When I did the first story in September 2022, many called it amateurish and unsubstantiated...now I am here seeing things on the of media!
Listened and watched this podcst by @YusufSerunkuma . So many learning points listening to @kasujja tackling the questions. As a country, like he says, can only hope for better bse we absolutely have nothing to do with what is happening.

The man of God, @RobertKayanja has placed a curse on @FrankGashumba for four generations. My concern here is: Does the church still believe in treating people with grace or its something that our pastor just tell the congregation? Secondly, why the rage? Did Gashumba call out God our father?

Stories about contraception can help people make informed choices, challenge misconceptions and understand where to access care.
When some voices are overlooked, their experiences and barriers to accessing services can remain unheard.
As we continue commemorating World Contraception Day, we asked journalists: Which stories and voices deserve more attention in contraception reporting?
🎥 Watch their responses.

You soon see people pulling each other's mouths!!
.@derrickwandera2: The oil story is going to change a lot of geopolitics in our region.
