This inspector general of police General Kale Kaihura wrote a letter to Jennifer Musisi asking her to postpone the exercise saying that the police is currently incapacitated to sufficiently provide security at the ceremony and the celebrations that will follow since the police is now concentrating on securing the visiting heads of state and the pilgrims who are trekking the country for martyrs day celebrations due on 3rd next month.

But addressing a news conference at his offices in Kamwokya, Lukwago said that the postponement of the swearing in ceremony is just intended to block him from taking oath.

KCCA Councilor Bernard Luyiga

He says that his views of objecting to the proposal of holding the KCCA budget meetings from a hotel in Entebbe is the basis on which some of the city councilors base on to castigate him.

The KCCA councilors want Bernard Luyiga to explain why he leaked this information to the public and apologise to the council for that matter. But Luyiga says that apologizing to the council on the subject is really out of Order!

“ I know the laws of Uganda and international laws very well. No one will intimidate me into submission. I know some of my friends are KCCA councilors/politicians and I hope they get my stand! I will not apologize for having brought this matter to the attention of the Public. One thing I have to say. I stand my ground and won’t retract what I shared with the Public,” Luyiga states

“This is freedom of speech. I am ready for any consequences if fellow councilors deem it fit for me to be subjected to any disciplinary measure. For God and My Country just continue to do what you think is good for the people , maybe they lucked what to say in council and wanted to build on you.”

In politics every person is important. Makerere University councilor Bernard Luyiga is now full of smiles after the president general of the Democratic Party (DP) Norbert Mao appointed his party’s special envoy in charge of universities.

Luyiga formerly a member of DP made an alliance with NRM councilors at Kampala City Council in a bid to become the deputy Lord Mayor. His actions politically shifted him from DP to NRM, at least in the eyes of political analysts.

Luyiga even went ahead and acquired police body guards. The people who may have queries’ on this issue (of gun) should ask Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. But Luyiga’s critics have been baffled after Mao appointed him the DP envoy in charge of Universities. Luyiga we hear has already accepted the appointment. Luyiga however denies reports that he crossed to NRM. He says it is only Lukwago’s questionable leadership in Kampala what makes him (Luyiga) to support NRM plots against Lukwago.

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.

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) councilors boycotted a meeting called by the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Lukwago had called the meeting to approve the fees for taxi operators working in Kampala. The meeting failed to take place on Wednesday at KCCA head offices in Kampala.

Lukwago told journalists that it was the councilors who had requested him to call the meeting but he was surprised when the same councilors rejected the meeting they had wanted.

The councilors were supposed to endorse the 120; 000 shillings set by the KCCA director, Jenifer Musisi or endorse the taxi drivers’ proposal to pay 70, 000 shillings per month.

Only six councilors turned up for the meeting with Lukwago. We are told that the KCCA director took the councilors who were meant to be in Lukwago’s meeting on a tour of the city.

Addressing journalists today at his office, Lukwago said, according to the auditor general’s report, Musisis has illegally recruited her technical staff naming the PRO, financial manger, legal experts,
logistical manager, drivers among others adding that most of the officers are not qualified for these posts and are still receiving double pay from URA and KCCA, a thing Lukwago says is
illegal.

Lukwago also pins president Museveni for now helping to get Musisi out of the roaming trouble by holding meetings at state house with Musisi and officers from the auditor general’s office to defend Musisi by doctoring the report.

Lukwago and the transparent councilors are now calling on the auditor general to make the report which was produced on 28th/Jan/2012 public so that laws grab the blue eyed lady of the
president.
