Highlighting climate change, hunger, youth unemployment, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, diseases and poverty as some of the pressing issues, he called upon world leaders to always listen to divergent views to promote peace and harmony in society.

“Instead of using that idle energy to fight senseless wars, when there are avenues for making peace, why don’t you spare that idle energy to fight the strategic threats,” Brig. Gen Balya said.

While hosting a cocktail reception ceremony at the Palm Africa Hotel in Juba on Friday, October 21, 2022 to celebrate Uganda’s 60 Independence Anniversary, Uganda’s Ambassador to South Sudan, Brig. Gen. Ronnie Balya called on nations to tackle global tensions saying they are harmful to internati...

https://explorer.co.ug/wizards-and-witches-masquerading-in-the-opposition/ We can fight and play in politics but when it comes to the demise of a citizen, we are all called to extend humane eulogies and also allow experts to follow up any doubtable circumstances surrounding a person’s death. Ignorant speculation sows confusion and brings unnecessary distress among bereaved families.

Uganda’s opposition has tendencies of wizardry (obusezi). They enjoy what has gone bad (bagala ebyononese); other people’s pain and tears are their joy. The coming of social media has made them bolder and daring to an extent that a day without posting sadistic news is a loss to them. Take the ca...

Politicians can still do better. Seeking relevance at all cost is not enough. Let them criticize bad leadership when they can demonstrate that they can usher in great leadership.

Leading the campaign was Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, the most trending Catholic politician. Kyagulanyi alluded to Archbishop Lwanga’s outspoken criticism of government’s excesses, suggesting it could have led to his death. On Easter eve, Ugandans woke up to the shocking and sad news of the...

NRM has also promoted other sources of energy including solar, geothermal, nuclear, thermal and bagasse energy. We are currently faced with a ‘good problem’ — surplus electricity. Total demand including exports was 680MW in June 2020, providing a surplus of close to 1,160MW. However, this surplus will be no more with increased industrialization, improved transmission, reduced costs, and efficiency in distribution. We are now dealing with the challenges of industrialization, transmission, distribution and cost.

Amidst a multitude of problems that Uganda faced, inadequate infrastructure was particularly serious before the NRM came on to the scene. The country faced huge infrastructural gaps ranging from rampant electricity outages (load shedding), roads with potholes as well as few, expensive and unreliable...

This is to deliberately create a false belief among the electorate that their victory was stolen, for them to remain relevant to their funders and of course raising their rate card in case the elected Government is interested in a coalition.

https://explorer.co.ug/bobi-wines-coming-tears/ Ten days to the election, let us look at the numbers. Bobi Wine’s biggest source of support are youths, but predominately male youths in urban and semi urban areas. Also, youth (people aged 18-30 years) are the largest segment of our population.

However, the most critical questions for Bobi Wine and his confederates are two: first, are these youths registered to vote; and second, for those who are registered, how many show up to vote. The answers to these two questions are of decisive importance in determining the fortunes of the opposition’s main candidate.

Rtd Col Dr Kizza Besigye has said is deeply concerned by the manner in which the two presidential aspirants, Patrick Oboi Amuriat and Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine have blatantly defied the COVID19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during their mass campaign rallies hence exposing many naïve Ugandans to COVID19.

Dr. Besigye, a medical doctor by profession, said he was “intensely” concerned about the crowds being pulled by the two candidates.
