Why Museveni created non-opposition for ethnicising politics and politicising ethnicity in Uganda
It should be remembered that during the burial or Professor Adoniya Tiberondwa, a UPC stalwart, at his home in Bushenyi, General Kahinda Otafiire told mourners who dressed in UPC colours that as combatants, they would wear the red T-shirts and then go on the rampage. At other times, they would wear the uniform of the UNLA, which they had in plenty, since the majority had just walked out of the UNLA. This way the population would be easily hoodwinked to believe that it was UPC youth wingers killing people.
FTC report lays bare how corporate greed puts huge bite on working families who spend most of their income on food
Time and again, big companies tell us that if they could only get bigger, they would pass savings on to consumers. This is almost never true. Instead, they give money back to their investors and reward executives – like Walmart’s Doug McMillon, who takes home over $25 million a year, and Kroger’s Rodney McMullen, who makes more than $19 million. That’s 671 times more than the amount an average Kroger worker makes.

Kenya had an estimated five million malaria cases and over 12,000 deaths reported in 2022, according to the World Health Organization. Most of those affected are children under 5 and pregnant women. Kenya continues to combat malaria with traditional methods such as distributing bed nets that are treated with insecticides, spraying breeding areas and promoting prompt diagnosis and treatment, but experts say progress against the disease with those approaches has plateaued.
How political impunity failed justice-building in governance for inclusive development in Uganda
With the passage of time, President Tibuhaburwa Museveni has tended to appoint members of his family and ethnic group to high-ranking offices, which has introduced a high degree of political and other injustices, political careerism, political impunity, political hereditarism and political corruption, hence exclusionism in leadership and governance of the country. The latest, which did not come as a surprise, was the appointment of his son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as the Chief of Defence Forces of the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UDPDF). This is the most glaring show of political and military impunity of the president of Uganda
