The former Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Pius Bigirimana has distanced himself from his own signature that siphoned Billions of Foreign Aid Money stolen from Prime Minister’s Office.

Bigirimana is blaming his junior staff, the former Principal Accountant in the Office of the Prime Minister, Geoffrey Kazinda for stealing the money yet; all papers were signed by Bigirimana himself without Kazinda’s signiture.

President Museveni, not so long ago also employed the same trick to distance himself from his own signature (Banteze empappula) that some people in his government had used to embezzle Billions of Uganda Taxpayers’ Money. The prime suspect Bigirimana is now serving as a witness against Kazinda.

Kazinda, 43, is facing 29 counts of forgery of Bank of Uganda security papers, cash withdraw forms, causing financial loss, embezzlement and forging the signature of Pius Bigirimana. His case is before Justice David Wangutusi.

It seems Pastor Iga of Abizaayo Church in Kawaala has started anti Islamic dark history.

Now all Muslims in Uganda and the world at large may hate pastor Iga for life because he stepped on the holy Quran with his foot.

 The Muslim leaders in Kawaala allege that the pastor stepped on the Holy Quran at Baseesa video hall in Bwaise.

It all begun and as usual, after sheikhs in a Muslim crusade asked the listeners to ask any question related to Islam. This is when Iga came forward and asked for the microphone claiming to ask a question about Islam.

He held the microphone and climbed the platform. Within a few seconds he said: “You Muslims claim that the Quran had powers to kill people for stepping on it, let me step on it too. By the time he finished the sentence, he had dropped the Holy Quran he was holding in his hands and quickly stepped on it.

The Sheikhs and regular Muslims in the audience fumed and immediately seized him.

The Muslims started beating him for death but they realized that if he is killed on their daawa event, all similar events might be banned in the future.

 At this moment some Sheikhs and police protected him from the dangerous objects like stones, metals and bricks but they could let the blows hit him for a lesson.

Finally the police made a safe way for him to safety from the angry Muslims. At a safe distance, Iga then shouted in Luganda that: “Kangende ku polisi mbaloope, ntino munkubye.”(Meaning that let me go to police station and report you Muslims for beating me).

On hearing this, two sheikhs rushed to the police before him since the Ugandan police usually consider who has reported the case first, who is most times believed innocent. On reaching the police station Iga had already filed a case that the Muslims had beaten him.

The sheikhs were asked whether they had really beaten Iga and they frankly said that: ‘Yes, we have beaten this man, how can he abuse our holy book (Quran) yet we respect his bible?”.

The police officer asked the sheikhs;”Do you know that we are arresting you for assault?’ The sheikhs said go ahead and do whatever you want but we are among those who beat him for that grave evil he did’.

The sheikhs were locked up in police cells and pastor Iga walked away freely. The Muslims so have declared the pastor as an enemy of Allah.

East African community (read Republic of Rwanda) could soon become a study centre for cervical cancer vaccine effectiveness and equity.

Rwanda has become the world’s first East African and low-income country to attain universal coverage for the life saving vaccine.

Research results of a national human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme done in Rwanda in 2011 and also published in August in the World Health Organisation (WHO) Bulletin indicated successful lessons that could motivate other countries in Africa to adopt the HPV vaccine programme during their children health immunisation days.

Rwanda attained 93 per cent coverage after the first three-dose course of HPV vaccination.

The World Health Organisation urges other countries in Africa to expand their vaccination programmes to include the HPV vaccine, with due customization according to their epidemiological, economic, political, and health system contexts.

WHO reports indicates that Rwanda’s HPV universal vaccine coverage success is attributed to the use of a multi-sectoral approach involving the health and education sectors.

Our reporters wherever you are in the world, you need to do hygiene watch for your undergarments, especially when you are a woman.

When buying panties, knickers or underwear (read undergarments), try to choose those made of cotton fabric or at least those made with cotton crotch.

In fact the best panties, knickers or underwear are usually not equal in size. So choose a brand that fits the larger bums or those fit smaller or medium bums to avoid squeezing it as this may result in deformity. In case of bras, also choose larger ones as small ones can cause breast deformity.

You can then use a sponge to reinforce the smaller breasts. Also opt for loose-fitting underwear to allow aeration. Hang undergarments in open spaces in order to allow them dry and aerate properly.
