Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA) president, Betty Olive Kamya has warned Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago of interfering with Kampala Executive director, Jennifer Musisi’s work inKampala.

Kamya who is also the former MP for Lubaga North says that Lukwago should leave Musisi to do her work as he does his because the people of Kampala want services but not wars between Musisi and Lukwago.

She says that Lukwago and Musisi have better chance to improveKampalaif they work together. Kamya says that power struggles would ruin the city andUgandaat large.

Kamya further accuses Lukwago of inciting violence amongst taxi operators and UTODA saying such acts don’t portray him as a good leader.

However Lukwago says he criticises the manner in which KCCA and Ms Musisi as a person conducts KCCA activities. The Lord Mayor says that Musisi conducts duties meant to be executed by the lord mayor without the consent of the Lord Mayor.

In the documentary Russell does mention that Joseph Kony has moved on from Northern Uganda. Russell simply mentions that LRA war is one of the neglected conflicts in Africa. This is true; LRA is one of the neglected insurgencies in Africa.

Russell mentions that the Ugandan army (UPDF) is still trying to rout Joseph Kony and needs US help. This is also very true even if we (Ugandans) may not like the USA support.

If the UPDF has indeed made Kony a money-making machine for themselves using Kony as a trap, is it not better that Kony is neutralized so that the UPDF loses that particular escape goat? So Russell is the ‘white man’ saving Africans again – well if Africans will not do it why can’t we let humanity prevail whatever its color?

I hear Russell spends most of the money he raises on salaries, travel and other fun projects and not on the children of Northern Uganda. That is abominable and unfair, but this movie has given us the chance to expose him and perhaps improve accountability. We hope that unlike the Ugandan government he has a conscience! But again, what is making everyone hoping mad about Russell’s documentary?

This is surely some good news for supporters of MP Brenda Nabukenya. The rumour we have got now is that she could be two months pregnant.

Nabukenya won the recent Luweero district woman MP by election polls. Her close pals in DP rumored to us that she could be pregnant and the man responsible if it is true she is pregnant is not yet known to the press.

We are not confirming that the legislator is pregnant. But it is only rumoured that she could be pregnant. DP insiders tell us that if it is true the legislator is pregnant, the man responsible could be one of the vibrant and loaded men in the Democratic Party.

Some of the vibrant and loaded men in the democratic Party include Deputy Lord Mayor, Sulaiman Kidandala, DP Legal advisor and Mukasa Mbidde. Our investigation team is going on to investigate whether really the MP is pregnant. Remember Brenda is not yet blessed with a baby.

The coordinator of A4C Mathias Mpuuga says that the group is planted in opposition to throw stones at the police such that the force gets a chance to ban the A4C rallies.

The police last week warned to ban A4C rallies on grounds that the leaders of A4C have failed to control their members from being violent.

The Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura last week warned A4C to stop holding rallies without police permission. However Mathias Mpuuga says the government created the stone throwing group to discredit opposition.

Mpuuga says that the government and the Police own these stone-throwing men who disguise as opposition activists and throw stones at police and innocent citizens.

Our reporters walked on the streets of Kampala and randomly asked Ugandans what they think about the anticipated war betweenIranandAmerica. Many of the respondents wishedIranto defeat America.

Sheikh Mohammad Musa of Kibuli Mosque says that a chance has come for Americato be challenged militarily and technologically. Sheikh Musa condemns America for being behind human loses inRwanda, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan among other countries. He wished its downfall. Another Ugandan Denis Matovu, a Christian and a trader on Kampala streets was no different from Mohammad Musa who was a Muslim.

He says that many people in the world are not happy with America’s negative plans on other countries. Matovu says that Americait seems is not happy with Iran’s progress in science and technology. It should also be noted that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his predecessor Akbar Rafsanjani are good friends of president Museveni and the ruling party in Uganda, the National Resistance Movement.

She tells us that she is beautiful because she eats well, and takes care of her body.

 Miss Uganda has also told our informers in Kampala that she doesn’t have a lover and she is seriously searching for one.

 So if there is a man out there who is interested in being hooked by a Miss Uganda better hurry up. This is a golden chance for you.  

 Sylivia Namutebi says that she had a boy friend but she quit that relationship because it was boring. Otherwise it did not work out properly for her.  

 Miss Uganda says that she wants a man who is God-fearing, gentle and presentable. She also says that she is not easily moved by men targeting her with money because love is not made by money alone.

We have been told that Yawe has bought a chunk of land in Kireka and he is constructing a house in it. Sources say that Yawe wants to be a resident in Kyadondo East by the time the next general elections would take place.

We have heard that Yawe has realised that he will have no chance of winning Kampala Central MP seat considering the fame the area MP Nsereko has got at the grass root. Nsereko is a darling in Kampala due to his open critic of the ruling party and president Museveni in particular.
