The Right to Life.

Once upon a Bible, (We are sure you’ve heard all this before, but bear with us) Jesus was accused of blasphemy (by healing people on the sabbath), threatening to destroy the temple and claiming to be the king of the Jews (this last one is called treason in our time by the way, and it means doing things to overthrow the government).  

Because of this, the people were asked what punishment he should get. We are sure some said “bambi forgive him”, but as you know how loud crowds can get, so no one probably heard those ones. So, the ruler (who also happened to be the judge then) decided that he should be crucified. This got us thinking about a few serious things like the right to life. 

The Ugandan laws say that all of us have a right to life, meaning that we are entitled to keep breathing and no one should kill us unless there is happens lawfully such as when a person is found guilty of a very serious crime whose punishment is death.  

These serious crimes are called capital offenses and only the high court can give you this punishment of death. A few of these are murder, kidnapping with intent to murder, rape, aggravated defilement, terrorism, and treason. 

Also, things such as blasphemy are not criminal offenses here, and if Jesus had been Ugandan, he would not have been sentenced to death for this, (or probably even tried).

We Bring You Brief Series of Sanctions Against Uganda Government Officials.

📸: Gen Abel Kandiho. On 9-December-2021, USA slapped sanctions against the then CMI Commander Gen Abel Kandiho. 📸: Gen Kale Kayihura.

Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.

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...
