One area that needs overhaul is our certificates of #financial implication A detailed cost-impact analysis capturing revenue foregone, opportunity cost to the economy, etc must be attached This is how we were told Mobile Money & OTT taxes were "progressive" for the economy

The certificate of financial implications is a total mismatch with the Bill. Same with the NRM caucus brief! Cultural identity, digital sovereignty cybersecurity, moral values etc are all not in the Bill. Did Minister Lugoloobi read the Bill?

@HakiimsWampamba @TheMutaD @mofpedU @BOU_Official @rggoobi, is this the economics that works you promised Ugandans?

The @mofpedU manages the fiscal policy and the @BOU_Official manages monetary policy. The Ugandan Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development has 5 Ministers namely; 1.Hon Matia Kasaija 2.Hon. Amos Lugoloobi 3.Hon. Evelyn Anite 4.Hon.Henry Musaasizi 5.Hon.Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo The Ministry’s Permanent Secretary is Dr.@rggoobi Now, that Ministry issued a certificate of financial implication and it was signed by Hon. Amos Lugoloobi. The Central Bank has this afternoon rejected the Protection of Sovereignty Bill in entirety. This raises questions, on whether the managers of the country’s fiscal policy talk to those managing the monetary policy . Do they work in a synchronized way for better management of one of the most promising economies in Sub Saharan Africa ? Do each of the two works independently and somehow hope that things turn out better for Ugandans ? Recently we learnt that Dr. Ezra Suruma an Economist is one of the most paid Presidential advisors. Did the proponents of the Bill ever consult him and if they did not , what is the value of paying people that are either never consulted or in the event that they are , why not take their advice ?

.@Airtel_Ug and .@UCC_Official can you please explain this: why in the world will the telco require medical certificate of death to transfer a SIM card of a deceased to the spouse? What bizarre statistics are you drawing from someone’s medical history and cause of death, which should be a very private matter? Or you just enjoy people’s grief so much that you have to put such sadistic obstacles in people’s way? Is @NIRA_Ug death certificate not enough? Should I curse you in English, Serbian, or Rukiga?

Listening to Governor Bank of Uganda talk about the dangers of the proposed SOVEREIGNTY BILL to the economy, IDI AMIN to came to mind! Story is told when Uganda was faced with acute shortage of FOREIGN EXCHANGE, and every time Amin was told they couldn't buy this, or that, because of Foreign Exchange. Amin got so pissed off and told Maliyamungu to go and "ARREST THIS FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND HAVE HIM SHOT IMMEDIATELY"! These Africans think SOVEREIGNITY IS BUILT ON LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND POLITICAL STATEMENTS! Reason African Countries easily COLLAPSE! TRUE INDEPENDENCE/SOVEREIGNTY, is grounded in ECONOMIC AUTONOMY AND FISCAL HEALTH of a Country. Once a Country depends on FOREIGN CAPITAL, it necessarily loses SOVEREIGNTY! SOVEREIGNTY is anchored on capacity to produce and sustain an INDEPENDENT ECONOMY, not PARLIAMENTARY KWALA-KWALA! Seems we haven't learned from mistakes of the past when Kwame Nkrumah declared:"SEEK YE FIRST THE POLITCAL KINGDOM..."; doesn't work that way. It is SEEK YE FIRST THE ECONOMIC KINGDOM, AND ALL ELSE SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU"! Use this political independence to build ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY; everything then will fall into place.

In Musutwa Godfrey vs. Commissioner Land Registration; HCMC No.22 of 2023 (April 27, 2026) Bukirwa, Ag. J (Land Division) reaffirmed the auxillary power of the High Court to cancel a transfer of title after a civil determination of rights in an action for recovery of land👌🏿.

Following @rigathi's politically motivated impeachment case that the lawyers argue didn't meet constitutional standards, there's an interesting argument about public participation and this lawyer puts mathematically in this way:

Similarly, in Park Royal Ltd vs. Uganda Land Commission & Others; HCMC No.46 of 2014 (March 20, 2015) Mugenyi, J (as she then was) (Land Division) reaffirmed that cancellation of title for fraud is evoked by a valid recovery of land under the Registration of Titles Act👌🏿.

Dr. @kizzabesigye1 yafuna the Mpanga’s nga kirabo. I was here thinking that if Baguma was JB Katutsi we would find a recreation of this in his memoir in future. In 2005 it was Daudi Mpanga against CID head Elizabeth Kutesa and Deputy DPP Byabakama. 21 years later in 2026 it’s Frederick Mpanga against Kyomuhendo. The constant is the accused.

Courtroom Comedy: Lawyers engage in a heated yet humorous exchange over time allocation during the hearing involving Rigathi Gachagua.

Being an MP in Uganda is a profitable business, here is a breakdown of their top benefits: 1. Salary (ranging between 36M to 55M) 2. You qualify to get a loan of 1 billion shillings in any bank 3. 200M for your new car 4. 45M for as a wardrobe grant for clothings 5. Full family health insurance for 5 years 6. All flights (business class) outside the country are paid for by the tax payers money. 7. For each night you spend outside the country, you receive 2.7M shs. 8. Gratuity (30% of annual salary) 9. Pension

In Caltex (U) t/a Chevron (U) Ltd vs. Ben Asiimwe & Another; CACA No.64 of 2014 (April 22, 2026) Dr. Mugenyi, JA upheld that initiating criminal proceedings does not relieve the employer of its duty to conduct a disciplinary hearing before dismissing an employee for misconduct👌🏿.

Senior Peter Wanyama Blocked me briefly I argued the Impeachment Motion was poorly Drafted. Today, Ongoya SC tells us how & why, nice scenes. Flames🔥🔥✅️

Justice Hellen Wasilwa writes a Demand Letter to Nelson Havi SC warning of a Defamation Suit. And the Response is here. 😅😅 Letu jicho tu.

I have tried as much as possible to avoid talking and writing about the so called "Protection of Sovereignty Bill" because I hold the view that discussing it amounts to promotion and glorification of dimwitry and imbecility by a few charlatans that wrongly occupy public office in Uganda. There is a stark difference between tolerating divergent opinion and getting comfortable in the gutter. When someone drags you to the gutter, it is imperative to first pull them out of the gutter before the conversation on the basis of diversity of opinion can begin. For me, that is an irreducible minimum!

#hotoffthebench You’ll read many precedent-setting decisions, but make a point of reading the Court of Appeal decision,especially Justice Joel Ngugi’s lead opinion, with concurrences by Kiage and Tuiyott. Ngugi delivers a progressive framework for child relocation disputes. 1/n

The 10 Commandments of Cross-examination

Nrm is a scam It’s a group of people who don’t have Ugandans at heart ❤️

Elisha Ongoya: I have reflected on a number of unjust trials in human history. The trial of Sir Thomas Moore, Socrates and Jesus Christ. One element characterizes these trials: they are trials carried out with predetermined outcomes. Those taken through the trials are taken through the motions for the sake of it. The motions that the first petitioner was taken through at the National Assembly and the Senate of Kenya passed the test of malicious compliance.
