Learnt with sorrow, the passing of Prof. Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile, a distinguished economist who served Uganda in different capacities before rising to position of Governor @BOU_Official. On my behalf and on behalf of @NUP_Ug, I send condolences to his family and loved ones.

We arrived in Jinja in broad daylight to a massive and peaceful reception by our friends here. I wonder why police waited for darkness to fall before starting to carry out these evil plans! We shall overcome!

Museveni uses the same tools of violence, intimidation & the law against whoever dares to challenge his rule. Dr. @kizzabesigye1 was charged with rape, terrorism, treason & possession of firearms! What they're doing to us is expected.

Late last night in hospital, we checked on our brother Hamiddu Muyoodi who was brutally beaten by regime enforcers. They hit him several times with a baton on the head causing him to bleed. They also hit his abdomen. The criminals will sure pay for these crimes against humanity!
1234
For despots to rule, they must keep the population poor, ignorant and landless! Disempowered! President Museveni has been deliberate about these. The reason he fights our microphone so much is b'se we use it to awaken & empower the people. Too bad for him, we are determined!

It feels like a special Easter gift for me, thank you Oscar. twitter.com/Oscar_Ntege1/s…

On this 58th independence anniversary, may we all re-commit ourselves to those values which make a nation great- justice, love, unity! I salute those who have made immense sacrifices to build. There is more work to do and together we shall make Uganda truly independent and free!

Deepest condolences to the people of Tanzania & East Africa on losing this noble statesman. President Benjamin Mkapa served his nation diligently & retired peacefully. He cherished democracy. We salute him for his contribution towards the integration of East Africa. Rest well

This old man mostly goes by the name #TaataBobi. He recently spent 2 weeks at Kirinya Prison in Jinja for participating in a prayer event alongside other comrades. Since then, he has not been feeling well. Today, we paid him a visit at his home in Nsaggu, Wakiso District.

What an amazing night. Thanks for the amazing support for Dr. @JChameleone. Kyarenze mu Sabasaba

Gen. Museveni and his pathetic hypocrisy. In every town, our people are brutalised, teargassed and arrested for gathering to wave at us. On the other hand, Museveni hires people, dresses them in t-shirts and parades them on streets under police protection #WeAreRemovingADictator

The supporters insisted that we walk to the venue of today's rally in Arua and so we did

I shall not kneel before you. I shall not be cowed by your acts of terror. The forces of evil may be so fearsome, but they never win in the end. One day, God being our help, you shall fall like all the other tyrants who came before you.

The news of the passing of Sheikh Anas Kaliisa, renowned Muslim scholar and senior political analyst is very shocking and sad. I extend sympathies to his family, the media fraternity and all Ugandans who are affected by this tragedy.

Finally, after ten days of trying in vain to see my brother Hon. Zaake, I've seen him at Rubaga Hospital where he was rushed on release. He's still in too much pain, but at least out of their hands. The Museveni regime will never have the last laugh. The People of Uganda will!

Empty talk! While Mwenda and his ilk put on full military uniforms in full view of cameras, we still have hundreds of our people in jails for over a year, for allegedly donning a #PeoplePower beret which Museveni chose to call military attire. Others were summarily executed! twitter.com/ntvuganda/stat…

Pleased to spend some time with the newly elected Guild President of Kyambogo University, Comrade Wafula Edrine Koholo and his team. We had an interesting conversation about the historical mission of this generation.

This evening, our brother and comrade in the struggle Hon. Francis Zaake Butebi, Member of Parliament for Mityana Municipality, was abducted while in traffic jam, and taken into custody at the Central Police Station.
