TOGIKWATAKO: Exposed regime moves to ban live broadcasts

Understanding Banyarwanda and Museveni 50 years Tusti Plan. Who are Banyarwanda in Uganda?

Mariam Nalubega first came to parliament in 2006 as national female youth MP. For years, she had been weaned on youth politics occupying a number of positions on the national youth council. Truth be told, Nalubega, an independent, started off well. She brought the vibrancy of her youth to many of the debates in the House. She constantly took on established legislators and government on a number of issues, winning the hearts of many. She was jolly and positioned herself as a defender of journalists whose rights had been violated.
