Shamila looked for a job for a while even after graduating with a first class in ‘SWASA’. So, she started her own job as an influencer on social media. She used all the tricks she could think of to get clicks and likes for the companies she was influencing for. Sometimes she even used ‘seductive’ pics and even ‘twerked’ a few times.  One of the people she did work for recommended her for a SWASA job and she did the interviews. Turns out it was a Christian NGO who even told her that they would do a background check to make sure that she was ‘the right fit for them’. A week later, they got back to her with an email of  ”we are sorry to inform you..”. When she wrote back to find out why they had withdrawn their job offer, she was told that they found her “G-string’ influencer pics and her comments...

The school where Mabirizi’s daughter goes has just called. His daughter has been rushed to hospital after having some reaction to the injection she was given by the school nurse. It turns out that the school was immunising all the girls and his daughter got a bad reaction. Mabirizi wants to sue the school for immunising his child without his permission. Can he sue them? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? By law, (the Immunization Act 2017), it is the duty of parents to make sure that their children are immunized against killer diseases such as polio, tetanus, etc. This is because a child (a person who is below the Age of 18 years) cannot legally make decisions for themselves and these decisions must be made by a person who has parental responsibility over them. This can be their biological parent, guardian or...

No! if you are a parent or a child and there is no disagreement or refusal by one of the people involved or should be tested, you can voluntarily take a DNA test to find out if ‘those’ parents or children are really yours. However, if one person denies or refuses responsibility, you cannot force them to just ‘do a test’. You must apply to the court to declare who the parent or child is. Part of this means that the court may order that the involved people take a DNA test to find out who the parent or child belongs to. : Unsplash

Katono is a very suspicious man about anyone who asks for personal details about him. When he was 19, the LC Chairman came with some people and took his details promising to deliver a bicycle to him. Instead, only the LC Chairman and his family received them. So, he swore to never give out any information again.  The last time there was a population census, he was approached by officials to get details about his family. They asked him about ‘how many children he has’, how many TVs he owns, and if he was making any money, etc. He refused to answer and told them this was a plot by the government to steal his ‘things’ and chased them from his home. Katono’s wife is now worried that he may have done something illegal. So, she wants to know, is it a crime to refuse to be counted? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?...

A motor third party is insurance that protects you from the financial responsibility of causing damage or injury to others while driving a vehicle. It does this by helping you pay for the expenses of someone else whom you accidentally harmed or whose property you damaged with your vehicle.  For example. If you are driving your car and accidentally hit and damage someone else’s car, then Instead of paying for the repairs yourself, the insurance company will cover the costs to a certain extent, so you do not have to foot the entire bill. However, this only happens if you have third-party motor insurance.  WHO NEEDS IT?

Following Uganda’s constitutional court ruling on 5-May-2023 which repealed the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) 2015 which among others prohibited the sale and consumption of several narcotic drugs like Marungi, Opium and so on, the Parliament of Uganda is yet again intending to move a motion to re-table the law.
