Lawyer, Author (Beyond The Chants), Guild President Law Development Center 2021.
Deputy President FDC & a Champion for an Inclusive Youth-led Change in Uganda.
I've been nominated to run for FDC Party President.
This process has raised more questions than answers partly because of failure by the current leadership of the party to properly handle internal contradistinctions.
Watch this video for my views!
I am one of the few parents who cannot take a child into holiday schooling (mine are still in lower primary).
If I had powers,I would even stop the teachers from giving my kids homework everyday.
Yes, we are there with our minority view 😂😂
I had just finished my Bachelor of Laws Degree at UCU in 2011. While discussing with my parents on the way forward, they resolved to put together some capital for me which I used to set up a hardware shop in Kitintale(a Kampala suburb).
Bussiness went on well but on one fateful
Fifteen years(15) ago while I was campaigning for Guild President at Uganda Christian University (UCU), I spotted her amongst other ladies at a meeting that we were having in their hostel common room. I asked a member of my campaign team to get her contact,
Museveni will never achieve his mission of finishing opposition. Opposition is not the opposition party leaders that M7 can buy, opposition is the people of Uganda that are dissatisfied with the failure by Mr Museveni regime to deliver on their mandate to transform this country.
With my family, we made a courtesy visit to
@kizzabesigye1
.
The grandchildren entertained their grandfather with songs, stories and gave him good company 😊🤣.
More blessings to you our dear president.
For the years I have followed Dr Besigye, I have only seen him become teary twice. The first time was during the 2011 election campaign in the Karamoja district of Kabong as he tried to explain the role of the regime in the death of his brother Musasizi.The second one is today😭
God is good.
God is good
God is good.
The eight years detention is finally over.
Mugumya Sam is out but four more colleagues are still serving their sentences.
Efforts to secure the freedom of everyone continue.
We shall overcome!
I had attempted to be academic, trying painfully to make sense of the coffee deal until Dr
@kizzabesigye1
reminded us of the concept of state capture and the workings of the shadow state. Now am settled,i cant expect much from coffee deal.
I've renewed my driving permit. If that office was open for tourists,it's where I would have taken my none Ugandan friends to brag about Uganda's blueprint for an efficient public service
No exploitative blockers, respect for decorum by staff
Proud Ugandan 4 once🤣
@MoWT_Uganda
My dia wife and I have today graced the occasion of the wedding of Comrade Hon Zaake Francis
@ZaakeFrancis
in Mityana district.
There are over 40,000 guests here🤣🤣, all the movers and shakers are here.
Wishing my brother and his dia wife a happy and blessed marriage.
@KakwenzaRukira
@MathiasMpuuga
Actually I believe that NEC is aware of everything including the legal uphill task.
What they are seeking to achieve is the politics , to publicly distance themselves from actions of the former LOP. He may stay a commissioner but not with their blessings.
My view just
Hon Jonathan Odur the current MP for Erute County South(UPC) is a very excellent legislator. Iam a regular follower of live proceedings in the House and I find him to be above an average MP in the 11th parliament.Most times when he makes his submissions, one feels represented.
Get well soon Mzee Museveni.
Over 20 years now I have been working with other comrades to see you out of power. But we have always maintained the use of democratic and nonviolent ways of regime change.
I don't benefit from your deteriorating health as any sudden &undemocratic
As a mukiga🤣, even in Kampala i plant & eat sweet potatoes all year round.
Food security in a home was one of the fundamentals that my parents emphasized. Dry food was stored in the granary/later store & fresh food in gardens eg sweet potatoes & cassava. Friends are welcome 🤣
Dr
@kizzabesigye1
returns to Rukungiri to raise morale among FDC party members and mobilise for regime change.
The rally is taking place in Rukungiri stadium this afternoon.
By the Grace of God, I have made 42 years today.
I thank God for the gift of life, good health and all the blessings I have received.
Going forward, God Take The Wheel!
Amen 🙏
My dia wife Rebecca has stood with me throughout my political journeys since our university politics days.
I was greatly honoured to be in her company at the recently concluded FDC Lugogo conference and she sends greetings to all FDC party members.
Raaaaaa ✌️✌️
.....and we are now husband and wife.
Join me in celebrating the birthday of this special person in my life.
Ruhanga agume akurinzire Kandi akuhereze emigisha my good friend
My dad and mum.
If any of us their six children end up being a criminal or trouble causer somewhere, it will NEVER be blamed on Canon na'omukyara'we for poor parenting .
This couple has executed the obligations of responsible parents very well. God bless them with good health.
We shall officially start our grassroot mobilisation this Sunday with Greater Mukono , particularly in Kayunga district. Elections are in November, 3 months from now.
We are moving forward✌️✌️

