Opinion: The Vision Busia Desperately Needs By Ouma Patrick, Aspiring Member of Parliament, Edited by Bwire Jonathan, The Crown Media East Africa  Opinion: The Vision Busia Desperately Needs Busia finds itself at a critical moment , our politics have been dominated by what many have come to call the "burial candidates"—politicians who show up at funerals, make speeches filled with grand promises, hand out small tokens of cash and alcohol , and then  til next such gathering. This is not leadership, and it is not enough to take us forward. This routine has persisted year after year, leaving Busia stagnant while the world moves ahead. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, growing global demands, and an urgent need to tackle unemployment, poverty, and corruption, we cannot afford to keep going down this path. Our community needs leaders who can rise to the occasion and offer a vision that goes beyond temporary handouts and opportunistic appearances. Let us look at...

Uganda Plans New Law Requiring Youth to Respect and Heed Advice from Elders, Says Minister

 By Bwire Jonathan: The crown media East Africa: Kampala  If the government of Uganda introduces a law mandating young people to respect and take advice from older persons, it could have several significant social, cultural, legal, and even economic implications: Social and Cultural Implications: 1. Reinforcement of Traditional Values: This law would reinforce the importance of intergenerational respect, especially in a society where elders are traditionally seen as the guardians of wisdom. It could preserve cultural values that emphasize the reverence of older people and family structures where advice from elders is highly regarded. 2. Strain on Youth Autonomy: While promoting respect for elders, the law could also limit the autonomy of younger people, especially in decision-making processes.
