Keep the internet on as I plan to watch it on Jan 15 just before I vote. You might surprisingly inspire me.

The NGO Bureau has suspended the license of @acmeafrica over allegations of engaging in "activities which are prejudicial to the security and the laws of Uganda.” Founder @pmwesige has confirmed the suspension describing it as a move to silence the scrutiny of public affairs

Replying to @ug_lawsociety
@ug_lawsociety has set up a toll free number (0800355355) for members of the public to report violations of the law that might be seen or witnessed during the general elections. @AsiimweAnthony2 says this is to help hold culprits accountable. @ntvuganda

Finally got around to listening this. Really good insights that make you even more hopeless for this cuntry. Vote wisely next week. Protect the gains if you gain from the system.
Are we witnessing a potential shift in Uganda’s economic policy? We explore the possibility of renationalization of banks and telecommunication companies as the state seeks to reclaim resources and opportunities.

Some people don't like Kyagulanyi because he's their agemate and they just can't picture him being president when for them they are still employed and still have a boss at 48 years living in a 2 bedroom apartment and drive a Sienta.

For example, why shouldn’t the officer who issued permit for these signposts be culpable when they T-bone a road user joining the road? You find these hazards on all major junctions, approved by the LG. We need to “facilitate” legislators for our own selfish interests.
We need to get in MPs who will push for a private members bill to amend Physical Planning Act and the Building Control Act to make sure city/urban planners, physical planning committees/ building committees directly culpable for oversight failures, collusion, inadequate enforcement etc. Too much BS going on because no one is on the chopping board.

Uganda now requires written permission from its military chief—the president's son—to import Starlink satellite equipment, tightening control weeks before a national election. The move raises fears of an internet blackout similar to 2021. Details inside👇 🔗weetracker.com/2025/12/23/ug…

From what I've seen on the website, it still requires a Ugandan Telecom partner. Not sure this will work but I hope I am wrong
Dear Ugandans, are you thinking of ways to navigate internet shutdown during elections? @Starlink got you covered. Follow this link to access starlink internet directly on your phone. Bypass the illegal directive by CDF through @URAuganda 👇 starlink.com/business/direct… #UgandaDecides2026

Wasn't Airtel Africa supposed to be the "supplier"? Will Muhoozi grant them the licence sometime in February?
I knew this was coming. Purchase of @elonmusk’s star link gadgets whose internet govt can’t switch off, now restricted in Uganda.
