And boom yesterday I said yes to the love of my life ❤️✨️😅

Thank you Chuck for asking. In Frame 1; I was someone born without a disability but when i went for immunization that’s when the entire story changed. I was immunized with a wrong medication which stayed in the leg and caused it not to grow like the other leg. In Frame 2;We went and spent 6months in Mulago hospital trying to balance the legs and it failed. In frame 3;We decided to go back home and start a new life style as a child with a disability. In frame 4; Am the proud person who has been with a disability for the last 25 years+ The cause of my disability was during the immunization process🙏

How I Became A person With A disability♿️ 📌I was born like any other normal child but at the age of 2 years when i was taken for immunization the doctor used an expired vaccine and he injected it into me. 📌I started feeling pain and i couldn’t walk my left leg became stagnant with growth as my right leg was growing normally, we went to Mulago Hospital for 6months plus as the doctors were trying to balance the two legs 🦵 📌But it was all in vein, we went back home but i had started crawling that’s when my daddy introduced me to using a stick to walk because i had to go school. 📌I went to Nursery,Primary,Secondary,Institute and University on my stick my daddy introduced me too till now. 📌After university Covid-19 came and since the mode of the day was about hygiene that is when i learnt how to make Liquid Soap along the way i got some challenges and thought about looking for a job in IT because that is the cause i did at campus(digital marketing) Mr @deejahn was/is mentoring in digital. 📌I applied somewhere and everything went on well but when the Human Resource got to know she was going to employ a person with a disability everything ended there, I was disappointed and asked myself why did i go to school even, 📌By then madam @fsnakazibwe was my customer i shared with her and she advised me to better stick to my business and glow it because the employment world think persons with disabilities can’t execute to the level of their companies. 📌From my conversation with her i started thinking about my fellow youth with disabilities who need helpers full time if they can’t employ me who can juggle around with out a help,for-example (those with visual impairment,hearing and some who use wheelchairs) 📌That is when i started thinking about young boys and girls with disabilities who are at the university who think that after campus we will get jobs if the employment space still has this negative attitude towards persons with disabilities. 📌I started sharing my empowerment skills with my fellow persons with disabilities and the community that believes in us and am proud that now am the Executive Director of a youth and disability led organization known as @TwezuuleF #DisabilityPrideMonth #Twezuule

The latest @AndrewMwenda article is a scary tale of Uganda’s reality today! Apparently, someone went to @KagutaMuseveni claiming he got a cure for diabetes & cancer, & while @elonmusk tried to give him $ 50 billion for it, he was patriotic enough to refuse. Now, the govt of Uganda will give him $ 1 billion for the project! Damn! The final paragraph is a scary summary of the state of Uganda today! independent.co.ug/when-old-age-s…

Natabi Fauzia, the wife to Don Sherrif, the personal assistant of @HEBobiwine for whom we filed a habeas corpus application, was brought to Kawempe CM after spending 35 days in illegal detention and charged with using a SIM card in another person’s name.

Meet Simon. In 2010, I found him on the streets at just 6 years old, passionately sharing my campaign flier—despite being deaf and non-verbal. With his father’s blessing, I took him in and supported his education at Kabasanda School for the Deaf and later Namirembe Vocational School, where he trained in carpentry. Today, Simon is sharpening his skills through apprenticeship—focused, disciplined, and ready to work. I’m sharing his journey in the hope that someone will give him an opportunity to prove himself.

Honored to have been recognised as a Leader in Courage and Innovation (2026) by the @Renew_Democracy in New York City last night. I dedicate this award to the Ugandan men and women who have been killed, unfairly detained, or disappeared in our collective pursuit for a better Uganda. Their sacrifices shall certainly pray off. I applaud my fellow Honorees: @AmbJohnBolton (US National Security Advisor 2018-19 and US Ambassador to the UN 2005-06); Ms. @cafreeland (Economic Advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Deputy Prime
Minister of Canada 2020-24); and @SenMarkKelly (US Senator for Arizona and NASA Astronaut 1996-2011) for their contribution to democratic causes. Thank you, RDI! Uganda shall be free!

