With ALL due respect, Dr @DrMusenero,
DEI BioPharma is not, has never been and likely will never be, Africa's largest and most competent Pharmaceutical manufacturing Company.
That honor belongs to South African pharmaceutical conglomerate, Aspen Pharmacare Holdings Limited.
Their history goes back to 1850!
Honorable Minister, let’s please have some basic respect for pedigree and most importantly, facts.
#DEIPharmaHeist
After a very engaged day serving the nation, I came to social media only to find, lots of excitement about my being beneficial owner of E-Bus Xpress. Today, I give you the facts. It is a legacy of my contribution to this great Nation. I dont know the intention of those who tried to paint it in the negative? Whatever they meant for evil, God has turned it into good. People serve as ministers for decades and have nothing to point to point back to - I have the honor to have left successful companies like Kira Motors, Africa's largest, most capable and most competent Electric Automotive Company, E-Bus Xpress, Uganda's Public Transport Transformation Platform: Dei Bipharma, Africa's largest and most competent Pharmaceutical manufacturing Company. A multitude of budding companies, Inspire Africa Coffee, Nonda Coffee, Made in Uganda, EDIC, CONAT, Africa's premier natural therapeutics platform, BIOMIC, an incubation platform for biomedical startups, supported companies like Kaziire transform their industries, but there is no space to hold it here.... My pledge to His Excellency and Government is to maximize eqch opportunity to Make Uganda the Best. Now but here below, proudly ....@KiiraMotors

30 years later, New York Times bestselling author Angie Martinez explains why now was the right time to share their conversation: netflix.com/tudum/articles/t…

People underestimate how REAL the beef was at this time…in the East Coast, they like to throw more subliminal shots…
Footage of when The Notorious B.I.G. freestyled “Long Kiss Goodnight” (2pac Diss) on LA Radio 5 months after 2pac’s death. A lot of fans believe that THIS was the reason why Biggie ended up getting murdered in LA on March 9th, 1997….

Tupac requested Angie Martinez to do a interview with him on May 19th or May 21st of 1996,the same day Pac did a interview with Vibe Magazine with Maureen Carter
Pac basically did two interviews with two big time Hip Hop media's Hot97 and Vibe Magazine
Hot97 higher ups and Puffy were upset about Angie Martinez flying out to LA to interview Pac...It was a whole 2hr interview that gotten edited down to 12 minutes...Tupac was disappointed with the way they edited the interview down when they aired it and he told Angie Martinez he wasn't mad at her about that

Mr. Wekesa we are not just making noise of course you’re not the only beneficiary. We are not stupid. In fact, we appreciate how far you have taken the tourism industry.
We are saying, with due respect sir the political environment could accelerate growth, potentially doubling tourism revenues from the current $1.62 Bn. According to MOFPED Ug government is targeting $5 Bn in annual tourism receipts by 2030.
But fix the politics and those numbers could even quadruple. How can you be home to over half of the world’s mountain gorillas, yet Rwanda’s gorilla tourism generates ~ $200M according to World Bank, btw with a smaller gorilla population but you register $25-$30M with a bigger gorilla population. You think this is magic? Politics politics, right now a tourist would rather go to Rwanda with no level 4 “red alert”🚨 to see gorillas 🦍 bypassing the largest population found in Ug.
UBOS says tourism directly employs about 876,512 workers in Ug 🇺🇬 , these are our brothers and sisters of course we understand how important it is for the industry to thrive.
Politics and economics are inseparable. You, Wekesa can’t accept this because you fear speaking up. If government does anything than can potentially affect tourism speak up not only during outbreaks, tell them you will have cash flow issues if they continue sending drones, torturing and abducting people, tourists will fear basements and drones. 😀

THE 30-CHICKEN PER HOUSEHOLD DREAM IS HAPPENING! 🐓🥚
We received another consignment of local chicken from our partners TK Poultry Farmers & Breeders!
Vision: 30 local chickens per household in Bamutakudde, so every family can produce local eggs & we market them TOGETHER at a premium price in supermarkets.
Yesterday we distributed the 2nd consignment! Household by household, we are creating income!
Thank you TK Poultry!

Thank you for your response.
I appreciate you advising that the maximum chargeable capacity is 36 tons and not 30 tons. This is very good because it gives us, the audience, a more accurate figure of capacity.
The two messages seem to deflect from the point of interest.
While the chargeable rates are changeable and approved by MOWT and other institutions as you have pointed out, I find it troubling that you are still reluctant to quote the spot rate for the concluded transaction to help us understand what revenue URC earned from the 36 tons per rail car.
Actually, you seem to enjoy prolonging the back-and-forth rather than being collaborative, forthcoming, and explicit. These are the inefficiencies in many government-affiliated institutions, the whole idea of referring someone from one office to another. Is it a lack of product knowledge, customer experience, or disengagement?
We are happy to analyse while we support URC as a whole and we believe that the leadership team is the right composition to drive the institution’s growth, but they should also be supported by an able team that is well-versed in the entity’s performance, product matrix and can work with the public to drive its growth.
Again, I politely ask, what was the cost of the 36 tons loaded onto the railcar for this concluded deal with Hima Cement Limited?

Which African countries have the most:
1. Opportunistic politicians and elites (who quickly shift principles and allegiances for personal gain)?
2. Sycophantic ones (who flatter the powerful to embarrassing levels just to win favour)?
3. Spineless/cowardly ones (who avoid taking principled stands out of fear)?

