President Yoweri Museveni says Uganda will continue cooperating with Russia, noting that it's not Kampala's doctrine to be an enemy of other people's enemies. President Yoweri Museveni says Uganda will continue cooperating with Russia, noting that it’s not Kampala’s doctrine to be an enemy of other people’s enemies. He made the remarks on Tuesday at a press conference in Entebbe alongside Russia’s Foreign Minister, H.E Sergey V. Lavrov, who is in Uganda as part of his tour in Africa in a bid to strengthen Moscow’s relations with the continent. “We want to trade with Russia, we want to trade with all countries of the World. We don’t believe in being enemies of somebody’s enemy, no. We want to make our own enemies not to fight other people’s enemies, this is our doctrine,” Museveni said on Tuesday. “When there was the cold war, one day they asked me a question, ‘are you pro-east or pro-west?’, I said you must think I am an idiot, why do you think my main job is to be pro-some...

So, the person you demand ‘big’ money has just been declared bankrupt. This is probably worrying news for you because you cannot sit in front of his door or send threatening letters through your lawyers until the person pays you. This does not mean the end of the world for you and that ‘ka-money’. What it means is that now you must be a bit more patient and go through the person court has appointed to know the next thing that will bring you closer to your money. That next thing will be called a meeting of creditors where you will bring proof and details of how much you demand, and you will participate in appointing the person going to sell off or manage the property of the person with your money so that it can yield your ‘missing’ money. (That person is called a trustee). Remember, if you are too busy to keep tabs on what is happening, the law allows you to appoint a representative to sit for such meetings and follow up with the trustee to get your money. When this person (trustee) sta...

  “With the support of EducationUSA, I got to learn about the Mastercard Scholarship at UC, Berkeley and applied to the Berkeley School of Public Health.  Upon admission, I was invited to apply for the scholarship and after a rigorous selection process, I was chosen to be among the Mastercard scholars cohort of 2022,” Joy says. “To me, getting an American education means getting an opportunity to attend a world class academic institution while receiving mentorship from notable research professors to build the right capacity I need for a shared, successful future in an interconnected world," she adds. I hope to leverage the incredible opportunities an American education comes with, to grow professionally and to broaden my perspective both intellectually and culturally. I am looking forward to building meaningful and life-long networks with both students and faculty while at UC Berkeley. Thank you #EducationUSA for providing an environment where students’ dreams come alive. Go B...

By Collines Jeremiah Mawa At the onset of independence in 1962, Uganda sought a self-government under the Multiparty system. This demonstrated the conciousness in Ugandans; that a Multiparty political environment would gurantee stability. Several challenges experienced in the following years after Independence made it inevitable for that first attempt at political pluralism to fail.  In retrospective, these negative experiences remind us of the fragility of an open and competitive political system and its reliance on committed, responsible and credible actors on all sides and at all levels. After taking over power, the (NRM) proclaimed an era of “fundamental change”, based on a  “Ten-Point-Programme”. The new President promised an interim period of four years for restructuring the system and creating democratic institutions. Museveni did not allow a multiparty system and prohibited political party activities in the interim period during which a new constitution was to be elabo...

Sande has been jobless for the last three years and he believed that at this rate, he would probably never get another job until Munaku Traders Co. Ltd called him for an interview. It turns out he was the best person for the job and was given the position of ‘Sales Associate’. On getting home, his housemate told him that he remembered that Munaku Traders had financial issues and had possibly been ‘bankrupted’. Sande does not want to lose his new job but wants to know if a company that is ‘bankrupt’ is allowed to hire.   WHEN IS A COMPANY BANKRUPT? When we say a company is Bankrupt, we mean when that company cannot continue to run its business because of its debts. When a person (an individual) is bankrupt, they can continue ‘living’. Unfortunately, when a company is declared bankrupt, it means that the company’s life must come to an end. This is called liquidation (the process of putting an end to a company’s operations and work).   CAN YOU WORK FOR SUCH A BANKRUPT COMPANY? By...

Uganda has gone to the dogs. The Electoral Commission denominated me 2021 elections when it ruled against me for not changing my name using a Deed Poll. In the the case of Ojok Andrew Oulanyah, the EC cleared him and ruled that he didn't require a Deed Poll since he was not changing his name as it appears in the National register. That though his name on the academic documents are different ( Ojok Andrew O), his name in the national ID/ national register was the same he used for nomination. The EC therefore ruled that since Ojok Andrew Oulanyah was not changing the name in the national register, he only needed to cure the variation with a statutory declaration which he did in 2016. The facts of the case of Ojok Andrew Oulanyah are identical to my case. I used the name Andua E. Drani and Andua Drani on my academic documents and in the national register and for nomination, I used the name Andua Martin Drani. Like Ojok Andrew Oulanyah, I cured the variation by the use of a statutory d...

Narrator: The deathstalker is one of the most dangerous scorpions on the planet, and what makes it so dangerous also happens to be the most expensive liquid in the world.  This stuff costs $39 million per gallon. Now, even if you had the money, you couldn't just go and buy a gallon of the stuff, because you can only get it in tiny, minuscule amounts. $130 will get you a droplet that's smaller than a grain of sugar. The reason why is pretty simple: the stuff is hard to get. Scorpions are almost always milked by hand, one by one. And one scorpion produces, at the most, just two milligrams of venom at a time. So, let's do the math. If you owned one scorpion you would have to milk it 2.64 million times to fill a gallon. And let's face it, you'd probably get stung along the way as well. One sting isn't enough to kill a healthy human, but I think it hurts. Steve Trim: I'd easily put it being a hundred times more painful than a bee sting, but because pain is a subj...

By Oguzu Lee Denis, MP Maracha Constituency. Rt. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I hope this finds you doing well. I'm writing to you in relation to your stewardship of the House. Even as  jubilant as members have been with your work as once expressed by the Woman MP for Butambala who for lack of better word addressed you as "Mr. President" to a standing ovation of your fans, many now feel agrieved and betrayed by your actions and decisions on ROKO. Buttressed by teachings of Martin Luther King that "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," motivated by the words of Edmund Burke that "The only thing necessary for triumph of evil is for all good men to do nothing," cognizant of the provisions in our rules within which to review Speaker's decisions and reconsider matters already decided upon by the House, i write to bring to your attention what amounts to a blatant abuse of our Rules of Procedure and  consider is da...
