@AAgather In his video post,I thought he looked tough and machio🤣

@norbertmao I hope you are making some real reforms like you promised Honorable minister @norbertmao. I believe you are aware of all these dynamics within the judicial system.

@ChrisOMagezi Did you mean to say all and if any?

.Depressing picture. Reveals a lot about the current state of power in Uganda. In the book of Yubu, God gave Satan the power to touch Yubu wherever he wanted.

I'm seeing something different in this picture. While everyone is focused on Odrek Rwabogo looking helpless in court and failing to secure bail for their ally alongside his wife Patience Rwabogo and their daughter, they are missing the raw power dynamic on display. The bigger

As former Tooro King Oyo Nyimba is buried today at the tender age of 34, we have to acknowledge the most unusual and surprising fact of his reign that only came into sight with his death; he occupied a place in Ugandan’s hearts that is several times bigger than the quiet relatively small kingdom he led. And he did it without getting in Ugandan’s faces, without noise, or drama. In fact, if truth be told, he did it while not trying to. The irony is that more powerful men and women, who’ve tried one million times harder, for more years, sent thousands to their graves and to gaol, and expended great treasure, will get nowhere near that, and could even end in ignominy instead. He probably didn’t even know it. And so, if one asked the famous Amama Mbabazi-derived question, “how did he did it?”, the only honest answer has to be that it is one of the great mysteries of these our lands. RIP

Agriculture minister Frank Tumwebaze has said the Government is discussing with the Ministry of Finance to come up with “a big irrigation program” for the country to tackle drought and enable farmers to grow crops throughout the year. #VisionUpdates newvision.co.ug/category/agric…

"A government that governs thru the basement instead of the courtroom has lost any claim of constitutionalism." this statement by Attorney @PhillipKarugaba and team is witty and courageous. Calling for the disciplinary prosecution of the CDF by the UPDF for violating the constitution break's new ground. Me I am 🙏 for constitutionalism, justice and unity in diversity!

Here’s our statement demanding for the immediate release of Matthew Bagonza. Ugandans must unite in defence of human rights and end this impunity. We cannot go back to the dark days. Nedda!

Lamara is one year old. She has spent more of her life in a hospital than at home. In January, one operation changes that. It lets her eat, play, and grow like any other child. Her family cannot pay alone. Give what you can. Share if you cannot.

Your Excellency @KagutaMuseveni I believe this is the right moment to honour the pledge made to Tooro by making the King Oyo Stadium a reality. When the Government called for free land for the stadium, His Majesty personally answered that call by offering 50 acres of his own land. He did so because he believed deeply in this project and looked forward to seeing a modern stadium built for his people. Sadly, he did not live to witness that dream come true. Your Excellency, completing this stadium and naming it in his honour would be a fitting and lasting tribute to a King who gave his own land to make the project possible. It would preserve his memory while creating an important sporting and development legacy for the young people of Tooro and Uganda. I therefore humbly appeal to you to honour this pledge and make the King Oyo Stadium a reality. It would mean a great deal to the people of Tooro and would ensure that His Majesty’s generosity, vision and love for his people live on for generations. @ObukamaBwaTooro @mkainerugaba

When King Oyo fasted for 6 days as Museveni mocked his protest over kingdom assets It was in July 2014, when Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV of Tooro Kingdom embarked on a six-day fast to protest what he described as the division of his ancestral territory. The protest followed the formal recognition of two new cultural institutions - Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu in Kasese and Obudhingiya Bwa Bwamba in Bundibugyo. The two areas had historically been part of Tooro before the abolition of kingdoms in 1967. President Yoweri Museveni, who had been one of Oyo's official guardians since the young monarch ascended the throne in 1995, attended the installation of Bamba King Maj. Martin Kamya. For Oyo and sections of his subjects, the President's involvement in the ceremony was particularly provocative. On July 14, Oyo began the six-day fast at Karuziika Palace in Fort Portal. “If my son has decided to fast, I don’t mind, let him fast it will help him shape up and be healthy,” Museveni rebuked. observer.ug/news/when-king…

I extend my sincere condolences on the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV of Tooro. My heartfelt sympathies go to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the people of Uganda🇺🇬🇬🇪

Dear international journalists—please stop referring to Omukama Oyo Rukidi IV as a “tribal” king. He was the reigning monarch of a powerful, diverse people with a sophisticated, far-reaching history. Would you refer to Charles III as a “tribal” king? Felipe VI? Carl XVI Gustaf? The language of “tribe” has a long, controversial history. And in this case, it obscures more than it illuminates.

The EU🇪🇺 Delegation to Uganda 🇺🇬 extends heartfelt condolences to the people of @ObukamaBwaTooro following the sudden passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family & the people of Tooro during this difficult time. 🙏

I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Uganda's Tooro Kingdom on the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV. Five years ago, I had the honor of meeting King Oyo and presenting him with a key to the City of Dallas as a symbol of our friendship. King Oyo impressed me as a dignified and respected leader, and he will be missed. My prayers are with his family, the Tooro people, and the nation of Uganda during this time of mourning.

The boy who became king: Remembering Omukama Oyo For nearly 31 years, Uganda watched him grow. The child became a pupil. The pupil became a young man. And the young man gradually grew into the responsibilities of the crown. #VisionUpdates newvision.co.ug/category/peopl…
