The signs of authoritarianism start early. It creeps in, incrementally, often before our eyes.
In Uganda, it is disguised as accommodating or rewarding constituencies, or, in some cases, you are told these folks are good mobilizers.
The result: the Prime Minister you have, an ICT Minister who can hardly explain what an algorithm is, or a Minister of Education who cannot be accused of being a stellar academic or educator.
A consummate professional who finds their way into such a system, as some have done, can only survive by sacrificing competence and independent judgment for loyalty.
That may be why political outfits like PLU end up with the leaders they have and do what they do (I’ll make separate observations on PLU's choice of SG and its leaders).
Yet they are not short of jesters and cheerleaders. Repressive systems loathe competent, fiercely independent people.

🐒❤️ A tired proboscis monkey was spotted struggling to cross a river in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Then something unexpected happened.
Two fishermen noticed the exhausted primate swimming in the current and carefully brought their boat alongside it. The monkey climbed aboard, sat down like a regular passenger, and enjoyed a free ride across the river. 🚤😂
At one point, the impatient monkey even jumped off too early, only to climb back on and continue the journey. The fishermen eventually guided it safely to shore. The heartwarming video quickly went viral and earned praise across social media.
What makes the story even more fascinating is that proboscis monkeys are excellent swimmers and are known to cross rivers in Borneo, but river crossings can still be risky because of currents and predators such as crocodiles.
The internet's favorite comment:
"Bro missed his stop, got back on the boat, and still didn't pay the fare." 😂
Sometimes the best wildlife stories aren't about survival of the fittest.
They're about a monkey catching a ride home and a couple of humans choosing kindness. 🥹🐒❤️

Comrade Sam Mugumya recently marked a full year since he was abducted by the very people entrusted with protecting and defending him. For an entire year, his mother has continued to demand answers and call for the release of her son. Pray for Sam
