Uganda’s Local Government Minister Balaam Barugahara and State Minister Justine Nameere Nsubuga found themselves literally bogged down in the very problem they set out to inspect.
On July 20, 2026, their convoy became stranded on the slippery slopes of Wanale Hill in Mbale while examining a road alleged to have been poorly constructed. What was meant to be a routine accountability exercise quickly turned into a muddy ordeal, with officials forced to proceed on foot amid heavy rain.
Claim:
“A screenshot and video circulating on social media show the State Minister for Local Government, Hon. Justine Nameere, slipping and falling on a muddy road during an inspection in Mbale District.”...
Katika siku za hivi karibuni, kumekuwa na ongezeko la usambazaji wa nukuu mbalimbali kwenye mitandao ya kijamii zinazodaiwa kutolewa na Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan.
Mojawapo ya nukuu hizo, iliyochapishwa kwenye mtandao wa Facebook, inamdai Rais Samia amesema: "Natamani muda wangu uishe."
Hata hivyo, uchunguzi uliofanywa kupitia vyanzo mbalimbali vya mtandaoni umebaini kuwa hakuna ushahidi wowote unaoonyesha kuwa Rais Samia aliwahi kutoa kauli hiyo, iwe katika hotuba, mahojiano, taarifa rasmi au kupitia kurasa zake za mitandao ya kijamii.
Aidha, ukaguzi wa hotuba na taarifa rasmi zinazochapishwa kupitia kurasa za mawasiliano za Ikulu ya Tanzania haukubaini sehemu yoyote ambayo Rais Samia amesema...
Je, ni upi uhalisia wa picha hii?

Azaki amesema Viongozi wakuu wa chama cha CHADEMA wamekuwa wakikosolewa mara kwa mara kwa kuendesha harakati zao kwa misingi ya tamaa ya madaraka na ubinafsi badala ya masilahi mapana ya taifa.
Wakosoaji wengi wanabainisha kuwa maamuzi mengi ya kimkakati ndani ya chama hicho, ikiwa ni pamoja na uteuzi wa wagombea na mwelekeo wa kisiasa, yamekuwa yakihodhiwa na kundi dogo la watu wanaotafuta kulinda nafasi zao na kujinufaisha kibinafsi.
Hali hii inajidhihirisha pale chama kinaposhindwa kujenga misingi thabiti ya demokrasia ya ndani na badala yake kutegemea majina ya watu binafsi, hatua inayowafanya wananchi wengi kuamini kwamba kiu ya viongozi hao kuingia madarakani haitokani na nia ya kuleta mabadiliko ya kweli kwa mtanzania wa...
