- Very emotional today, with tears rolling down my cheeks. We have just won a Constitutional case for 569 inmates currently serving long-term sentences of between 21 and 73 years at Luzira Prison, Uganda. The lead Petitioner is 90 years old and has been in jail for over 20 years.
- Very telling revelation that one of the volunteers who saved musician Iryn Namubiru and others didn't make it himself. He went back and tried saving more lives, but died in the process. We don't live for ourselves, but for others.
- We were making fun of Khaby Lame in memes, but single-handedly, he might be responsible for about 80% of the investment decision Tiktok has made to be a major AFCON 2021 sponsor. By end of 2021, he was the second most followed Tiktoker globally, with 8 of 25 most liked videos.
- Legal alert: High Court of Uganda has ruled that a foreign company can do business in Uganda without being incorporated or registered here. It legally suffices as long as the company is a legal entity under the laws of any country. #Uganda is open for #business #CompanyLaw
- .@PoliceUg We have #drones with night vision cameras if this can ease your rescue efforts on #LakeVictoria. I've briefed my team @UgDrones & Uganda Flying Labs and they are on standby to help. We'll do it for free as our contribution to the ongoing emergency response.
- I'm so traumatised. I just overheard a gentleman negotiating with hospital administration whether they could harvest any of his organs (liver or kidney) to settle a hefty #Covid treatment bill. May God have mercy! #Uganda #healthcare
- I knew you when you were 36. I know @HEBobiwine at 36. You had a loud mouth, Monitor column& KFM microphone. He is an MP, has music & crowds. You were probably a worse "hooligan" when you called @KagutaMuseveni a "peasant" after Garang's death. Self-assessment is always importantThe arrogance of Bobi Wine hooligan supporters is appalling. They think their opinion about govt is the only opinion that should be heard. They don’t make any effort to convince others about their point of view. They want to bully others to support them. This is unacceptable
- Every time he tweets, property prices in Kololo and Nakasero drop.
- President Museveni seems to have a request to address the "Bazzukulu". He will have to compete for attention with Uganda Cranes, Nyege Nyege, Bantwala, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and City games. We shall read the blogs. Weekends arent for 1986 history lectures. Life's too short!
- Had a deeper conversation with the security officer who impounded our bodas. He's surprised many young professionals invest in bodas, rolex sigiris,etc. We provide capital & our cousins, brothers, sisters, etc do the work. Not ideal for us to venture there, but that's the economy
- LDC and the legal profession in Uganda: Theory vs Reality There is a general belief/perception that Advocates are generally rich and influential people in society. This perception has driven many young lawyers to undertake the Post-Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice Court (LDC)
- Nearly lost my dad. Car rolled over, but he crawled out alive.
