Uganda is an interesting country. We recently enacted a law criminalising foreign interference in our Government policy (a.k.a protection of sovereignty) and no sooner had the ink dried on the paper of the statute books than we started discussing whether a person that is both a Ugandan and a foreigner (dual citizen ) should be at the helm of the Ministry of Interior that is supposed to enforce the law! One of our favourite delicacies is called KATOGO. It is prepared by mixing different foods in the same pan.

anita among's greatest sin is not the misappropriation of public funds it is the public consumption of 'em the vulgar display of accumulation the transformation of corruption from a concealed vice into a performative lifestyle those who've been around know how deeply filthy and compromised the entire kampala establishment has always been hers is not an isolated moral collapse it is simply corruption stripped of discretion and that is what the establishment cannot forgive her impendin' downfall will not signal the end of corruption or the beginnin' of an actual, serious fight against it it'll instead serve as a warnin' to newcomers to return to the good ol' doctrine that has governed the system for decades: steal quietly embezzle intelligently loot modestly steal gavi funds, but drive a passo, not a rolls royce or mercedes benz grab temangalo land, but build a modest house, not a 100-bedroom arcade fleece chogm money, but don't construct a hospital and immortalize our names on the wards buy junk helicopters, but don't acquire prime property across kampala alone, because we also want access to 'em in other words: be like us, naye totulabisa participate in the system, but do not expose the scale of greed behind it because the establishment has never truly been offended by corruption itself it is offended when greed becomes too visible, too concentrated, too arrogant when one person begins to consume publicly what was historically distributed quietly among the few, morality becomes selective not a principled rejection of theft, but an internal quarrel over proportions, visibility and access to privilege anjagala ansange e bukunja 👋

Happy World Book Day! Books have saved my life in so many ways. From simple escapism, to giving me hope again, to teaching me and helping me find my path. To giving me immense joy and helping me travel to unknown worlds. One of the greatest gifts to mankind.

an eldest daughter once said being the firstborn means you’re automatically irritated by incompetence. not because you’re harsh, but because you were never given the room to be incompetent yourself. the daughters who know… know.

The Protection of Sovereignty Bill is before Parliament. Its stated concern, foreign interference in government policy, foreign aid that carries influence, and the use of online platforms to spread misinformation, is a concern worth addressing. The legal problem is that the Bill goes well beyond that concern. The Bill defines "foreigner" to include Ugandan citizens residing outside Uganda, and then adds a further category of any person, institution or body whom the Minister may declare to be a foreigner by statutory instrument. That is not regulation. It is re-description. It takes belonging, which the Constitution has already settled, and places it within reach of ordinary legislation and ministerial discretion. Not just a drafting concern, this is a question about what kind of economy Uganda is building and for whom. Clauses 25 and 26 place banks and payment providers inside the Bill's enforcement structure, requiring them to determine who qualifies as an agent of a foreigner before releasing funds. In practice, banks respond to that kind of legal uncertainty by escalating documentation requirements and delaying transactions. The cost lands on the Ugandan woman in Dubai sending money home. On the startup receiving working capital from a parent company abroad. On the climate project structured the way carbon markets must be structured to function. FITSPA, ISPAU, ADEC-U, and CMAU each represent sectors whose capital architecture is cross-border by necessity. Uganda Communications Commission data shows 45.7 million active mobile subscriptions and 35.6 million mobile money subscriptions as of Q3 2025. These are not marginal sectors. They are the economy's operating layer. Sovereignty located in the people, as Article 1 requires, means preserving the conditions under which people can work, transact, invest and organize. A Bill that burdens those conditions beyond what is constitutionally necessary does not protect sovereignty. It narrows it. Parliament should be pressed to answer not only what this Bill prevents, but what it replaces, and who bears the cost while it waits for an answer.

Ugandan Banks Reject Sovereignty Bill, Cite Seven Grounds Ugandan banks, led by @ugbankers Executive Director Wilbrod Owor in a submission to the Attorney General, have opposed the Sovereignty Bill 2026, warning its sweeping provisions could deter foreign investment, disrupt credit growth, and undermine financial stability through foreign funding limits, regulatory overlap, and broad “agent of foreigner” definitions.

We are all foreign agents We study foreign education Use foreign financial system Worship foreign dieties/gods Bow to foreign legal system Use foreign communication platforms Express ourselves in foreign languages Copy foreign policies Take foreign medicine Hold foreign burials

To try. To attempt. To pursue. To work towards whatever it may be. To put hands around this life, and have it.

Oh’to be disgustingly educated. To have a degree with your name on it. To enter rooms & raise the standard. To know your stuff & to know it well. To have knowledge nobody can take from you. Such a big flex. & most importantly, to be in alignment with God…

We’ve endured bad healthcare, unreliable power. Spare us torture "But we need to remember Uganda is for every Ugandan. No one wants to have their rights violated. You may be wielding power and you have everything you need and want. When you fall ill, you do not have to go to Mulago. But think of Ugandans who are grieving. Think of parents who have lost their sons and daughters. People are angry. That is why government officials get in trouble and celebrations erupt on social media," writes @kazbuk bit.ly/4vkYZFP #MonitorUpdates

still so many first times to look forward to.
