We all agree this has been one of the best leaders of the opposition in parliament since time immemorial.

THIS IS THE VALUE OF 100M FROM KYANKWANZI TO PASS THE SOVEREIGNTY BILL TOMORROW. BYONA MUBIKORE TWAGALA DR FORMS MUBWANGU

Ugandan political cartoonist Spire won the Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award for his willingness to stand up to, and mock, the forever presidency of Yoweri Museveni.

Today I have accepted that the Leader of Opposition is indeed for the people, hon. Joel Senyonyi was single handedly battling against the numerous NRM MPs with the backing of the speaker, raising multiple objections against the Sovereignty bill, I know it will definitely be passed since the opposition have no numbers but we shall always remember your efforts sir.🙏

Interacted this morning with Mr. Baliza Emmanuel, the father of Baliza William, a young man who was abducted on 10th February and has been missing since. On that day, armed operatives picked him up in a drone, which he says was full of guns, pliers, solido wires, iron bars, etc. He was asked to reveal the whereabouts of his son, or else he faces consequences. He did and was told the young man was posting anti-government content on tiktok. He has since moved everywhere looking for the son without success! #FreeUgandaNow

We thank @KenRoth, former HRW chief, for receiving a copy of my book "Normal Torture" that documents the Human Rights violations by the M7 dictatorship. He confirms that Western governments are ignoring it, but ppl in the West see what's going on. Weebale nyo Kenneth!

President Of The Republic Of Uganda 🇺🇬

RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race. After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament. I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker. I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years. I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same. I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me. In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised. FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY. ANITA ANNET AMONG

Grateful to the thousands of comrades across the political divide who have attended the burial of Mrs. Edith Mufumbiro, wife to comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro Alex, this afternoon in Luuka District. While the regime rendered comrade Waiswa unable to lay his wife to rest by denying him bail yesterday, it is heartening that the rest of you comrades showed up to stand in solidarity with his and the late Edith's families in this trying moment. I have addressed the mourners virtually and expressed my condolences. May Edith's soul rest in perfect peace.

Ahead of Armenia’s June elections, Prime Minister Pashinyan — backed by the EU — is preventing his main opponent, Samvel Karapetyan, from campaigning. Armenians deserve a free and fair vote.

Amen 🙏

This week on Monday 13th April, Hon Hellen Nakimuli made these remarks during prayers to mark the Kabaka’s 71st birthday at the Orthodox Church in Namungoona. Thank you for always speaking out whenever you had the opportunity.

@MathiasMpuuga She didn't steal from the poor,not the sick ,like mpuuga did .

What a pity, Hon. Hellen Nakimuli! The news of the passing of Hon. Hellen Nakimuli, hitherto the Kalangala Woman MP, is not only shocking but devastating. Young, energetic, and hardworking, with a zeal and determination to better the lives of the people of the Ssese Islands. Those of us who followed her during the time she served as a Community Development Officer (CDO) in Bukebe, Bufumira, and Mazinga sub-counties of Kalangala District saw a promising leader. When she started nursing ambitions of joining politics at the national level, we did not hesitate; we encouraged and supported her to join Parliament in 2021. She served in my cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Fisheries and was very outspoken on issues concerning fishing communities and safety on the lakes. She was peaceful and never acrimonious or vengeful. We thank the Almighty Lord for her life and the many talents she shared with us as a leader and a sportswoman. Deep commiserations to the family of Owek. Rev. Fr Christopher Walusimbi, her father; the Orthodox Faith that she professed; and the people of Ssese whom she served as MP. Eternal repose, Hellen.

@AnitahAmong You announce her as who,After stealing money from the sick.Arent you ashamed

Honourable colleagues, it is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of our esteemed colleague, the Woman Member of Parliament for Kalangala and Shadow Minister for Information, Hon. Hellen Nakimuli. Words are insufficient to convey the shock we are experiencing at this moment, and we pray that the Lord Almighty sustains her family, friends, and all of us during this challenging time.

Wishing a blessed Easter filled with faith and hope.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: It was an honor to reunite with Bobi Wine, whose tireless pursuit of a free, democratic Uganda has inspired millions around the world. His leadership of a nonviolent struggle to end Uganda's crackdown on political opposition groups and strengthen human rights provides important guideposts for the US-Uganda partnership.

Uganda’s main opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi has left the country after two months in hiding following the disputed presidential and parliamentary polls held on Jan. 15 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Unfortunately we shall continue to put up with this mess until we collectively say ENOUGH. Sympathies to all citizens who have yet again been affected by this preventable situation. #FreeUgandaNow
