Politics of hate will not build Uganda.
When I posted that I had joined @AnitahAmong at the send-off of her mother in law, some of our supporters attacked me here. Honestly, even when we disagree politically, it doesn't make us enemies who should wish each other bad 1/2

@MuhamadiMatovu @SarahBireete Thank you for that wonderful update especially to those young pple. But l do think he was just removed for he wouldn't allow certain amendments or would be not very receptive to what M7 wanted to achieve politically. He was like Kadaga and wanted the true democracy to flourish

#Flashback : James Wapakhabulo served as Speaker of Parliament between July 4, 1996 and July 1998 during the 6th Parliament.
He did not complete the full five-year term because President Museveni appointed him as National Political Commissar (NPC) under the Movement system, a senior executive role seen as a strategic redeployment.
Wapakhabulo is remembered as one of Uganda’s most accomplished Speakers, largely due to his deep understanding of constitutional law and his leadership of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the 1995 Constitution.
His tenure lasted about two years, ending prematurely due to a political reshuffle within the Movement system. At the time, Uganda operated under the “No-Party” system, which required strong political mobilization and ideological coordination.
Wapakhabulo was viewed as a unifying and highly skilled leader, making him a natural choice for the NPC role. His transfer from Parliament to the executive was intended to strengthen the Movement’s political organization and prepare it for future national challenges.

Yesterday, at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) Kyakwanzi, together with the @NPA_UG Chairperson,@pamdebams had the honour of presenting to His Excellency the President, @KagutaMuseveni, the current and incoming #NRM Hon. Members of Parliament at their ongoing Retreat, on how to fast-track the achievement of the 10-fold growth ambition. The #NDPIV is the first Plan in the implementation of this ambition. At the centre of this is socio-economic transformation.
I articulated the areas Government is prioritizing to achieve this. These include: Full monetization of the economy via wealth creation initiatives; Value addition in agriculture, tourism & minerals; Knowledge economy & STI interventions; Investing in SGR high-speed rail & meter gauge railway; Infrastructure development & maintenance; Reduction in the cost of credit through UDB, UDC and other financial solutions; Revenue generating interventions; Cost effective delivery of social services; Culture & creative industry & Games & sports with focus on AFCON; and investment in Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA), among others.
These priorities form our blueprint & roadmap towards transformative prosperity for all Ugandans.
I encouraged the Hon. MPs to champion the implementation of these priorities, with urgency, unity and synergy to deliver the much desired socio-economic transformation.

High Court finds that once a grant of probate has expired, it may only be “resurrected” through an application for renewal by extension made to the court that issued it, and that only a named executor in the grant has locus standi to apply for such renewal.
In Mukundane Fide v Vincent Senyondo (Deceased) (Estate of the Late John Bwesigye), Misc. Application No. HCT-05-FD-MA-781-2025 (6 March 2026), Hon. Justice Nshimye Allan Paul M dismissed an application seeking revocation of probate, renewal of the same probate, and substitution of the deceased executor.
On perusal of the application, the Court noted that the late Vincent Senyondo, who died on 12 March 2024, had been granted probate to the estate of the late John Bwesigye on 30 October 1997.
The Court found that the grant of probate issued on 30 October 1997 expired on 31 May 2025 by operation of section 337(2) of the Succession Act, Cap 268, and that by the time the application was filed on 15 October 2025, the grant had already expired and was no longer valid.
The Court noted that once a grant of probate has expired, it can only be “resurrected” through an application for renewal by extension made to the court that issued it under sections 255(3) or 337(4) of the Act. The Court further held that only a named executor in the grant has locus to file such an application under section 337(4), and since the applicant was not named as an executor in the expired grant, she had no locus to seek renewal.
The Court also stated that the applicant could have moved the court before the grant expired to have it revoked for being inoperative under section 230(1) and (2)(d), but that option was not pursued before expiry. It added that where a grant of probate has been rendered inoperative, it becomes a basis for revocation under section 230(1) and (2)(d), and once revoked, the court may, under section 230(5), appoint a fit and proper person as administrator with the will annexed. However, in the judge’s view, the court could not revoke a grant of probate that was no longer valid after expiring on 31 May 2025.
The Court advised that the applicant and beneficiaries may instead apply for letters of administration with the will annexed, since they were not named as executors in the will and the executor, Vincent Senyondo, had died. The application was accordingly dismissed.

