Suddenly, Rishi Sunak rejected seven weeks ago by majority Conservative members defied the odds as an Indian man to be crowned party leader and UK prime minister without any vote after rivals dropped out in what many see as deal-making where 195 MPs endorsed his nomination. A failed state would have been castigated for failing democracy.
British politics is such that daggers are continuously held to the back of a leader, and so it isn’t wholly surprising that the brand new Prime Minister Liz Truss has fallen spectacularly within 44 days. Six prime ministers in six years. Three-Boris Johnson, Truss and the incoming in two months. So, Labour Leader is right to describe the current acrimony as the “revolving door of chaos,” instigated by raw ambition, scandal, ineptitude and backstabbing by close allies.
Last week Makerere University concluded centenary celebrations that ran for one year marked in social pomp as thousands of alumni, staff and current students across the globe paid accolades for the journey travelled.
A series of salacious tweets this week from Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba had passed off among Uganda’s social media audience as his usual banter, because he had confessed seeking to raise his traction on social media to one million followers, until Kenyans including some in their government felt sufficiently provoked.

The differential mood is also producing angry people in bigger numbers and widespread, the age of satire and internet are making global transfer of knowledge much easier.
Members of Parliament (MPs) need some breaks. Nyege Nyege isn’t quite the topic that parliament should be spending days on, considering the post-Covid grief Ugandans are going through at the moment. Armed with convenient moral righteousness, a large coterie of MPs spent time in self-delusion and some quite thrilled to lead the charge. Small mercies on the public, then you notice that sometimes with MPs you have to learn to take what you get.
