No person should burry their children or grandchild. Commissarations with the Justice Mugamba Family in the tragic road accident at Buloba on Fort Portal Rd yesterday through recklessness of a truck driver. Eternal Repose for their souls.
Told in a neighboring country, it's status symbol to be sanctioned by the west. You meet this fella at his palatial residence [they like Munyonyo, Bunga, Buziga and lately Kitende] and dude is like "I am Gen. Lual Chol Deng, sanctioned by the US [with emphasis]".

If you don't do politics, politics will do you. Ugandan intelligentsia stays out of politics. It's coming to haunt them. The politics is doing us kabisa!!!

The Chair of UHRC ought to conduct tribunal with decorum of courts. Shouting match with bar/litigant is most obnoxious. This doesn't sit well with investment climate. We gotta call her out on this..

If the Uganda Parliament [still] has money left on it budgets, I suggest we sponsor Hon. Ssemuju for another pilgrimage to Mecca. The title of Alhajji for a man of his status is good for our image as a country.

Ethnic identity is ever evolving. Just over 100 years ago in Uganda. Some of the these have been absorbed into bigger groups. Others changed nomenclature!
Dr. PK Semwogerere with Owek. Joash Sibakyalyawo Mayanja-Nkangi. The best of the pacifist politicians Uganda has had. Had they been half as bellicose as contemporary protagonists, Uganda would never have emerged from the ashes of their days! Salut!!

I am waiting to see who will throw the first stone at Hon. Bobi Wine nuanced ethnic appeal at his rallies last weekend. We then can have an open debate, not to determine who is right, is the best debater, but rather to push for what is right for Uganda!

Uganda's biggest trading partner is the DRC. North Kivu the largest consumer of Uganda's exports is at war. Ask an average Ugandan about the M23. They will erroneously tell you it's about Banyamulenge and nothing beyond. Ask them about Ukraine and Israel. They each detail.
I observed Museveni for a while. He deploys "bull horn formation" in his war tactics and strategy. The fight against corruption is going to scatter all persons from all walks of life. Inside cabinet, outside of it in parliament, civil service, security etc. Full circle!
Folks, smell the coffee outside of the flurry of the exchanges. The average age of a coffee planter is 63. Good cash flows and safety net for retirement. The export receipts have hit 1 B USD. It's now trendy and a status symbol to drop a ka line. I am doing 25 acres of coffee!

Spoke to a high end lodge owner who was in Turkey, top 25 tour operators shocked to learn Uganda got mountain gorillas. Arranged for 18 Murchison Falls, QENP, and Nkuringo tours. Save for the bad roads, the flights were top notch.

They fought for the democracy. Took power. It's elite/intelligentsia did claw back when the democracy was under attack. It was nurtured. It didn't fall from the sky. We got much to unlearn and relearn from them!
After Women, fear Museveni..he has revitalized himself reinvented himself, stayed relevant home and away, rejuvenated and resonates with us all.
Kwegamba, I suggest a course unit at university on Musevenism.
He has elevated pragmatism to the level of a political philosophy!
I was the architect of the law that established the UBC. Reason I was tasked to establish it. My LL.M was on Communications. Public Broadcasting was the area of focus for my thesis. Next question?

A Ugandan Public servant with a private sector approach response attitude. You gotta like this dude. Lessons to pick! Style, raft, diction. So on point!
😊The thinking is that we all get planned activities at our work, home environments out on time and that all factors remain constant!
Not at all! The setbacks to these planned projects have been shared again and again. Sometimes the criticism goes beyond appreciation of these
True that. I wish I knew even 1 tenth of what I know. I would have headed straight to Fort Portal to pursue enterprise in coffee growing. Legal practice is a hoax in primordial, pre-industrial pre-capitalist, pre-scientific societies.
The plight of a young g lawyer in Uganda is just misguided anger accruing from the fake dream sold to us during orientation in week 1 at uni! Unfortunately, even seniors haven’t helped much with the continued fake rosy appearances! It’s a trap! 1st hit those 10000hrs g’d friends!
I did teach constitutional law at law school. If my exams were to be put to scrutiny using Prof Nawangwe [in my language mean Grand Leopard] I would be put to death by firing squad!!

Fun fact: At the bottom of the question paper, he'd sign-off with the theatrical idiom: "Break a Leg" 😂😉
I beg to disagree. The investors we attract in Uganda are the kind who need this kind of protection. No fortune 500 companies with Ivy Leaguers in Executive Board would come to Ug. It's mainly Chinese, Turkish, Indian and a few Arabs. Their modus operandi calls for protection!
The mere fact that a special unit headed by a Colonel in the Army is set up to protect investors and their investments is in itself sufficient to frighten off would be serious investors.
Cattle keeping is more of a hobby and or prestige project for the middle class. The full-time guys have continued to deploy primordial management systems. End result, very high unit costs of production. We can't compete for instance with Brazil and Argentina for the MENA markets!
Hon. Mwesigwa Rukutana my mentor gave Peter Katutsi, Celia Muhwezi [Head Legal Stanchart], Helen Wenene [Corp Sec CAA] and I a similar treat in May 2000 after our internship. I owe my litigation skills to MR as we called him.

You must deranged to assume Banyarwanda were wanderers in Uganda. Kindly familiarize yourself with the Anglo German Treaty done at Brussels in May 1910 that transfered land occupied by Banyarwanda to Uganda. As such, Banyarwanda are much an indigenous group of Uganda as yours!

DRC trade with Uganda is for the much part responsible for stability of UGX. Gold re exports stand at 3.6 billion. We doing roads in 100s of Million USD. However, as your elite Ugandan who are the candidates for the Dec 20th polls. Angazi. Ask them about Israeli they got it all.
This dwarf Solomon Kampala is enjoying the fruits of Bisiyaga from the Imperialists that his father Bobi Wine enjoys every month. Now, the oppressed Ugandans must fight for themselves.
Nation building entails compromise and dialogue which builds tolerance and concensus. This pic taken 20 years ago are the present Chief Justice, and the present Justice Minister with Kony rebels. Taking to dialogue!
Dr. Ssemogerere gets a deserving monument. We need a national one too. A pacifist par excellence, his contribution to deepening democracy through jurisprudence as a pace setter is unmatched.

The first company was incorporated in 1897, The Uganda Company, succesor to IBEACO. It later changed names to Mitchel Cotts [U] Ltd. Note, it's in Kenya, Zambia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt and Algeria. Kampala is the headquarters.
Curious to know who the founding companies or members of the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (
@UNCCI_UG
) were in 1933. Madhvani Group has been around since 1914. Was it the first company to be registered in Uganda? Is it the only one that has made over 100 years?

The lychmob against Justice Julia Ssemambo Ssebutinde is using more of emotion than reason. The UN Security Council pronounced itself on the provisional orders which it's clothed with enforcing. Never witness as much bullying as on this occasion!

1. An honest post on the reality of lawyering in Ug. Law firms are enterprises with costs to run. What is left after deducting costs is what is termed as profit. The fee notes are dwindling. Economies like Kenya on average have 3 times higher fee notes yet with less overheads!
Dear Young Lawyer,
