President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has continued to echo his voice on unnecessary arrests against the youth. According to the issued last week, Museveni noted its high time the police force stoped arresting Ugandans on Idle and Disorderly charges. “Since some time ago, even in the time of Gen. Kale Kayihura, I had had occasion to warn the Police about the anti-people and colonial practice of the Police arresting our people, especially the youth, for a nonsensical so-called crime of “idle and disorderly”.” Museveni. Museveni wondered why this should be a crime, “If I am unemployed and I hang about the park, why should somebody accuse me of the crime of “hanging” around (okwehugizaaho)? It is the colonialists that feared the Africans being around that drafted that law. It should be repealed.” “All people that have been arrested on account of this nonsensical crime should be released immediately and all prosecution discontinued because, in any case, the Police and the Courts have g...

According to the association’s President Sophie Ggombya, Museveni has paid for the subscription fees and the identification card money on October 3, 2019, at the association’s offices based at National theatre. The Mandatory subscription fee and an additional fee for the association’s identification card were paid through the Musician’s manager Balaam Barugahare. Museveni released his debut song called ‘Yes Ssebo’ in 2010, which is an Afro-beat fussed track that features female soloists in the interludes. In 2015, he released a new song ahead of the national election in 2016 called “Yengoma” which failed to hit.

Phishing is still one of the widely used strategies by cybercriminals and espionage groups to gain an initial foothold on the targeted systems. Though hacking someone with phishing attacks was easy a decade ago, the evolution of threat detection technologies and cyber awareness among people has slowed down the success of phishing and social engineering attacks over the years. Since phishing is more sort of a one-time opportunity for hackers before their victims suspect it and likely won't fall for the same trick again, sophisticated hacking groups have started putting a lot of effort, time and research to design well-crafted phishing campaigns. In one such latest campaign discovered by cybersecurity researchers at Check Point, a Chinese hacking group, known as Rancor, has been found conducting very targeted and extensive attacks against Southeast Asian government entities from December 2018 to June 2019. What's interesting about this ongoing 7-month long campaign is that ...

President Museveni interfaced with thousands of young people who had gathered to demonstrate love for their country. The function was organised by the National Patriotism Secretariat and other young people like city events promoter Balaam Barugahara. Museveni commended the leaders of the patriotism clubs across the country, which he started about a decade ago, for inculcating the love of country in young people and helping them appreciate history. Beyond patriotism, these clubs also teach basics like hygiene and other health-related issues plus wealth creation, he noted. He said the government will support the national patriotism SACCO with Shs1 billion mainly for wealth creation activities. “I thank all the people who turned up at Kololo".

Google wants your face — especially if you’ve got “darker skin.” To get it, the company has funded a facial recognition project that’s targeting people of color with dubious tactics, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the project told the New York Daily News. The company’s goal is to build a massively diverse database, ostensibly so products such as the biometric features on its upcoming Pixel 4 smartphone don’t suffer from a racial bias. In the past, facial recognition technology has notoriously had a harder time identifying people with darker skin. Google wants to avoid that pitfall — so much so it paid to have hired temps go out to collect face scans from a variety of people on the street using $5 gift cards as incentive. A Google spokesperson acknowledged the goal of the data collection. “We regularly conduct volunteer research studies. For recent studies involving the collection of face samples for machine learning training, there are two goals. First, we want ...

Together with Capt. Mike Mukula, the chairman of Mahathi Infra Uganda Limited and UIA board member Morrison Rwakakamba,we inspected the fuel storage terminal and lake Victoria fuel transport system in Bugiri-Bukasa along L.Victoria. The project, which was recently commissioned by H.E  Yoweri Kaguta Museveni will store up to 70 million litres of fuel making it one of the largest fuel terminals in East and Central Africa. Upon completion the costs of transporting petroleum products are likely to drop by almost 50%. The Fuel terminal and transport system will help ease transportation of fuel between Kenya and Uganda since the Kenya has a fuel terminal at Kisumu on L.Victoria. Petroleum products transported by road are quite costly and susceptible to adulteration and accidents. The transport system will also ensure reliability in petroleum supplies, provide direct employment to both Ugandan and Kenyan citizens and indirect employment to many due to development of ancillary indu...

Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has described as false and baseless media reports claiming that the Force has arrested some supporters of opposition pressure group ‘People Power’ found donning red berets. This comes a couple of days after UPDF included a red beret and other items in the country’s first-ever gazette of all military clothing, which states that any member of the public found in possession of the items “is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life”, under section 160 of the 2005 UPDF Act. According to the army spokesperson, Brig Richard Karemire, the move to gazette the UPDF dress code was endorsed by the top organs of the army which also commended the dress committee for concluding the task assigned to it years back. Whereas, the UPDF Notice gazetted berets with the UPDF logo as a monopoly of the armed forces, some ‘People Power’ leaders including Bobi Wine already came out and claimed that the army targeted their ‘People Power’ berets. Important to...

The European Union can order Facebook to monitor and remove illegal content from the platform, even if it's posted by people outside of the EU, according to a landmark ruling by Europe's top court. The Court of Justice of the European Union said that Facebook may need to comply with takedown requests globally. "EU law does not preclude a host provider such as Facebook from being ordered to remove identical and, in certain circumstances, equivalent comments previously declared to be illegal," the court said Thursday 3 October 2019 in a press release. The ruling relates to the case of Eva Glawisching-Piesczek, the chairwoman of Greens Parliamentary Party in Austria who asked an Austrian court to order Facebook to remove comments that she said were defamatory. Facebook didn't respond to a request for comment. The decision arrives amid a debate about how far-reaching EU laws can be in forcing internet companies to remove content. It follows a ruling last week...

