Musa was riding his boda boda going home. While on the road, Kafeero’s goat came running into the road from nowhere and Musa hit it. The goat fell and died. Musa’s boda boda also got damaged and needs to be repaired. Musa is demanding that Kafeero repair his motorcycle for him, but Kafeero is also demanding that Musa should buy him another goat or give him 200,000 UGX for the goat. Who should be compensated in this case?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

According to the law, if a person brings to his land and it escapes, that person is answerable for all the damage of the escape. This means that if anything on your land escapes and goes out and causes damage, then you are responsible for that damage. Additionally, according to the Uganda Traffic and road safety Act, if you are in charge of any animal and you allow it to become a danger or annoyance to the public, you commit an offence and you could be liable to pay a penalty on conviction.

This therefore means that as an owner of an animal, it is your responsibility to make sure that you take care of your animals and that they do not escape to cause damage to another person’s land. Ifhowever you let your animals escape and go to a road and that animal creates danger or annoyance, then you are liable for the damage caused by that animal. In the above case therefore, Kafeero has to pay Musa for the damage that was caused on his motorcycle.

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...

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 ...
