Can i Kill Stray Dogs 🐕 ?.

Mawula is tired of seeing those dirty, diseased-looking dogs around his compound. At night, the cats groan near his windows as the dogs howl and chew his car tyres. He asked his neighbours about who owned those animals, and everyone denied it. So over the weekend, Mawula bought some poison, and he plans to finish off all of them.

Is this legal?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

The law (Local Governments (Kampala City Council) (Livestock and Companion Animals) Ordinance, 2006) says that when an animal is stray (not confined at a home), the KCCA has powers to impound and take that animal to wait for its owner to pick it up. If no one picks that animal up, then KCCA has the power to ‘destroy’ it.

On the other side, you as an individual may need to tell your local council about that stray animal disturbing you so they can deal with it. This is because the local council may have different humane and safe means of taking care of these animals that you may not, such as disposing of the carcasses.

The law protects animals against cruelty, so any person who cruelly beats, kicks, ill-treats, tortures or even poisons any animal will have committed an offence. Therefore, as an individual, you must refrain from dealing with stray animals unless you get permission from the local council.

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...