congratulations upon becoming a Minister.
I am additionally excited about what appears to be a "good working relationship" between you and Ugandan Ambassador

Happy Fathers' Day to fellow fathers.
A father may not carry pregnancy for nine months, but he is always pregnant with family needs, dreams and visions of a better future.
May God strengthen all Fathers and give us the Grace to love and provide for our families.
But why is everyone talking about how Comrade

has put sense in Mr Ssemujju's head during today's capital gang and no one is talking about her lovely smile?? 😊

was born today. Apart from my parents, there has not been a single person that has over the years had a powerful positive impact on my adult life like this friend of mine.
Because of him, I have learnt to live intentionally.
Hbd my President 🙏
Then you hear some little knowledgeable people saying that Dr
@kizzabesigye1
faded 😂😂😂😂.
See how the crowd is welcoming his speech at the Soroti East
@FDCOfficial1
rally .
Teso subregion is being reclaimed, like it was in 2006.
FDC district Chairpersons from Ankore and Kigezi subregions today converging in Mbarara today have condemned the manner in which Dr Besigye (the FDC founding father) is being unfairly treated by the Secretary General and the Party president together with their agents.
In the 4th last paragraph,my brother
@Kalinaki
has described exactly what is happening in our,"People's Republic of Nsasa". Each home is putting 4M to raise money for a tarmac road to our estate, we are paying monthly contributions for security, we hire graders to repair the
Throughout my campaign 4 President of FDC,I was preaching the need for tolerance, dialogue, forgiveness and reconciliation as the only way to resolve the FDC crisis. The solution is not in the law because it's not the failure of law that led us to where we are,it's bad politics
Kampala Entebbe Expressway cost was U.S. $476 million and the investor is expected to collect all his money within 8 years .
Nakivubo Stadium reconstruction by Hajji Kigundu has cost U.S. $200 million and he has a lease of 49 years to get back all his money.
@TheMutaD
hey ?
I have made 38 years today. During my youthful years, i have done the best of my abilities to be a son, a professional, a husband ,a friend and above all, a patriotic citizen.
Am grateful to God, my parents and to all of you people whom i have met in my journey.
Am on my up!
Dr Besigye has arrived in Soroti East amidst celebrations by our supporters. Earlier in the day, he was surrounded by police in Jinja only for the good Colonel to use guerilla tactics and disappear from tight security 🤣🤣😂.
A friend of mine who sells tiles at Nakasero today asked me "If I pay import duty while importing tiles, why am I also charged Value Aded Tax and yet am selling the product as it was imported? Which value have I added that I am being charged VAT for?"
Traders are very bitter!
@GabrielBuule
Comrade Buule, I think let's not rush to crucify the man.
If he called a press conference anywhere else and he personally spoke out , it would have been a different story.
But the gentleman is speaking from the premises of a military barracks.
You know better what this means 🤣

#BeyondTheChants
Am happy to have been present during the consultative meeting by FDC members.
We love the FDC party more than we love our dia leaders.
We can therefore afford to sacrifice a member or a leader in office for the sake of keeping the party on course.✌️✌️✌️
I think it would make the sport meaningful if Morocco and Croatia meet at the finals of the world cup and then our African brothers (Morocco) wins the world cup.
Let's hope for the best.
Colleagues especially those in the legal fraternity, it's with a heavy heart that I announce the death of my colleague at Katuntu and Company Advocates who has died in an accident in Palisa while returning from court.
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
My decision to stay in FDC at Najanankumbi doesn't mean that I intended to be part of Amuriat's hegemony.
This clip is from my pinned tweet,my campaign in the last party elections.
I've been an advocate for reforms and internal reorganization because I love my party,it's my home
The situation of my brother Hon
@MwijukyeFrancis
is currently being managed at Nakasero Hospital by professionals. The main issue at the moment is the head injuries and the resultant effect on his brain 🧠. We pray that God gives him complete healing 🙏
It's been a pleasure meeting Dr
@SarahBireete

