My column in this week’s @observerug
I examine the ways in which @JudiciaryUG’s (mis)interpretation of the 1995 Constitution has left Ugandans vulnerable to the worst excesses of a Trump-Museveni alliance (from the ‘deportation pact’ to the more recent ‘health pact’ etc).
Good evening friends,
And a Happy New Year!
One of my own resolutions for 2026 is to take a one year social media break.
I shall, therefore, be taking temporary leave of this forum 🙏
Akuume 🙏

There's no moral to this story, I just felt like sharing how the past 5 years have affected me in ways I never thought possible.
This country has broken so many people who waved the flag high in the past.
I'll always hope for a better country.
But that light is dimming. Fast.

I'm dreading next week. Because I know that I'm hanging onto this country only by a tiny, tiny sliver of hope. And duty
Since 2021, I've encouraged anyone who can leave Uganda to leave.
Because it's gotten much worse.
All that's keeping me here is my duty to Uganda's children.
Dr Busingye Kabumba retweeted
Since childhood, I've been asked why I'm in Uganda when the world out there had better opportunities for growth, innovation and success.
I'd always answered that my home, and my work is in Uganda.
2021, when they shut down the internet, was the day my patriotism started dying.
🙏🙏🙏

Did you know that the Ham Mukasa Historical Site, found north of Mukono Town at Nassuuti, was built by Ham Mukasa in 1906? The museum showcases artifacts that portray the legacy of Hamu Mukasa (1868-1956).

Our sister, @DoreenNyanjura has proved herself as a passionate, fearless, & committed defender of the people & their views. She did it as a Makerere student, as a member of the FDC, at City Hall, & now seems to take the fight to parliament.
Kindly contribute to her campaign.

ILINA is entering 2026 in the best position it's ever been, and we intend to accomplish a lot this year. Here's a short piece about where we're coming from and where we're heading: cecilyongo.medium.com/ilina-…

So, the Registrar (Kintu Simon Zirintuusa) eventually ruled on KIU’s application for Temporary Injunction on me (after granting them Interim Injunction on me of 40 days). He has granted the Temporary Injunction too. The main suit is allocated to Justice Kinobe. You can make your own interpretation of the process, spirit of the arguments, the pattern, and the direction.
Regardless, there is no giving up on using this and other spaces available to us to amplify voices of the unheard, to call the mighty to order, to demand for justice, for better services (even from KIU) and for a better country. No one can stop the tide.

2025 remains painfully unforgettable.
Hoping for a kinder year.
Happy new year
Dr Busingye Kabumba retweeted
A moment of silence for those we lost in 2025.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Arguably, one of the pictures that most horrified Ugandans in the year 2025. Unimaginable that Eddie Mutwe will begin the year in detention - denied access to his chosen medical treatment by an emasculated judiciary. 2026, please be better than this!
