- We have taken the difficult decision to temporarily withdraw our @DailyMonitor @ntvuganda journalists from covering the Kawempe North by-election for their safely because they are being targeted and attacked by armed soldiers and undercover security operatives.
- You see, Boris, there are many ways you can deal with a difficult Parliament...
- Clinton, Bush, Obama, Pence and now Biden on the same stage. Warm embraces, no name-calling, none of them jailed their predecessors. One day, Uganda, one day.
- If you wanna email me threats over my views please be brief and coherent. I don’t have time to tremble in my boots while also trying to figure out whether your stupidity is acquired, hired or congenital.
- I've spent >6months chasing an insurance claim from the recalcitrant @SanlamUganda. Even after being directed to pay by the @IraUganda they continue to dodge, delay, dither and dilly-dally. Choose your insurer carefully!
- Rita, Raymond come see me in my office on Monday morning. Bring your parents or guardians.
- On the run? He can’t have gone too far...Buganda Road Court has issued a warrant of arrest for Pastor Mondo Mugisha who is on the run. He is battling 53 counts related to obtaining money by false pretence and conspiracy to commit a felony. The accused allegedly conned pastors and private school directors over UGX 4bn.
- Uganda and Ugandans really could use some self-love and self-respect. The culture of brown-nosing every carpetbagger and charlatan who rides into town claiming to be an investor arises out of a deep well of ignorance and insecurity. A few examples:

- Started off my day by refusing to give way to a ministerial convoy UG0111L. Attempts to drive me off the road failed. I feel so patriotic, someone pass me a medal! #StayInYourLane
- Is there a better Ugandan love song than Oxygen - Aziz Azion? Please provide examples and workings (25 Marks).
- As we drove home, with smoke still billowing and shots still ringing, my child told me she can tell the difference between a gunshot and a teargas shot. Then she added: “I shouldn’t know this.” Oh Uganda!