Uganda’s proposed Sovereignty Bill is the ONLY law in the world openly attempting something this sweeping: it legally turns its own citizens abroad into “foreigners”. The Bill is explicit. A “foreigner” includes “Ugandan citizens residing abroad”. That single clause redraws the boundary of citizenship. It means diaspora money, relationships, and even family support can fall under foreign control rules. So the implications are not abstract. -A mother in Mbale receiving school fees from her son in London. -A boda boda rider in Gulu financed by a brother in Dubai. -A small shop in Mbarara stocked using capital sent from Boston. All could, in theory, fall under foreign influence rules. Then the net widens. The definition of an “agent of a foreigner” includes anyone “directly or indirectly… financed or subsidised” by a foreigner. Not directed. Not controlled. Simply funded. -A journalist paid by a locally registered outlet that receives donor support. -A researcher on a project with partial foreign grants. -An NGO worker whose salary traces back, however distantly, to external funding. All can be classified as “agents”. Clause 22 then imposes a hard ceiling: “a cap on foreign funding of approximately UGX 400 million within any twelve-month period”, beyond which ministerial approval is required. So: -A private hospital built with diaspora investment. -A school supported by an international foundation. -A construction firm using a foreign loan. Then comes the sharpest edge. -Clause 13 creates the offence of economic sabotage, criminalising anyone who “publishes information… that weakens or damages the economic system”. So: -A newspaper reporting a currency slide. -An analyst warning about debt stress. -A civil society group highlighting inflation pressures. Even if accurate, such reporting could fall foul of the law. Finally, Clause 5 prohibits activities that promote foreign interests “against the interests of Uganda”, a phrase the law does not define. Put together, these clauses do something unprecedented. -They do not just regulate foreign influence. -They redefine who is foreign. -They extend control from politics into everyday economic and social life. In most countries, including Ethiopia and Ethiopia, sovereignty laws manage outsiders. Here, Uganda redefined outsiders to include its citizens, basically rewriting the 1995 constitution. Of course it’s in the preparatory and consultation stage and could change for better - or WORSE!

The inspirational story of James Mulwana (RIP) Nearly every Ugandan has used a Nice pen, a plastic mug, or a jerrycan. The man who built this reality was the legendary James Mulwana, one of East Africa's finest business minds. Before the corporate boardrooms, rumors suggest he even worked as a bouncer at the famous Suzana nightclub in Nakulabye. Mulwana was an early hustler who initially ran a mail-order business exporting wooden combs to the UK. His major turning point came when his friend, Dr. William Kalema, convinced him that manufacturing was the future. This connection led him to partner with a British company to manufacture motor batteries right here in Kampala. From there, his vision expanded massively. He established what is now Nice House of Plastics, becoming the first to manufacture toothbrushes in Africa. He eventually took full ownership of Uganda Batteries Limited, and his plastic production diversified into tableware, packaging, and agricultural sprayers. His ambition did not stop at industrial manufacturing. In 1986, Mulwana started Jesa Mixed Farm with just 82 Friesian cows, later adding a fully-fledged milk processing plant in 1994. He also co-founded Nsimbe Estates to export cut flowers, proving his incredible versatility as an entrepreneur. Tragically, Uganda lost this business icon when he passed away on January 15, 2013, at the age of 76. However, unlike many local enterprises that unfortunately collapse after the founder's death, the Mulwana Group of Companies has thrived well into 2026. Under the leadership of his family, including his son Geoffrey and daughter Barbara, the empire has only grown stronger. Today, Jesa Farm Dairy is a dominant powerhouse across East Africa, operating a state-of-the-art plant that produces premium yoghurt, butter, and fresh milk. Nice House of Plastics and Uganda Batteries also remain absolute market leaders. Mulwana once credited his success to the contribution of many people, and his timeless legacy continues to employ and inspire thousands of Ugandans today. I hope this story taught you something 🤝 What is your favorite product from the Mulwana Group?
