The election is over and I wasn't successful. But in a short two months of campaigning, building from zero having never been in politics, running as an independent and with limited time and resources I got 16660 people in Burahya to believe in me. I am grateful 4 the decent 2nd.

In a country where 90 percent of Masters Degree holders do it because they have failed to get a job rather than because they actually needed to Master in something, demanding for a masters to qualify for a job is an effort in futility.

The Legislation sponsored by Muhammed Nsereko, MP Kampala Central, passed by passed by Parliament and signed into law by the President, overly harsh, chasing after technological development is to by no means progressive in a Free and Democratic Society. It is regressive.

I have respect for @gracelubega1 of @Phanerookampala but when he picks a joke about Batooro right out of a comedy script, I am left speechless! He should apologise and learn to respect people. His attempted joke was so dry and tasteless.

We follow up @CanaryReports interview with @KagutaMuseveni on NBS. Many commentators on social media claim the President gave dishonest or untruthful answers. To any experienced interviewer to get your listener/viewer/reader to see that a subject is lying is absolution in itself.

My two cents: Don't expect a duel between @KagutaMuseveni & Gen. Muhozi. Impossible! What is possible is that the father is pressured to give way. Possible! An interesting scenario is where M7 becomes lead campaigner for MK or leaves him on his own.

In Tooro culture when a man embarked on a journey to build a house to create his home, it was never a one man journey, it was community, he brewed beer & his wife, if married or mother if single cooked a meal & invited friends to help him. Community members brought "omuganda!"

Our leaders grow more thin skinned instead of thick skinned, they fear criticism and annoyance yet these are what make a democracy grow and help to hold them to account. They use their power to make and enforce laws to widen the gap between them & those they are supposed to serve

@CanaryMugume @nbstv I suspect, Sir, that the men were riding on a motor cycle. How did you know it was doing boda boda? A generalisation like this has given genuine entrepreneurs in the transport service business a bad name by providing criminals a place to hide while demonising an entire sector.

They are afraid or unable to respond, explain or defend so they resort to gagging! They don't legislate to expand spaces for free thinking and expression--key facilitators of innovation and invention--they are driven by fear.

@harderHB Good views bwana RCC, but expediting justice is itself a midpoint. 1st we need to ensure that only those who must go to prison actually go to prison. Investigation must be strengthened so that arrests are done after not before, political disagreement be settled politically

@odongaotto @HEBobiwine I think its fundamentally wrong to view people either in their vocation or profession as the only space they can impact & assume that anything outside is accidental or coincidental. Generalisations are dangerous attempts to stratify society & keep them locked in particular boxes.
