My view was that we are having the wrong conversation at the right time. The conversation should actually how much more the medical internship should earn.

Multitudes throng @NUP_Ug flag bearer Irene Nampala’s first main campaign rally at Bumanye Village this evening. She earlier traversed numerous villages with strategic stop overs and door-to-door visits. This was during the ongoing campaigns for the Kalangala District Woman MP by-election.

We spoke our English and hoping we can reflect and think!
Nominating dual citizens for Cabinet positions when the law explicitly forbids it is a symptom of a deeper crisis. Our national vetting process is broken because the executive is too consumed with balancing power to perform basic background checks. #TheCapitalGang

Such an inhumane person! Just imagine he also has children and people that call him father. @PoliceUg if this person is already in your custody, let justice prevail...probably like Okello's case! But if we keep quiet to everything we the muntu wawansi are dying innocently.

The case Sydney shld open eyes of the @PoliceUg to have a huge step into taming the boda boda industry. There is lawlessness, self entitlement and real punditsm. They commit any crime and get away with everything. How many lives shall we lose to these people? @mkainerugaba
