So my brother Ashburg Katto has betrayed the struggle for Posho, beans and fake milk!!!!!This is a shame and I had to comment about it you know some people especially people power fans, when you talk about bad things in the struggle, that means you’re intolerant, a fanatic, a besigyeist, bribed and likely to abuse power when you eventually get it. Now let me annoy you again, what Ashburg Katto did was a betrayal of the struggle and he deserves death penalty.
Bobi Wine should stop associating with such people, imagine selling you soul to Muhoozi Kainerugaba yet you know it very well that hes the enemy of the struggle and he have tried to erase or kill some of our fighters eg Bobi wine in Arua zaake in mityana but because for you you’re greedy you’ve decided to sell your soul for food??
We are all hungry, but at lest it would be better if you camped at Bobi wine’s home, I don’t think he can fail to feed you, Stop weakening our struggle.
From now you’re our enemy, anyone of us who betrays the struggle and join the tormentor is our enemy too and if it was a jihad battle the least punishment is death penalty.

BOBI WINE’S MUZUNGU MANAGER HAS DENOUNCED THE ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR OF HIS SUPPORTERS AND SAID THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE. THIS WOMAN ANNE WHITEHEAD WAS EVEN DEPORTED FROM UGANDA FOR HER ASSOCIATON WITH BOBI WINE..WAWOOOOOO.Simon Ruta: He has inflated ego, a misguided sense of political superiority perhaps fueled by mass ignorance of his supporters. I feel sorry for those who still have faith in him.
Edward Kagguma Kakooza: It’s time someone told them off. Other than selling their candidate, they simply shove him down people’s throats and that will be their waterloo, come 2021! Funny thing is that their candidate is humble, engaging and diplomatic!
Kisega Emma: This is the very reason why we will support museveni even in his short coming .
Have seen in your recent posts you have done everything possible to bring out information that decampines bobi .if the opposition is fighting out of power that means their aim is not to help Uganda but they want to robe us too . better a devil u know than an angle you don’t know
Museveni forever.Jerome Kakande: Until we learn to discuss maturely, respect others views even if we don’t agree with them, avoid Insults and any other abusive language, then weather from Bobi camp, FDC, NRM, DP, CP etc we will NEVER have a peaceful and political Environment. That one we can forget. Respectful n mature discussions r part of the ingredients that build society.
Mathew Gerald Guma:@ Jerome Kakande… That’s why Bobi wine can’t persuade me because his politics is so childish. How do you respond to your Boss ( Speaker of parliament) from people power head office after she has sermoned to disciplinary committee. He would respectfully gone to parliament even though he was right. A boss is a boss even though she was wrong, I expected him to respectfully go to the disciplinary committee of parliament and he defend himself. Not every who goes to DC is already guilty. The Bible tells us to respect all those in authority. I wonder were his Christian values are.

1)A true friend is like a penis, he stands up for you in times of need. A genuine friend is like a bra, she supports you at all times. A faithful friend is like a condom , he protects you from all harm. A loving friend is like a vagina, she accommodates you fully despite the size of your problem.
2). Kamasutra says : If you suck one nipple, the woman herself offers the other one. And that was the origin of “buy one get one free”
3). Before sex, you help each other get naked. After sex, you dress only yourself. Moral: In life no one helps you once you’re fucked.
4). Success is like pregnancy. Everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you got fucked to achieve it.
5). Life is like a dick, sometimes it becomes hard for no reason.
6). Practical thought: A husband is supposed to make his wife’s panties wet, not her eyes. A wife is supposed to make her husband’s dick hard, not his life..!
When a lady is pregnant,
all her friends touch her stomach ad say “Congrats!”.
But none of them come and touch the man’s Penis and say “Well done!”.
Moral: Hard work is never appreciated: Only results matter.

Tanzania’s President John Magufuli says he is sending a plane to Madagascar to collect some of the herbal tonic the Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina recently claimed could “prevent and cure COVID19.” The WHO says there’s no proof of a cure yet.President Magufuli said a number of people have been told they’ve tested positive for #COVID_19 when they were not. He said they’d also tested some fruits and livestock that turned out positive- pointing to a conspiracy by scientists colluding with imperialists.

Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA) has warned fishermen and individuals with small boats to avoid some parts of Lake Victoria due to bad weather.The 24-hour forecast for fishermen on Lake Victoria shows that isolated thunderstorms and moderate winds blowing from the Southwest and small waves are expected in Kyotera and Southwestern part of the water body.
Heavy thunderstorms are expected in Buvuma, Mgingo and the rest of the Northeast.
Over the last three months, many shores of Lake Victoria in Kalungu, Masaka, Kalangala, Entebbe, Wakiso and Kampala have been submerged, displacing hundreds of people.
Below are precautions for small craft users issued on Sunday morning:
- Seriously consider postponing your boat trip until the weather and lake conditions have improved.
- If you do go to the lake, check that the boat is seaworthy and of standard length (at least 28 feet).
- Ensure that everyone on board is wearing a life jacket and has fastened it securely before you leave the landing site.
- Wear a raincoat to stay dry and protect yourself from colds and other illnesses.
- Avoid overloading the boat. Ensure that the cargo and passengers are well balanced.
- Do not take more passengers or cargo than you are authorised to carry
- If the boat has an engine, carry plenty of spare fuel. Motor boats use more fuel in rough weather

Authorities are considering suspending ferry services to Kalangala Islands over rising water levels on Lake Victoria.Over the last three months, many shores of Lake Victoria in Kalungu, Masaka, Kalangala, Entebbe, Wakiso and Kampala have been submerged, displacing hundreds of people.
According to Alex Tuhaye, the Captain of MV Pearl, one of the ferries managed by Kalangala Infrastructure services (KIS), increasing water levels are likely to force the company to suspend services since the docking piers are submerged in water thus affecting smooth landing of the ferries at Bukakkata pier.
Currently, both ferries – MV Pearl and MV Ssese have no permanent docking points as sometimes passengers disembark from the nearby swamp towards the main gate to the pier as the main docking pier was abandoned a month ago.
On Friday, the government raised concern over the flooding on the lake, which it attributed to encroachment on river banks.
Dr Callist Tindimugaya, the water resources specialist in-charge of Lake Victoria management at the Ministry of Water and Environment, in an earlier interview said the lake is refilling its parts where it had receded from.
“When it rains, all the rain water from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and DR Congo comes into Lake Victoria and it does not come in one day. It travels through Kabale, Kagera, Ibanda, Ntungamo, Buhweju, which does not take one day,” he said, warning that encroachers should expect the water to invade them because it is reclaiming the place where it used to be.
“The wetlands which used to control the rate of water flow into the lake have been degraded and now the water is annoyed. It wants to reclaim its place and these are low lying lands compared to Lake Albert which has a steep gradient,” he said.
Dr Tindimugaya added that the floods could get worse due to the rains and increasing inflows from mainly River Kagera and other rivers that pour water into Lake Victoria.
Tindimugaya explained that water levels of 1964 were over 13 metres compared to the levels recorded in February at 12.9 metres and 12.8 metres last month.

