DO YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP?

By BarefootLaw.

Nambi has been having suspicions about her husband. He has been showing late in the night and her ‘friend’ even told her that she has seen him leaving a certain lodge several times. Nambi wants to find out for sure if this is the case. While walking on one of the streets, she found a poster advertising ‘spying’ services to catch cheating spouses and even offered to record his phone calls so that she could listen to them. Nambi wants to nail her husband, but does not want to end up in jail as well, so she wants to know if there is any privacy in a relationship especially if the two are married. 


DOES THE LAW RECOGNISE PRIVACY IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

Unfortunately, NO!!!!


The law allows everyone to have a right to privacy. This means that no one should have their personal data such as phone conversations, location data and photos or videos recorded without their consent unless they are engaged in a criminal act. (Did we mention that adultery/cheating is not a criminal offence anymore???)

So if you hire someone to spy and ‘tap’ phone calls, then you are committing a criminal offence and you can be prosecuted for this. In addition, it is unlikely that the court will use this information as evidence against your spouse. (This is because the law support your illegal activity to enforce your right).

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...
