Contemporary Uganda has three certainties in 3 Ds: Debt, Dishonesty and (environmental) Degradation. Indeed, in his State Of the Nation Address last week, President Yoweri Museveni said evidence of corruption is now available. As for Debt, another American saying attributed to President John Adams goes: “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation — one is by sword, the other is by debt.” Uganda’s debt is a statistical fact requiring no argument and now equals half of the country’s GDP, claiming an unhealthy chunk of the government’s revenue to service it, thus limiting the capacity to deliver essential services. There is a linkage through the perpetuation of Uganda’s three certainties of Dishonesty, Debt and Degradation, but the solution also lies in linkage, not treatment in isolation. Debt and corruption go hand-in-hand.

More recently the government indicated that it would withdraw advertising from all independent media and direct them toward the state-run Kenya Broadcasting. Despite this, more critical conversations are still happening online and via small news outlets or blogs whose audiences are growing. Parts of the media in Kenya have recently come under malicious and damaging online attacks. Few people are prepared to pay for online news in Kenya, but the Nation has been tightening its paywall after briefly dropping it during the recent elections. Even though Facebook remained stable, it is still the most popular social network for news along with WhatsApp (60%) – both owned by Meta.

Azimio la Umoja has crafted a multi-pronged plan to ensure that President William Ruto’s controversial tax proposal does not pass. The plan, which is meant to defeat Finance Bill 2024 in totality, will play out in the House, courts as well as on the streets. “The meeting shall deliberate on the Finance Bill 2024 and chart the strategic way forward. This is why the Finance Bill 2024 is so unpopular with Kenyans,” he said. While Bondo MP Gideon Ochanda called for the passage of Finance Bill 2024, his Ugenya counterpart David Ochieng’s called for its rejection.

The central bank is due to announce its latest decision on interest rates on Thursday. It raised hopes that the prolonged period of higher interest rates could soon be eased. But experts think the Bank is not quite ready to reduce rates, which have stood at 5.25% since August last year, the highest level since 2008. June’s meeting happening during the General Election campaign could be enough to deter a rate cut, some analysts predicted. Financial markets are expecting interest rates to be kept the same this month, with just a small chance that they will be cut.

President William Ruto, and First Lady Rachel Ruto arrive at the Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Washington, D.C for a recent State Visit on May 22, 2024. That is assuming that he averages the three foreign trips a month he is currently on. Four years as a traveller would see Ruto make nearly 144 foreign trips. That would place him within touching distance of the 151 foreign trips former President Uhuru Kenyatta made during his tenure.