🚨🚨 WAKE-UP CALL FROM JUSTICE NAMISI: ALIMONY IS NOT YOUR RIGHT AFTER DIVORCE
Justice Helene Namisi delivered a sharp reality check in DMM v MW (Family Appeal E103 of 2024). Divorce does not come with automatic maintenance. Alimony is not assumed. It is not implied. And it is certainly not guaranteed just because you were a wife. In this case, a husband petitioned for divorce. The wife opposed it but never pleaded for alimony. The trial court nevertheless ordered the husband to pay Kshs. 50,000 per month, branding the wife “destitute.” On appeal, Justice Namisi dismantled that order entirely.
The Court was painfully clear on the law. For one to qualify for maintenance, you must be destitute in the true legal sense. Not struggling. Not uncomfortable. Not adjusting to divorce. Destitute. And that status must be proved, not assumed. You must file an Affidavit of Means, disclose your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities, and demonstrate inability to support yourself. In this case, none of that was done. Worse still, the Respondent herself testified that she was a businesswoman and a tailor. Justice Namisi held that once you admit you have a professional skill, however modest the income, you disqualify yourself from alimony. The law does not care that tailoring earns little. If you can earn, you are not destitute.
This judgment is a loud alarm bell. Alimony must be pleaded. It is not automatic. It must be proved. And you must show why you need it and how the money will be used. Courts will not guess. They will not pity. And they will not turn an able spouse into a permanent dependent. Justice Namisi has said it plainly: if you can sew, trade, or run a business, the law expects you to sustain yourself. Divorce is not a retirement plan, and maintenance is not a reward for marriage.

Today i proflie the independent minded and fearless Judge, John Bosco Katutsi.
Early life;
He was born in Rukonkoma village,Rukungiri district in 1945. He went to kinyansano and Rushoroza primary schools. He joined Butobere for O level and Namilyango college for A level. He studied law at Makerere University graduating in 1972.
Career;
• Joined the Judiciary as a magistrate in Mbale in 1972.
• He resigned from the Judiciary in 1980 when he learned that Obote was coming back as president.
• He joined the Judiciary again in 1988.
• In 2008 he was appointed to head the newly established Anti-corruption.
• He retired in 2011 from the Judiciary
• In 2011 hee got a short term contract in both Liberia and Sierra Leone to train Judicial officers.
• He launched his autobiography "From Skins to Robes" in 2021.
As a judge on the bench;
• In 1977 Judge John Bosco Katutsi as a magistrate in Mbale presided over the trial and remand of President Idi Amin's wife Mariam.
• Katutsi released Dr, Kiiza Besigye on bail/illegal detention. He ruled that Kiiza Besigye's continued detention was illegal and unlawful ordering his release. The ruling was seen as a major test of the Ugandan Judiciary independence from the executive branch.
• In a widely publicised ruling, Judge John Bosco Katutsi acquitted Besigye of rape charges. In his ruling he castigated the state for framing the case in an "amateurish" and "childish" manner. Stating that the evidence was so poorly constructed that no sane person would use it to convict even a petty thief. He ended up hurting the egos of some circles closer to the state.
• Conviction of John Sandy Katuramu.
Katutsi convicted the former Tooro Kingdom prime minister to death for the murder of Prince Charles Happy Kijjanangoma .
• Teddy Seezi Cheye conviction;
As head of the Anti-corruption court, Katutsi made a landmark judgement against the former director of economic monitoring sentencing him to 10 years for embezzlement and forgery. In his ruling he said " In siphoning funds meant to alleviate and ease the suffering of the wretched of the earth, the victims of the scourge of HIV/AIDS, Tuberclosis and malaria into his own stomach, he is no better than a mass murderer, which in truth he is". He ordered him to refund 100 million shillings.
• Acquittal of MPS Reagan Okumu and Michael Ochula;
In 2005 Reagan and Micheal both prominent opposition politicians in Gulu were arrested and charged for the murder of Alfred Bongomin the LC3 chairman of Pabbo camp in Gulu which occurred in 2002. The state alleged that they held a meeting to plan the killing of Bongomin, an NRM supporter. Human rights watch and other observers described the charges as politically motivated and intended to stifle opposition before the 2006 elections.
Judge John Bosco Katutsi acquitted them, stating the prosecution's evidence was "insufficient and shady."
• David Chandi Jamwa conviction;
In 2011 Katutsi convicted the former NSSF managing director for causing financial loss of 3.1 billion. Jamwa was accused of selling NSSF Treasury bonds before their maturity He sentenced him to 12 years in prison and barred him from holding any public office for 10 years. He however acquitted him for the charge of abuse of office. During the trial Katutsi lamented that the court was only catching "small fish" like Jamwa while the" crocodiles and big fish" were left to swim freely. While delivering his ruling Katutsi quoted the former UN general secretary Koffi Anan on the prevalence of corruption. He said "corruption was a crime of immense proportions that must be stamped out". He added that greed should be punished.
Jamwa's case was the last before Katutsi's retirement. He made sure to emphasize his disdain for the corrupt and his frustration that state prosecutors appear to choose which cases of graft to bring to court. Katutsi asked the prosecution why other senior government officials implicated in the case were not prosecuted.
