A country can survive many arguments. It cannot afford to get medicine wrong. Uganda is producing more doctors while hospitals continue to need them. Yet young doctors are still caught in battles over internship, pay, working conditions and what happens after training. That is not an internal quarrel within the profession. It concerns every Ugandan, because every family will eventually depend on a doctor. On this week’s #JSCConversations, I sit down with Dr Frank Rubabinda Asiimwe, President of the Uganda Medical Association, Consultant Urologist and Transplant Surgeon. We will confront the intern doctors’ crisis, doctors’ pay, brain drain, medical negligence, the duties doctors owe patients, the obligations the State owes doctors, and the larger question beneath all of it: Can Uganda build a health system worthy of the people who depend on it? THE DOCTOR, THE INTERN AND THE STATE. Join us.

22.53%. A record return. A Fund now worth UGX 32.87 trillion. And a story that deserves to be told properly. This Wednesday at 7:00pm, we host Mr Patrick Ayota, Managing Director, @nssfug , on @JSConversations Topic:22.53%: Inside NSSF’s Record Return How did we get here? What does this moment mean for members? And where does NSSF go next? Join us. @PatrickAyota @mofpedU @Mglsd_UG

Moses Matovu gave Uganda music that did more than entertain us. He gave us songs that became part of our language, our humour, our memories and, sometimes, our own personal stories. For me, #OliMujjawaMusajjaAsingaNze became one of those songs. It became part of the soundtrack of my campaign to represent the Uganda Law Society on the Judicial Service Commission. There was something about that song that fitted the journey perfectly: confidence, humour, mischief, even a little swagger. And through it all, unmistakably, Moses Matovu. And you cannot really speak about Moses Matovu without speaking about Afrigo Band. Afrigo became more than a band. It became an institution, a keeper of memories, one of those rare threads running through generations of Ugandan life. Parents danced to Afrigo. Their children danced to Afrigo. And somehow, through changing times, changing tastes and changing generations, the music endured. That was part of Moses Matovu’s remarkable gift. He did not simply make music for his own generation. He helped create music that outlived moments, fashions and seasons. A song written years ago could suddenly find itself on a campaign trail, at a wedding, on a long drive, or in the middle of a conversation among friends, sounding as alive as ever. That is what great musicians do. They write the song, and then they give it away to the rest of us. We carry it into our own lives and attach it to our own memories. Today, Uganda has lost one of those men. And today, the question belongs to him. Oli mujawa, omusajja asinga oyo. Rest well, Moses Matovu. Afrigo will play on. And so will the music.

A pleasure to be there, High Commissioner. Your energy, industry and sheer determination to tell Uganda’s story and open doors for Ugandan business were impossible to miss. Diplomacy at its best is not ceremonial. It is energetic, practical and relentlessly focused on opportunity. You brought all three.

Last week, we asked whether your land could be stolen on paper. Tonight, we go to the place where the paper becomes the title. The searches. The transfers. The caveats. The Special Certificates. The fraud. The safeguards. And this time, the man answering the questions is the man who runs the Registry. Baker Mugaino, Commissioner Land Registration. Tonight. 7PM. JSC Conversations.

Last Wednesday, we talked land. This Wednesday, we go deeper. From the law of titles to the institution that actually issues, registers and protects them. How does the Land Registry really work? How safe is your title? How does fraud get onto the register? What happens when records conflict? And what is being done to protect the most valuable asset many Ugandans will ever own? This time, we ask the man at the centre of it all. Baker Mugaino, Commissioner Land Registration. The land conversation continues. Wednesday. 7PM. JSC Conversations.
