Men are no longer the kings they used to be, and due to the change of roles, men have abandoned their role of provision, and in the long run, it has caused women to lose respect for men. 

In a real sense, it is easier to submit to a man who is a provider, and that is why men are supposed to be the head in the family. 

Jackie Nalubwama says, a woman’s money, should be left to her.

'Kameza money' is understood as the money a man gives his partner daily to cater for needs at home.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Uganda’s Constitution promulgation, Vision Group will on October 7, publish a comprehensive magazine that highlights the milestones covered under the Constitution. When the National Resistance Army NRA overran Kampala under the leadership of president Yoweri Museveni, the journey to transit to constitutional rule started almost immediately with the issuance of Legal Notice No. 1 of 1986.

In this special episode of Around Uganda, Nelson Kiva speaks with Miria Matembe, a lawyer, women’s rights activist, former minister of ethics and integrity, who was also the member of parliament for Mbarara district.

Matembe narrates the making of the constitution, from her dream of becoming a lawmaker to being appointment to the commission that would put together the 1995 Constitution. How did the Constituent Assembly come to be, and what is the question she asked the president when they ran broke? 

How do you stay committed in a relationship when faced with temptation? Francis Emukule and Jacky Nalubwama discuss 

This topic touches many Ugandan homes: how much kalo (millet bread) or matooke (steamed green bananas) is too much, especially for those living with or at risk of diabetes. To help us unpack this, we spoke with Dr. Dan Oriba Langoya, Professor Robert Kalyesubula, and two expert nutritionists. Together, they explore when even wholesome staples can stress blood sugar, and how to enjoy them wisely in a balanced diet.

Men love genuinely and will go the distance for the women they love. Some even pay tuition for their heartthrobs. But how genuine are they? Can it be called love if they await marriage as the reward? Join Francis Emukule and Jacky Nalubwama, as they discuss love's generosity from the men's side.

In 2011, President Museveni promised to build a public University in Bunyoro. Over the years, the promise never seemed forthcoming that many people from Bunyoro thought it was only a political sham. Annette Najjemba spoke to members of the University task force and the man who donated land to build the university. They confirm the University will have its first intake in August/September 2027

At 85 years old, Regina Nalubega should be spending her sunset years in peace. Instead, she finds herself entangled in a fierce land conflict that has left her traumatised and imprisoned. 

A resident of Lugangu Village in Najja Sub-County, Buikwe District, Nalubega says she legally acquired her land in 1980 from a man named Joseph Wasswa and has lived on it ever since. Her troubles escalated following the death of her husband, when a dispute arose over the ownership of the land. 

The matter ended up before a Grade One Magistrate, Martin Wakayemba, who ruled that Nalubega should vacate the land within 30 days and pay sh6m in costs. She spent a month in prison and is now appealing for help. Her relatives have since petitioned the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, seeking urgent intervention.

Nalubega’s story is one of many unfolding across the country, with Ugandans lamenting a surge in land disputes ahead of the 2026 general elections. Results of a recent nationwide survey by Vision Group, conducted under the Citizens’ Manifesto initiative between March and May 2025, show that 48% of respondents identified land grabbing and insecurity as their most pressing concern as the country heads to the polls.

The problem of being overweight and its deep connections to diabetes, heart disease, general discomfort and mobility issues remain quite evident across our society

In many East African communities, being overweight is still seen by some as a sign of prosperity, comfort, or even social status. But behind that perception lies a growing health crisis, one that silently affects our energy, our independence, and our longevity.

In this episode, Simon Okitela speaks to Dr. Chirag Kotecha, a renowned medical and cosmetic practitioner, and Wendy Ayayo, a qualified nutritionist from Refine Skin & Body Clinic who help us unpack the truth about weight management and why it’s not just about appearance rather about reclaiming your health.

We also explore the three pillars of sustainable weight-loss: nutritional balance, mental strength, and exercise and also discuss medical options for those whose bodies need extra support.
