Why You Must Stop When Traffic Police Officers Stop You on the Road ❓

By Editor


JUST STOP!  

You’re running late for a meeting that you’re supposed to be chairing and the police waves you down. You are terribly irritated and time-barred. Just stop!  


Your wife is in the back seat of your car, her water has “broken”. You were going at 80 km/hr on a road whose speed limit is 50 km/hr. The police waves you down. Just stop!  


You’re running late to pick up your child from school and you’re just seeing how your ka-50k is going to go just like that in paying another fine. The police waves you down. Just stop!  


You have been in traffic for hooouurs. You are dying to get home to use the toilet. The police waves you down. Just stop!  


You….The police waves you down. Just stop!  It doesn’t matter what scenario you play out in your mind whether it is an emergency; with your wife or with your work or with your bowels, if the police be it traffic police or any other police for that matter stops you, you must stop.   


Why?  Because the police has the mandate to do so to ensure that law and order is being upheld as provided under section 142 of the Traffic and Road Safety Act.  If you speed off without explanation instead of stopping and properly explaining that you are rushing your expectant wife to the hospital, the police will mark your number plate and there’s little evidence to corroborate your story when the damage has been done.  This may lead to cancellation of your driver's license and may also lead to you paying a fine for not being complaint to police traffic control instructions.  Follow the law, just stop!

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...
