@Policy Sadly, you gave autocratic regimes a pass with your own behaviour. Do you recall shutting down the @nypost ? You have done enormous damage to the notion of open internet and lost moral authority to criticise regimes that are simply following your bad example.

The punishment is the process. To contextualise , a person who has not been charged with any offence has been remanded. The only correct course of action would have been to set him free and determine next course of action after ruling on validity of the void charge sheet.

A party secretariat and machinery should be run by technocrats who are not in elective positions. Such technocrats should not be eligible to contest for positions in the party or national elections. That way, internal organisation of a party is insulated from partisan bickering.

When @kizzabesigye1 went to Kampala on 24/05/2022 to allegedly protest rising commodity prices, the business community lost sales worth shs 200 billion & the govt lost taxes in excess of shs one billion. This is Economic subbotage & so bail of shs 30m is reasonable as a deterrent

@lam_marky @Policy @nypost No. Observing that our quest in Uganda for online freedom of expression and media has been complicated by the reckless and partisan censorship in the past few weeks. Probably, social media would still be shut down but the case for opposition has been made more difficult.

Article 82 (4) Subject to Article 81(4) of this constitution, no business shall be transacted in Parliament other than an election to the office of Speaker at any time that office is vacant. Article 81(4) is on administering oaths to MPs. That is all that can take place.

I know one man's meat is another man's prison. Let these MPs we elected allow us mourn Speaker @JacobOulanyah for at least 6 months. In this period of mourning there should be no campaigns for Speakership. Let Deputy Speaker @AnitahAmong lead Parliament in this mourning period.

A ballot paper with over 10 candidates benefits only one candidate. Further a crowded race means serious candidates still share the restricted campaign time spent in different areas with the unserious. Presently a candidate must cover 3 districts in a day.

Nothing in the law prohibits them from applying for bail afresh. It is important to keep pushing the court to do the right thing.

@nzeyokana @mugagga51 @TonyNatif Before a sale, a valuation must be done. A valuation must not be more than 6 months old. Usually bank auctioneers collude with valuers to obtain a valuation that deliberately undervalues the foreclosed asset. This enables sale at a windfall
