Western region ministers on spot for ‘hating’ Muhoozi

KAMPALA: A team of top investigators have been dispatched by Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba's Patriotic League Uganda (PLU) has been dispatched to investigate various ministers who hail from the west for shunning the first son's mobilisation tours. Inside sources reveal that two teams have emerged in cabinet, with one supporting MK while others are secretly avoiding him and distancing themselves from the General's activities. Sources further revealed that apart from Gen Kahinda Otafiire, Ministers David Bahati, Henry Musaasizi, Francis Mwebesa, Chris Baryomunsi, Raphael Magyezi, Jim Muhwezi and Tom Butiime are some of the key ministers who have refused to back the young General.

Stop EACOP funding until human rights abuse on LGBT and PAPs is sorted

BY JAMES KABENGWA OPINION: The latest information from Uganda indicates that civil works for the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) have since commenced amidst lobbying for funding for the same project. Even as the civil works start, gross violation of human rights in this east African country continues unabated. The once treasured Pearl of Africa has since turned into the deepest grave of Africa when it comes to trampling on human rights. Take the case of LGBTs who are currently living one day at a time given that a horrendous law was passed to eliminate gays from a country under led by despot Yoweri Museveni. Once convicted of aggravated homosexuality, the victims are either sent to jail for life or sent to the gallows. Just recently, organisers of a gay party were hunted down by a […]

Monitor, the enemy paper: Spare the ROAD and spoil the child

OPINION: In Uganda, the ‘thing becomes legal when he wishes it’. On that note, the Monitor has become a bad paper, an enemy paper because of the constant and consistent reminders by President Museveni. Since the King has said the paper is bad and may be wishes it so, the high priests, and altar boys and girls followed suit in baptizing the media house all manners of negative, horrific, traumatising and dehumanising names. But, have you visited the media house’s headquarters in Industrial Area, Namuwongo, Kampala City? OMG! It takes lots of courage for one to maneuver the many potholes (ponds, pools and lakes for now) on Eighth Street. For years and years, that road has been one of the worst in the entire city. Whether it is be design, choice or curse, our friends at MPL and their neighbouring […]
