Amb. Eunice Kigenyi addressed over 260 members of the Ugandan diaspora at the Equity Bank Diaspora Investment Forum.
​A powerful engagement focused on unlocking investment opportunities, sharing experiences, and driving development back home.
She reaffirmed the High Commission’s unwavering commitment to supporting our community and rallying diaspora capital for development back home🇺🇬🇰🇪

Shocking and distressing to see ongoing persecution of #Ugandan Opposition Leader #Besigye. Arbitrary detention, harsh conditions, denial of adequate medical treatment: one assumes authorities know the likely consequences. #UN, @_africanunion
@commonwealthsec: please speak out!

I have learnt that @kizzabesigye1 has been taken to Mulago Hospital.
He will not allow any government official to touch him.
His personal doctor examined him in prison just three hours ago, determined that he urgently needed treatment at her clinic, and has still not been allowed to care for him.
Denying @kizzabesigye1 his lawyers. Denying him bail. Denying him access to his own doctor.
These are injustices no family should have to endure.
We continue to demand justice for @kizzabesigye1.
@KagutaMuseveni
I am demanding that my spouse Dr @kizzabesigye1 is taken to see his personal doctor at her clinic in Bogolobi NOW. He has collapsed in court and was returned to prison.
His doctor is concerned about his health.
Dr @kizzabesigye1 has insisted NOT to be treated at a govt hospital. He does not trust any institution under the control of @KagutaMuseveni and his son @mkainerugaba

"In an economic crisis to be told that a politician is taking charge of the economy is as comforting as being told during a turbulent flight that the minister of tourism is taking over the flying".

Doomed are societies in which people, after hearing about Pythagoras’ theorem, want to know Pythagoras’ political party affiliation in order to decide whether the theorem is correct.