POST COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECOVERY: WHAT IS THE SHORTEST ROUTE?As COVID-19 infection curves flatten in world’s most hit countries, it is evident that in the coming months, the world will be recovering from COVID-19 infections biologically. However, it will take much longer and a lot of efforts and strategies for world economies, including our very own Uganda, to recover from the economic effects of the virus. Therefore, the post virus recovery period will be dominated by pursuance of measures and efforts aimed at restoring economic sanity the world over.
Whereas in Uganda, as it stands, the virus is not likely to infect as many people as elsewhere in the world, nobody in any sector in the country is likely to be spared of its economic effects. This begs the question: What efforts or policies could help Uganda to attain a fast and sustainable recovery? This is a very important question that needs to be asked and answered by all those involved in the post COVID-19 economic recovery planning in the country, as the usual ‘copy and paste’ approaches of the northern hemisphere economies to economic challenges may not be the most efficient (as they indeed they have always been) in bringing about fast economic recovery in the settings of the southern hemisphere economies in which Uganda lies.
As Uganda seeks to invest (the said set aside) shillings 500 billion in various sectors of the economy to the post COVID-19 economic recovery, I argue that the answer lies in analyzing Uganda’s economic situation based on its unique characteristics to come up with Uganda-unique approaches. A look at the following parameters may help us to come up with country and situation fit approaches to our country’s post COVID-19 economic recovery. These include GDP/production analysis –understanding and supporting our main productive sectors that are likely to bring in quick incomes to the majority of individuals in the country and gunner enough demand to stimulate and sustain economic growth again. We also need to do our Trade analysis –so as to support exports that are likely to do well in the post COVID-19 world market (that will bring in cash in the economy) and to establish imports we can produce locally hence forth through import-substitution strategies (again, to save money outflow).
GDP/Production analysis
According to the Uganda Bureau of statistics (UBOS) in 2018/2019 financial year (the most recent available data) Uganda’s GDP stood at 128.5 trillion shillings (an equivalent of 36 billion Dollars at the time). Of this GDP, agriculture and primary extraction (forestry and fisheries) contributed 21%, with food production alone accounting for 10% (normally 12% on average); Industry (manufacturing, mining, electricity generation and construction) contributed 27% (the major contributors being manufacturing (15.5%, 16% in previous years) and construction (6.5%)); Services contributed a whopping 43% (these included trade (9%), real estate about (7%), plus transport, education, financial services Hotels and restaurants altogether contributing 14%).This GDP pattern can be collated with the pattern of Uganda’s exports in the same year showing that the country’s main exports were traditional cash crops (18%); Assorted foodstuffs (32%); assorted manufactured good (leather, textiles, footwear, electronics, etc) 29%; and minerals and mineral products (21%).
Agriculture and agricultural-output-related manufacturing contribute an average of 38% of GDP 50% of the country’s exports. Whereas services, mainly trade and transportation, contribute about 40% of the national GDP, about half of this is involved in the distribution chain of agricultural output –both raw materials and finished goods.
Production for export promotion
In terms of Uganda’s trading partners, UBOS statistics indicate that the country’s major export destinations in 2018 were: Kenya (20%), DRC (13%), South Sudan (11%), Rwanda (07%), Tanzania (02%) and Burundi (01%) –altogether East Africa making up 54% of Uganda’s export destination. This is our main export market. UAE and Europe also bought 26% of our exports at the split of 13% each. A side note: China imports less than of our total exports, a country where we import more that 20% of our total imports!From the foregoing analysis, it is apparent that promoting agricultural production will be key in accelerating post COVID-19 economic recovery. A substantial portion of the recovery investment should be injected at various levels of agricultural output value chain, mainly production (farmer level) and value addition (agro-processing industrial level).
Further, the fact that more than 50% of our exports are agricultural products (mainly foodstuffs) implies that in spite of the likely decline in worldwide demand, the demand for Uganda’s exports is likely not to be highly affected since food is a necessity. As matter of fact, Uganda has a chance of increasing her exports especially in UAE and Europe, where the market for food will most likely be among the first to rebound. For similar reasons we do not expect to experience much variation of our exports in the COMESA region. For this reason, deliberate support to the value chain of “food for export” production should go a long way in bringing fast and growing inflow of the much-needed foreign exchange in the post COVID-19 economic recovery.
Import substitution
There are many voices for boosting import substitution production in the post COVID19 pandemic economy to reduce outflow of the scarce foreign exchange, boast local employment, and reduce external dependence. These are certainly right and timely calls. More important is that a single unit purchased of a commodity creates a series of jobs and income along its value chain through the multiplier mechanism. As such, for every commodity we import, we create a series of jobs and associated income along its value chain plus the resultant wealth in the country of origin. The more we can liberate of such jobs and income, the more our country will grow. It is therefore, very important and paramount to produce at home as many and as much quantity of currently imported goods as possible. However, what products can we substitute easily in the short run?A glance at Uganda’s 2018 import statistics from UBOS suggests at least 40% of our imports consist of petroleum (20%) as well as industrial equipment and raw materials (about 20% too). These are not easy to substitute in the short run as they are natural resource and technology based. However, another 40% consists of products that we already make here but import non-the-less. These include, sugar and sugar products, processed and packed vegetables, textiles, paper products, cereals, soap and detergents, fertilizers, and other easy to produce products. Therefore, boosting local production of such commodities (to fill the gap normally filled by importation of these commodities) and ideological orientation of local consumers to consume local products, can see Uganda reduce her imports by 40%.
However, in selecting the products for whose production has to be boosted or introduced locally, care has to be taken not to rush to those products that will require importation expensive equipment which will in fact lead to more foreign exchange outflow. It is better to support increase in capacity and variety of the products already produced locally and especially those that use local raw materials. The purpose here is to make sure there is a net gain in foreign exchange retention out any import substitution expenditure.
Of particular target should be development of cottage industries, as they require not so large amounts of capital and technology yet they are fast at spreading employment.In terms of which products deserve how much support, an assessment of the current production capacity vis-a-vis the net demand (current local demand, exports and what has been previously imported) can be a great guide to answering this question. The objective would be to push each industry to satisfy the anticipated new level of demand, after importation of similar products has been stopped.
Further, considering that this is a liberal economy and due to various limitations to regulating international trade, especially retaliation, importers of these products need be engaged to practice patriotism and stock Ugandan products and reduce or completely stop importation of such products. This will ensure a friction-less policy implementation.
The Service sector
The service sector has very many players and of different sizes. It is therefore not easy for a direct government intervention. The best way to intervene in this sector is to avail the player’s easy access to finance. This finance can come in form of cheap loans from financial intuitions. Thus, the best intervention mechanism here is for the government to enter into arrangements with financial institution to offer cheap credit micro enterprises in the services sector. One of such tools is of course cutting the central bank lending rate to as low as can achieve the desired out come in the financial market.A detailed (numerical) analysis of the above scenarios in terms of input versus resultant benefits should help guide the distribution of relief funds. What is also apparent is that the 500bn shilling budget may be a meager amount to stimulate the urgently needed recovery in the shortest time possible. That examination too will be up to those in charge to make.