Google promised over a year ago that the wireless version of Android Auto would work out-of-the-box on any Android 9.0+ phone, but that hasn't quite panned out. The only devices that have been able to use it are Google's own Pixel devices (plus the Nexus 5X and 6P), but that finally appears to be changing. A Google support document was just updated to state that several Samsung Galaxy phones are now compatible with Android Auto Wireless, including the Galaxy S8/S8+, S9/S9+, and S10/S10+. The Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, and Note 10 are also compatible. In all cases, the phone has to be running Android 9 Pie or newer with (at least) version 4.7 of the Android Auto app. Of course, you'll still need an Auto head unit (or a car) that supports the wireless mode, which can be fairly expensive.

Remember the Simjacker vulnerability? Earlier this month, we reported about a critical unpatched weakness in a wide range of SIM cards, which an unnamed surveillance company has actively been exploiting in the wild to remotely compromise targeted mobile phones just by sending a specially crafted SMS to their phone numbers. If you can recall, the Simjacker vulnerability resides in a dynamic SIM toolkit, called the S@T Browser, which comes installed on a variety of SIM cards, including eSIM, provided by mobile operators in at least 30 countries. Now, it turns out that the S@T Browser is not the only dynamic SIM toolkit that contains the Simjacker issue which can be exploited remotely from any part of the world without any authorization—regardless of which handsets or mobile operating systems victims are using. WIB SIM ToolKit Also Leads To SimJacker Attacks. Following the Simjacker revelation, Lakatos, a researcher at Ginno Security Lab, reached out to The Hacker News earlier this...

However, government could not turn them into employees because of the limited financial resources. But President Museveni, who was addressing crime preventers’ coordinators from various districts on Thursday, said government would help support them from where they are to improve on their welfare through Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisations (Saccos.) “Form Saccos based on skill; if there are engineers in this group, they can form a company and we support them at the district level,” he said. At the same function, the President also launched the National Wealth Creators Union, which aims at representing, promoting, assisting and sustaining the crime preventer Saccos, as well as mobilise for financial and non-financial activities. According to the National Chairperson of Crime Preventers, Kamugisha Blaise, the Union was a result of the advice from the President who had encouraged them to be exemplary wealth creators. He also noted that Saccos formed were not only for savi...

            COMMENTARY.      Kiswahili, the Language i hate with its origination from Swahili. It is a Harbor that only existed from Asian Countries and is been used by the Minority. As is the Case in Uganda, it is rarely used by the Security Officers (Army and Police) especially when Persecuting in Dark Scenes and also to hijack the Victims from understanding what exactly they are Talking and Plotting.

Singer turned politician, Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone has endorsed leader of the ‘People Power’ political grouping and fellow musician, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine) as the country’s next President. Chameleone was Tuesday addressing residents of Masindi, Hoima district at the final political rally ahead of the Hoima district woman MP by-elections scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday September 26. The MP seat fell vacant after Tophace Kaahwa Byagira (NRM) chose to represent the newly created Kikuube district that was carved out of Hoima in July 2018. Top contenders in the election are FDC’s Asinasi Kamanda Nyakato supported by a combined team of the opposition Democratic Party (DP), Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) and ‘People Power’ movement and NRM’s Harriet Businge Mugenyi. According to Chameleone who is also Democratic Party’s National Mobiliser, Ugandans should in 2021 replace President Yoweri Museveni who has been in power for over three decades, w...

Ecuador officials have arrested the general manager of IT consulting firm Novaestrat after the personal details of almost the entire population of the Republic of Ecuador left exposed online in what seems to be the most significant data breach in the country's history. Personal records of more than 20 million adults and children, both dead and alive, were found publicly exposed on an unsecured Elasticsearch server by security firm vpnMentor, which made the discovery during its large-scale mapping project. For a country with a population of over 16 million people, the breach exposed details of almost every Ecuadorian citizen, including President Lenín Moreno as well as WikiLeaks CEO Julian Assange, who was given political asylum in the country in 2012. The unsecured Elasticsearch server, which was based in Miami and owned by Ecuadorian company Novaestrat, contained 18GB cache of data appeared to have come from a variety of sources including government registries, an automotive ...

Fellow Ugandans and, especially, the Bazzukulu It says, in the Church of Uganda Prayer Book, on page 5, as follows: “They left undone what they ought to have done and they did that they ought not to have done and there is no truth in them”. In Runyakore, it says: “Bakareka ebibashemereire kukora, bakora ebibatashemereire kukora, n'amazima tigari muribo". It is most interesting to see how some of the elements of the Opposition are jubilating about some authorities in the USA who have recently declared that General Kale and some members of his family will not be allowed to enter the USA in case they want to travel there. Before I comment on the action of the USA Govt in the matter of Kale, I should, first of all, say that, that excitement among some elements of the Opposition shows the poor quality of their spectacles when it comes to issues of Africa and Uganda. Why do they think that going to the USA or, indeed, any non-African country is so important that if you are not ...

The 30 years partnership was signed at the union's headquarters at Wandi trading centre in Katrini sub county, Arua district.
