Machuchu was waiting for his punishment for murder for 3 years before it was time for him to face the death penalty. When Machuchu’s turn to face the death penalty came, he was hanged 4 different times and each time, the rope would get torn, and he would fall, and they would try again. Eventually, the executioner gave up and told him to return to his cell until they could figure out what to do with him. Now all of them are confused, and they want to know what they should do with him. What should be done to a person when the death penalty fails to work on them?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

First, it is unlawful to take someone’s life in Uganda except when this is done to fulfil a punishment passed down by the courts of law for a very serious crime (called a capital offence), which is carried out by the government. When this happens, we say a person is facing the death penalty.

For example, if someone commits a very serious crime like murder, and they are found guilty of it, they may be sentenced to the death penalty. This means that they will be put to death as punishment for what they did. Usually, the death penalty is carried out by hanging by the neck until dead, by firing squad or by lethal injection in some countries.

What this means is that when a person is sentenced to death, that punishment must be carried out and it must be done in such a way that it does not cause undue unreasonable suffering on the person who is being punished.

In Machuchu’s case, even if the punishment was not correctly carried out the first time, the officers must make sure they carry it out as required by the law (which means he must be hanged until he is dead, then the body is taken down).

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...

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 U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. 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...