This man decided to contest for the LC1 Chairperson position, and we all bashed him, questioning why someone of his stature, a celebrated journalist, would settle for such a seemingly small political office.
The funniest thing about our society's priorities is that he won by just ONE VOTE!
Today, he is arguably setting a remarkable example of what LC1 leadership can look like.
He demonstrates that leadership is not necessarily about the size of the office, the resources at your disposal or the money in your pocket. It is about strategically leveraging the influence, networks and opportunities available to you for the benefit of the people you serve.
And imagine, this man literally earns no salary from this position!
Yet, in just five months, he has facilitated street lighting, parks, agricultural skills and various community projects without necessarily financing them from his personal pocket.
He has leveraged his visibility, built strategic partnerships, mobilised resources and, most importantly, demonstrated commitment to his community.
Now, think about the bigger picture. Imagine what this country could become if our leaders were willing to strategically leverage our natural endowments, human capital, visibility and networks to our advantage.
We have had some of the most highly remunerated batches of leaders, yet the country continues to grapple with corruption, inefficiency and poor service delivery.
In other countries, someone with his experience, networks, creativity and demonstrated ability to mobilise resources might be considered for a suitable ministerial portfolio on merit.
Here, instead of recognising and harnessing such potential, people with independent influence and the ability to mobilise communities can easily be perceived as threats to the government.
Perhaps we have misunderstood leadership for too long.
Leadership is not about how much money you earn from an office or how many resources you control. It is about how effectively you can mobilise what is available to transform the lives of the people you serve.
A BIG political career awaits this humble servant. 🫡

A S4 student who’s finished exams shud not be picked from school by the parents.

When the final paper is done, let him pack up his bag take a taxi / bus from Ntare , Mwiri and bring himself back home.
What’s growth supposed to mean if a child can’t even be trusted to navigate public transport without your help?

Your answer is here uncle Amos, I know you’ve done your job well to market Uganda, but we’re our own problem as a country.

Come on. You cannot seriously believe that the vehicle's safety system is the problem. It is not, and it never will be. The mere possibility that a driver might suffer a heart attack cannot be used as justification for disabling a safety feature designed to save lives. You also cannot bring in the factor that the driver and pedestrian can see each other and both know what is going to happen. It may be a culture in Uganda but not everywhere. Even in Uganda, not everyone does it.
Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB), also referred to as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection, exists for one reason: to protect pedestrians, who are the most vulnerable road users. These systems are specifically engineered to intervene when a collision is imminent and the driver fails to react in time. Turning them off defeats the very purpose for which they were designed.
I do not know where the vehicle was purchased. If it was bought from an authorised franchise holder and was intended for the Ugandan market, it should have come with a user manual. That manual should clearly explain how the PAEB system operates, including the circumstances under which it activates, its limitations, and the approximate distances at which warnings or braking interventions occur. As a responsible vehicle owner, that is the information you should be seeking so that you can understand the system and drive safely.
If, however, the vehicle was imported through a used-car dealer and the manual is in Japanese or the language of the market for which the vehicle was originally manufactured, then the sensible course of action is still not to switch the system off. Instead, spend some time researching how the technology works. There is a wealth of information available online that can help you understand its capabilities and limitations.
The solution to not understanding a safety system is not to disable it. Just educate yourself about it. Modern vehicle safety technologies have been developed through decades of research, engineering, and real-world crash data to save lives. Before considering switching off a system designed to prevent a pedestrian fatality, make the effort to understand how it works and how to operate the vehicle safely with it enabled. That is the responsible approach.

Black people will never be respected until they actually build communities, towns, and cities that are successful. As long as black people continue to whine about the past and demand handouts from white people, there will never be respect and it wouldn’t be deserved.
Respect comes from power and leverage. The black elites want an endless well of pity they can use to extract resources from.

I have read the first chapters of Gen. Saleh and Prof. Ogenga Otunnu's "Consociational Democracy Agreement." It rightly names the central question: how to end political exclusion along ethnic and tribal lines. Then it ducks the answer.
The NRM is presented as the cure, never the cause. Our history is told from the colonial "divide and rule" through Amin and Obote, and the NRM arrives in 1986 as "a sustained, if incomplete, effort" to fix it. Forty years on, sectarianism is more pronounced than ever. The NRM has multiplied the problem and now presents itself as the solution.
The elephant in the room is left out. Under "What Remains Unresolved" the paper lists the Electoral Commission, money in elections, Buganda's land, youth unemployment and education. There is not one word on the dominance of one ethnic group in strategic positions in the army, intelligence, civil service, parastatals, oil and all public spaces. That is the main sectarian cleavage of our time. A paper on sectarianism that cannot name it, co-authored by a man at the top of that patronage system, cannot be credible.
The paper says "let me be clear and honest about what the NRM period has achieved," but is silent on Obote I's achievements. It even finds room to praise Gen. Saleh's own land mediation in Kapeeka as "a model." Honesty that applies only to one side is not honesty.
The paper gets the history right: Amin's expulsion of the Asians was "a calculated appeal to genuine economic grievances" and "broadly popular." Today's populist war on corruption plays the same game. As the paper itself warns, "using sectarian cleavages for short-term political gain destroys the long-term conditions for national unity."
"When legitimacy is ethnic rather than institutional, no institution can function." Correct. That describes Uganda today, where loyalty to tribe and patron outranks loyalty to the State and the Constitution.
The irony: the paper condemns NRM–DP and NRM–UPC deals as "backroom deals between elites… negotiated in private, without the knowledge or consent of party members." So how was this document developed? It reads as the work of two men, asking all of us to accept it as the prescription for our problems.
National unity cannot be built on a history that absolves the regime holding the pen.
More tomorrow...
