This young man has milled AI generated publications and you are all over comparing him to professors. Such an academic dishonesty, this is dangerous!

@kakaadj_k @ivaan256 @Makerere_Medics @Makerere @IAmTheOlum @DrBalukuJoseph @ACCESS_UG @Asadthegeek @eddympuuga @agnmu_Ug @brucekirenga @dr_bongomin @SemitalaFred @AtukundaAnneR @ps_lukwago This is why this is special. I have worked with this young man and his team. They visited @ACCESS_UG before they went to @YaleMed . They are just brilliant and hard working. His mentors provide opportunities for him. Even if they were all case reports, 31 is excellent!👌

🔥Meet @ivaan256 who scooped the Distinguished Research Award @Makerere_Medics with 31 publications before his MBChB grad! 🔥How do you expect him to work for free in his internship? NB: @Makerere requires 8 publications for professorship. #PayAllMedicalInterns @IAmTheOlum

@rkalyes1 @ivaan256 @Makerere_Medics @Makerere @IAmTheOlum @DrBalukuJoseph @ACCESS_UG @Asadthegeek @eddympuuga @agnmu_Ug @brucekirenga @dr_bongomin @SemitalaFred @AtukundaAnneR @ps_lukwago Dr Kalyesubula, in academia you know the danger of retraction or academic dishonesty to upcoming talents. Some may realise when it's late When one sees 20+ publications from undergrad student in less than two years, you have to reflect. Science can't be rushed.

@kakaadj_k @ivaan256 @Makerere_Medics @Makerere @IAmTheOlum @DrBalukuJoseph @ACCESS_UG @Asadthegeek @eddympuuga @agnmu_Ug @brucekirenga @dr_bongomin @SemitalaFred @AtukundaAnneR @ps_lukwago Now you're a nitpicker!

But what I looked at is the content, field and time vs number. Unfortunately academic dishonesty is becoming rampant through publications manipulation. Guide the students 🙏

Just get to pubmet. I even included part of his work. Let me get you started here. Analyze and come back with evidence! The challenge is that Ugandans are so used to mediocrity that they can't recognize pure genius! 👇 Here check! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Pitua+iv…

Let me give you some few examples. A syndicate of 6 plus connive to include their names in every publications. Utilise case reports. Publish systematic review protocols. Hijack the peer review process etc.

@kakaadj_k @ivaan256 @Makerere_Medics @Makerere @IAmTheOlum @DrBalukuJoseph @ACCESS_UG @Asadthegeek @eddympuuga @agnmu_Ug @brucekirenga @dr_bongomin @SemitalaFred @AtukundaAnneR @ps_lukwago These are 31 peer reviewed publications for an undergraduate medical student. Even if he had only one publication in a news paper- it would be a big deal. Why are you so lazy? Just Google him, AI him or pubmed him.

@ubctvuganda This is a matter of national security. Having dual citizens to hold sensitive ministerial positions can advance foreign interest. National Sovereignty will be at stake.

Lucy Nakyobe: 78 newly appointed Cabinet members are present & ready to take oath. One is indisposed. The four others, as guided by the President, were engaged over the weekend by myself & the Solicitor General. A brief has been submitted for further guidance from the President.

@mukulaa If they are everytime reminded about Tutsi genocide and museums filled with historic tribal narrative of killings, has the nation really risen above tribal and ethnicity?

Rwanda has shown that a nation can rise above tribal and ethnic divisions to build a shared identity founded on unity, dignity, and purpose. One people, one nation. The lessons of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi remind us that hatred must never prevail again. #Rwanda #Unity #NeverAgain

@baryamureeba @PaulKagame That makes them very dangerous officers for position of influence and sensitive ministry like internal affair

Why do you think Pres. @PaulKagame left his job in Uganda to return to Rwanda? Even comrades like Gen. Fred Rwigema died trying to liberate Rwanda. In short, Ugandans in the category of Banyarwanda can return to Rwanda and be accepted without having to apply for citizenship. For Dr. Muganga needed a passport to study in Canada which the Ugandan government denied him.

