#Uganda #Muhoozi #Barugahara #Corruption

On Saturday afternoon, I sat by my window on the northern shore of Lake Ontario and watched autumn perform its annual magic trick. In the foreground, a row of maples burned crimson and orange-gold. Across the water, islands and spits flickered with gold, rust and the last of ...

On Friday, October 9, my wife and I stood for the first time on the granite of Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, with our dear friends Samm Bbuye Musoke and his wife Sylvia. The rock runs down to the sea in great grey slabs, scoured smooth by glaciers that retreated from this ...

#Kampala #Kabale #Kabaare #Mbarara #Mburara

Let me revisit a subject dear to me, about which I wrote a decade ago. I first set foot in Kampala sixty years ago. My father and I stayed at a lodge across from the old Central Bus Park, one of those places above the Indian merchants’ shops, reached by a staircase that ...

Why Olara Otunnu is the best choice for Secretary-General

By Muniini K. MuleraAugust 24, 20260 comments

#Olara #Otunnu #UN #Uganda

When the Security Council settles down in the coming weeks to choose the tenth Secretary-General of the United Nations, it will do so by secret straw ballot — coloured slips, no vetoes announced, preferences narrowed round by round until a name survives. Members will reach for ...

Why tithing does not apply to Christians

By Muniini K. MuleraUgandaMay 26, 20251 comments

#Tithing #giving #church

The lifestyles of many who are called reverends, prophets, apostles, pastors and other titles of the church mock the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not all, of course, but the misuse of the altar, pulpit and video technology to amass material wealth must not escape our vigilant attention. To ...

The high-profile, on-the-spot inspections and populist arrests led by Balaam Barugahara, the Minister of Local Government in Uganda, embody a dramatic new theatre of accountability, yet they ultimately spotlight the enduring futility of targeting low-level district clerks ...

People love to call Kigyezi the “Switzerland of Africa.” It is easy for a visitor to see why. The land rises into sharp, near-vertical peaks. The hills are carved into green terraces, one step above another, and the morning mist floats over Lake Bunyonyi like a soft blanket. ...

#Bunyonyi #Kabaare #Kabale #Mgahinga

When our Member of Parliament for Ndorwa County West, the Hon. Eliab Naturinda Mporera, rose in Parliament on July 7, 2026, he was not merely reporting a broken road in a distant corner of the country. He was holding up a mirror to a national weakness. I agree with every word ...

There is a particular kind of wisdom that cannot be taught in a classroom or acquired from a book. It comes only from living — from decades of watching the world shift beneath your feet, from translating motivation into productivity, from burying friends, raising children, ...

Every time President Yoweri Museveni announces a new cabinet, Ugandans perform a familiar ritual. Political commentators parse the list for regional signals. Religious communities count their representatives. Ethnic arithmetic is performed on social media and radio talk shows. ...
