April Fool's Day!

Have you seen the classrooms you want to put laptops in?

Just so you know, a kg of beef is still 20k but anyway Happy Eid Mubarak y'all.

Nationals from the countries and regions listed above are not required to obtain a visa prior to travelling to Uganda, in accordance with Uganda’s visa exemption arrangements. This provision facilitates smoother travel and reflects Uganda’s continued commitment to promoting regional integration, tourism, trade, and people-to-people connectivity. #OpenGovUg #VisitUganda #ExploreUganda

According to @AndrewMwenda, the Speaker of @Parliament_Ug has the entire @JudiciaryUG in her grip & the chance of winning a court case against her is ZERO. Mwenda say she employs children of judicial officers - in parliament - which compromises judges. #UgandaJudiciaryExhibition

If you still don’t understand what people mean when they say “toxic empathy,” maybe this picture can help. Here we have a liberal white woman marching down the streets of NYC, carrying a sign mourning the recently slain dictator Ali Khamenei, a man who supported marriage to 9-year-olds, mandated hijab under threat of arrest and flogging, oversaw the punishment of women who removed their headscarves in protest, and imprisoned female activists for decades. In her other hand, she holds a sign that says “Globalize the intifada,” as in, “Bring these draconian laws to my own backyard.” The regime she’s defending would imprison or kill her for standing on that street corner with that sign, especially with her head uncovered. Don’t they make Darwin Awards for this crap?

Shake shake the mango tree. Who's next?

Ugandans with ordinary passports will be able to travel to South Africa Visa-free once the two countries sign a bilateral agreement, the Uganda Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced. bit.ly/4qVzXJN #MonitorUpdates

She’s “violating my human rights” 😂

We will leave issues of the generals to the generals. LOL

Africa is just a hard paper.

79 cars? At that point you don’t need a garage, you need a Ministry of Transport!

Chris Baryomunsi is most likely speaking for a chunk of the old guard who have been Museveni loyalists but refuse to be bequeathed like cattle to his capricious son. I would be shocked if, in private, he doesn’t get a pat on the back from people like Otafire, Mattia Kasaija and others. Soon the army might also get its own voice of defiance. Hold tight, the next few months are going to be bumpy. Katandika butandisi

Obote II era road blocks are back in full swing in Uganda. Only the language has changed. Last night at Kyetume after the rail crossing in Mukono, army @MODVA_UPDF soldiers were searching each car and shinimg torches into the faces of occupants. @HEBobiwine is a treasure hunt!

In less than two weeks Chris Baryomunsi has moved from mocking Besigye's health and being callous to Winnie Byanyima to fighting for his future political survival on social media. Let's see how his arrogance gets him out of this.

We are waking up on that Peter Pan Syndrome to try again today.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details. It is the degree to which enormously wealthy and powerful people live by their own rules — and continue to get away with it. It’s a club where the rules and the law don't apply. And you’re not in it.

Today in COSASE, I asked Uganda Airlines CEO Jennifer Bamuturaki to account for $12,750 (about shs 50m) per diem that she requisitioned for as Acting CEO last year in June to travel to different countries. She didn't travel, but she didn't refund the money. This was her response!