@baryamureeba @KagutaMuseveni This is wrong to claim they were unfairly treated in Uganda and denied citizenship hence passport. How did he get government scholarship for his undergrad at Makerere? He is just a dealer and willing to deal with the highest bidder irrespective of the cost. Dishonest creature

Pres. @KagutaMuseveni and the late Pres. Nyerere know the history of Banyamulenge in Eastern DRC, who are being denied by the DRC government as non Congolese. Today I want to talk about the people we call Banyarwanda in the Ugandan constitution. Their (great) parents left the present day Rwanda many years ago, freeing political persecution from the then government of Rwanda. Many of these Banyarwanda made great contributions to the liberation struggles of 1979 and 1986. Some shed their blood for Uganda to be free. Later those who liberated Uganda like Pres. @PaulKagame and his colleagues engaged in the liberation struggle/war using Uganda as base and liberated Rwanda in 1994. Gen. @sejudav was one of the first UPDF soldiers to visit Rwanda after the liberation. He knows the state of Rwanda first hand after genocide. I don't think that Banyarwanda who decided to return to Rwanda in 1994 and thereafter were asked to apply for citizenship. Those who decided to stay in Uganda, remained Ugandan citizens. But somehow, we treated them differently. They were denied passports, etc and this is public knowledge. So when Ugandans like Dr. Muganga were denied passports to go and study in Canada, the Rwandan government gave them passports. Did Dr. Muganga first apply for citizenship in Rwanda to get a passport? I don't think so. But we forget their history so fast. Why would the government of Pres. Kagame who suffered the same discrimination not know how to help Ugandans of Rwandese origin who are denied their rights in Uganda? Most likely Dr. Muganga's parents and great parents were born in Uganda. Dr. Muganga was born in Uganda. Holding a Rwandese passport does not make him a dual citizen unless if we have forgotten their history. We should be asking him to renounce his Canadian citizenship, which he has done. Even the little gains we see is because the Bavandimwe directly organised themselves and engaged Pres. Museveni. So when Dr. Muganga goes to the grave of his parents and cries, the ordinary Ugandan thinks he is desperate for a Ministerial appointment. He is not. Some of these Ugandans lost their relatives during the genocide of 1993-94 in Rwanda. This discrimination in parliament is traumatic and it brings back those memories of even being denied passports in Uganda and now being persecuted for getting a passport from Rwanda to enable him to study in Canada. If you were him what would you have done? I think you would have gotten that passport to go and study in Canada. It because of that decision that he is making a contribution to Uganda; the passport enabled him to study in Canada. If he didn't apply for citizenship before getting the Rwandese passport that expired, what do you want him to renounce? Parliamentary Committee on Appointments should publicly apologize for traumatising these Ugandans of Rwandese origin. We should never forget history& circumstances like those that made Dr. Muganga get a Rwandese passport just to access education in Canada. The circumstances necessitated it. Read the preamble of our Ugandan constitution. So why are we bent on asking him to renounce Rwandese Citizenship on the basis of a passport. In normal circumstances you cannot get a passport of the country before you become a citizen, but we know that this was not the case in the case of Dr. Muganga. Dr. Muganda should be asked to renounce Canadian citizenship, which he has done but not Rwandan, which he doesn't have. Dr. Muganga is a Uganda with full rights including being appointed and serving as a Minister. Pres. Museveni shouldn't undermine the gains he has achieved with Bavandimwe and declined to appoint Dr. Muganga minister. As a country we need to end marginalisation of minorities. The Banyarwanda born and living in Uganda are Ugandans like any one of us. So it is not too late for the Parliament of Uganda to do the right thing, i.e. approve the appointment of Dr. Muganga as Minister of State for Internal Affairs.

@SamsonMKasumba To day, the average age of nobel price winners is 69. Average time to produce innovation such as therapeutics from initial idea is 15 years, the age of Ugandan at the time they get their PhD is 40-45. No wonder we have no product or innovations. We retire them before their peak.

