I advise some ladies to steer clear of some of these issues. It doesn't matter how many times Mzee calls you. That doesn't make you amount to anything! I remember Winnie Karagwa being as excited as some of you in 1986.

anita among's greatest sin is not the misappropriation of public funds it is the public consumption of 'em the vulgar display of accumulation the transformation of corruption from a concealed vice into a performative lifestyle those who've been around know how deeply filthy and compromised the entire kampala establishment has always been hers is not an isolated moral collapse it is simply corruption stripped of discretion and that is what the establishment cannot forgive her impendin' downfall will not signal the end of corruption or the beginnin' of an actual, serious fight against it it'll instead serve as a warnin' to newcomers to return to the good ol' doctrine that has governed the system for decades: steal quietly embezzle intelligently loot modestly steal gavi funds, but drive a passo, not a rolls royce or mercedes benz grab temangalo land, but build a modest house, not a 100-bedroom arcade fleece chogm money, but don't construct a hospital and immortalize our names on the wards buy junk helicopters, but don't acquire prime property across kampala alone, because we also want access to 'em in other words: be like us, naye totulabisa participate in the system, but do not expose the scale of greed behind it because the establishment has never truly been offended by corruption itself it is offended when greed becomes too visible, too concentrated, too arrogant when one person begins to consume publicly what was historically distributed quietly among the few, morality becomes selective not a principled rejection of theft, but an internal quarrel over proportions, visibility and access to privilege anjagala ansange e bukunja 👋

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell you people. You have to live in this country knowing what it actually is. A dysfunctional country where almost everything is broken. Stop watching shows set in functional countries and deciding to take up the lifestyle of someone in Stockholm. Please, do not start jogging on the Northern Bypass at 5AM because the woman in the Netflix series jogs at 5AM. Her country has lights, working police response, ambulances that arrive, and sections designed for human beings. Yours has potholes, darkness, and a government that will not miss you when you die. In a dysfunctional country, security is not guaranteed and nobody will be held responsible for your death, even when keeping you alive was technically their job. So you have to build your own systems. You have to become your own safety plan. Move through life like the country is quietly working against you, because in many practical ways, it is. Do not drive at 180 km/h, please. Not on the rotten roads, for obvious reasons, and not on the few decent ones either, because the moment something goes wrong, your odds of surviving are slim. The hospital without drugs is far, the ambulance does not have fuel and wait, even the doctors are on strike! Drive like the next vehicle on the road is a mad man under the influence, because honestly, more often than you think, it actually is. Avoid getting sick. Sleep under a mosquito net. Take only boiled water. Wash your hands often. Take vitamins if you can afford them. You want to ask me why? Well, in this country, even a small illness can take you out because the health system is held together by prayers and a few overworked intern doctors and nurses. Please, do not gamble with your body. When you go to party at night, leave with enough money for an Uber back home. Or just do not stay out too late too often. The streets after midnight in this city are not the streets you knew at noon. They belong to other people now and they are not too friendly. When you have children, have a number you can realistically protect and provide for, even on your worst day. The argument of “I can afford” works perfectly in a country with safety nets. In ours, your ability to afford can vanish in a single week, with a single illness, a single political shift, a single bad season. It is not up to you but we seem to forget that many times. Cheat the curse of this country. Do not give it easy openings. Live like you know exactly where you live. Live like the country has issued no promises and is keeping none. This is the wisdom you will need to survive an extra day. It is genuinely sad that we keep losing young people like this. So much potential, so much warmth, gone because the basic conditions of a normal life are not available here. My condolences to you and to your friend’s family. May the rest of us learn from this, painful as it is to admit that learning from death is now part of how we survive.

“I can't see any African country today building a refinery, and if they tried, I wish them best of luck. Africans generally might not have this kind of capital. Even when they have, they don't want to invest. They're scared about investing. We are not.” 650,000 reasons a day.

This cost them about $1 trillion. The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people. And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

The Observer
The Observer@observerug·
So... The President proposes his beautiful Bill. Somehow, this “beautiful Bill” is hijacked by a Cabinet that sits every Monday at his official residence. And these Cabinet meetings are chaired by the President, or his delegate. Anyway… Clauses Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five... are inserted. The Attorney General, a member of Cabinet, directly appointed by the President, and the government’s designated legal adviser, somehow sees all this. And advises that the Bill be sent to the Ministry of Finance, for which the President is the official minister, to obtain the mandatory Certificate of Financial Implications. The Ministry of Finance duly issues the Certificate of Financial Implications. And the Bill, now laden with all the smuggled-in clauses, is tabled by the Minister of State for Internal Affairs -another direct appointee and member of Cabinet. It is tabled in a Parliament whose Speaker swears to follow and fall in the name of the President, His Son, and the Daughters. Your Cabinet is present. Your Attorney General is present. For the next two weeks, your Attorney General vehemently defends the Bill on the floor and across your government’s media. Your latest big blue fish recruit, a law professor, almost without prompting, steps in to defend the Bill nonetheless. Your toad-eaters, who, also swear by the Father, if not the Son, besmirch anyone opposed to the Bill, branding them vent merchants and foreign agents. Conductor? Maaso awo ku Mulago stage
