The Soft Dictatorship and the Future of Ugandan Politics: UBC Behind The Headlines.

In this episode of Behind the Headlines, we bring together a high-profile panel featuring Hon. Mukasa Mbide, Andrew Mwenda (The Old Man of the Clan), Hon. Rosemary Seninde, and Apostle Bunjo to dissect the aftermath of the election and the roadmap for the next five years. The "Choreographed" State: Hon. Mukasa Mbide explains why he believes Uganda operates under a "Dicta Blanda" (a soft dictatorship) where democratic processes are cleverly choreographed to maintain power while giving the appearance of freedom. He challenges the "political maturity" of the masses and questions the future of the opposition. Economic Reality Check: Andrew Mwenda provides a sobering analysis of Uganda’s National Development Plan (NDP IV). Can Uganda really grow its economy tenfold to $650 billion by 2040? Mwenda highlights the "nightmare" of infrastructure, the looming electricity crisis, and the institutional incompetence that threatens the country’s growth. Digital Suppression: The panel also tackles the controversial internet shutdowns and the shocking claims regarding UCC’s mandate to send malware to citizens' phones in the name of curbing misinformation. Watch as we discuss: The transition of power and the 2031 horizon. The failure of the opposition to present a unanimous message. Why "Good Governance" might matter more than "Democratic Tendencies." The impact of AI and the "job apocalypse" on Uganda’s legislative agenda.
