19 People Arreigned In Court For Defying Presidential Orders On Quarantine (Lockdown) Over Coronavirus Epidemic.

Today Mon 06th/04/2020 in Arua, 19 people were taken to court after being charged with two offences of disobedience to lawful orders contrary to section 117 of Penal Code Act and Negligent Act likely to spread Infection of disease contrary to section 171 of Penal Code Act. It so happened that on Saturday 04/04/2020 at around 4:30pm, police got a tip off from some concerned citizens that a big group of people gathered for a social happening at Kampala Garden, Bar and Lodge along Enyau road, Arua municipality. Accordingly, a team of officers led by OC Station Arua stormed the place at around 6pm. As they found the gate locked from inside, they demanded for it to be opened, but then those inside refused. The officers were forced to climb over the fence in order to access the inner part of the premise, where they got over 50 people gathered drinking alcohol, smoking shisha and cigarettes, chewing marungi etc. Since the officers were fewer in number, they only managed to arrest 19 of them ranging from the ages of 25 to 35 years, as majority escaped in disarray. 11 of them were men and 8 were women. The 19 suspects were detained at Arua CPS meanwhile 2 shisha pots, Marungi, cigarettes, bottles of beers among others were exhibited. A case file with Arua CRB 1232/2020 opened, investigated, sanctioned by RSA and forwarded to court with the suspects. The 19 suspects were; Mayebale Steven, Inzaruku Alone, Butele Moris, Karim Rajab, Batre Alfred, Aboyi Joseph, Osborne Terah, Hassan Yasir, Kennedy Danniel, Sanko Farid, Siraj Asiku, Aziza Hassan, Amina Bruhan, Alezuyo Manuella, Aisha Onyera, Taibo Christine, Farida Fusilati, Mami Maimuna, Manuella Shamira. They all pleaded not guilty to the above offences and were remanded to Arua Government Prison until 27th/04/2020. A person convicted in any of the two offences above is liable to a maximum punishment of Two years and Seven years imprisonment respectively. Several other places are being monitored for similar operations. This should be able to inform members of public that whoever disobeys the Presidential directives aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 can actually be arrested and prosecuted according to the law under Penal Code Act, and this will deter others from committing the same offences.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
