Stray Bullet Hits Arua District Health Department Landcruiser.

The officials of Arua District this morning 28-12-2022 woke up to an unfortunate incident of a stray bullet from unknown assailant (s) that hit packed Landcruiser, registration number "UAA 774N" belonging to Arua District health department.

According to information obtained, Arua City Police Forensic Experts said, the ammunition that was used to shoot at the properties, appears to be unique and not an AK47 Gun, which is commonly used by police officers.

From the accounts of the guards of Coperate Security Service (U) Ltd, a security company hired by Arua District to guard the headquarter, the bullet appeared to have been shot from the main road on the side of Arua CPS.

The bullet went through a thick water tank and later hit the bonnet and front mirror of the Land Cruiser.

The guards Mr Drazu Timothy and Alioma Philliam who were on duty in that fateful night have recorded their statements at Arua CPS.

Mr Sunday Onekalit, the regional manager of Corporate Security Services (U) Ltd said, their company only has SR Guns, a semi-automatic rifle which they give to their guards in various duty posts, a statement which aligns with what some of the security experts said.

The manager has pledged to cooperate with the security agencies in investigating this incident.

The Arua District Deputy RDC Mr Ham Ezama Mizamil condemned the incident and urged police to feed office of the RDC with comprehensive report about the incident.

He cautioned security officers and the general public to be at the watch out of any criminal activities amidst the public.

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...

They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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.
