On 14 August 2024, Dr. Davis Musinguzi @Davisthedoc was handed a letter titled “TERMINATION OF CONTRACT.”
With the stroke of a pen, twelve years of sweat equity—from answering late-night telemedicine hotlines to building Uganda’s premier diagnostic laboratory and clinic network—were formally extinguished.
The public was told it was a triumphant pan-African merger between Kenya’s @MyDawaApp and Uganda’s Rocket Health.
Forensic due diligence, leaked balance sheets, and unsealed records reveal the truth: an asset extraction designed to rescue an insolvent corporate shell and bail out foreign private equity. 🧵1/
We spoke to Founder Davis Msinguzi to bring you the full investigation: open.substack.com/pub/boardl…

These mobile money charges do not in any way reflect an economy that is looking towards a cashless system. At this rate, transporting UGX 5M from Mubende to Kampala is cheaper than withdrawing it btw.

One of the greatest lessons my father taught me is “a man without debt is not an ambitious man, because if you’re living within your means it means you’re not thinking ahead”

🚨⚽️ El portero del FC Andorra, Jesús Owono, sobre la trágica muerte de Jesús de Miguel y las amenazas que ha recibido tras el incidente:
“En primer lugar, quiero enviar mis más profundas condolencias a la familia de Jesús de Miguel, a sus amigos, a sus compañeros de equipo y a todos en el Tenerife. Honestamente, todavía no puedo creer lo que ha pasado. He estado pensando una y otra vez en ese momento, y no creo que haya palabras que puedan describir lo doloroso que esto es para mí.
Quiero que todos entiendan algo. Nunca salí al campo con la intención de lastimar a nadie. Vi venir el balón, salí porque quería despejarlo, y lamentablemente, choqué con Jesús. Ocurrió tan rápido. Si pudiera volver atrás y cambiar lo que pasó, lo haría sin pensarlo dos veces. Daría cualquier cosa por que Jesús siguiera aquí hoy.
"Pero lo que ha hecho que esta situación sea aún más difícil es lo que ha pasado desde entonces. He recibido tantos mensajes insultantes, amenazas de muerte y cosas horribles dirigidas a mí y a mi familia. La gente me está llamando asesino, como si hubiera salido al campo con la intención de quitarle la vida a alguien.
"Entiendo la rabia. Entiendo que la gente está de luto, y créanme, nadie está más devastado por lo que pasó en ese campo que las personas que estuvieron involucradas en ello. Pero yo también soy un ser humano. Tengo una familia, tengo sentimientos, y esto es algo que me acompañará por el resto de mi vida.
"La gente no entiende el daño psicológico que esta tragedia puede causar. Ya estoy luchando por procesar la muerte de un compañero futbolista, alguien que salió al campo simplemente para jugar al fútbol, y ahora tengo que lidiar con el trauma de saber que estuve involucrado en un incidente que finalmente llevó a la muerte de otro ser humano.
"No le estoy pidiendo a nadie que olvide lo que pasó. No estoy pidiendo simpatía en lugar de recordar a Jesús. Solo les pido a las personas que entiendan que esta nunca fue mi intención. Lo siento profundamente por lo que ocurrió, y deseo que su familia pueda de alguna manera encontrar la fuerza para superar este terrible momento.
"Jesús merecía volver a casa con su familia después de ese partido. Sus compañeros merecían volver a verlo. Y el fútbol merecía tenerlo con nosotros durante muchos años más.
"Descansa en paz, Jesús. Lo siento de verdad."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
La publicación atribuye a Jesús Owono una declaración ficticia. Medios reportan que el portero no ha realizado declaraciones públicas sobre la muerte de Jesús de Miguel y su intención era contactar primero en privado con la familia.

