Dear @UgandaPrisons @jbyabs
Is it true that the Prisons officers who did not participate in endorsing MK are being punished for INDISCIPLINE?

There is a loud silence about the contribution of the assault on civil society organisations and the ongoing gross human rights violations in Uganda to the current struggle of the economy, the unprecedented weakening of the Uganda shilling, and the rising cost of living. Yes, there is Ebola stuff and all, but there is also this loud factor in the country’s face. Pretending about it won’t address it.

If the CDF has admitted to having Sam Mugumya, why has court given the Government 2 weeks to investigate his whereabouts? watchdoguganda.com/news/2026…
The whole point of Habeas corpus as a remedy is its urgency. The state must produce Sam Mugumya and justify his detention, or release him. The value of habeas corpus lies in speed, because the harm it prevents (torture, killing, permanent disappearance) is irreversible.

This morning at high Court's Habeas Corpus hearing for Sam Mugumya, The military swore an affidavit denying holding him.
The matter has been adjourned to November 9, 2026 to give the state more time to do 'further investigations" and as the deadline for the Attorney General to submit a report on Sam Mugumya’s whereabouts.

This boda man! So he starts conversation and tells me he once carried a pretty plump lady and they got to a pub where the lady said she had to wait for someone to bring her money. She promised to add 10k to what they had agreed. She sat and started drinking while he remained on his boda. After a while, she went to him and apologised for keeping him bored. She invited him to drink with her. They drunk, then later got up and started dancing. “Yansaba munyige sikwiizi, era namunyiga nga sirina gwenebuuzizzaako. Namunyiga nzenna nentuyana nga bwenebaza Mukama ekisa kyankoledde”. They later went back and sat. That’s when his head started rotating. He regained consciousness to find himself in hospital, and the bike gone. “Paka kati nkyasasula loan muganda wange”.
I couldn’t hold back the laughter. He turned and said to me: “Blaaza osese busesi?”
