HABIB SERUWAGI: Why Uganda's New General Cleaning Policy Misses the Mark
Uganda's National Cleaning Day was launched with the promise of transforming civic responsibility and environmental stewardship, but its rollout has already exposed the hallmarks of policy failure. What was meant to be a unifying exercise has instead revealed the dangers of coercion, poor planning, and lack of stakeholder engagement. The architects of this initiative must confront the reality that patriotism cannot be legislated through roadblocks and directives; it must be cultivated through persuasion, structure, and genuine ownership. The coercive nature of the policy is its most glaring flaw. Forcing citizens to clean by halting transport and erecting roadblocks is

HON. MILLY BABIRYE BABALANDA:NRM's sweeping win in LC1 Elections proved Ugandans' Trust in President Museveni
The recently concluded Women Council and Local Council I (LC1) elections have delivered a message that cannot be ignored. Beyond electing grassroots leaders, they have provided perhaps the clearest and most transparent measure of the political mood of ordinary Ugandans. Their verdict is that the overwhelming majority of Ugandans continue to place their trust in the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and in the leadership vision of His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Unlike the General Elections, where voting is conducted through secret ballots, these grassroots elections employed the traditional African democratic method of lining behind the candidate of ones choice.
