Many governments are enthusiastic about adopting AI because of efficiency and capacity gains. Yet the rapid adoption of AI by governments risks even stronger executive dominance over the other branches of government. Hence why parliaments must modernise. 👉birmingham.ac.uk/research/ce…

It’s time for us to recognize the importance of environmental democracy, an approach that ensures that all individuals and communities have access to information, participate in decision-making processes, and hold decision-makers accountable for their actions. #EP2024

While speaking about inclusion, @JMunyangabo CD @WFD_Uganda emphasises the importance of influencing decision-making. He says numbers are important, but elected representatives need to know how to influence decisions for their constituents. #YDC #WYDEyouth #DemocracyAcademyUg

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY Laws should be taken seriously! So why is @PoliceUg quick to use the Computer Misuse Act only when it affects the EGOs of some politicians?

PEOPLE PLEASING becomes a form of idolatry (worship of idols, even humans) if it supersedes genuine kindness or the fear of the Lord. – at Kampala, Uganda

I believe that it is time for us to shift the power to the young people in order to strengthen #EnvironmentalDemocracy. Our planet can be guaranteed if those who will inherit it - the young people, champion climate change.
