20-6-2025.  Copied. Let’s be brutally honest. If there’s one thing that can destroy your business faster than inflation, bad hires, or a market crash — it’s workplace romance. And as a man building something that matters, you need to hear this: Your company is not a dating site. It’s not Tinder. It’s not Netflix & Chill Inc. It’s a battlefield for profits, power, and legacy. The moment you allow love affairs to creep into your business, you’re no longer the boss. You’re a clown running a circus. YOUR HOUSE. YOUR RULES. NO MJolo. NO MJolo. NO MJolo. If it’s your business — it’s your house. And your house follows your rules. Lay it down clearly: No dating coworkers. No flirting behind the storeroom. No secret office hookups. No mixing personal emotions with professional decisions. Why? Because nothing derails focus, loyalty, and discipline faster than lust disguised as “love.” WORKPLACE ROMANCE WILL KILL YOUR PRODUCTIVITY You’re out here trying to scale, close deals, ...

Written by Edema John Bosco. DECLARATION OF INTEREST Date: 12th June 2025 Location: NRM Secretariat, Kampala Today, I officially expressed my interest at the NRM Secretariat in Kampala to contest as the NRM flag bearer for Maracha East Constituency. This marks a significant milestone in my journey to formally offer myself in service to the people of Maracha East.

In 30 years, we could become the new version of what Karamoja was once labelled—not in terms of clothing or tradition, but in terms of poverty, technological exclusion, and lack of education. Whether it is me or another leader, there must be...
