AM I ENTITLED TO KAMEEZA MONEY AS A SIDE CHIC, AND IS THERE A STANDARD FEE?

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Click on link for more.

For three years, Nalumansi has been an ‘official’ side chic. She has told all her friends how her ‘sugar zazzy’ gives her “kameeza money” every week and even pays her rent and how he sends her mobile money if he is in a rush. But of late, Nalumansi is looking pale, ‘mbu’ the Kameeza money is not coming as it used to, and she thinks the ‘official wife’ may be the cause of her problems. Nalumansi wants to take matters to the law and wants the court to force ‘sugar zazzy’ to continue giving her kameeza money or officially ‘divorce’ her with some payment.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

“Kameeza” money (what in law we call maintenance/ money or support given by one spouse to another) is not a legal requirement unless couples are separating, divorcing, or have agreed to it.

It is not a legal right, so the court cannot enforce it unless you have a child. (the law puts a duty on a parent to look after their child) However, If the two (the married couple) agree to put this in writing, it can become an obligation to pay the “kameeza” money, and failure to do that amounts to a breach of contract, and the wronged party can sue for damages.

On the other hand, a side chic is taking part in adultery, which is a marital offence. Therefore, if there is a contract for ‘kameeza’ money, the courts may reject and refuse to enforce it. This is because the law does not assist in illegalities or things that may be deemed as being against public policy and morals. This is because it could mean that the law and courts are encouraging adultery in marriage by allowing the contract to pay ‘kameeza’ money to a side chic.

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.

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.   Can ...
