Police in Kampala metropolitan area is in pursuit of a young man who stormed the NRM offices and decided empty his tummy on a visitor’s metallic seat. This incident happen during the nation wide Free Bobi Wine protests that saw turmoil all over Metropolitan Kampala.
This act has meant various forms of criticism across the political divide. In a televised interview, re known political analyst and former presidential advisor, Tamale Mirundi had told his audience the evils done by many officials who want to stain the image of his former boss can only be solved by witch craft. In just a few days after his remarks, the incident of bogging in the NRM office happened.
Activist Nana Mwafrica Mbarikiwa through her facebook page relatedbsuch an incidence as a signal of how Ugandans are tired of the iritating regime of Mr. Rutahaburwa Museveni. She added that such an incidence is a very strong message in Africa that should not be taken lightly.
Uganda’s defence minister Gen Elly Tumwine has affirmed military orchestrated violence ans murder of innocent Ugandans in the past two days of the Free Bobi Wine protests all Uganda that saw the death of over 35 innocent civilians.
There were cases of un uniformed individuals holding guns and firing at opposition politicians all over manor cities like Kampala.
The defence minister doubted that such individuals could be members of the police force. Mr Tumwinne reffered the matter to investigation despite the fact that photos of individuals were all over the media.
Former Presidential candidate Moureen Kyaalya has through her facebook page promised sorlidality to the Musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine in the 2021 general election.
Citing alot of irregularities in the ruling government, Kyaalya Walube has gone far by threatening to reveal some confidential against the National Resistance Movement.
The wave has swept many lovers of change to Kyadondo based National Unity platform. On lookers and critics have prophesied a none different fate for the NUP to that of NUP after 2021
Despite the fact that the NUP has no faith in the 2021 Byabakama commission, they typically assert that these will justify their next course of action. To any sober mind, this would definitely be defiance.
Having no history of un armed civil uprisings in Uganda since 1962, one may doubt the assumption that Ugandans will storm the streets in protest after an election that many say has been rigged before 2021.
In a series of counter espionage between the FDC and NRM. There has bee less success of leaking information to
If voting would really changé anything, they would make it illegal. However, we are only there to justify defiance.

According to the four time presidential candidate and activist Dr. Kizza Besigye, A government whose structures are captured, and all government structures operate to serve that captors, don’t expect such a government to leave in a manner that it did not come.
Being a founder member of both the rulling party and the opposition party FDC, Dr Besigye advises the youths whose involvement in politics has enormously increased by the rise of Bobi Wine, to seek change through defiance and civil disobedience other than a sham election.
Following today’s invasion on the People Power offices by bother police and her sister security organisations. The Democratic party has come out to condemn actions of intimidating opposition players nearing to the 2021 General election.
In a letter signed by the party publicity secretary Opio Ole, he clearly put the stand of the Democratic party against such actions and stated how they would weaken the foundation of Multi party politics in the country.
Mr. Opio further tasked the government to explain the circumstances that led to the invasion of Kamwokya on this fateful day.
STATEMENT ABOUT MAKERERE ONLINE LEARNING/LECTURES. 13.10.2020
Article by; Nelson Mushabe
Nelson Mushabe GRC school of distance and Life long learning Makerere University
Let’s begin with a few statistics. Makerere has colleges and each College shaping it’s own fees structure depending on the nature of the courses therein. According to Makerere University’s most recent tuition structure release of 20/21, let’s dive in to understand the average amount of money one needs to surrender to begin applying for a certain course in one of these respective college.
College of Engineering, average start up tuition is 2.6 million. College of Business, average, start up tuition is 1.6 million. College of Agriculture, average start up tuition is 1.6 million and a compulsory recess fee of 886,075/= making 2.6 million. College of Health Sciences, average start up tuition is 2.1 million. College of Natural Sciences having an average start up tuition of 1.3 million. College of Computing whose average start up tuition is 1.8 million. College of Veterinary Medicine, average start up tuition is 1.4 million. College of Education’s average start up tuition is 970,000/= College of Social Sciences and Humanities’ average start up tuition is 1.1 million. Law’s average start up tuition is 1.9 million.
That understood, Let’s again back track to high school, where career formation starts. Enter one of those two candidate classes, Senior four and six and ask, “Who of you here wants to become a teacher?” I won’t negate if one replies, “No student put up their arm!” Ask again, “Who of you here wants to be a Social Scientist?” I will still not negate if one replies again “No one put up their arm!” I am yet to learn why reality dictates so for these two courses. Back to Makerere.
There ain’t no resources profiling Makerere University’s population! But from just association, I can assert that Education(Teachers) and Social Sciences(Social Scientists) are the two densely populated colleges out of the entire University’s colleges as stated above.
Is Makerere still envisioned to build for the future?
What is the link between the population, the pre-UNEB attitude by the candidates and the tuition?
Students and Candidates are later pushed to a wall because of tuition fees! A student finds themselves in either of the two courses whose average start up tuition is the least, as 1.1 million or 970,00/= for Social Sciences and Education respectively.
An averagely good working laptop or phone is about 500,000/= to facilitate online studies. This is close to half or even three quarters of most Students’ tuition. The big question is, Shall this student be able to just acquire this facility without looking into other necessities and disparities of data facilitation, unchanged tuition fees, band width, network coverage and the rest?
My friend Mutagubya Allan always tells me this, “Omutti guffa milandira” ate “Emitti Emitto gyejigumizza ekibira.” We the school going heads are the “Emitti” but our “milandira” is Education, please don’t kill it because you are killing us. But Mutagubya, who should address this plea?
