Chinese construction companies dont joke. 250kms. 35% completion rate in 1yr. That means next year around this time we will be at 70% completion. By Jan 2028 it will be totally completed.

The claim is a myth. Red meat does not sit and rot in the stomach. Digestion begins immediately with hydrochloric acid and pepsin breaking down proteins. Stomach pH of ~1.5-3 kills bacteria, preventing putrefaction. Meat empties in 2-5 hours with high digestibility under normal conditions (Sicard et al., Food Funct. 2018). Human stomach acidity matches scavengers to filter microbes (Beasley et al., PLoS One 2015). Most nutrients absorb in the small intestine.

Which families in Uganda have 4 vehicles in the compound? It's as if the only people he knows in Uganda are rich people. Step out of your elite bubble sir. Many people went to bed without supper.

When I met @EAukot he sent me an NDA WITH THE PERSONAL INFORMATION of a PRIOR CLIENT including the amount of money. He said “edit the document & put your name in.” So he doesn’t even have assistants or anyone educating him, a lawyer, on data privacy laws… But HUMAN RIGHTS
Replying to @EAukot
Thirdway Alliance has to be the most exclusive coalition in Kenyan history—a political alliance that consists entirely of Ekuru Aukot agreeing with himself. Next time, just name it "My Personal WhatsApp Group" and save us the constitutional lectures.

TOURISM - EMPLOYMENT I would like to encourage many of you here to take keen interest in reports produced by banks especially. End of MAY 2026, I read Stanbic bank report on loss of jobs in hospitality by end of May 2026. In May alone over 40k jobs were lost just over 5% of the total jobs tourism supports directly in Uganda( 890k total jobs supported by tourism). Great Lakes collection for example for the months of May to October 2026, from an average of 65% to 30% first week of May and the 3rd week, we were at 18% and even touched 10%. In the bush, you need 25% to break even, just paying bills and in the city between 35 to 45% to be able to pay salaries, suppliers of services. Tourism supports almost all sectors in the economy, from agriculture , manufacturing, petroleum, transport etc When the direct jobs go, shows all types of suppliers face the axe and indirect jobs are also lost. This can only be understood by 3 types of people, the employers, the unemployed and the laid off guys. None of the tax collectors stops collecting taxes even when it’s so clear that business is gone. You can understand, government needs to pay back loans, Ugandas loans are close to ushs 140 trillion. If you don’t follow figures, you won’t appreciate that. You will think those complaining are mad, the economy should be locked down, many of you understand this but there is a lot that’s so ignorant. The economic impact of restricting Ugandans from free movement across the globe must be massive. Lots of opportunities! When you see some of us MAD, it’s coming from somewhere. Us employers we see the real impact on business which the whole country depends on. We also how many desperate young people are out there due to unemployment. Was it necessary? BIG NO DO YOU KNOW HOW UGANDANS DIE OF MALARIA ANNUALLY? 13,000 and 13m get malaria every year. 13k are generally poverty related deaths. And you can see why? Uganda has about 31m bank accounts holding about 41 trillion shillings. Over 90% hold less than 1m in savings. End of discussion

Someone in Kenya said that there is no entity in Kenya that has well preserved records like KRC. They have records from early 1900s. I hope we have the same. People are about to excrete ocular secretions. As DK would say.
REMOVAL OF ILLEGAL ENCROACHMENT ON URC LAND. Greetings, Uganda. We have all seen a locomotive slowing down for cows to move. We have all see the massive encroachment along all corridors of the URC reserve land, and so much more. On 12 October 2026, we are commencing a nationwide removal of all illegal encroachment on URC land. 1. Kampala-Ndeeba-Natete-Kyengera-Bujuuko up to Kasese 2. Kampala-Kireka-Namboole-Namanve-Mukono-Jinja-Malaba 3. Tororo-Gulu-Pakwach 5. Masindi 6. Arua 7. Busoga line Every illegal structure in URC land is slated for demolition. Owners of titles on URC land will be removed as well, structures demolished and titles cancelled (working with Ministry of Lands). The operations are aimed at providing space for planned works, create space for expansion, create space for greening of the reserve for improved image of the corridor, etc. Please note; 1. URC land along the line is 100ft on either side. 2. At level crossings, it is 70 metres. 3. Reserve land at stations is bigger. All residents along these sections should vacate. Anyone who resists, we have been guided to arrest and prosecute them. Those who have structures that are partly in URC land, we shall demolish those sections too. To all walkers using the railway corridor, we shall also commence arrests. The practice should stop because it puts the walker in danger, displaces the ballast which in turn weakens the lines.

