The deployment, arrests & stopping of our belated international Women's Day Celebrations at Bekiina in Busujju Country, Mityana District is another example of the abuse of power & continued terrorization of Ugandans with impunity by security agencies. We must rise up to end this.
I am part of a team of the Shadow cabinet led by the LOP

His health condition is worrying. It is saddening that he has been denied access to a medical facility of his choice.

He has demonstrated that he has the wherewithal to push the

We demand that the money proposed to be given to vulnerable persons be increased to a reasonable sum from 100,000/= to at least 200,000/= to help households survive.

Today’s headline ought to read: “New appointment given to the most qualified, deserving person,” with a large photograph of you. The story would go on to describe your accomplishments and why you’re a perfect fit for this post. Although I can’t arrange for that, I can say congs!

We have had a fruitful meeting with

to devise strategies of increasing electricity access and addressing power reliability issues in Mityana district.
As leaders, Umeme has asked us for legislative support in the fight against power theft and vandalism in the country.

After dismissing reports that government is abducting citizens and accounting for only 44 arrested persons, the Minister of Internal Affairs Gen Jeje Odongo has now let the cat out of the bag and admitted that the government has in custody 177 NUP supporters. This is a shame!

I have no evidence but I know Joyce Bagala bribed voters, Nabakooba tells court. Asked to present DR forms to show that she was cheated, the Lands minister said she didn't have any. On bribery allegations, she said she was simply told by her agents

She became ill at the start of our term of office. God is good. She has steadily recovered and she will soon be back to perform her duties.
To everyone who has attended my granny's funeral & all friends that have offered me condolences through various platforms. Each one of you has been a pillar of support during this difficult time. It means a lot to my family.
Thank you for your kindness. Wummula Mirembe Jjaaja.
As the Shadow minister for Information & Anti-Corruption i am honored to have been designated and approved to sit on Parliament's committee on ICT and National Guidance and the Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) respectively.
The rationale for bail is derived from the constitutional presumption of innocence. The criminal justice system presumes a person charged with a criminal offence to be innocent until proved guilty.
As
@NUP_Ug
we shall therefore resist any attempt to scrap off bail from our laws.
The hearing of a case challenging my victory in the Mityana dist. woman MP race by my arch-rival

@NUP_Ug
Mps and District Council Leaders from Mityana to deliberate on the way forward for our district as far as dev't is concerned and to prepare for any eventuality regarding our 2021 election victory that sore losers are trying to play with.
I am not moved by the unexplained decision of the Deputy Speaker to suspend me from attending the next 3 Parliament plenary sittings.
We have a duty to show the world how security agencies are brutalizing innocent Opposition supporters and dehumanizing their leaders.

I today led a group of Opposition Women Members of Parliament who appeared before Parliament's Committee on Presidential Affairs to present our petition regarding the misconduct of RDCs and Security Agencies and the gross violation of women's rights to associate and assemble.
We paid a courtesy call on the youngest LC5 Chairperson in Uganda, Martin Ssejjemba, the Mpigi District boss who is only 28 years. He stood & won on the

This as we kick-started our Buganda region tour to ascertain the key issues affecting Kabaka's subjects.
I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have received already, with some voters and supporters advising us to appeal the high court ruling while others want us to go back to the ballot and we assert our power and will.
In the next few days, we shall announce our way forward.

I chaired the government assurances Committee this morning, to follow up on regime promises from different sectors. The controversial Lubowa specialised hospital, equipping other health units with CT scans and upgrading HCIIs to HCIIIs, are some of the areas we’re starting with.
We want gov't to give us an update on the development of Aki-Bua Stadium in Lira, that was submitted on the list of stadia for Uganda to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Aki-Bua Stadium in Lira was one of the issues raised in Uganda’s bid to host AFCON in 2027.
