ENG. SAKWA. A MOMENT OF LEGACY AND MENTORSHIP

Image
By Nr. Banks . Mr. Jeph Prince Wamboka shares a light moment with Eng. Darlington Sakwa during the final send-off of the late Mrs. Robina Nambuya Wetaya in Busoba, a high-profile gathering attended by many dignitaries. The late Mrs. Wetaya was Wamboka’s aunt and a daughter of the late Nyote Zacharia of Bukhalu, making the occasion deeply personal for the Wamboka family. The encounter also carries a special significance. Eng. Sakwa is an old boy of both Nabumali Boarding Primary School and Nabumali High School, institutions that Mr. Wamboka also attended. Beyond their shared school heritage, Eng. Sakwa has, in his own quiet and distant way, played a meaningful role in shaping Wamboka’s community leadership outlook and political philosophy at different stages of his journey. Some encounters are more than moments. They are reminders of where we come from, those who shaped us, and the legacy we are called to carry forward.

SOLOMON ODEKE LAID TO REST

Image
By NR Banks.   On this Wednesday 9th of September 2026, Hon. Jeph Prince Wamboka joined the family, friends, teachers, students and the wider community of Bukhalu Seed School to mourn and lay to rest Solomon Odeke, a senior 3 student of the school who passed away following complications related to sickle cell disease. Solomon was laid to rest at Kocus, Bukedea County, Bukedea District. Hon. Wamboka extends his heartfelt condolences to Solomon’s family, the entire Bukhalu Seed School fraternity, and everyone affected by this painful loss. Bukhalu Seed School is among the government institutions established through the contribution of the Nyote family, alongside Nyote Memorial Primary School and Nabongo Secondary School. These institutions continue to make a meaningful contribution to education and community development. Wamboka believes in building upon such legacies and advancing access to quality education and community development across the Bulambuli region. May...

THE HANDS THAT CARRIED A GENERATION

Image
A Tribute to Mrs. Canon Susan Nyote and the Late Mr.David Mwasa Nyote If you asked me where my life's journey truly began, my answer might surprise you. Not in a hospital. Not at home. It began beneath what I then thought was a porous roof of the newly acquired Nabongo Secondary School truck, driven by the legendary Khaukha, with Masaba later, as his turn boy. That truck carried a dream. It was the season when Mr. and Mrs. David Mwasa Nyote left their respected positions in Mwiri to help establish what would become the legendary Nabongo Secondary School. I was barely two years old, seated securely on Mum's lap as we travelled to Muyembe. I remember roadside stops for roasted meat, waking with a stiff neck after sleeping awkwardly, and a mother's gentle hands making every mile feel safe. My childhood was shaped by moments both joyful and difficult. I still remember President Yoweri Museveni's first visit to Muyembe after the Bush War. Like every curious child...

PANIC AS HON WAMBOKA DELIVERS THE NEWS: BULAMBULI NO LONGER YELLOW.

Image
CHANGE IS CHANGING EVERYONE  BY M. Banks. Frontiers Post  Hon. WAMBOKA JEPHTHER PRINCE, the incoming MP for bulambuli County yesterday walked out of the Bulambuli Electoral Commission stakeholders’ meeting with one clear message:  Bulambuli Is Not an NRM Plantation, It’s a Multiparty Garden” The meeting, called by the Electoral Commission, was mainly to unveil the new District Election Officer, who will also double as the Returning Officer. All MP aspirants, their trusted “lieutenants,” and LC5 chairperson hopefuls filled the room—because in politics, no one wants to be told the story second-hand. But the highlight of the day came when the new Returning Officer, in an innocent attempt to preach unity, suggested that “ we all come from the same political orientation ,” meaning NRM. Eh! As Ugandans say, “A word that has no legs should not try to run.” Hon. Wamboka quickly stood up to set the record straight: Bulambuli is not a political monocrop. It is a garden ...

DID NRM WIN A CASE OR LOSE THE PLOT ?

Was Justice Served or Just Seasoned? Nambi vs. Nalukoola: A Win in Court, A Loss in the Court of Public Opinion? By Jephther Prince Wamboka  The Frontiers - Kawempe North    Ugandan politics just got another courtroom twist. The High Court has ruled in favor of Faridah Nambi, nullifying the just concluded election of Elias Nalukoola Luyimbazi as MP for Kawempe North. But while the judge may have banged the gavel, the people may not be banging the drums for Nambi just yet. Let's unpack the drama. Grounds of the Petition: Alleged Electoral Malpractice Nambi petitioned the court inter alia on grounds of illegal practices, non-compliance with electoral laws, and voter disenfranchisement. From allegations of campaigning on polling day to unauthorised persons, including the musical celebrities, invading polling stations, the court had quite the evidentiary buffet to sample.  Notably, 14 polling stations failed to return results—affecting over 16,000 registered...

THE SILENT TAKEOVER: FDC’s Stealth March to Power

Image
The Frontiers Post - Teso It’s not every day you see political rivals playing nice—but when it happens, it’s almost suspiciously refreshing. At the moment, the FDC’s top contenders—Hon. Nandala Mafabi and Party President Patrick Amuriat—are both on the campaign trail in the Teso subregion, hunting for delegate support in a surprisingly coordinated effort known as Operation VIVA. No mudslinging, no chairs flying—just politics, the way it should be (but rarely is). FDC supporters cheering on their candidates  While other parties seem to be auditioning for a political version of WWE, the FDC is quietly winning hearts with an image of calm democracy and political tolerance. And let’s be honest—that’s the plot twist most Ugandans have been hoping for. In regions like Elgon, Teso, and parts of the North, the presidential preference seems to be sealed tighter than a boda-boda rider’s helmet during a Kampala downpour. These voters represent a...
