High Court Judge Collins Acellam has awarded this victim of torture by @ugprisons, Ayebale Innocent, UGX 60M in damages. @AgoraCFR offered him medical and legal support. He deserved more than that but we welcome this positive step in the fight against torture which, despite strong provisions in the law, has become rampant. Special thanks to @AgoraCFR lawyers @StephenAtukwat1 and @murungi_pato and Dr. @yigarobert3

Innocent here was also beaten in prison. He had been taken there on suspicion of theft when he was found at a building he had come to all the way from Kagadi looking for his sister. The case was dropped after many months because there was no evidence

@SpireJim That’s a tricky one. One of the functions of the Parliamentary Commision is to discipline persons holding public office in parliament. However, the commision is led by a speaker. Other members are the PM, Minister of Finance and 3 other MPs. #UgandaParliamentExhibitionII

"Between July 2025 and February 2026, about UGX 10 billion was channeled for mainly the speaker. the 4 commissioners only took UGX 450 million each."~@AAgather You have probably seen the vouchers and graphics showing billions of money that were allegedly stolen by the parliamentary commissioners and moved through the parliamentary SACCO, but you never understood the full context. We recorded an explanatory expose episode in which @Agather explains that particular scandal and more hidden information about how the racket at the helm of parliament operates. Full episode will premiere today on Agora's official YouTube channel at 4:00 pm EAT. #UgandaParliamentExhibitionII

The Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award 2026 is a humbling recognition! It was also such a big honour for the Geneva event to be graced by Nobel Laureate in Economics, Prof. Joseph Stiglitz. I do not take it for granted. Thank you

"The Protection of Sovereignty bill rather takes away the sovereignty of Ugandans and gives it to the Minister of Internal Affairs.... It should be rejected by this committee." Consel @PhillipKarugaba while appearing before the Legal Affairs Committee on behalf of @ccgea1

Ugandans are leaving home in search of greener pastures but for many, the journey ends in exploitation, suffering, or death.

Criminal Cases backlog in Uganda stands at over 46,000 unresolved cases [2024/2025]. Will criminal cases also be resolved through mediation? Is Mediation by compulsion of the Law Constitutional? Mediation alone shall not address Admnistrative inefficiency!