Thank you Dr for serving Ugandans well, cheers.
Thank you to all
@FDCOfficial1
party members who turned up for the conference at Lugogo.
Special thanks to the 187 voters (in the absence of my home districts of Ankore & Kigezi subregions) who considered & voted me as the best choice for party president.
Regardless we move on.
I have got myself into the habit of walking away from office for lunch to enable me stretch.
This business of sitting the whole day attending to endless assignments....,I still love my back 😂
I know Dr
@kizzabesigye1
as an honest gentleman that speaks carefully.
Today he chose not to divulge details regarding infiltration insisting it's under investigation and he has appeared before the committee.
Otherwise I know his home has CCTV cameras if footage was required.
I this afternoon paid a courtesy visit to a Statesman Hon Dr Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere at his home in Rubaga.
26 years ago when he came to campaign for President in Rukungiri, I carried the chair 🪑 to Rukungiri stadium which he sat on during the meeting with supporters.

Myself with Hon Mwijukye Francis on special duties, on the day when People's President Dr Besigye returned from Nairobi Hospital and millions of people welcomed him along Kampala streets. We have overcome many situations to be where we are, looking forward to a bright future.
@norbertmao
FRUSTRATED (Because the only constitutional safeguards to a peaceful transfer of power/peaceful transition; which were term limit and age limit were dramatically removed from the constitution ).

@DoreenNyanjura
,the Deputy Lordmayor of Kampala and Hon Mwijujye Francis, MP for Buhweju.
We hope that today we shall go home with our president.
The best option for the embattled party leaders involved in the moneygate scandal would be not to make any further attempts to give lame explanations in the media hoping to prove themselves clean but rather simply quietly handover offices and let the forensic audit take course.
Accomodation rates in Soroti City have gone up especially for some of us who prefer to sleep in a facility with CCTV cameras for security reasons during such activities.
Nonetheless, we have camped here till Attan is declared winner.
@STwinoburyo
I don't know why a good person, well intentioned , self driven and hardworking like you should be unfairly target by such people.
Nashaasha really.
I think the best way to revenge is to organize myself and buy a bag from you.
I will find the right moment and fulfill this.
This is inside the Kigali Convention Center .
I think some of us will only be happy when we see something like this in Kampala.
This other thing we are being shown in Munyonyo has not appealed to some of us.
It's our 8th wedding anniversary today. Join me in congratulating my dia wife for the journey we have moved together sofa.
You and our four daughters are my world🥰
After deep reflection and consideration , I have this afternoon notified the Uganda Electoral Commission of my intentions to run for President of Uganda and therefore the need to start countrywide consultations . I look forward to a fruitful campaign.
For God and my Country.
I recall the time when late Jacob was serving as Deputy Speaker under Hon Kadaga and the office politics that ensued throughout this tenure. Clearly,Oulanya had all color of muscle to push back but he chose to let Kadaga have all the space she needed. He chose & loved peace🙏🏽🙏🏽
Today I paid a courtesy visit to the mother of Comrade Mugumya Sam at her home in Rukungiri.
In our old good days, this lady fed and accommodated many activists who came to Rukungiri for various activities.
She is strong and wishing you all a Mery Xmas and happy new year.
Joshua Mutabaazi , former
@NUP_Ug
candidate in Kisoro has formally joined NRM & campaigned openly 4 Eddie Kwiizera (NRM) at Nkuringi Town Council.
I think now I agree with someone who observed that NRM is on a mission to deny NUP an opportunity to have presence outside Buganda

Today the FDC Katonga heads to Mityana on a mobilisation tour.
Byona mubikore but my innocent view is that we should work on mechanisms that keep all FDC members in one party as we push the Naja administration to reconsider their ugly path and accept reconciliation.
Yes We Can!
The crowds welcome Dr

He has begun his speech by thanking God, emphasizes that before God we are all equal. Goes on to thank Teso subregion for the strong support they have given him and the
