Some Kenyans are imploring Odinga family to keep political legend Raila out of the public spotlight to save him public humiliation. Families preserve their legacy by keeping seniors from "senior moments." Moi&Ngugi wa Thiongo did this well. Best dancers know when to exit a stage.
DEAR MAMA IDA ODINGA When Kibaki’s family noticed he was mentally unwell, they kept him away from cameras. Moi’s dementia was hidden—only Gideon had access. Ngugi wa Thiong’o forgot his own books. His wife shielded him. Nobody interviews Ruto’s mother. Families protect their…
Listen to the guestimate candidates especially in @NRMOnline spend on primary elections. Classic commercialisation of politics. It is unsustainable as it breeds corruption. People may soon commit suicide.
"In 3days-1week, I spent Ugx 500,000,000 in elections."~Minister Anite Some other MP said they spent Ugx 600,000,000 on the election day. In Western Uganda, for one to win in the recent NRM primaries, a candidate needed between Ugx 1,500,000,000 to Ugx 2,000,000,000
Senior government officials who perennially arrive late at special events especially conferences, discussion panels where they represent @GovUganda cut a shabby image. Their arrival disrupts and pauses proceedings as they're seated, acknowleged and miced up only to go off script!
This month in Uganda history. You are responsible for your conclusion.
New report: The military now controls #Uganda. “The 1995 Constitution’s promise that “power belongs to the people” has been systematically hollowed out. Instead, what remains is a state increasingly governed by soldiers, not civilians observer.ug/news/new-repor…
It's said even a dead clock can tell the correct time atleast twice a day. Mufti Ramathan Mubajje was that clock tellling @KagutaMuseveni the bitter truth about the myth Parish Development Model #PDM is. His flunkeys will roll, neigh&whine in denial, but they too know the truth.
Kenyans are shocked by the unprecedented level of #nepotism in #Uganda's ruling class. Midway the gentleman gives up and switched to swahili saying the list is too long and exhausting concluding government is family run with one god and Ugandans only think of eating matoooke.
When God closed a door, he opens a window.
Some family 👇🏾 here invited me in UK 🇬🇧 I'll be going to United Kingdom ✈️ for the first time in my life, X platform can change someone's life 😭🙌🏽
The spectacular mess from the @NRMOnline primaries not only leaves the image of the chaiman of its electoral commission Tanga Odoy in tatters, it blows to smithereens NRM's comical declaration of having registered 18m-20 million people (43% of Uganda population) on its register!
I participated in a TEAMS call that had #Japanese participants. Their renowned humility aside, it's their names that leave you smiling. Today we had: Toyoda, Honda, Suzuki, Mukasa&a Kato! The last two are shared with Ugandans; the rest made me think about fine car engineering.
The veil is over. We now have the Rwakitura Kingdom in charge of Uganda! The baton is passed from father to son and grand sons. For new comers here is a timeless prediction piece by Andrew Mwenda pf March 2009. independent.co.ug/farewell-repub…
The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, is on cloud nine after his son, Ruhamya Kainerugaba, joined the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) last month. #VisionUpdates newvisionapp.page.link/m4BoopErjjtm2V…
Some systems weren't built to serve people. They were built to stay corrupt. #CORRUPTION keeps power in hands of afew.Corruption doesn't help a country grow. It holds it back!Only those who can pay advance. The rest stay behind excluded. The rich hold the strings. Country loses!

Something that has become a norm i Uganda politics and specifically elections is the growing prominence and influence of the @MODVA_UPDF army members of the first family in the country, the latest being in the violent Lwemiyaga primaries. It doesn't augur well. @UgandaEC
Some independent minded journalist there! No buts or "allegedly." A true Kenya export to the world!