Why the attacks on Jim Muhwezi are somewhat unfair and show a lack of knowledge by journalists, activists, MPs, political commentators and citizens alike. I think we need to ask an important question: is the public and their MPs just afraid of questioning the Big Boss himself and so have decided to attack his minister instead, using his previous corruption scandals as proof? I’ll not belabor this point. I’ll just let the two presidential letters attached below speak for themselves. While the public is bent on blaming the current Security Minister for the alleged number plates issue, the timeline of events reveals that actually, this issue is from far back in 2018 and has the Presidential hand allover it. It’s also, as we’ve labored to explain, looked at by the state as a security issue more than it is a number plate issue. In a November 2019, President @KagutaMuseveni wrote to then Prime Minister @RuhakanaR and set in motion the events that are now hitting the public space in rather controversial style. (See frames 1 and 2) At the time, @jkmuhwezi was in the political wilderness. He only got into the security ministry docket on June 8th 2021. He took over from now deceased General Elly Tumwine who, it must be said, was at the helm of this ITMS system. He worked in tandem with the then Minister of Internal Affairs, Gen. Jeje Odongo, before Gen. Otafiire took over in June 2021. (Note: There’s a potential corruption story there but we are still gathering more details before we share.) Anyway, in a July 2022 letter, President @KagutaMuseveni wrote to General Muhwezi, essentially reiterating the same demands he put on his then Prime Minister and followed it up with constant public speeches berating @PoliceUg and other security agencies for not doing enough to stem the rising criminality; especially gun crime on boda bodas. Mr Jim Muhwezi went to work and oversaw the rollout of the system; which according to police has seen a reduction in crime and has improved the speed at which the state apprehends criminals. This was revealed last week by @igp_ug1 in a meeting with the members of the Mwine Mpaka committee. A joint committee report from the defense, internal affairs and infrastructure committees actually reviewed this project and pointed out areas where it is working and areas where it needs improvement. We are happy to share this entire report. The scandal surrounding this project is reminiscent of a similar scandal around vehicle inspection (SGS) that resulted in the government losing more than 109 Billion shillings when pressure generated within parliament and amplified in the press resulted in the cancellation of that contract and ultimate loss by the taxpayer. We continue to see motor vehicles in terrible mechanical condition killing our people and no one has replaced the SGS. While we don’t condone excessive charges to the public, it might be important to ask whether we aren’t risking throwing away the baby with the bathwater like we did with SGS and are now crying about accident deaths in the thousands. Are there ways the project issues pointed out can be fixed instead of us losing a blanket amount in contract termination penalties? Also, the statement that the Attorney General is reported to have made about this contract yesterday is either wrong or misreported. Anyway, we are gonna share as many documents pertaining to this project as our sources can gather. We are still digging Temuva ku mukutu 👍🏾 #ITMSSpotlight
I think y’all are being unfair to Mr Jim Muhwezi this time. By the time the project was conceptualized, the Minister of Security at the time was Gen. Elly Tumwine (MHRIEP)

If this behavior goes on unchallenged in courts of law,Uganda is likely to become a mini Somalia or Afghanistan,where every clan chief or war lord,gives directives and they become law in his area.

Two doctors asked their architect for a weekend place to disappear into the forest. Not physically, he says, but at least visually. They also wanted a home inspired by the courtyard houses of North Karnataka. So the architect designed it to look like it had always been there. This is Tulasigeri House. Bagalkot, Karnataka. Shreyas Patil Architects. 2024. Random rubble masonry on the compound wall. Kadappa stone and Athangudi floors. Locally sourced country pot tiles on sloping roofs. Antique teak doors and windows. Cane-look blinds shading the rooms from scorching summers. An open-to-sky courtyard with a mosaic-tiled pool at its center, and every slab, brick and tile leads the eye to it. From a distance it blends in with its neighbours, with the same modest build and the same sloping roofs, and no ornament for show. A weekend escape does not have to look imported to feel like one. The place you run to can be built from the place itself: the stone under your feet, the clay over your head, the sky in the middle of the house. A home like that never feels out of place.
