One of the police guards could be heard ranting as he, and colleagues, were lifted away and at one point dared one of the SFC guards for a fight.

Special Forces Command (SFC) soldiers guarding the Saturday birthday party of First Son and UPDF Land Forces commander, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, at Cricket Oval in Kampala, on Saturday turned away police escorts of Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja from accessing VIP tents.

Ms Nabbanja, who was invited as the chief guest, was ushered to the venue amid loud music and dancing, and accompanied by Members of Parliament.

However, as she entered the venue heading towards the high-table, SFC soldiers blocked her four VVIP Protection guards from police, leading to a brief scuffle during which the army took the day.

The standoff between personnel from the two sister security forces largely evaded public attention as most of the euphoria at the birthday bash diverted merrymakers’ attention to detail.

Upon arrival at about 6:20pm, organisers led by Lt Gen Muhoozi, who was marking 48 years, were guided on a 20-minute tour around the Cricket Oval.

As things appeared calm and seamless, SFC soldiers in plain clothes, following a short argument, shoved the Nabbanja police guards slinging automatic guns away --- and off the venue.

By this time, the premier was safely on her seat and deafening music got most guests twisting and gyrating.

The SFC soldiers also tried to block our reporter from taking pictures of the showdown between them and VVIP police guards.

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...

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...
