Uganda loses about 122,000 hectares of forest annually, due to deforestation, illegal logging, agricultural expansion,& weak forest governance systems. To mitigate this, the policy brief below suggests possible solutions. Available in the link below. acode-u.org/viewpdf.php?fileโ€ฆ

Imagine ,a party leader taking pride in occupying a parliamentary seat (contested) I will hold a press conference this Thursday and will illustrate to the country how your leadership is an industry for verandah politicians.

How is the fight on corruption going on in Uganda?
15
Would we be correct to say that the curtains have been brought down on the fights against corruption?
Just In: Speaker of Parliament race: CDF @mkainerugaba says @Thomas_Tayebwa has been endorsed to contest for the Deputy Speaker of @Parliament_Ug position. CDF says following guidance from the Commander-in-Chief @KagutaMuseveni, all PLU MPs and PLU leaning MPs will support @Thomas_Tayebwa for that position.
33
Have the curtains come down on the fight against corruption?
On the issue of Deputy Speaker, after getting guidance from the Commander-in-Chief, all PLU MPs and PLU leaning MPs will support Rt.Honourable @Thomas_Tayebwa for that position. Congratulations Rt.Honourable.

We have witnessed the obscene accumulation of wealth - cars, mansions, designer clothes, lavish parties, and the brazen use of money to buy political power. financed through Parliamentโ€™s own budget, with the active complicity of many MPs. Parliaments are meant to guard the public purse and to hold governments accountable. Ours has become a den of thieves, no longer a House of the People. It is time to restructure Parliament, reduce its size and cost, tighten financial controls, and restore public trust. โ€จ#ATrustedParliament @AgoraCFR @FOWODE_UGANDA @ccgea1

The news of Anita Among and Thomas Tayebwa ascending to the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker of Parliament respectively found me in a restaurant sharing a meal with a friend. I immediately told him that by the time those two fellows are done with us, they may have sold the Parliamentary buildings. I said this due to their appetite for primitive accumulation of wealth - with no regard to morality or shame.
