LAW; MUST YOU WARN PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR DOGS ?.

Jajja Mbwa has silent, scary-looking dogs. Rumour has it that such dogs can ‘eat a whole person, so no one ever goes near his gate unless he has given them the go-ahead. The new neighbour did not know this, and while putting his TV Antenna on the fence, it fell into Jajja’s compound. Without asking, the neighbour jumped into Jajja Mbwa’s compound, and the silent ‘killers’ jumped on him and started tearing pieces. Luckily, Jajja Mbwa heard the screams and saved him, but some damage had already been done.

The neighbour is angry because he did not see any notice about the dogs being there. Should Jajja Mbwa have notified people about the dogs he keeps?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

By law, if you believe what you have is a dangerous creature, you have a duty to make sure it does not cause injury to your visitors. This means that when you have people in your home where the dog is and you invite them, you also have a responsibility for their safety.

On the other hand, a person who enters your property but you have not invited is called a trespasser. You do not have a duty to protect this person while they are in your home. This means that they cannot sue you for their injuries.

However, since there are people who are by law allowed onto your property, such as the UMEME and NWSC meter readers, you have to warn them about the dogs to be on the safe side.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...
