It’s honestly not as bad as it looks, these people probably pick it from our pre colonial societies where the wealthy didn’t own their wealth but kept it in trust for society and that at every turn they would dispense this wealth to the have nots,It wasn’t begging,it was a form of paying it forward,capitalism hijacked it and it became nasty we lost the soul of our society but we insist on keeping such safety levers which makes it more disturbing

Calls for a national dialogue keep landing on deaf ears. Yet the cracks are widening, the anger is simmering, and the country sits calmly atop a ticking time bomb. Dialogue ignored today becomes crisis tomorrow.
There is so much EMOTIONAL TURBULENCE exhibited here. But as a SOCIETY/COUNTRY; are we CAPABLE, or even INTERESTED to process this EMOTION? So that we can be able to acknowledge the problem which needs to be solved? OR WE DON'T CARE? Because few understand that, under this OVERT ANGER, in most cases, hides very deep feelings of GRIEF, of FEAR, of a VULNERABLE People feeling POWERLESS and craving for ANSWERS..... How do we heal a Country so DIVIDED and ANGRY?

1/6 Please read to the end. For the few who know me, they know I would do anything to protect my daughter. I know many parents feel the same. But protecting children today goes beyond physical safety. The internet has changed everything.

"We learnt that the appointed Ministers who had dual citizenship had been provisionally vetted by Parliament despite our questioning of their appointment as Ministers which is against our Constitution."- Hon. Miria Matembe #CivicSpaceUG #CivicSpaceTV

Hon.Miria Matembe noted that as a maker of the Constitution,she will continue to come out whenever the Constitution is violated. She is not ready to give up because quitters are not winners.📌Insists that appointment of dual citizens as Ministers in Uganda is wrong. #CivicSpaceUG

This petition was brought in the broader public interest because; Uganda's diplomatic service is a core sovereign institution , Diplomats are custodians of Uganda's international identity & divided allegiance among serving diplomats undermines public confidence. #CivicSpaceUG

The Ebola story is political capital enough for the Fountain of Honor to finally manage the Boda Boda Crisis. Without dire political implications that we imagine have always kept him held hostage. A chance to let the nation breathe. A chance to regulate deaths,recklessness and corruption. @eshban1 @danitakturiho @DrakeOnen

Are we witnessing ethnic hatred in this debate in the controversy surrounding Dr. Lawrence Muganga or is this a continuation of the long unsettled debate of Banyarwanda in Uganda & whether they are refugees or citizens? #CivicSpaceTV #UgandansInDiaspora youtu.be/_qVmuZo0A0s