So, for these Nigerians and the global news media, it was a case of blame Uganda first as you investigate the actual source of this Ebola case?
Press Release
FG PROVIDES UPDATE ON FCT EBOLA CASE AS GENETIC ANALYSIS SHOWS VIRUS IS RELATED TO VIRUS IDENTIFIED IN KENYA
Abuja, Nigeria | 23 October 2026
The Federal Government has provided an update on the confirmed Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) case in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), reporting that genomic analysis indicates that the virus identified in Nigeria is genetically related to the virus identified in a case in Kenya.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, said the findings provide important scientific information, while emphasising that further investigations are required to establish whether the two cases are epidemiologically linked.
The genomic analysis was conducted by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and the Institute of Genomics and Global Health (IGH) at Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun State, led by Professor Christian Happi. Prof. Pate commended both institutions for their speed and scientific rigour, while reiterating that genetic relatedness between viruses does not, in itself, establish a direct transmission link between cases.
Prof. Pate stated that identified contacts of the confirmed case remain under active monitoring. Some have tested negative, while results for others are still pending.
The Coordinating Minister said the Federal Government was strengthening surveillance, laboratory capacity, case management, risk communication and infection prevention and control. Healthcare facilities have been reminded to promptly identify and report suspected cases to public health authorities, while additional training and sensitisation for healthcare workers will support the effective implementation of response protocols.
In a related announcement, the Director General of the NCDC stated that the agency would begin issuing short daily updates to the public from 24 October 2026, in line with its public health guidelines. The updates will provide regular information as the situation evolves.
The Minister urged Nigerians to remain calm and vigilant, observe all recommended safety precautions, follow official public health guidance and avoid spreading misinformation or unverified reports. He advised the public to obtain updates from recognised health authorities, including the NCDC, the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).
The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to containing the outbreak, protecting healthcare workers and preventing further transmission, while calling for continued cooperation from the public and all relevant stakeholders.

Millennials really went from spending hours picking the perfect ringtone and customizing every inch of their phones to keeping them permanently on silent and ignoring every call like their life depends on it.
They went from partying until sunrise with people whose last names they didn't even know to canceling plans because staying home sounds better, then experiencing social anxiety when they actually have to leave the house.
They went from posting every detail of their lives online to wanting absolutely nobody to perceive them.
From surviving on three hours of sleep to needing eight hours, a specific pillow, complete darkness, and zero responsibilities just to function.
From saying “YOLO” to saying “I don't have the energy for this.”
Honestly, millennials have one of the most impressive character arcs of any generation.
We have experienced both extremes of almost everything. We can be completely unhinged on Friday and cancel every plan for the next six months by Saturday.
You can't overestimate us, and you can't underestimate us.
We contain multitudes. Mostly anxiety, nostalgia, and a desperate need to be left alone. 😂

🚨🚨DEAN OF THIEVES 🚨🚨
We the traders, boda riders, youth and ordinary Ugandans have suffered enough. We are not refusing to pay tax. We are refusing to be over taxed and scammed by a system designed to make us poor.
This is how URA over taxes us;
1. Six Taxes on One Item. This is a Scam.
You import one phone or one bale of clothes. URA charges you;
- Import Duty 25%
- Excise Duty
- VAT 18%
- Withholding Tax 6%
- Infrastructure Levy 1.5%
- Environmental Levy 30%
One item, six taxes stacked on top of each other. By the time you reach Kikuubo, the price has tripled. Who can afford that? This is not taxation, this is extortion.
2. PAYE 40% - Highest in East Africa.
In Rwanda PAYE is 30%, Tanzania 30%, Kenya 30%. In Uganda it's 40%. A worker who earns 1M takes home only 600k. Government takes 400k before you even buy food which also has 18% VAT. Where is our take home? 🏠
3. Fuel Excise Raised Every Year.
Fuel excise from 1,350/= to 1,550/= to now 1,750/=per litre. Every time fuel goes up, everything goes up taxi fare, food, cement, soap. Yet URA says they are widening tax base.
4. Double Taxation on Small Businesses.
A small shop owner in Kampala pays: Trading license to KCCA, Income tax to URA, VAT 18% plus daily EFRIS fines of 2M, 6M for small mistakes. Many shops closed in 2024-2025 because of EFRIS enforcement without education.
5. EFRIS and Instant Fines are Digital Scam.
URA introduced EFRIS but did not train traders. Now a mistake of not issuing a receipt is 2M fine, then 6M. How can a woman selling tomatoes afford 6M? This is not tax collection rather this is punishment of the poor.
6. 11% Tax to GDP yet Harassing the Same 1 Million People.
URA collects only 11% of GDP, the lowest in EAC because they fear to tax the rich and the corrupt who steal billions. So they squeeze the same 1 million compliant Ugandans, boda riders, market women and small shops over and over.
What we ask not request because we are tax payers;
1. Reduce PAYE from 40% to 30% like our neighbors.
2. Reduce VAT from 18% to 10% like Kenya.
3. Stop stacking 6 taxes on one imported item and harmonize to one single tax.
4. Stop EFRIS fines until every trader is trained free of charge.
5. Publish online how every shilling is used.
URA @URAuganda , you are not collecting tax. You are killing businesses. You are making Uganda the most expensive country to live in East Africa.
If you tax us to death, who will pay tax tomorrow?
We Pay Tax, We Deserve Respect, Not Scam.

I built a free map of every drainage channel in Kampala.
Tap any drain: see why it floods, what drains into it, where it's water goes.
Zoom in for a satellite view.
Can be used to report floods and queue maintenance work.
