Wamma Balimwezo, don't sit in it! And going by what is in papers these days,ebya Witchcraft mwebili nabyo; 😉😄! But on a serious note, why should Balimwezo sit in a Chair people have sat it in for 50 years? BTW, refurbished or not? Dirty as it looks? Why not go buy simple, CLEAN, KUBBIRI-Chair and discard those 'Colonial relics like the wigs we see around? What for?

BREAKING🚨: Public reacts as Balimwezo rejects ‘old fashioned’ Lord Mayor’s chair’. The ornate wooden chair, featuring deep burgundy tufted leather and intricate carvings was previously used by former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago for 15 years, as well as several predecessors.  Barely two days after being sworn in as the Kampala Lord Mayor, Eng. Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo is already facing backlash  for declining to use the ceremonial Lord Mayor’s chair that has been in service for nearly 50 years.  The decision, announced shortly after his swearing-in on May 20, 2026, prompted criticism from citizens and commentators, who accused him of superstition, disrespect for tradition, and unnecessary extravagance. Balimwezo cited the chair’s age as his reason for rejection.  The ornate wooden chair, featuring deep burgundy tufted leather and intricate carvings including the inscription “VIS UNITA FORTIOR,” was previously used by former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago for 15 years, as well as several predecessors.  The Lord Mayor reportedly requested that the Kampala Capital City Authority procure a new chair for him.

The Department of State has designated Tanzanian Police Force (TPF) Senior Assistant Commissioner Faustine Jackson Mafwele under Section 7031(c) based on credible information that he was involved in gross violations of human rights. One year ago, members of the TPF detained, tortured, and sexually assaulted Ugandan @AAgather & Kenyan @bonifacemwangi, who were in Dar es Salaam to observe the judicial trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu. The designation prohibits Mafwele from entering the United States. The public designation is made under Section 7031(c) of the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026 (Div. F, P.L. 119-75). state.gov/releases/offic…

@DailyMonitor Why should he call on the CDF? Corruption cases should be dealt with by the IGG or other anti corrupt bodies. If we go on like this, we might have a military state which can blossom sometimes but can also be disastrous! Time will tell

UPDATE: Outgoing State Minister for Foreign Affairs (Regional Cooperation) John Mulimba has called on Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to establish a secure office where MPs and other individuals can safely provide information related to corruption allegations in the ongoing probe involving former Speaker Anita Among. Mulimba also called for a probe into the NRM Secretariat, alleging that some officials used cash to bribe voters during the recent polls. #MonitorUpdates 📹: @BuseinSamilu

The M7 family has been harassing lawyers who don’t agree with their politics or represent their political rivals. This family jailed me for that reason and their intolerance has become bolder over the years. I am not surprised by MK’s threatening AAA’s lawyers. ABSURD.

According to Uganda’s National Order of Precedence, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) is listed at No. 27. My question is: since when did the CDF acquire the authority to order the arrest of a person who heads one of the government’s armed forces or security institutions? Since when? Is this power provided for in law, or are we witnessing a coup in realty? 🤔🤔

Gov’t keeps giving out tax payers’ money to private companies, to the benefit of the individual owners and not the citizens; *Inspire Africa coffee factory in Ntungamo-180 billion shs. *DEI Biopharma-724 billion. *Atiak sugar factory-668 billion. *Roko-263 billion. In the proposed budget FY 2026/2027, Gov’t plans to add these entities more money. If this isn’t theft, I don’t know what is! #KeepingTheGovtInCheck

In some other news, things got heated at the Kadongokamu meeting when Mzee Ssebata broke down in tears and walked out, hurt by Eddy Kenzo’s “failures” comment. Did he have a point, or did he just take Kenzo the wrong way?

