For Muhika Junior Schools, the year 2025 was that defining moment. It was the first time the school presented Primary Seven candidates for the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE). For many institutions, a pioneer candidate class comes with uncertainty, pressure, and cautious expectations. But at Muhika, it came with bold preparation, belief, and intentional excellence. And the results were extraordinary. Ranking 4th in Kira Municipality with an impressive 85% First Grades, Muhika Junior Schools did not simply participate, it announced its arrival. From Vision to Victory When a school presents its first Primary Seven candidates, it is more than an academic exercise. It is a test of: 1. Leadership vision 2. Curriculum strength 3.

Loyal to the Cause, Uneasy with the Course. An NRM Reflection on Liberation Day. by Davis Owomugisha

Image
Liberation Day, 26 January 2026: A Loyal Question to a Victorious History By  Davis Owomugisha  Today, we raise the flag again. We sing the songs. We remember the bush, the sacrifice, the promise. But history has taught us something uncomfortable: commemoration without correction becomes ritual, not renewal. As an NRM member, I do not write this from bitterness, nor from opposition benches. I write this from ownership—because the house you love is the one you dare to inspect. Liberation was not declared so that Ugandans would merely survive.

These are not forei...
