Now that Bobi Wine is not there, who will hold the anger? - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week I listened to a young man who sells clothes downtown speaking through tears. URA has stepped up its operations. Traders who used to combine five or so people to bring in one container can no longer do so in the same way. Clothes are being measured in kilograms, yet the people selling them do not sell clothes by kilograms. They sell by material, design and piece. At the same time, Chinese imports, backed by economies of scale and other advantages, are making it increasingly difficult fo
The PLU number is a badge of risk, not honour - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)

We sometimes forget that the NRA war was a real war. It involved real sacrifice, real danger, and people overcoming almost impossible odds. The numbers given to its fighters meant something. They carried seniority, sacrifice, and history. They were badges of honour. This is why the attempt by the Patriotic League of Uganda to reproduce the symbolism of those numbers is interesting. The problem is that it is being reproduced without half the sacrifice that gave the original numbers their meaning.
Ugandans should brace themselves for a largely authoritarian regime - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For nearly four decades, President Yoweri Museveni has maintained power through many things, but key among them is the use of money.

The strategy is that to g
Muhoozi is creating his own opponent in Odrek - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Balaam Barugahara’s anticorruption campaign over the months might have gained momentum, but everyone could still see that it was only targeting small fish. So, citizens were not convinced about the campaign, and the big fish, ‘the thieves’, were also unmoved because they knew it was not about them. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is trying to build his political posture partly on being tough on corruption, had to capture a big fish and do it himself to cover this gap. And perhaps there couldn’t be
Balaam must fight his own popularity to survive Anita Among fate - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It might be too early to call, but there’s something familiarly interesting happening with Balaam Barugahara. I will not wait to discuss it, for I believe observations and deductions are more valuable when they are made before they become obvious. As I have written before, I do not think the objective of Balaam’s anti-corruption drive is necessarily to end corruption per se. I think it is a political attempt to appeal to the population. However, I can’t deny that they have gained serious momentu