Speaker Rebecca Kadaga and her MPs should not try to think Ugandans are stupid.Kadaga and her MPs are crying wolf that the Executive and Judiciary are undermining them. However, you should know that Parliament has perpetuated impunity for as long as I can remember.
Parliament behaves like it’s beyond question.
So many silly things happen in Parliament and actually the Executive has been tolerant.
It’s not the first time Kadaga has felt bigger than any authority in our country.She previously abused the courts by calling a court order stupid. She used continually use her position to abuse the judiciary in not one but many ways.
Just recently she ordered the Clerk of Parliament to lock the Office of Chris Obore.
She forced the Itesot man to go on leave and she even ignored the court injunction that was issued.A senior person in the judiciary told me how Kadaga called all the big shots in the judiciary asking them to “dismiss” Obore’s application saying `I am tired of that man.”
Rumors also indicate she called the Attorney General ( the very man she also abused ) telling him to ensure Obore loses the case because she doesn’t want him.
After the leave ended, Kadaga again told the poor man from Teso to stay away from the office!
The man is now seen on social media rotting in the village because Kadaga has decreed that he must not work in parliament.
Where is the good governance Kadaga talks about ?If you can fight a small man like Obore and cause his family suffering then what leader are you ?
Museveni knows wars to fight not civil servants. Kaguta even helps his enemies when he sees them weak and suffering.
Kadaga chaired the Parliamentary Commission that interviewed and recruited Obore.Kadaga knows Obore was recruited by Parliament and minutes to that extent exist but she uses her tribemate at IGG to write a report to justify her interest in unfairly sacking the iteso man.
Yet even IGG did not expressly say sack the man but the report said Parliament should review their recruitment process.
Is Obole the recruitment process ? Was he the one in charge of recruitment of himself ?
She later turns around to soil the man that he has no papers.Who doesn’t know that Obore graduated with a Masters at UMI?
She wants the Itesot out of parliament because she was told he is not loyal to her.
Imagine !A commissioner told me she asked all of them to support her and resolve to sack Obore.
If you can rudely treat a civil servant then what have you done to your political opponents ?Internally , things in parliament are not smooth as no one dares to be perceived by Kadaga as not supporting her.
Staff have to tread very carefully.These MPs shouting that parliament is under attack , do you even know what goes on in Parliament?
Do you even know how your committee budgets are used ?
Mwe we are not kids.Telling us that Executive is stealing more money is like saying you have failed in your work. Why were you elected ? To pass money that is stolen?

Maziba Primary School at verge of collapse yesterday after heavy rainfall
Speaker Rebecca Kadaga and her MPs should not try to think Ugandans are stupid.
Hon. Jalia Bintu, took items (posho & jerrycans) she bought & labelled using 19m from the 20m ‘BRIBE’ with the respective receipts, to the Masindi Task Force but they rejected the items, claiming the president said they should only receive the 20 millions in cash. Stay home stay safe!
