HAPPENING NOW: Police driver @PoliceUg was trying to chase pedestrians off the walk way. He fell into a ditch (manhole- he broke the cover). He will need a winch to get out. God or Karma?

Social security ain't what NSSF pays u when u retire. It is the society you retire into. If, during our active work life, we rob them of social services, it won't matter if our benefits are taxed on not. We will retire to a robbed, deprived, angry society. Let that sink in.
