Parent’s of Murdered UCU Law Student Demand for Compensation.

The Uganda Christian University (UCU) student who was on Thursday allegedly stabbed to death at Makerere University during guild campaigns has been laid to rest.

Bewatte Betungura, 25, who was a law student at the UCU-Kampala campus was buried amidst tears of hundreds of mourners who thronged Malere Village, Biguri Sub-county in Kamwenge District on Saturday.

The deceased was son to Mr Benson Mucunguzi, a school head teacher of Kyabenda Primary School in Kamwenge who asked “government to ban multi-party politics in learning institutions.”

"I had to look for all the money to ensure that my son achieved his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. I have been spending about Shs5 million per semester but now his life has been cut short," he told mourners.

Mr Mucunguzi further demanded compensation from government over his son’s demise as he also urged “quick investigations to bring the killers to book.”

According to him, Betungura had gone to Makerere University to see his Old Boy (OB) from Mbarara University who was one of the many contestants for guild presidency at Uganda’s oldest public university where deadly political violence erupted.

Ms Jesica Natukunda, said the family had a lot of hope in her killed son who had even promised to build them a better house after school.

"This is a great loss to the family. He was always telling us that our family life will be better after completing his university studies," she said.

According to her, Betungura “had no background of politicking but liked making friends.”

Betungura’s sibling who is in Senior Four said her brother challenged her to score aggregate 8 in her UCE exams during their last conversation on Sunday.

"He loved me so much because we have been competing. He wanted to become a lawyer and I want to become an engineer. On our Senior Four leaver’s party, he bought me expensive shoes. I have promised never to study at Makerere University because I can't study from where my brother died," UNEB candidate Shivan Ainembabazi said.

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...

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
