By Kundu Ronald Mbarara, Uganda - September 3, 2023 President Yoweri Museveni has made a remarkable gesture of goodwill by contributing 50 million Ugandan shillings towards the finalization of the Emmanuel Church of Uganda in Rwenkanja, located in Kashari County, Mbarara district. This generous donation reflects the President's commitment to community development and the preservation of cultural and historical landmarks. The Emmanuel Church of Uganda has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1965 by the late Esteri Kokundeka. Alongside the church, the Esteri Kokundeka Memorial Primary and Secondary School were founded, both of which have played pivotal roles in education and social transformation within the local community.

By Kundu Ronald In a surprising turn of events, the military court martial located in Makindye, a suburb of the Ugandan capital Kampala, announced the dropping of charges against former Inspector General of Police, Gen. Kale Kayihura. This decision comes on the cusp of Gen. Kayihura's retirement from the Uganda People's Defence Forces, scheduled for tomorrow. Gen. Kayihura's acquittal, which was made public on Wednesday, August 30, has left many questioning the rationale behind the sudden development. Having faced a litany of charges including failure to protect materials and supervise police officers, Gen. Kayihura's legal journey has been marked by both remand and subsequent bail, granted by the same court in 2020. The announcement of the dropped charges follows President Museveni's decision, just a month ago, to retire Gen. Kayihura from his military service. This move effectively marks the conclusion of a distinguished military career spanning an imp...
