Uganda prison officer sacked for 'politicking' on TikTok

A Uganda prison officer was sacked for 'politicking' on TikTok, criticizing the government for corruption and misuse of power. Lawrence Ampe's dismissal is viewed as "gross indiscipline" by authorities. Ampe, a vocal critic of senior government officials, used social media to expose corruption and support opposition leader Bobi Wine's election campaign. The move has been condemned by the opposition, citing "systemic oppression" within Uganda's security sector.
