On Falcao, Makerere's Teargas "Inventor" Nearly a decade ago now, NTV news ran a story about a Makerere University student Samuel Mugarura who had "invented" a new brand of teargas. According to the news story Samuel was a student at the department of Chemistry--a claim the department denied in the same broadcast. Police too were involved, warning this budding innovator about the risks of this "innovation". I had left Makerere a year earlier, but knew the student from his activism at Lumumba Hall and his Biotechnology program building which abutted our own Zoology department. Around campus he went by the moniker "Falcao"--after the famous Colombian footballer Radamel Falcao, who had joined Manchester United a few seasons earlier. To many of us Falcao was perhaps more widely known for mischief, a penchant for rowdiness, and was certainly not a Victor Frankenstein. So why did NTV news insist he was a Chemistry student? Days, or perhaps weeks, passed before the young scientist Falcao appeared in the news. The then IGP Kale Kayihura had read about his exploits and summoned him--and from that followed a call from State House. Things took a turn. Now Makerere University Chemistry professors were claiming Falcao as one of their own. Out of the window were their earlier statements of caution to the media that the fellow was a struggling student who would benefit from spending more time focused on his studies than doing pyrotechnics on TV! Suddenly, this unlikely Victor Frankenstein was holding meetings with the heads of URSB, NEC-UPDF, among other government entities. In 2017, he received UGX 400M to help him standardize his teargas product. "He says that the money was channeled to his account through the council for science and technology," reported the online publication Matooke Republic. The last I read he was appearing before a parliamentary committee on Science and Innovation in 2021 to seek 18 million dollars (about 66 billion shillings) funding to establish a tear gas "factory" in Uganda. To date, I am not aware of any teargas manufacturing plant, or what became of Falcao. *** This story is illustrative of how, untethered from scrutiny, "science" and "innovation" can become a vehicle for arbitrary (and most times wasteful) allocation of public resources. In his recent diatribe against Andrew Mwenda, the President seems to suggest that public investments in such schemes dressed as "innovation" or "value addition" should be guided by something closer to faith than evidence. The President invokes the spirit of John 20:29--that those who believe without seeing proof are truly blessed. Such thinking, applied to public funding of innovations, is a path to disaster. Science and Technology is more valuable to society not when it is protected from well-meaning public scrutiny, but when it is open to accountability. In its current state, the funding of innovations appears uncoordinated, arbitrary and raises serious questions about the judgment of those who decide what ideas should or should not be funded. Is there a peer-review process--or its equivalent--that informs such decisions? It should be okay to ask such questions. Photo: Falcao in an NTV news screen grab, September 2016.

@gloriaolana @melvinnasasira 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that Ebola was the real one

@OGWALTK @melvinnasasira Btw, that side was the hub

The only Ebola I take seriously was the one we had in Gulu in the early 2000s, it wiped out the entire bardege division, at some point we had to be under a lock down (no school), that variant of Ebola was brought by the UPDF from Congo, one you caught it now by evening you are gone to your creater by evening. It killed two of my teachers, I saw the photos of the patients since my Dad was a journalist back then, he had access to the footage of the patients, the last death that sent the entire town into mourning was that of Doctor Matthew Lukwiya.

@PeaceVictoria1 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I asked him whether prayer was the only solution to his problems to which he said yes I told him man go pray

@OGWALTK I am not surprised 😂😂

Just from firing one. Out of her 5working days, she wants 2 for prayer meetings which starts at 8am to 8pm.

@Son_of_Lwabibi 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Adnan got served big shoulders on a platter with chili

Rugby is hard. God I'm laughing so hard!!😂😂

@FrancisOkullu @gloriaolana @melvinnasasira Ask matron Lucy if she is still alive. I remember this like yesterday you would get your water from the borehole and they put for you a drop of jik for you to take your bath

@OGWALTK @gloriaolana @melvinnasasira It was deadly but I don't remember the part of bathing with Jik.

@abaasadaniel 😂😂😂😂😂 interest yourself in knowing the meaning of the word ''Ijalla' it will make a lot of sense why he scores

I don't know the name but one thing is for certain, Ijalla plays, Ijalla scores! #TwendeNairobi #PiratesStrong

@BunkzND But no work 😂😂😂😂 guy talks more than he acts but people can't see that

@OGWALTK Mao has a lot of words 😂

Weng nono.

@amronaldo May the world be kind to you and to your children

@OGWALTK It had become very clear to me over the past 5 years that

Today, Monday 25 May 2026, I will lift up Anita Among in prayer. I will pray that the witch‑hunt against her comes to an end. I will pray that the “charges” evaporate into thin air. I will pray that she keeps every shilling of whatever she accumulated. I will pray that those who rise against her are scattered. I will pray that God either elevates her or grants her peace. And I will pray all this for one simple reason: there is no one left with the moral authority to judge her. If they spared the other one, then let them spare her too. Let corruption reign in this country. Let it reign without shame. Because clearly, no one in power has the moral authority to act the way they are acting now. May God protect you, @AnitahAmong. The rest is in His hands, since those entrusted with justice have long abandoned it.
