The 53rd class of law at MUK just graduated. After four years studying law, I am more than convinced that legal literacy matters for all Ugandans. I share this and more in this piece in Daily monitor. Find it via monitor.co.ug/uganda/oped/le…

In the Age Limit petitions, we successfully challenged Parliament’s attempt to extend its own term from 5 to 7 years. Any decision to extend parliamentary (or presidential) terms beyond what’s constitutionally permitted cannot be made by incumbents voting for their own extension.

In Northern Ghana, hundreds of women accused of witchcraft live in exile. Their voices are at the center of the exhibition 'Ghana: Branded for Life'. As many of them say: “I’m not a witch.” Explore their stories and experiences through this virtual exhibition.

Eyes on the future! : The AI-powered ClimCam on the ISS is a game-changer for the region, providing near-real-time data to monitor floods, droughts, and climate change. As our Vice Chancellor, Prof. Pauline Byakika-Kibwika noted: "Zaina’s contribution is a living embodiment of our university’s name, proving that the science and technology we develop here have no earthly limits. You are a true MUST Trailblazer, and we celebrate." We acknowledge the photos from Egyptian Space Agency

From MUST to the International Space Station! We are bursting with pride for Eng. Zaina Kalyankolo from FAST, a key mind behind the AI-powered ClimCam now orbiting Earth. Her achievement is a true testament to the power of science and technology at @MbararaUST. Zaina helped design and calibrate the camera’s optical subsystem. She worked on configuring and aligning the optical sensors responsible for capturing high-quality environmental imagery and spectral data. Her rigorous testing ensured the system could capture clear images under varying atmospheric conditions. These optics are central to the ClimCam mission, enabling the instrument to gather precise visual data for climate analysis. She worked with colleagues from Egypt, Kenya and Uganda (Kyambogo University, Soroti University)

Our MPS should understand that Parliamentary legitimacy rests on the quality of legislation and how the laws enacted serve the common citizen , not merely on the quantity / volume of legislation enacted as numerical substitues can barely be efficient.

Every day, hundreds, maybe thousands of Ugandans - all of them in the prime years - leave the country in search of greener pastures in the Middle East. A desperate journey to escape from the lack of opportunities in their beautiful home. Tens of them never make it back alive. Many of those who do return with horrible stories: they are turned into commodities, bought and sold, used and abused at the leisure of their owner. Some of them get permanent mental instabilities. The @GovUganda - which has the mandate to protect all Ugandans in and outside the country - can do way more than releasing a list of licensed companies, which is all it does actually now. This, latest documentary from @AgoraCFR shows the magnitude of the problem, and the horrible suffering the families goes through! Watch the full documentary on Monday April 13, 2025, at 10 am. #AgoraInvestigates

My petition challenging the offence of insulting the modesty of only women or girls under Section 115 of the Penal Code Act, which discriminates against boys and males on basis of sex contrary to Articles 21, 24 of the 1995 Uganda Constitution, is set for hearing . . . 1

Thousands of Muslims performed Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem after it reopened to worshippers following a 40-day closure by the Israeli army that barred access to Islam’s third-holiest site after the war on Iran began.

Nine countries have nuclear weapons, but dozens more use nuclear technology for energy, medicine and research. While the global rules on nukes were written in 1970, Al Jazeera’s @eltahan_yasmeen explains how they haven't always been followed.

How many more Ediths must we lose before the system admits that incarcerating citizens on bailable offenses—esp. for political activity—is a scourge that undermines the rule of law, public trust & human dignity? My condolences to @AMufumbiro @HEBobiwine @DavidLRubongoya @NUP_Ug

“And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.” Qur’an Surah Al-Hijr (15:16)

Loving your country should never be synonymous with loving your government.

I have tasted academic downfall. I have also tasted academic excellence. I highly recommend praying 5 times a day and having tawakal

6205 and 3869 are not random numbers. They share a beautiful mathematical relationship. Split 6205 into 62 and 05: 62² + 05² = 3844 + 25 = 3869 Now split 3869 into 38 and 69: 38² + 69² = 1444 + 4761 = 6205 This is called a mirror squared sum, where both numbers generate each other using the same rule.

All Ugandan drivers must undertake a refresher course in low beam & full beam headlight usage You lot are going to kill us one of these days 🤦🏾‍♂️

Even we have to agree with this.
