DID YOU EVER THINK THAT THE BIBLE IS KINDA LIKE THE HISTORY OF HOW LAWS WORK?

We have all heard the story of Adam and Eve. If you haven’t, then banange, go to church (the online one or radio kind). Anyway, in that story about the first couple, God told Adam that you could eat ANYTHING from the Garden of Eden but just don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (We would like to know what that fruit looks like). We know how the rest of the story goes; the snake tempted Eve who ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, who also ate, and they both realized that they were naked and so on and so forth.

WHAT LEGAL LESSONS CAN YOU GET FROM THE STORY OF ADAM AND EVE?

Fair Hearing:

Even God (who sees all and knows all), knew that Adam and Eve had eaten the ‘wrong’ fruit, gave them a fair hearing. He still asked, “Adam, where are you? What happened?” And Adam was given a chance to state his case before God. (Although he probably needed a lawyer to plead on his behalf) Spouses as witnesses The second lesson we can easily derive from this story is how spouses are used as witnesses against each other. Well, in this story we can see Adam just saying, “aaah, this woman you gave me did it” But in the courts of law, when a case has been brought before the courts, the court cannot force your spouse to give evidence against you.

Fairness of justice.

The third lesson we learn is about the fairness of justice. Eve got the fruit first and ate it. She shared it with Adam who also allowed to eat it. They were all punished for breaking the law, even the snake that the devil had used was punished too. The criminal law punishes those who do a wrong thing, incite others to do and those who also follow in the wrong steps. If you know it is wrong and still do it, you cannot claim to be innocent. By the way, after sentencing the court still gives you a chance to ask for a lenient punishment. But of course, that (Cain and Abel) story is for another day, so look out for it.

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
