Some further concerns on independence of the judiciary. We protest the Attorney General advising the Chief Justice and giving a directive to the courts. We also protest the AG’s advice and directive being forwarded to all High Court judges.

@CapitalFMUganda There is freedom of expression especially in holding leadership accountable. In what sense did Nanfy use the term ‘corruption’? (See Transparency International definition below). Which gangster on the show is ‘impartial’?

The assumption that President has since become ‘vulnerable’ because of age is https://t.co/KX3kFMc8Sm many scandals have been passing right under his nose even during that time he still had the ‘gas’ to do 20+ decent pushups (forget those lockdown ones).
The coffee scam revelations made by Kabushenga point to one thing. The aging President is surrounded by greedy opportunists who lie to him and take advantage of his poor judgment. The coffee export projects should be done by Ministry of Trade and not schemers around M7.
