Over the past years, I have written letters to myself on my birthday. I love looking back at these letters and see what has changed across the years. These letters are important. They allow me to see things clearly. I delve better insight into my emotional patterns. My motivations. My struggles. Anything really. They allow me to talk to my past self, present self, and future self. However, today, two days after my 34th birthday, I am not writing a letter to myself. I am writing this letter to you, yes YOU who keeps hounding me (read women) with the “when are you getting married”, “when are you having children” or “at least have a child” questions/statements. Get a seat, grab some coffee or whatever it is that you love! We have some talking to do…… While I will publish this on my blog, I chose to post it directly on my Facebook page. It is a tad long, but I hope you can read till the end. Please do…

On Tuesday 21st 2015, Mr Jacob Oulanyah, the Deputy Speaker of the Ugandan parliament suspended any further debates on the Tobacco Control Bill following failure by the members of parliament to reach a consensus on various clauses. On 28th July 2015, the same contentious bill was passed by the parliament of Uganda and is now awaiting presidential assent.
The bill that seeks to control the sale, promotion and use of tobacco related products was introduced in parliament in December 2011. It has faced a great deal of opposition from the private sector, the law society, human rights activists ….who all seem to have qualms about it.
