Over 4,806 people in 2023 died in road accidents, according to the Uganda Police Annual Crime Report. The economy loses in terms of manpower and property. The amounts spent on treatment of accident victims, those permanently disabled, orphans, widows, and widowers lead us to these questions. Does Uganda need to streamline road transport and institute order? Yes. Is it a very urgent matter of national importance? Yes. Is it right to punish those who speed on the road or break traffic rules? Yes.

What you need to know:It is these spaces that many like DJ Bush Baby came to occupy and strode like a colossus... A few years ago, I met the now deceased Michael Benjamin Owor, a.k.a. DJ Bush Baby.

Many times, we get to think about the challenges that bedevil society when they visit the doorsteps and enter the homes of the high and mighty. A young man called Robert Kabonero, a.k.a. Bobby, the son of diplomat Richard Kabonero, lost his life. He allegedly had a gun accident this year and passed on last week. It was the words of his uncle, Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi, that were sobering. “We, your parents, are very worried about you.” He is not alone.

The Catholic faith has a new leader. Pope Leo XIV replaces Pope Francis who went to be with the Lord on the 21st day of April. Over the last many days, we have been inundated with the rich history and workings of the Catholic Church. We know that when a Pope dies or abdicates, as was the case with Pope Benedict XVI, there is an interim leader called the Camerlengo who oversees the administration of the Holy See during the papal vacancy.

A friend says any Ugandan above the age of 39 years & has lived in this country all these years is a hero. They have survived in a predatory state that is ostensibly designed to fail, finish & leave them with crashed spirits, that they can only lament & be grateful to be alive.
The choice of words by H.E. @KagutaMuseveni is valid; 'Uganda is so nice even a fool can survive here.' Most of Ugandans have their heads just above the water, living from hand to mouth, with debts all over the place. One illness or tragedy & the begging bowl comes, out or death. https://t.co/qr4ykphZKk
It's DAY 167 since PC Charles Bahati from Bushenyi shot dead, Julius Ssekamwa, driver of M/v UAX 480C & 'fled' on a boda boda, from armed patrol policemen. Police 'recovered' only the gun. Let's retweet daily to remind @igp_ug1 & @PoliceUg to produce the suspect. #ArrestPCBahati https://t.co/BfAAJGM5xy
