My thoughts and prayers are with the NMG staff. I called a few friends at NMG today, and all I can say —It is very tough waking up to no job at all, and a lot of uncertainty surrounding what brings food on the table, but most importantly the future of press freedom as a fundamental bedrock of our democracy.

As concerns grow over the increasing use of children in inappropriate social media videos, the Minister for Children Affairs has strongly condemned the practice, calling on parents, content creators, and the public to prioritize the dignity & safety of every child online.

God will restore you and make you new again if you choose him over those drugs. No one is irredeemable before him. Come home 🫂
Addiction often thrives in isolation, but healing happens in community and there is no struggle too great for God’s grace. Our churches are places of hope, not judgment. If you are on a path to recovery, reach our DM. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

When @nakimuli_helen hobored ambitions of becoming MP, the incumbents thought, transfering her from Bubeke to Bufumira and later Mazinga sub counties would intimidate her. She was only energized. Pained by the fact that she left young and tenacious. Rest well my daughter!

Her passing is a great loss to Kalangala and the nation. We have lost a development-oriented leader with immense potential. My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and the people of Kalangala. May her soul rest in peace.
