Watching CNN, and other inter'l media before my flight, I thought I was going to a war zone.
Was in Addis yesterday, In Adama now but there is nothing, No bullets, No tension, bars are open, No roadblocks.
There is actually more Millitary presence in Kampala than in Addis Ababa.
Kenya has abolished car grants and sitting allowances for Members of Parliament.
The incoming Mps will now have to buy their own cars, if they want.
By this action alone, the government of Kenya has saved ugx 163 Billion of tax payer's money.
This is Uhuru Kenyatta.
He has sons, None of them is the next president.
He has a daughter, she's not the next president.
He has a wife, she is not the next president.
He has served and is walking out, with his whole family.
This is REAL PATRIOTISM.
Asante sana Mweshimiwa Rais
I was born, raised, educated and now working in the Museveni generation. I have also read about previous regimes and I honestly don't think
@KagutaMuseveni
is Uganda's worst president. I actually think he has been the best president we've had.
Rwanda has 30 ministers.
The ministers don't get government cars or lead cars.
Once one is appointed minister, he or she is given a hire purchase car that they use while paying for(Off their salary.)
The Ministers' can hire a driver whom they pay off their own money.
Hello

Landlocked country, 47 Million people, Largest fresh water lake, All year round rain and sunshine, great soils for coffee, if you buy now, we'll even throw in oil and gas as a bonus.

This kamanyiiro must stop.
The only Ugandan musicians we can compare to
@JChameleone
are in the Grave.
Maybe when he also joins them, they will have a battle of the champions concert in heaven.
Gwe Gravity, Chameleone was filling up stadiums when you were breastfeeding.
I have not seen a Kaveera in 4days.
I haven't seen a plastic bottle littering a drainage channel in 4 days.
Public street toilets are not closed here(they are also free)
I have not seen street beggars in 4days.
I have not smelt sewage in 4 days.
Cabinet has approved for Kiswahili to be compulsory in Primary and Secondary schools and adopted it as official language in Uganda.
What Kiswahili word do you know?
FACT;
The staple food of Buganda comes from Ankole nowadays. And then we are going to say Banyankore steal government money, yet we give them this money in our markets everyday. Buganda used to have alot of Matooke, now we don't have Matooke, we have bodabodas, what happened?
Rwanda is using virtual reality to showcase it's mountain Gorillas at the Dubai expo.
Visitors to the Kigali stall wear VR goggles and they can get a glimpse of what they could see if they actually went ahead to Visit Rwanda.

Hello friends,
CHOGM-Rwanda was my final assignment for
@nbstv
and today is my last day.
A great 4 years at this great station have finally come to an end.
Thank you
@KKariisa
for the opportunity and mentorship. Thank you the NBS newsroom for the support.
This is me, an NBS reporter.
Police did this to me because I was covering an opposition Presidential Candidate.
Supporters of the very presidential candidate I almost died for are now saying me and everyone else who bears the red microphone should be stoned or burnt to death.😔
Hello Uganda,
Please note that Kenya is having a peaceful transition of power in just two weeks.
The incumbent president is not a candidate, the constitution was not ammended, there is no sole candidate, Uhuru is just waiting to hand-over to the next man and peacefully retire.
I used to just hear about how organized this city is but today I can confirm. Kigali is the most organized city in Africa.
The organization of
#CHOGM2022
is impeccable. The neatness, the love and warmth of the people is just overwhelming.

FACT;
President Museveni has been a good president. Infact he could be the greatest president we have ever had.
This is not to say he hasn’t made mistakes, but the good outweighs the bad so far.
The Museveni nostalgia will only hit us when he leaves.(Basiima ogenze)
On the Left is where pilgrims who walked for 3 months to get to Namugongo sit.
On the Right is where Mps, ministers, politicians and rich people who were driven in air conditioned cars to Namugongo sit.
NB; This is the house of the Lord and all of us are “equal.”

Remember the 72 year old pilgrim who walked from Fort Portal to Namugongo.
Well wishers had contributed some money for her transport back today, she's just been robbed in downtown Kampala near the Old Taxi park.
She is now stranded at Mutaasa Kafeero.

So powerful and yet so calm. You'd step on his foot and he would apologize.
He worked to strengthen the UPDF's relationship with the media.
I miss this guy.
Even if Nsereko's law is counter signed by M7, UN, NATO and Putin combined.
If you're corrupt, you are a thief.
I will film you secretly, & publish a mega story.
We shall meet in Luzira. You for stealing our money and me for exposing you.
@jbyabs
please prepare my bed and uniform
This city, Addis Ababa is apparently on tension and waiting for a rebel attack anytime now.
But I'm here and they are partying. 🤔
For my friends back in Uganda, yes this is a club. And yes, it is open and yes there is no curfew here.

