The report that was launched by the Uganda AIDS Commissions in Kampala shows that the increasing infections is due to the men who do not like to use protective measures when having sex with their non permanent partners or prostitutes.

Dr. Zainabu Akol says that when conducting the research they found that prostitutes move with condoms but men decline to use those condoms.

Dr. Kihumuro Apuuli, the director of Uganda AIDS commission says that the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS among the prostitutes in Uganda now stands at about 37 percent.

Dr. Apuuli has advised couples to remain faithful and the pregnant women to always take HIV tests such that if they test positive the children are protected from mother to child HIV infections.

Appearing before the legal and Parliamentary affairs committee of Parliament, Peter Nyombi the attorney general says there is a lacuna in the existing laws of the land that the bill seeks to fill.

The minister of state for internal affairs James Baba in his submission underscores the fact that the demonstrators have changed the manner in which they conduct their demonstrations requiring for a law to protect other people not interested in demonstrations.

The Inspector General of Police Gen. Kale Kayihura has appealed to the committee to pass the bill into an act saying the Police have become a punching bag of the Politicians who have failed to iron out their differences, with the spills falling into the hands of the Police.

The deputy chairperson of the committee Bakka Stephen Mugabi has tasked the Inspector General of Police, the Attorney General and the minister of internal affairs to explain why they are insisting on a bill that was not consultative in development, subsequently being rejected by all stake holders.

The committee members seem to agree with the need for a legislation to regulate public gatherings following a series of peacefully turned riotous gatherings although they don’t agree with the bill in its present state.

A number of other stakeholders who have appeared before the committee on the same issue have warned Parliament against passing such a bill as it may turn out a recipe for disaster.

Star Times Digital Television Company has given out assorted items worth 5 million shillings to the Mapera Bakateyamba a home of poor and disadvantaged people in Nalukolongo.

Star Times TV Marketing Manager Simon Arinaitwe says as a corporate company that draws profits from the community, it is obliged to give back to the people especially at this festive season where values of love and sharing are emphasized.

Arinaitwe handed over assorted items including food, detergents, and a television set with Star Times Subscription for ten years to help in the running of the home of the disadvantaged people.

The Assistant Administrator at Bakateyamba Home, Sister Hellen Kobushinge said that the assistance comes in handy because the facility is limited by funds to cater for a big number of disadvantaged people with different forms of disabilities.

The Mapera Bakateyaba Home that was started by Cardinal Nsubuga in 1977 under the Catholic Church currently caters for 80 elderly, clipped and poor people.

 The day was Wednesday and the venue was Kisenyi II parish when Buikwe east MP, Lulume Bayiga had gone there to check on his friend Moses Katabu. Katabu is the LC3 councilor representing Kisenyi to KCCA.

 We hear that while the MP was passing near a group of prostitutes they started calling him all sorts of sweet names. The MP kept quiet and kept on moving to Katabu’s home. Suddenly one of the prostitutes came as if she wanted to tell him something and grabbed his phone and ran away.

The time check was 7:00pm and by this time the prostitutes operating in Kisenyi are already moving all over the area looking for men to have sex with. The MP tried to ask the people around to help chase the woman but they all just looked at him.

The shocked MP went away prompting the on lookers to shout to him that he was now welcomed to the true life of people in Kisenyi.

We have heard that Kakande is being lured to join the faith by the UMSC spokesman Hajji Nsereko Mutumba. A source says that Kakande would be given whatever he will demand if he coverts to Islam and maintains the faith.

The Muslims also want him to expose the origin of the powers born again pastors use to heal the sick, make the deaf ear, blind see, and demands to leave the oppressed.

Recently, Kakande’s son, Ken Kakande also joined islam and he immediately changed his name from Ken Kakande to Abubakar Kakande. We are yet to establish whether prophet Kakande will accept to join Islam.
