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

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

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.

The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