Just been to Makerere to emcee the event when a 60 year old professor of mathematics is retiring! You retire what is out of use. No? How can we retire a professor of mathematics at just 60? Do we have many around any way? Mango is a super fine head. Our public service regulations are extremely reckless. You retire a university professor? 60 a university professor is just hotting his prime and at his most useful age to deliver using gained experience and you retire him or her? Shame on us.

@OkothThomas3 @SamsonMKasumba Do you understand how knowledge circulate in academia?

@SamsonMKasumba I don’t see any problem with him retiring at 60! He can venture into other things not just teaching.Btw he doesn’t have to be in public service to mentor someone.

@YusufSerunkuma This is also good to dehorn the so called professor. He has been on rampage with disastrous influence on our education policies.

We ought to be sympathetic to Dr Muganga: He is a victim of Museveni’s mistakes – esp. shocking people with appointments. Had he alerted him early, Muganga would have taken care of these legal barriers. Or had M7 consulted with a team, they would have advised him on some of these legal hurdles. Now, sadly, Museveni is using him as demonstration that parliament is independent. Bse he could make that phone-call if he wanted to.

@FrankGashumba @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni @Parliament_Ug @JackieAkampwera @jbkabagambe @CouncilforA @Kayera256 @pmutoni848 @MuzeeyiNgarambe Who gives this foolish man avenue to spew nonsense?

We're Ugandans 💯 %. @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni @Parliament_Ug @JackieAkampwera @jbkabagambe @CouncilforA @Kayera256 @pmutoni848 @MuzeeyiNgarambe

@SimonKaggwaNjal @ReachDrMuganga His advocacy is actually a disaster to our education system. Looks like he is foreign agent.

Dear brother @ReachDrMuganga, there is more to raise your well earned profile than this little ministerial position. Please stop sulking openly, pick up your pieces and do what you do best. You’re already a star in transformative education advocacy. Let’s put all efforts here. Bakuwabya!

@YusufSerunkuma They always get lost when they start comparing, this vs that, these vs those, bla bla.... Dr should learn how to communicate and negotiate without belittling other government programs. They are making these things around them yet even nurses, pharmacists etc are also affected.

I agree, Intern doctors should be ranked above DEI Pharma, Atiak Sugar, Lubowa, and Inspire Coffee – which have and continue to consume billions. While those other are (unnecessary) promises for the future, intern doctors are presently real in the lives of ordinary Ugandans. As has been said plenty of times, it is not uncommon to find a public medical facility manned entirely by interns. Their labor cannot to be for free. In fact, interns is the language of exploitation. These are actual doctors – only new in the field. Thanks Dr Obuku (@ekwaroobuku)

@SpireJim These people think governance only requires noise and bootlicking, no wonder non of their works and decisions are evidence-based but spewing emotional outburst....

Minisita after a long day of work on social media

@SarahBireete @Thomas_Tayebwa His PhD needs to be investigated. That temperament is off a person he claims to be.

Dr. Lawrence Muganga should publicly apologize to the Deputy Speaker for his utterances and personal attacks @Thomas_Tayebwa. The Deputy Speaker conducts himself with utmost humility 👇 Full list: What immigration told Parliament about ministers monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…

@Danny199031 @WANYERA_ @ntvuganda @ReachDrMuganga @Parliament_Ug Very bad heart

@kakaadj_k @WANYERA_ @ntvuganda @ReachDrMuganga @Parliament_Ug All of them are,how do you think they initiate genocides?

After watching this @ntvuganda video,I can say that @ReachDrMuganga is the new Minister for Internal Affairs.This guy has hustled his way to the top,Dr Muganga we got your back @Parliament_Ug & Tayebwa should revisit their decision of saying that u a Rwanda #PayAllMedicalInterns

@ponton_alex UK has never imposed travel ban or tough quarantine bse of Ebola. But they could perform screening at airports for obvious symptoms.

Anyone has been to Europe (specifically France or the UK) from Uganda since Ebola started? How was it? I had a trip planned but if it means I'll be quarantined (without symptoms off course), I'd rather reschedule it...

@SimonKaggwaNjal And then end up reshuffled in few years to come.

Would you renounce your citizenship abroad for a ministerial job in Uganda?
