The ongoing wrangles between Ms Musisi and the Kampala district land Boss Yusufu Nsibambi who is also a prominent lawyer in town ranges from the land in Kampala which is so prime that Ms Musisi wants to give to her bosses without following the proper procedure of the area land committee more so in a fraudulent manner that a man of Nsibambi’s caliber cannot accept.

We are told that Jenifer now opts to change the whole administration of the committee so as to bring in rubberstamp administrators whom she can influence upon decisions of her bosses. Upon realization of this, the lord mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago quickly intervened to give Nsibambi an office so as to form a solid frontline of professionals against Ms Jenifer Musisi.

The NRM leadership is now gambling with former MP Alintuma Nsambu whose relationship with Buganda Kingdom establishment is as sour as the word its self.

Sources tell us that Nsambu is expected to use his financial martial to battle it out with DP’s Mathias Nsubuga in a parliamentary by-election in Bukoto south, in Masaka district.

Meanwhile FDC is also in search for a candidate following a bitter verbal exchange with DP over EALA elections.

The seat fell vacant after the nullification of the former area MP Muyanja Mbabali over lack of enough academic papers. Nominations for the post are slated between 13^th to 14^th June, 2012.

Oak International Human Rights Fellowship: The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights was established in 1998 by a generous grant from the Oak Foundation.

Each year, it hosts an Oak Human Rights Fellow to teach and conduct research while residing at the College.

The Institute organizes lectures and other events centered around the fellow’s area of expertise.

The purpose of the fellowship is to offer an opportunity for one prominent practitioner in international human rights to take a sabbatical leave from front-line work to spend the fall semester (September-December) in residence at Colby.

This provides the Fellow time for respite, reflection, research, and writing.

While all human rights practitioners are eligible, we especially encourage applications from those who are currently or were recently involved in “on-the-ground” work at some level of personal risk.

Following the period of the fellowship, the fellow is expected to return home to continue her/his human rights work.

The Oak Institute seeks one frontline human rights practitioner outside of the United States for residence at Colby.

Possible areas of human rights work on behalf of those incarcerated may include, but are not limited to:

• living standards and health care in prisons, pretrial detention
• illegal imprisonment
• detained non-citizens
• the right of legal representation
• juvenile detention
• education and practical training for inmates
• post-detention rehabilitation
• families of inmates
• disciplinary procedures
• prison privatization
• gender and racial discrimination in incarceration
• political prisoners, prisoners of war, torture, sexual abuse, brutality, and the death penalty.

Application Deadline: 15th December.
