How Uganda’s long history of political defections undermined ideological pluralism and democracy, went a tad higher under Museveni
There have been many prominent shifts during NRM rule. The most memorable are probably those of Anne Anita Among and Thomas Tayebwa, who were former members of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) that crossed to the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and rose to become Speaker and Deputy Speaker of Parliament, respectively
Refugees created avenues for Uganda top brass to steal donor funds, now the exiles face extreme resentment
The refugees have had access to public services, jobs, opportunities almost more readily than the indigenous people. I don’t know how much money the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government has been spending on each Ugandan to survive. However, for refugees, the government says it has been spending $16 on each one of them every month.
Understanding why Uganda’s political dinosaur Museveni is whining as Bobi Wine drains country’s moral and economic swamp
Bobi Wine’s rise as a populist leader in the 21st century has, of course, been catalysed by his viral political, effective social media presence and crowd dynamics, heavily driven by young people. Most of these are in their 20s and 30s, who have grown under and seen only President Tibuhaburwa Museveni.
AI-generated crowds may be Satan’s tool of deception Museveni needed to wow voters in January 25 presidential election
Currently, the narrative is that only President Tibuhaburwa Museveni can ensure peace and security of the country and ensure further development, transformation and progress of the country. Accordingly many political parties seem to have agreed to the narrative and struck alliances with the NRM, not realising that President Tibuhaburwa Museveni has never abandoned his determination to erase political parties
Africa’s scramble for nuclear: Buyende Nuclear Plant is Museveni’s ‘gift’ of Hell to poor Ugandans
The president of Uganda’s philosophy of development is that development can best be pursued best in the country this century if infrastructure is put ahead of the environment, nature, the people and their communities, in that order”.
From quasi-socialist and communist, Uganda’s Museveni morphed into ‘I, me and myself’ Eating Chief before ‘Kyagulanyi Idea’ arrived
For President Tibuhaburwa Museveni himself Uganda begins in 1986 when he captured the instruments of power through the barrel of the gun. Indeed, he has endeavoured to rewrite the history of Uganda in which past leaders, whom he once referred to as swine, are excluded as if they never existed or contributed to the social, economic or political changes in the country – positive or negative.

Dear Ugandans, a university degree is healthy pursuit but it’s not a licence or right to complacency
Degrees will be good not necessarily in the equation of AI. We should all prepare to accommodate AI as tool that will improve the way we do things for the benefit of humanity. It is wisdom to do so. Rote political thinking and action in leadership and governance will soon be a thing of the past.
NRM, UPDF are firmly in the hands of President Museveni’s over-militarised family that determines who rules Uganda
In UPDF, the powers of recruiting, promotion, retention and retiring army officers is vividly in the hands of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba – who is the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and son of President Tibuhaburwa Museveni. In a way, the manipulated Parliament of Uganda gave the UPDF Act 2025 to family of President Tibuhaburwa Museveni in general and General Muhoozi Kainerugaba in particular. The act allows the military to try civilians.