As Parliament passes the Anti Homosexuality Bill, I kindly remind our Dear Mps that Prostitution has also been illegal in Uganda since 1950. But we all know that prostitutes stand at the Serena hotel round-about every evening, right next to the parliament that outlawed them.😉
Musician Catherine Kusasira is in tears after money lenders put her marital home on auction.
She says she mortgaged her home to raise money that she invested in the NRM's 2021 election campaigns.
Kusasira says President Museveni nolonger picks her calls.

I'm doing some research for an international journalist and he has asked me if any of the NRA Kadogos who fought in Luweero became a general?
Historians on this app, please help
Free advice, If you have serious things to do in Entebbe, Like an important flight you don't want to miss, please use the old Entebbe road and save your 5K. Until someone at UNRA googles the dictionary meaning of the word "express"
She beat up Nicole for wanting her boyfriend. Now she has been sent to Luzira and will stay there for a long time.
Guess who has stayed here in Kampala probably enjoying sleepless nights with that very boyfriend ?
Common sense no be common 🤦🏽♂️
If Kyagulanyi Sentamu Robert went to Masaka today, Security would deploy Counter terrorism police, anti riot, FFU, LDU, CID, UPDF, and maybe even the Special forces.
The effect is that there would be enough security in Masaka to stop the daily killings.
Just thinking out loud.🤔
I was part of the production team behind this documentary and it is such a shock that
@PoliceUg
now doesn't want us to release it.
Well, I don't know what the police will do to us but we shall release this documentary today at 2:00pm come rain or sunshine.

Police moves to block the screening of an

State House must have hired a new fashion designer for Jajja because I honestly think
@KagutaMuseveni
is looking very sharp in this suit.
I like the watch too.
Since we've found the winning formula, someone please throw away all those huge white shirts of his before he comes back

succeeds at bringing this Diplomatic row to an end, If we see borders re-opening & trade resuming. We should give him his due credit.
Dear Ochola,
we once had a man, we had a General, we had a semi god. The man wielded the power of Zues. A man so powerful that when he coughed, this city caught a cold but even he never threatened us (Journalists). Time will tell.

Some girls want a man with 6packs, a house, Mercedes Benz, Big job and ready to start a business for them.
Meanwhile all such a girl brings to the table is an Iphone, long nails and 2 fake Gazaland wigs that she shares with her 4 roommates. 🤣 Abawala ba Date My family Mujooga🤣
He is Sam Okiror. The lady he was beating was a 65 year old woman and in the video he says Go home you wicked woman after beating her while laughing.
Shortly after beating this woman, Okiror died of hypertension.

Small boy from Kayunga got into Kampala and never left. Walked from Kamwanyi to Mutaasa Kafeero to hustle everyday.
Ugandans really don't believe that hard work exists, someone here called me a son of a big man. Mbu I am connected 😳😳 Me, a villager, connected!😳
Government fires all Intern doctors.
In a letter to all hospital directors countrywide, the ministry of health gave the intern doctors on strike 1 week to leave hospitals.
The ministry says they should find a way of completing their internship elsewhere.

Just last week we visited Omugo, a hospital in Terego District, West Nile that didn't have power, had a generator without fuel, had surgeons using torches to perform surgeries, and midwives using phone lights to deliver babies.

I think we can start here
Unfortunately, some Ugandan youth are being misled to hate our army. But I won't, I will always love the UPDF.
They may do wrong things sometimes but I know they do much more good things that we never see.
For me, the UPDF means our own sons and daughters, my brothers and sisters
I, Daniel Lutaaya swear in the name of the Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Republic of Uganda and that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. So help me God.
Did you know that MPs don't earn the same?
Mohamad Nsereko is the least paid MP(26M/month) while Ann Adeke Ebaju is the most paid at 39M/month.

When government doesn’t fix roads, politicians complain. When government starts fixing roads, the same politicians hold press conferences to complain.
What do we really want as a country?
As a road user, I honestly don’t care who fixes the roads, so long as the roads get fixed…
You would rather fix that money with a bank for 10 years or put it in a unit trust fund.
I repeat, DO NOT BUILD RENTALS. It's a bad business decision. Some rental owners are not even getting their big money from the rentals themselves, they are just using them to wash dirty money

@AKasingye
has to hand over power to him in what could be Uganda's first peaceful transition.

As we said, the public MUST watch this documentary today at all costs. So it has been safely sent and stored on a google server in California and will be published at 2pm.
Enemies of press freedom can now either swallow defeat & watch the documentary or switch off the internet.
