I am a young man, a graduate of Mass Communication from Uganda Christian University. I have been a student leader throughout my school days – from primary to university. More profound about this was championing the founding of a Mass Com. Students’ Organisation (at the university) – the Media Link.
Straight from the university, I started to work with Radio One as a part-timer, hosting the popular Talk-Show – Spectrum. I left Radio One to establish a youth project in my village before joining the Independent Magazine later in 2008.
I would like to think that I have a shrewd attention and insight into issues and events about and around Uganda. I feel it is obligatory for everyone to play his/her part fully for the desired goal of developing this country to be a reality. This means that every Ugandan has a role to play toward the attainment of this success. These roles are distinct but intrinsically linked and that is why each person needs to know that the missing link is this or that I-don’t-care-mentality. As coined in the old adage, together we stand divided we fall, the special persona difference of every two individuals and the power presented by their complimentary efforts is testimony to this fact.
In the period I have practiced journalism, I have come to realise that the desired social, political and economic change in Uganda is not going to come about only pitching rallies, workshops, writing big expository, or lobbying bureaucratic institutions but also by direct engagement of the power base of the status quo – the ordinary person in the rural areas.
Through this blog cite, I hope to establish a means of doing my part in this quest; educating the local persons that the necessary changes about this country is all them to effect. They need to understand that they have the power, the means and necessary protection in the laws of this country. By that, they should pick up the will and wear the necessary resolve to move forward. Uganda will never be the same again.
This is my long way of saying that sooner than later, Kisangala is moving to his rural base in Tororo to start a campaign that should consume this country like a wild bush-fire. Would you like to support him?
The challenges facing this country are going to require a group of aggressive thinkers, diligent planners, and rigorous actors to stand up to the times with due honestly and dedication and carry this country to the Promised Land.
Welcome aboard!

- I am a UCU Mass Com graduate. I was a student leader from primary to university. About this, I championed the founding of a Mass Com. Students’ Organisation (at the university) – the Media Link. After university, I worked with Radio One, hosting the Spectrum Talk-Show. I left to establish a youth project in my village before joining The Independent Magazine later in 2008. In my short journalism experience, I have understood that the desired social, political and economic change in Uganda will only come about (among other things), direct engagement of the power base of the status quo – the ordinary rural person. I am out to make it known to them that they have all it takes to cause this change. In short, sooner than later, Kisangala is moving to his rural base in Tororo to start a campaign that should consume this country like wild-bush-fire. The challenges facing this country are going to require a group of aggressive thinkers, diligent planners, and rigorous actors to stand up to the times with due honesty and dedication and carry this country to the Promised Land.
