The parliament was discussing whether the bank of Uganda Governor Tumusiime Mutebile should be fired because of his reported role in awarding the above sum of money to Basajjabalaba.

The corridors of power were saying that the president had instructed the ruling party MPs not to support any move that would lead to the firing of the Central Bank Governor.

Gen. Tumwine said that Mutebile has to go in the same way the former ministers, Khiddu Makubuya and Syda Bbumba went. He reportedly added that the time for Uganda to get ride of the corrupt public officials in now.

The Media for Liberty Award seeks to acknowledge and encourage media contributions that explore the relationship between economic and political liberty.

The most outstanding entry, published or transmitted in the preceding calendar year (between January 1 and December 31) will receive an award of $50,000.

Economists and political theorists have long debated the relationship between economic liberty (i.e., freedom of individuals to make economic choices in a free-market environment) and political liberty (i.e., freedom from government intervention and fostering of civil liberties).

Prominent economists such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, have argued that free economies are conducive to, or even an inseparable element of, political freedom.

The promotion of economic and political liberties requires continual examination by policy makers both in the United States and across the globe. But the media can play an equally vital role in promoting these freedoms through its treatment of and attention to issues of the day, and the societies, cultures and people who are either prospering or struggling in their pursuit of them.

Journalism – from various viewpoints and in various format – that illustrates this correlation will become increasingly relevant as boundaries are lifted and these ideas applied globally.

Sample topics and issues might include (but are not limited to):

• Government involvement in private enterprise (TARP, health and financial reform)
• Dependency on foreign oil
• Access to healthcare (universal care, rationing, Medicare)
• Sovereign debt
• Basic goods (food, housing, healthcare) becoming prohibitively expensive for the middle class consumer
• Ultimate cost of globalization from a societal, cultural, economic perspective True cost of ethanol and its impact on food and fuel
• Fair trade
• Global tax and regulatory changes

Entries must have been published or transmitted via print or electronic media between January 1 and December 31.

Eligible media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, journals, radio, television and websites, must be generally recognized in their markets and accessible to a broad audience in the United States.

Mwasansozi says that if the Kabaka felt it was not necessary for people to talk about the new born prince he wouldn’t have told the Katikkiro to make the matter public.

Mwasansozi says that Buganda has no powers to criticise President Museveni that he is dictatorial when it also not democratic. The Buluri cultural leader reminds the Kabaka and his fellow leaders of Buganda Kingdom that freedom of expression is an inherent human right that is provided for under Article 29 of the Constitution of Uganda.

The Buganda kingdom on Thursday warned against the publication of stories about the kingdom’s baby prince Richard Ssemakookiro and his mother.

In a news statement signed by the Katikkiro (prime minister) of Buganda J.B Walusimbi, Buganda warned that it will no longer accept apologies from people or institutions which intentionally or unintentionally talks ill about the prince and his mother. Mwasansozi says that all that is rubbish because all Ugandans have freedom of speech and expression.
