WHAT IS MALICIOUS PROSECUTION ❓AND WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT IT❓.

By Editor


Zakaayo has been having disagreements with his family members for the last 2 years because they failed to agree on how to divide their late mother’s land. Then out of the blue, Nakito reported Zakaayo to police for breaking into her house. Another ‘friend’ of Zakaayo also told police how Zakayo used to talk about how he admired Nakito’s house and how he would love to one day enter and see if it looks like heaven even inside. But things turned around, the Magistrate and the court found that Zakayo was innocent and there was no proof of him having broken into Nakito’s house. After being released by the court, a vengeful Zakayo has declared that he is coming after Nakito for her baseless and vicious claims. 


CAN ZAKAYO TAKE ACTION AGAINST NAKITO? 


Yes, Zakayo can take legal action against Nakito. When a person (Nakito) starts (initiates or institutes criminal proceedings against another (Zakaayo) intentionally without probable cause or with malice, then the case is dismissed or the matter does not go to court, then this person (Nakito) is responsible for malicious prosecution against the other (Zakaayo). Since Nakito accused Zakayo of house breaking without any proof and reported the matter to police, then the case was dismissed by court, then Zakaayo has every right to sue her for malicious prosecution. Nakito would have to compensate Zakayo if court finds that she was liable for this. 


Have your haters ever tried to put you or a loved one in jail using baseless claims? We hope this information can come in handy.

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

By Editor
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...

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...