Dear @GodwinTOKO no reason to forego Kiira EV for this to work. Both are important. Appropriate technology for agriculture and for cottage industries supporting agriculture are open pathways for farmers to pursue and there is funding available for these processes including tax exemption to lower entry
TOKO@GodwinTOKO

Habibi, if I were in charge of govt, I’d disband the vanity fair called @KiiraMotors, get in touch with the company producing these simple tractors from China, and redirect the funds from Kiira EV, and all funds from PDM into mass-producing these. Then sell them to Ugandan farmers at a very affordable price - cheaper than a boda - to make them available, & affordable to as many farmers as possible. For an agricultural nation already earning billions of dollars from coffee exports, these things, in hands of hundreds of tens or hundreds of thousands of our farmers would see our exports skyrocket within a decade. If done well, Ugandans would make a lot of money in exports, and many more people would see reason to get into Agriculture - where we have a competitive advantage in the region. A whole department at @Makerere’s CEDAT would be dedicated to studying them. Every malfunction would be studied for months to improve them, and we’d invest in making their production ever cheaper. We’d even study different agricultural products and how to make them best adapted to their production. Rice, Matooke, cotton, sugar cane etc. We’d also improve them based on terrain, one model would be great for the hills of Kapchorwa, another for the dry areas of Karamoja, another for the cold hills of Kabale. With time, we’d be exporting these to Kenya, Tanzania, DRC etc and earning extra billions in Forex in addition to agricultural exports. In twenty or so years, we’d have the money, expertise, and technical knowledge to make bigger tractors, even the kind adapted for making our roads, and building serious projects in Uganda. Who knows, maybe we can then get to a point of making electric buses from Scratch in 50 years when we can ably compete with Isuzu, Scania, and others. After all, every single car company started very small - something Kiira EV wants us to believe it will not do, then compete even when almost all Auditor General reports show it is nothing but a thorn on the side of taxpayers. A big, white elephant.

I also have an entire design for how to declutter our digital spaces. Naye ntya idea theft because someone would build generational wealth with it. Some people have dared to get close to it, but it has always fail becuase their ideas come from just hunger and not the love for Uganda.

Businge Conan Daniel@cbusinge·
Prof. Baryamureeba, Prof. Lawrence Muganga’s argument is both timely and necessary. Please pay attention to Prof. Muganga’s piece. He is not simply advocating for devices—he is advocating for a complete shift in how we prepare Uganda for the future economy. From Limitation Thinking to Possibility Thinking @ReachDrMuganga is challenging something deeper: Should national policy be designed around constraints—or around the future we want to build? Globally, countries that transformed their education systems did not wait for perfect conditions. They used innovation to overcome constraints. •Rwanda → solar-powered smart classrooms •India → low-cost tablets and digital public infrastructure •Estonia → fully digitized education ecosystem Prof. Muganga’s position aligns with this global evidence: You don’t delay the future because of today’s limitations—you design around them. Also note: Education Must Align with Economic Ambition The $500 billion GDP vision is not theoretical—it demands a digitally capable workforce. This is exactly Muganga’s point: •You cannot build a modern economy with an analog education system •You cannot compete globally if students meet technology only at university level Data is clear: •Over 90% of jobs now require digital skills •Countries investing early in digital education see faster innovation and productivity growth So when Muganga pushes for early digital access, he is aligning education with: Uganda’s economic future—not just its current classroom realities. You suggest prioritizing teachers and labs instead of devices. But Muganga’s philosophy rejects this binary completely: Technology does not replace teachers—it amplifies them. Global research shows: •Teachers with digital tools deliver better learning outcomes •Students learn faster with interactive, tech-enabled environments Muganga is pushing for: •Empowered teachers •Digitally enabled classrooms •Practical, skills-based learning Not one at the expense of the other. From Risk Avoidance to Systems Design The fear of theft and misuse is real—but not unique to Uganda. Muganga’s approach implies: •Structured rollout (schools vs individuals) •Device tracking and management systems •Community accountability models •Solar and shared infrastructure solutions In other words: Policy should solve risks—not retreat from opportunity because of them This is where the real difference lies: •Prof. Baryamureeba’s view reflects a protectionist, constraint-based mindset •Prof. Muganga represents a forward-thinking, systems-transformational mindset Prof. Muganga is not ignoring Uganda’s realities—he is refusing to let those realities define Uganda’s future. Because the real question is not: “Can we afford to give every child access to technology?” The real question is: “Can we afford not to?”

Outdated ... We just need good teachers and laboratories in all schools. Ugandans have problems charging phones and so how will they charge laptops or keep them safely in rural areas? More than 50% would be stolen in the first year. Do research and propose practical solutions.
