I have received numerous complaints from young people across different sectors who report that their employers & bosses have denied them permission to travel to their respective villages to vote for leaders of their choice. This practice is unlawful and must stop. Under the Election Offences Act, every employer is legally required to allow an employee who is a registered voter reasonable time to go and vote on polling day. Employers are not permitted to refuse this time, deduct wages, threaten workers, or impose any form of punishment for exercising the right to vote. Denying an employee the opportunity to vote amounts to illegal obstruction of a voter, which is itself an offence under the law. Please note that the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda guarantees every citizen the right to vote once they are registered and have attained the age of 18 years. This is a fundamental democratic right that cannot be taken away or interfered with by any employer or boss, regardless of the nature of the workplace or employment arrangements. Employers and bosses are therefore reminded of their legal obligation to respect the electoral rights of their employees. Any attempt to prevent workers from voting undermines democracy and exposes the employer to legal consequences. Affected workers are encouraged to report such incidents to the @UgandaEC or other relevant authorities so that appropriate action can be taken. Protecting the right to vote is a shared responsibility, and no Ugandan should be intimidated or prevented from participating in the democratic process.

I have been there.... AR, welcome to the club.

I totally agree with you, Hon. Chief Justice — and here is why. The first Head of the Anti‑Corruption Court was Justice John Bosco Katutsi. He presided over major cases: Teddy S. Cheeye for embezzling 120 million; Chandi Jamwa for causing financial loss of 3 billion; and Geoffrey Onegi Obel, then Chairman of the NSSF Board, for causing financial loss of 8 billion. In the Onegi Obel case, the prosecution (IGG) repeatedly failed to appear, prompting Justice Katutsi’s famous remark: “This court is tired of trying tilapias when crocodiles are left swimming.” Justice Katutsi is now retired, and since then, apart from the pension cases, I cannot recall any other major corruption matter of national significance being concluded by the Court. My Experience Reporting Corruption When I first considered reporting corruption, a mutual friend connected me to someone at @AntiGraft_SH, who then linked me to one of their officers. Informally, I submitted three cases with documentary evidence: Approximately 29.5 billion Approximately 22.7 billion Approximately 3.5 billion All this was done via WhatsApp, and the exchanges still exist. I waited for months, only to be told they could not handle the cases at that time. Meanwhile, I kept seeing their posts on X about arrests for 1 million, 2 million (upcountry) and I would occasionally comment about the “sharks” I had already reported. Reporting to the IGG I continued digging and strengthened my evidence. Confident in the law and the documents I had gathered, I formally reported the cases to @IGGUganda on 22 November 2022. I did not report to a junior officer; I went directly to one of the Deputy IGGs and made a protected disclosure under the Whistleblowers Protection Act, 2010. We discussed the cases for over an hour, and she assured me of action. For over three months we exchanged messages — only for me to later receive a letter from her that not only exposed me as a whistleblower but also accused me of being insubordinate because I had reported impropriety. At that point, I gave up on the IGG. Turning to CID In my circles, no one even mentioned @CID1_UG. It was as if people had lost confidence in reporting cases to CID. But the Whistleblowers Act also allows reporting to @Parliament_Ug, and some police colleagues told me CID had a new Director who was doing a good job. So in May 2023, I rewrote my letter and addressed it directly to the Director, @Tom_Magambo — not to any police station or CID section. We did not have any discussion, which I understood; he did not know me, unlike the Deputy IGG who knew both me. He simply forwarded directed me to the appropriate office to leave the complaint. To their credit, CID acted. They requested procurement files from the Ministry, interviewed several officers, and later wrote to @OAG_Uganda requesting a forensic audit. At that point, I contacted Forensic Audit Team to clarify aspects of my report and met with them. After that, I do not know what happened the report from @OAG_Uganda. CID later informed me that the file had been with the @ODPPUGANDA for a long time and advised me to write to the DPP for an update. I did so in January 2025.To this day — January 2026 — I have never received a response. WHAT MAKES IT WORSE IS THAT THE CIVIL SERVANTS WHO WOULD WANT TO REPORT CANNOT BECAUSE NOTHING WILL COME OF THEIR EFFORTS AND YET THEY WILL BE TRUMPLED LIKE ONE IS MAKING "TONTO". Conclusion So, Hon. Chief Justice of @JudiciaryUG, when you analyse this sequence of events, it becomes clear why civil servants comfortably build multi‑billion‑shilling mansions. The system does not meaningfully pursue the “crocodiles,” and those who try to expose them are left unprotected, unheard, and eventually discouraged. @mkainerugaba @NRMOnline @Parliament_Ug @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni

Dear Mr. @ProfNawangwe , Vice Chancellor of Makerere University, I write this letter not just as a Ugandan aggrieved clergy, but as a member of a university community that has been deeply impacted by your decision to close down the @Makerere Community Church. This church, which has served and nourished countless souls on this campus since 1999, has been a place of spiritual growth, fellowship, and solace for many students, staff, and their families. This Christmas, for the first time in many years, we missed the joy and fellowship that comes with the celebration of Christ's birth. There were no carols to sing. No Christmas service to attend. No sermons to hear that would uplift our spirits and bring us closer to Christ. Instead, many of us found ourselves feeling empty and spiritually abandoned. For us, the Makerere Community Church was not just a building; it was a home. A place where we found purpose, direction, and a sense of belonging. Mr. Nawangwe, I must respectfully remind you that the Church of Christ is not just a social gathering—it is the body of believers that Jesus Himself established. By shutting down a church that has been a cornerstone of this community for decades, you are, knowingly or unknowingly, acting in opposition to the very Word of God. In the Bible, we see Saul, who once persecuted Christians, thinking he was doing what was right. But in Acts 9:4, Jesus asked him, *“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”* Saul’s blindness in that moment was not just physical but spiritual. It was only when he realized the magnitude of his actions that he turned from his ways and began serving the very church he once sought to destroy. In the same way, I urge you to reflect on your actions. If you truly understand the weight of what you are doing, I implore you to reconsider. The closing of the Makerere Community Church is an attack on the religious freedoms guaranteed in Uganda’s constitution. Uganda, as a democratic country, is founded on the principles of freedom of worship for all its citizens, regardless of their faith. This includes the Born Again Pentecostal community, which, according to the most recent census, makes up approximately 15% of Uganda's population. These are people who have a right to worship freely and without hindrance, including on the campus of Makerere University. You may not fully realize the profound impact this decision has had on the many students who call this church their spiritual home. But I ask you—how can you sleep at night knowing that your actions have caused such distress and division? How can you sleep knowing that you've silenced the voices of a community that has been faithfully worshipping at Makerere for years? Mr. Nawangwe, I urge you to reflect on the decision you've made. I ask you to reconsider the closure of Makerere Community Church, for it is not just a loss for the church, but a loss for all who cherish the freedom to worship. The Lord does not take kindly to the destruction of His Church (Matthew 16:18), and I pray that you will open your heart to understanding the offense that has been committed. May the Lord guide you, and may you choose the path of peace, justice, and freedom for all His people. Sincerely, Pr Martin Ssempa Founding Pastor Makerere Born Again Community Church
