Written by Edema John Bosco, 2026 - 2031 Maracha East Constituency MP Aspirant on NRM Party Ticket. 20-3-2025. #Maracha East NRM Constituency Contestant Perspective on the Secretary General’s Visit to the Region The NRM Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong is visiting the region. However, as an NRM candidate in Maracha East, I have not received any formal communication from our party leaders regarding how his visit will be conducted or the key issues expected to be addressed. Is this a deliberate move to exclude some members from voicing their concerns? We seek guidance from the NRM district leadership of Maracha on this matter. As the Secretary General of the NRM, Todwong’s visit to the region carries significant expectations, especially towards party elections:  Mobilization and Sensitization where the Secretary General is expected to rally party members and supporters to strengthen grassroots support and educate us on the party’s agenda. What about listening t...

©️  A woman in your life will either build you up or drag you down—there is no in-between. The sooner you learn this, the faster you’ll filter out the parasites from the real partners. A liability costs you time, money, and peace, while an asset brings value, loyalty, and support. Here are 10 ways to know whether she’s a liability or an asset: A Liability Woman: 1. She’s Expensive with No Value – Always expecting you to pay, provide, and finance her lifestyle but brings nothing to the table. 2. She’s Emotionally Draining – Full of drama, arguments, and attention-seeking nonsense that distracts you from your purpose. 3. She Seeks Validation from the World – Always half-naked online, addicted to likes, and obsessed with impressing strangers instead of respecting her man. 4. She Competes Instead of Complements – Wants to "be the boss" and prove she doesn’t need a man while still depending on one. 5. She Disrespects You – Talks back, belittles you, and makes you feel ...

A federal judge is ordering the Trump administration to dole out millions of dollars to multiple nonprofit groups, determining the Trump administration violated the terms of a temporary restraining order issued two weeks ago regarding freezing foreign aid.

📸: Courtesy Photo on the Fight Against Corruption. As Uganda enters the election season, it is crucial for citizens to actively participate in selecting leaders who demonstrate integrity, transparency, and accountability. Corruption has long been a serious issue undermining our nation's progress—crippling service delivery, obstructing development projects, and widening inequality. The power to bring about change lies in the hands of voters. Ugandans must carefully evaluate candidates beyond their campaign promises and flashy speeches. Consider their past records: - Have they been involved in corruption scandals? - Have they mismanaged public resources? - Do they promote transparency and good governance? - Are they committed to justice and fairness? Leaders with a history of defending corruption or misusing public funds should be rejected at the ballot box. Electing such individuals only perpetuates a cycle of impunity and dishonesty within public offices. Instead, Ugan...

Written By Maracha East Constituency MP Aspirant Mawa J Collines. Dear Mr. President, *Subject: What Ugandans expect in regards to Besigye.*  I have   read your letter and appreciate you taking the time to provide clarity on this matter. Your leadership has been a defining force in shaping Uganda’s history, and I acknowledge your commitment to stability and national security. I completely agree with you that no one who commits a crime against the State should be forgiven without due process. The law must apply to all, and those who act against it should be held accountable.  However, accountability must be accompanied by fairness. If we are to uphold the principles of justice and democracy, then every accused person, regardless of their political standing, should be given the opportunity to defend themselves in a court of law. Mr. President, as I reflect on what we learned in school about your journey to leadership, I recall how you stood against injusti...

Listen up, Men! Gambling is CRIPPLING. ©️  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1H3habumQo/ You think you’re about to change your life with one lucky bet? Nah, bro—you’re about to wreck it. Gambling is the fastest way to stay broke while chasing the illusion of wealth. It’s the shortcut that leads straight to the longest road of regret. It’s the drug that feels like hope but always delivers disappointment. I’ve seen strong men turn into beggars because of gambling.   I’ve seen fathers lose their family’s food money chasing a jackpot that never came.   I’ve seen young men with potential waste their time, energy, and last kobo on a dream that the house NEVER lets them win.   Let’s be real: The casino was not built for you to win. The betting site does not exist to make YOU rich. If that were the case, they’d be out of business. The game is RIGGED, and you’re the willing victim.   Here are brutal 4 truths about gambling : 1. The house al...

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. I have seen the concern by some Ugandans regarding the remanding of Dr. Besigye for the very serious offences, he is alleged to have been planning. If you want a stable country, the more correct question, should be: “Naye Dr.Besigye bamukwatila ki? Why was Dr.Besigye arrested?” The answer to that is a quick trial so that facts come out. Otherwise, you are promoting insecurity which is very dangerous for the country. Nobody in the world can easily give us lectures on reconciliation and forgiveness because that is part of our doctrine right from the 1960s. However, our strategy and doctrine are also based on accountability by the mistake makers ─ especially those who kill Ugandans. We are now able to remember Janani Luwum, Benedicto Kiwanuka, Kiingo Chemonges, Edward Mutesa, etc., moving through a peaceful Uganda and travelling on good tarmac roads, because the freedom fighters sacrificed themselves and defeated Idi Amin and all the ...

By Debo Ronald. All the glory goes to the Almighty God amidst all the fights, trials and tribulations. Today, I received early retirement permission from the Ministry of Public Service, effective 28th February 2025. It has not been easy but I want to thank God for this far he has brought me! Special thanks go to HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the PS Ministry of Public Service and commissioners, ISO, NRM secretariat, Management and Staff of Arua Regional Referal Hospital, my lawyers, and most importantly the gallant supporters and voters of Arua Central Division, you prayed earnestly and God has answered your prayers, I have come to know that politics is a war to some politicians, it's a fight but I want to assure you that those of us who are peaceful are more than the violent and we will win this race peacefully because we have the numbers, the ideology, the message, the strategy and surely God is on our side. We are the winning team; we are ushering the leadership that God...

📸: Mawa J Collines, Courtesy Photo. 16-Feb-2025. *Janani Luwum Day: Was it worth it?*  Today, as I attended a prayer service at St. Paul’s Chapel, Gulu University, I fought back tears as the life of Archbishop Janani Luwum and the brutal way he met his death were narrated.  In reality, I did not cry for the man of God who now rests in eternal peace. I cried for what his sacrifice has come to mean in a Uganda that still bleeds. I sat there, my heart heavy, asking myself: Was his death in vain? He spoke against injustice, knowing it would cost him everything. He died for the truth, believing in a Uganda where righteousness would one day prevail. But as I looked around, I wondered; has that day ever come? Will it ever come? I thought about the leaders God once sent us; men like Ben Kiwanuka, who stood for justice and paid with his life. I wondered why God used to raise such leaders, but now He has stopped. Where are the fearless voices today? Where are the men and wo...
