get stalled in the next five years.

@SpireJim MP for the elderly. 🤗

What would be the ideal retirement plans in the Ugandan setting?

Mao has performed abysmally as Minister of Justice and constitutional affairs. I wonder what makes some people think him becoming speaker of Parliament is a good idea. Don't let the flowery language deceive you. He too is all foam and no beer.

We have sent rent arrears to the wrong number and the recipient refuses to refund the money but somehow Arteta thinks he can stress us? Nah man, you lose all the remaining games if you want!
