You do not save fuel coasting in neutral, rather you are going to lose engine braking, power and the need to control the car. But what can I say, we learn the hard way. It's a lesson learned, he will never do it again.

@Rogue_Netizen @UgandanGods You could have been on the road for 20 years but only focusing on not knowing a thing about cars. We have people without cars but they are car enthusiasts and will know everything about cars.

Anguyo and his relatives, including his elderly mother, were detained and transported in a police pickup from Arua City to Kiboga, a long and uncomfortable journey. It's concerning they were treated this way, especially the elderly woman. It's valid to question why they weren't given more humane treatment, especially if others accused of serious crimes are handled differently. However the involvement of relatives might suggest Anguyo was in communication with them, possibly indicating they knew something about his activities or hideouts and this is just a reminder think about where you're from. Would you want your hardworking parents or relatives to go through such treatment? Nobody knows what happens in those dark places. This situation raises questions about the treatment of detainees and the role of local leaders in advocating for their constituents.

Uganda Prisons warder Moses Anguyo, accused of gunning down four people including the Deputy Officer-in-Charge at Kiboga Central Prisonhas been transferred back to Kiboga under tight security following his dramatic arrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Anguyo, who has been on the run since the February 23, 2026 shooting, was apprehended during a coordinated cross-border security operation, bringing an end to an intense manhunt that had raised alarm within security circles. Authorities confirm that the suspect is now under strict guard as he undergoes further management and processing in Kiboga. His return marks a significant step in the ongoing investigations into the deadly incident that shocked the nation. Security agencies are expected to intensify inquiries as the case moves closer to prosecution, with more details anticipated in the coming days.

@Jenysen1 @UgandanGods Additionally, the Toyota G Touring uses engine braking in Drive. Shift to Neutral and you lose that, the brakes now handle 100% of the car’s momentum. Steering isn’t affected, so with good brakes, you can still control the car.

@Jenysen1 @UgandanGods Good. Are you also aware that if the MAF sensor, torque converter, fuel pump, crankshaft sensor or alternator are faulty, the engine can still stall while in drive? Even an overheating engine can stall the car. The guy rushed to conclude that it was shifting to neutral.

@FERDINANDIUS Semakadde has served his term. He was the right leader under the circumstances. We needed to check the excesses of the judiciary and he did quite well. Now we need a properly elected president.

Can someone please explain to me how it was possible to think that culverts can manage the volumes of water here? What was the engineering logic behind culverts as opposed to bridge? I come in peace to learn which is always what I love to do. @assempebwa What was the argument? Passed by this weekend and it is great work.

A decision made in the 70s in a golf club in New York caused this. See some executives wanted to dump some radioactive waste. This waste doesn't decompose like your traditional compost. It has a half life that keeps changing and is highly carcinogenic The execs approach various people and finally end up approaching a Kenyan politician who agreed to a 50k USD bribe. In return they were to send the waste into Chalbi desert. The bribe was so little that the execs didn't even go for a board meeting to approve it. They agreed to pay right there over a round of golf. Back in Kenya the politicians didn't inform the citizenry of what was to happen. The residents of the are just saw heavily protected guys dumping some stuff in the ground covered in tarp. In North Eastern Kenya, houses are mostly makeshift since they're pastoralists. They see this tarp as a good cover to their manyattas and they start digging up the waste and taking the protective paper. This had near instant repercussions. People started to fall Ill and soon that waste found its way downstream to Meru. If you look at the prevalence rate of cancer along that waterway you'll understand that politician's don't care about their own people
IVY@ivymuthe

Someone said For the last 3 months Out of 100 funerals in Meru he has attended 80 were caused by cancer. What is happening in Meru?

Is there more to the Molly Katanga case, especially the way it's reported on social media, than meets the eye? Yesterday I simply doubted her defence in a post by @ntvuganda & a person who should be a total stranger to the case angrily replied that I, as a lawyer, shouldn't be making such comments! The irony is of course bigger than the Kilimanjaro, but they didn't see it - Jah alone knows why. Then, in a casual conversation not long ago, a journalist told me how he, and others, were approached and offered money to report the case in a way that portrays Molly as an innocent victim. Normally, who the real victim is becomes clear when the facts - as they are - are reported. When journalists are given money to bias their reporting, there surely must be something more to the case. Molly already lost round one, the court found that she does have a case to answer. Of course, that isn't a conviction, and she may as well be found not guilty in the end, but the aggressive, concerted and relentless nature certain quarters have reported that case is also telling. However, maybe it also shows that the lawyers should do their bit, the paid influencers and journalists are probably not doing much to help them in the end? Not sure there has been another Ugandan case where social media influencers so deliberately pushed a particular narrative, and yet, it isn't a case of someone abducted for their political belief or killed for attending say a political rally. What's also interesting is the people involved are also those not very interested in justice and human rights, ordinarily. You’d be hard pressed to find one case where they devoted just 5 per cent of the attention as they have devoted to the case in question. Eddy Mutwe, Kizza Besigye, Sam Mugumya, etc are really not their interest. Yet, now they go as far as to say, I who comments on virtually any case, can't comment on that one if my doing so isn't per their narrative. Interesting! Anyway, I hope that when all is said and done, justice gets served. Maybe justice is Molly being found not guilty, or maybe it is her being guilty, I don't care, I have no dog in the fight. Let the chips fall where they may.
