DOES THE PRICE OF A CONTRACT DETERMINE IF A CONTRACT IS LAWFUL OR UNLAWFUL?

On Friday, we talked about Mabirizi and Kibirige who got into an argument over whether Mabirizi could afford an expensive phone. Mabirizi was dared to produce 200k by Kibirige so he could take the most expensive phone. It turned out he could. He paid 200k to Kibirige for an iPhone 12 and has since refused to part with it.

We asked you if he was entitled to that phone. Thank you for all your thoughts and responses. Let us also add ours to that discussion.

IF I PAY LESS THAN THE ‘REAL’ PRICE FOR A PHONE, AM I ENTITLED TO IT?

In contract law, the price of something in a contract is a called consideration. It is the payment or the reward for doing something or not doing something according to what has been agreed. It does not necessarily have to be money. For example, if I promise to withdraw my case against you at police and in exchange give me your shoes. This is a contract and the payment for your shoes, is me withdrawing my case against you at police. Furthermore, this price does not have to be ‘enough’, it just needs to be what the other person has asked for. If it turns out that the case was against me was for 5million and the shoes are worth 50,000 it does not do away with the contract. For example, Kibirige probably knew that an iPhone 12 was UGX 3,000,000 but chose to ask Mabirizi to pay 200,000 for it. Since Mabirizi paid it, makes this a contract between the two of them.

The fact that the phone was UGX 3,000,000 million does not make this contract invalid, it just Kibirige is probably a poor businessman who should not go around daring people without knowing how much they have in the pocket.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

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.
