Isn’t this akin to reporting a burglary with video evidence and police still refuses to pick up the suspect because he/she wasn’t caught red handed in the act?
We have taken note of concerns regarding alleged selective enforcement in the ongoing Operation Tekeleza Sheria, particularly involving illegal sirens and lights, concealed or missing number plates.
The operation is a joint enforcement initiative by @PoliceUg and @MODVA_UPDF Military Police Brigade targeting specific traffic violations. Officers do not search for vehicles at people’s homes, vehicles are intercepted when found on the road and within enforcement points.
A vehicle that encounters our enforcement teams while committing a targeted violation will be dealt with in accordance with the law. The fact that a particular vehicle has not yet been intercepted does not mean it is exempt or protected.
Enforcement is continuous and conducted at different locations and times. Those who continue violating the law should not assume they will evade enforcement indefinitely.
Our message is simple: Comply with the law. Remove illegal sirens and lights, ensure number plates are properly fitted and visible and meet all traffic requirements.
The objective is not to target individuals but to enforce the law, restore discipline on our roads and ensure that no one is above the law.
Comply before enforcement catches up with you. @mkituuma

But are the roads car-worthy??!!!
The Minister for Works and Transport, Fred Byamukama, has announced a 100-day joint enforcement operation aimed at clearing all unroadworthy and dangerous taxis from Kampala and surrounding suburbs.
Comparing the move to recent trade order enforcement in the city, Byamukama stressed that strict regulation is urgent to safeguard passengers and reduce fatal road crashes.

So the average cost per km is €1.6 million...okay!
The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (@mofpedU), Hon. @henrymusasizi1 and that of Works and Transport, @HonByamukama are appearing before the Committee on National Economy to defend government’s proposal to borrow €207.77 million from Citi Bank.
The loan is meant to finance the design and construction of the 127Km Jinja–Mbulamuti–Kamuli–Bukungu road and 10km of roads in Jinja City. #CommitteesUg

No arrests promised for interruption of usual programming 😆. Join us and please note that this @JSConversations with Hon. @BalaamBarugahar is happening on Tuesday not Wednesday, 7PM EAT.
We interrupt our regular Wednesday programming to bring you a special Tuesday edition: The man. The moment. The crusade. The controversy. The conversation.
They say, cometh the hour, cometh the man.
Our guest next Tuesday travels where angels fear to trade.
@BalaamBarugahar Hon Minister of Local Government, joins us to discuss his increasingly visible anti-corruption crusade, #ExposeTheCorrupt.
But there are hard questions.
How can we fight corruption fiercely while remaining faithful to the rule of law?
We ask the difficult questions: due process and the rule of law; the concerns of engineers, doctors and professional bodies; the impact of public exposure; and whether corruption has become so wide and so deep that extraordinary action is now required. A candid conversation about corruption, power, accountability and the law.
This Tuesday on JSC Conversations.
#ExposeTheCorrupt: The Crusade, the Constitution and the Fight Against Corruption.
Please tune in.
And yes, the Minister promises not to order any arrests during the Space.

Open Letter to the IGP
Dear Mr @igp_ug1 Abas Byakagaba. I trust you’re well. I don’t know whether you watch the biggest Saturday show, @Kasuku256’s TalknTalk Show. But even if you do, I believe by the time it featured, you were busy cleaning.
Well, on the show, Ndugu @Edsendi mentioned about this place at Kisaasi Round about off Northern Bypass. Here, you elected to maintain a police post and we truly appreciate. Thank you.
However, the designers of this road had all the reasons to make it wide with a drop off provision. I doubt those reasons had dumping accident cars in them. Most of these cars killed people and whose loved ones still used the road. This haunts them Sir. But mostly, this police post isn’t a traffic department. They can operate, keep law and order without this congestion.
Kindly pack up you scrap and dump it somewhere else. If the IOV has run out of space, please auction the scrap already. The inconvenience at this spot is becoming a security threat. So we pray, Sir.

So there is no step to take away licence points or withdraw licence for repeat offenders?
🖲️EPS| ICYMI: Last month, we concluded stakeholder validation of proposed reforms to the Fines Issuance System and Speed Regulations, also mostly known as the Electronic Penalty System [EPS].
The recommendations will guide the refinement of the system before the next phase of implementation, subject to Government approval.

What happens to Hon Gerald Karuhanga? Other assignments or since he stood as independent and went through, he ceases to hold a leadership position in the party? Thanks
Hon. Kassiano wadri brings with him a lifetime of service and commitment to the nation thst will no doubt spur the party forward in the right direction.
I also thank @AlasoAsianut for her steadfast leadership. Under her, we got out first MP, and increased our local government footprint and strngthened our party structures.
Change of political leadership should never be an acrimonious undertaking. And the only way for us to achieve this as a nation, is to practice it in our politics: from the grassroots, up. We must develop a culture that puts the country first and the good of our people before personal ambition. @TheAllianceUG is developing that culture, demonstrating that if we choose to, we as a nation can defy the politics of our past and build a Uganda that works for all of us.

Laughable. You aren’t Boaz Shani. You aren’t Albert Mucunguzi. You aren’t the Kacungira sisters. You aren’t Sarah Kagingo. You aren’t Patricia Kahill. You aren’t Joseph Owino. You aren’t Collin Mugume. You aren’t John Babirukamu. You can’t Danze Edwin. You were running follow trains.
I Ugaman and many others spent years building Twitter in Uganda and we encouraged companies and government officials to embrace the platform. We shall not watch Ninye Tabz and Dr. Spire take us back to the dark days of bullying people on social media. Not on my watch. You can all me anything you but I know what a proper online community can achieve.

Here sir.
Full discussion. If someone wants to understand the conversation or get answers. This is the video to watch.

Let us be careful in reporting @AJEnglish ,@AJENews . A regional Ebola figure is not a Ugandan death certificate.
To say “DRC and Uganda have reported 263 cases and 43 deaths” without separating where the deaths occurred is not reporting. It is statistical fog dressed as public health communication.
Uganda must not be casually placed inside another country’s mortality column.
If there are deaths in Uganda, name the district, cite the Ministry of Health, and give the exact number.
If the deaths are largely or entirely elsewhere, say so with discipline.
In matters of public health, careless language can travel faster than disease.
Facts save lives. Sensationalism spreads panic.
BREAKING: The Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda have reported 263 confirmed Ebola cases and 43 deaths as of May 30, according to Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya.
