If you join politics at a senior level, such as an editor, you should have trained many journalists so that your departure doesn’t leave a gap. When a journalist leaves the newsroom with all their expertise and knowledge untapped, it can be detrimental- @derrickwandera2,

We have been speaking English this morning and making sense of some of the matters that are in the public domain.
If money isn’t the reason journalists are moving into politics, then what should it be? If you cannot manage your career in the newsroom by creating impact, it raises questions about the kind of leader you might become- @derrickwandera2 , NMG journalist.#MorningAtNTV

For me Karooro was very instrumental in shaping my understanding of Uganda's history and literature especially after I read his book The Invisible Weavel. I deeply fell in love with where Uganda came from and where it's heading. We have lost a great soul.
Language is one of the most influential tools that have shaped humanity’s direction. It has been used to craft laws that help human beings coexist, and also to craft laws that oppress us. It has been used to write religious texts that speak to our vulnerabilities and offer

How Pres @IsaacSsemakadde solved the Nsereko problem and ended a political career. Everybody should learn to ask the producer who else is coming for a show before they show. Forinstance, that night, the good Hon should have just developed diarrhea and not show up for the show.
Tula wansi, @MuhamadNsereko1. Tujja kuyita…. After this beating, you’ve never recovered. Even in 100 years, this clip will be played in homesteads and law schools across the country as an example of a spineless politician, lawyer and legislator who could and should have done
