UGANDA DESERVES SOME 'NECESSARY NOISE' — NOT JAZZING FWAAA!
In the early 2000s, I owned a short-chassis Mitsubishi Pajero - 2.8 litre, 4M40 diesel engine. At the time, it felt like power, prestige, and proof that life was moving. Had I known what I know now, I might have paused…or at least asked a better mechanic.
One morning, somewhere between Kampala optimism and Kabale ambition, the engine taught me a lesson. Just before Mbarara, at that speed bump opposite the Coca-Cola factory, it knocked - then blew. Not coughed. Not protested. Blew.
Long story short, I imported another engine from Japan. The 4M40, as I later learned in the honesty of Ugandan garages, had a reputation. Temperamental. Demanding. Foreign, yes - but it did not fail because it was foreign. It failed because something inside its delicate balance had gone wrong.
That is the thing about engines. And, as it turns out, about policy bills.
A good engine works because its parts trust each other. Pistons do not accuse spark plugs of foreign influence. The crankshaft does not suspect the fuel of betrayal. Everything plays its role within a calibrated system. Once you begin to doubt the very parts that make motion possible, you do not protect the engine - you destabilize it.
That is why the #SovereigntyBill started sounding like my old Pajero before Mbarara. It arrived polished, patriotic, and confident. But soon the knocking began: vague language, wide powers, harsh penalties, and a strange detour into private enterprise, money transfers, church donations, and Ugandans abroad being treated like suspicious spare parts.
Uganda has long been admired as a relatively open and progressive economy. So when a bill begins sounding like it wants to move sensitive financial oversight from the Bank of Uganda garage to the Ministry of Internal Affairs workshop, even the mechanic at Wankoko pauses.
“Owaaye…Enjini eno efudde. Enjini eno erabika eyonoonese.”
And now, timely enough, the 'real mechanic' has spoken.
He has asked that the bill returns to its actual engine room: sovereignty of policy decision-making - not meandering into private transfers, not frightening churches, not turning diaspora remittances into intelligence reports.
But perhaps that question - “why the kelele?” - came, let me say a little late.
Because it is precisely that noise - lawyers like @SarahBireete @miriamatembe raising red flags, @BOU_Official
Governor putting in a stellar performance against the bill, Hon. @MwesigwaRukuta1
giving a logical beware type explanation, citizens like @benmwine asking hard questions in the @Parliament_Ug committee, diaspora groups like Uganda Global voices and many others refusing to be mislabeled, experts like @PhillipKarugaba pointing out constitutional cracks — that forced the bonnet open.
Sometimes, what sounds like kelele (noise) is the engine saving itself.
That day near Mbarara, I learned that when an engine knocks, you do not silence it. You listen.
So before this legislative '4M40' blows at the speed bump of constitutional scrutiny, the wise thing is simple: keep listening, remove the bad parts, and rebuild only what is necessary.
Sometimes, that ka - necessary noise is well deserved. It shows citizens are listening, engaged, and still invested in the country’s engine.
Over to you, Parliamentary Committee. Get it right.

@sejudav Iranian ships are allowed to pass through but not allowed access to Iranian ports
English

Now that makes it THREE- which have passed through! Let us put aside the stupid pretence here; The TRUMP BLOCKADE HAS COLLAPSED by mere CHINESE MUSCLE! That's what i wrote when I talked about BRINKMANSHIP STRATEGY/MADMAN THEORY. Unless one is prepared to push it to the MADNESS LEVEL; but if not, and the adversary calls your bluff and resolutely challenges it, then STRATEGY MUST COLLAPSE! Unless TRUMP IS READY TO GET MAD AND ATTACK CHINESE SHIPS; which most likely can't!
And now seems Iran, or proxies, might have attacked a Ship in the Gulf of Oman; making good their threat that if their PORTS ARE BLOCKADED, SO WILL ALL OTHER PORTS IN THE GULF REGION. And it just needs one $30, 000 DRONE TO BURN THE SHIP! @rwomchechen

My term was the hardest. It was during Covid 19 and post Covid period. I had to contend with many young people holed up in many places with no food, money, and needed help. I was there for some of them. Sending my personal help where I could. Fortunately, was still in office and allowed to move without restrictions since I used a police vehicle. I too was affected by COVID. Much as many believed it was a stunt, my situation helped many to understand that COVID could catch anyone. I went with my phone in hospital and showed everyone that cared on twitter that you needed to be careful not to catch it but if you did, you could beat it. I also encouraged young people to think outside the box and hustle. I visited many entrepreneurial skills development programs and gave personal resources where I could. I also reached out to young people with relationship issues especially escalated by the COVID situation. I am glad, I made my contribution to UoX. Glory goes back to God.
