By harping on ‘modernity’ and ‘modernisation’ President Museveni has found nebulous reason to rule Uganda
As part of the strategy of globalisation and modernisation, President Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government, like many other governments, did with their countries, integrated Uganda in the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Uganda’s politically burdened judiciary is a slave of the executive and incapable of serving justice
Indeed political interference in judicial processes has been the rule rather than the exception. By the Constitution assigning the power of appointment and approval to the president of Uganda, it created a straight avenue for the Executive to interfere in the workings of the judiciary.
Transdisciplinarity: Integrating certified and non-certified experts, stakeholders and practitioners in one spectrum of thinking and action
Specifically, to be certified is to be officially recognised as possessing certain qualifications or meeting certain standards. The standards met might be for a diploma, a first degree, a second degree or a third degree in any disciplinary, crossdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary or extradisciplinary undertaking in education.
God and Big Bang: Homosexuals don’t subscribe to Creation Theory because they don’t believe God exists
The farthest galaxies were moving faster than the ones close to us. This means if some things were moving away, then long ago everything was close to every other thing, and most likely interconnected. This means that everything we can see in our universe today – stars, planets, comets, asteroids were not there at the beginning. The question is where did they come from? According to Lamaitre, a super long time was involved. Scientists have calculated that the universe is 13,800,000,000 (13.8 billion) years old, which is a very long time.
While Kenyans and Tanzanians never allow refugees to fiddle in politics, Ugandans are enduring oppressive alien authority
I was in Tanzania for 10 years and in Kenya for 10 years. In Tanzania I was originally a student of zoology, botany with development studies at the University of Dar-es-Salaam in the very early 1970s. I just missed interacting with President Tibuhaburwa Museveni. He had left the university in...
Imagining Africa in 2123: In parts of Africa concealed genocide by foreigners is decimating nations
The consequences of colonialism have been many, diverse and well-documented. One consequence is continued deceptive ownership of Africa by the orthodox colonisers in terms of economics, politics, sociality and futurity. This is most expressed by the deceptive robbery of Africa through foreign aid. In reality money flows out of Africa far more than comes in from the so-called foreign aid-giving countries.
Companies that committed to phase out fossil fuels at COP28 need government support
Ultimately, no company or sector can deliver full decarbonisation alone. That’s why we joined more than 200 other companies in signing the We Mean Business Coalition’s Fossil to Clean Campaign in the leadup to COP.
Sleeping giant: Rethinking science, technology in Africa in light of knowledge integration
Blame compartmentalisation of knowledge, specialisation, over-specialisation and engagement of science and technology for disintegration of knowledge for glorification and actualisation of a few at the expense of the whole society. In the process, intellectual capital and complexity has been eroded in favour of scholasticism, academicism and simplicity.
Energy poverty is a humanitarian crisis and Africa will need pragmatism to achieve a just transition
For activists who refuse to believe this economic reality, I invite them to reread the financial pledges made by developed states at COP15. Wealthy nations acknowledged the transition challenges facing developing nations and pledged $100 billion by 2020 to help them fight climate change. Thirteen years later, the real spending value came in around $24.5 billion. Climate promises do not often survive first contact with a chequebook
Curse of palm oil farming: IFAD, World Bank may have given nod to thieves in Uganda to steal all land in the east, north
In summary the government of Uganda and IFAD, most likely with the backing of World Bank, want to establish oil palm growing over the whole of northern Uganda and most of eastern Uganda. Virtually all Ugandans are unaware of this creeping thief that will take all the land, destroy all the trees, interfere with the water cycle, displace them from their land and turn them into internal refugees and a cheap labour force that can be easily hired and fired. The leaders in the two regions must wake up. They too will be victims of the gigantic land grab.
