JESUS THE LIVING HERO

There have been so many definitions of who a hero is and of course I don’t have a problem to any of them. So many people have done great works for people at the expense of their lives. As Uganda, we have many heroes who were remembered last week on 9th June. Heroes have not just pierced our skies but it has been a trend of life.
Every one today has a hero they remember for doing something great to their dear lives. In the bible, Moses and Joshua are heroes in their own capacity. I had a different idea when it comes to remembering dead persons as heroes because to me a best hero is a live one. Jesus is my best hero as he is living and I have hope and assurance that eternity is also real.
Jesus came for a mission to save mankind from the sin and to fulfill the mission of God of restoring the lost relationship between mankind and God.
To have Jesus as a living hero is the best thing for one to be boastful about because there is already assurance that those who believe in Him will have eternal life. Jesus is a live and his power of resurrection is the reason as to why I am living. Jesus is a merciful hero that he gave his expensive life for my sake. He stooped so low to come and become man, to be mocked, flogged by man so that he fulfills his plan. What a hero? He is willing to do everything for my sake.
The day I learnt that Christ is the best Hero; I surrendered everything to Him and gave my life to Him because He was so humble that he accepted to stoop and come to earth. (Philipians: 2:9). There may be other heroes that you may recognise and respect but Jesus Christ is the best Hero to remember and believe in because he is Alive and seated at the right hand side of the Father.
I urge everyone to embrace Jesus Christ as the overall and leading Hero because so many heroes today actually followed Christ’s path of redeeming others and redemption is here today for everyone to take.

Why we should worry about the growing inequality in Uganda

by Michael Aboneka   Uganda continues to grapple with worrying inequalities and regional imbalances.  According to World Bank (2022), half of the population was moderately food insecure and the poorest households were unable to buy food products in the desired amounts. This means that half of our population is a hungry one which can do anything for survival.  In 2021 the Ministry of Finance reported that 28% of Ugandans were poor increasing from 18% prior to COVID-19 era with about two thirds of Uganda losing income and the economy and business still staggers while the gap between the poor and rich widens further because the poor and less privileged are affected adversely proving that  Uganda’s growth is not inclusive. Recently; I saw a number of colleagues expressing their disappointment after some young men stole side mirrors of their cars in broad day light in Kampala and they were left helpless; they couldn’t even run after the thieves. The same state of hopelessness is true to maj

The US Africa-summit: What is in it for Uganda?

  By Michael Aboneka The US Africa summit, the first of its kind for eight years, following the end of the era of Donald Trump and his America first policy, just concluded. With US President, Joe Biden, deliberately playing a different tune from his predecessor Donald Trump. His was indeed a courting ode, with a promise that the US is "All in on Africa's future”. Even more endearing was the declaration that “Africa belongs at the table in every room — in every room where global challenges are being discussed and in every institution where discussions are taking place” that accompanied the promise that US will support African Union joining the G20 group of large economies as a permanent member.  Biden announced $2 billion in humanitarian aid for Africa to address acute food insecurity, with emphasis that Africa has potential to feed itself and the world and a joke that he, like a poor relative, will visit Africa and spend a long time there. The cheery tone and overt support fro

The Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill 2022 cures no mischief

  By Michael Aboneka Jr Hon. Muhammad Nsereko sought leave of Parliament to table an amendment bill to the Computer Misuse Act in February 2022 and has now tabled the bill on the floor of Parliament. In my view, there is nothing new that the new law is seeking to cure and I am waiting to read the Regulatory impact assessment and the justifications thereof beyond public debates.  From the proposed long title of the bill, objectives and the clause on defects in existing law, it is not clear and specific enough of what mischief the bill intends to cure. The amendment seeks to largely protect the right to privacy, prohibition of unlawful access to data and spreading of false information which are already protected by existing legal frameworks such as the Constitution, Children Act, the Human Rights Enforcement Act 2019, Penal Code Act, Data protection and privacy Act 2019 among others. All these provide layers of protection that the bill seeks to do and by large, the amendment will only du
