A Letter From Police.

Maadu (Kapeere’s relationship advisor) was arrested and taken to police, but he claimed that Kapeere had asked him to beat up Fred (Kapeere’s rival), so the police have called Kapeere to come to police and explain whether he indeed had sent Maadu to beat up Fred. Kapeere has ‘real’ denied everything to everyone who cares to listen. However, he still wants to know what the police means by writing him that letter.

What is this letter?

By law, the police, court or any other judicial body can order a person to appear before it at a stated time and date for a specific reason such as to answer questions or provide information to them.

This is done through a written document known as Summons.

Can you choose to ignore them?

Yes, you can, but this means you forfeit the opportunity to voluntarily give your side of a story or to provide information that could benefit your case. The police will not lose interest and go away.

Instead, the police may investigate and decide to arrest you since you they did not get your side of the story to support your case.

What do you say when you go to police?

When you visit police in response to the summons, you must explain your side of the story and ensure that this is put into writing. This written account of your story is called a Police statement.

Can you decide to say nothing at all?

Yes, you can. A statement is voluntary therefore It is your right to choose whether to make one or not. The police cannot force you to make a statement especially if you believe it will incriminate you.

Are statements only for suspects?

No, they are not. A statement is a written narrative of what happened at a particular time. A suspect, a complainant (the one who reported the case), and those who saw or heard what happened (witnesses) can all make statements to help the police in their investigations.

Always make sure you read through the written statement and sign on every page if you are sure that this is an accurately represents what you told the police.

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.

However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
