Kizito finally went on a date 6 months after he broke up with Samali. Then he bumped into Samali who was working at the restaurant. Somehow, they started arguing and Samali decided to give some ‘advice’ to Kizito’s date. She told Kizito’s date to stop dating ‘short men’ like Kizito just because they have some money especially when they are as ‘bad looking as him because they are serial cheaters. Kizito’s date got scared and left him immediately.  Kizito wants to know if he can sue his Ex for abusing him in public like this especially infront of his new catch.   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? In law, you are free to say what you think about something. This is called having an opinion. You need to be sure what you say is true, or factual. If your statements are untrue and they are intended to damage another person’s reputation. Then you have committed an offence known as defamation. For someone to be answerable for defamation, there must be 3 things.  1. The statement must be untrue, or misleading.  2. It must be made to someone other than the person who is complaining.  3. It must be capable of damaging that person’s reputation or changing how people will look at them. Although a defamatory statement can be either written or spoken or both, in Uganda, it is only a criminal offence if the statement is written. For you to win a case about ‘spoken’ statement you must show that there was a special damage. For example, if Kizito was using his looks and height for making money such as being a model, then it would be damaging for his ex-girlfriend to call him short, ugly and it would also need to be untrue.  So, what happened to Kizito does not amount to defamation.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
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...

By Editor
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...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. 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...
