Why there’s need for Uganda to accept centrality of environment in economic growth, governance
There is need to rethink Uganda and its development, leadership and governance and recognise the centrality of environment and environmental literacy to any meaningful change, transformation and progress in the 21st century. A word to the wise is enough.
Initially ‘tribe’ was used to classify wildlife, then British applied it to denigrate Ugandans and Museveni seized it as a tyranny toolkit
The colonialists, therefore, introduced centralised governance, not to benefit Ugandans as such, but themselves. When they introduced domestic economic production of sugarcane, coffee and cotton, and integrated it in the global markets and a domestic education system, which later got integrated in the global education and communications system, it was not in the interest of the peoples they colonised.
American democracy has been tested since 2022 election, now voters say it’s ‘up to us to make it resilient’
President Tibuhaburwa Museveni has tried to repeat this feat especially in Buganda, thereby generating conflict in the kingdom. He encouraged installation of hitherto non-existent “kings” to weaken Buganda. The Kayunga Crisis of 2009 in which some people died is said to have arisen from the NRM government’s support for the Banyala to break away from the Kingdom of Buganda as late as October 2022.
Disputed presidential poll outcome cast dark shadow on Congo as Tshisekedi retains top seat
Critics, however, said Tshisekedi had fallen short and accused him of stifling dissent, as his predecessors had done. A group of nine rival presidential candidates, including Fayulu and opposition frontrunner Moise Katumbi, asked supporters on Sunday to take to the streets to protest what they called a “sham election”.
Prosecutors want appeals court to throw out Trump’s immunity claims in insurrection case

Trouble with Uganda: It’s riddled with unprincipled politics, mind poverty, stupidity and foolish leadership
You cannot expect a healthy population if you are not investing adequately in health services and health human resources. You cannot expect peace and security in the long-term if you have invested in military hardware and violence at the expense of social development. Social security and peace should be paramount.
Uganda’s roads sector: It’s a classical case of ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ and ‘Holy Grail’
With regard to the roads sector in Uganda, the resources are basically the trillions of shillings invested in it by both government and external donors. To many people, the trillions have not resulted in the improvement of roads in Uganda. The trillions of shillings seem to be sinking into a bottomless pit. With very low levels of accountability and transparency in the allocation of contracts and use of the funds, the tragedy of the Commons in Uganda is a spirally evolving phenomenon in the 21st century.
Governance by deception: Does grubby Museveni have to cling to discredited top-down economic model to rule Uganda?
Everything is deception. The sale of public assets by the NRM/A was deception. It was stated the aim was to enhance efficiency but instead they ended up in the hands of government functionaries and their fronts, usually Indians.
Trump foes in GOP hope US Constitution’s ‘insurrection’ ban will keep him off 2024 ballot

Election observers flag ‘massive irregularities’ as Congo rules out re-run, opposition plan protests
