Gen. Muhoozi’s place in the ongoing transition - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have argued before that moving forward, Uganda will need Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Or a person like Gen. Kainerugaba. This is not necessarily about the man, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, but that the trajectory of Museveni’s politics needs a man of this texture than the man actually needs the country. My intention here is neither to support nor endorse. But acknowledging Muhoozi’s usefulness in the transitional phase which must happen soon – or that is already underway. Of course, his autocratic displa

I will say this one more time: Lucy Nabunya, my friend, is no ordinary woman. It is not just her curves and lascivious sense of humour, but her intellectual aura. She watches politics on her television, and reads political commentary in the newspapers. She told me that she only reads the gossip pages of newspapers after completing her favourite columnists – Timothy Karyegira, Charles Onyango Obbo, Nicholas Ssengoba, and Jimmy Spire Ssentongo. She got hysterical talking about Spire Ssentongo, and
Ugandans are terrifyingly broke, ku ground kikambwe - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll say one more time, Uganda is presently a country of the walking dead.

The picture I am describing might not necessarily apply to Kampala’s big thieves and politicians. These are people with dead sou

When I asked Lucy Nabunya about how she had met her loaded lover, she looked at me with those eyes, and said, “You will have to buy me coffee to tell you this story.” Even when we were meeting for the first time, the chemistry felt long-established. “You seem to love gossip, Yusuf… You write for that paper, The Observer, or not? Yes, I have seen some of your gossip articles about politics” she said. “But I don’t like reading. Some of your articles simply collided with me. “Are you the one who wr
Why Ugandans are stinkingly broke - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a common joke in Uganda that if you find yourself without money in your pockets, you are poor alone. That do not ever think that your poverty is the poverty of others. Thus, it is incumbent upon you, individually, to do whatever it takes to improve your condition. The problem with this clearly selfish capitalist joke is that it hides both our collective suffering and the structural roots of the problem. Presently, this has gotten worse: Ugandans are stinkingly broke! It is not true that
