High court Judge Jane Kiggundu said that Nyangasi was meant to protect his wife as a husband but instead turned against her breaking the law.

The judge however said that the convict was not handed a death sentence because his children needed him after losing their mother.

Nyangasi was convicted on 19th of October 2012 of murdering his wife Christine Dambio.

He is said to have murdered his wife Christine Dambio at their matrimonial home in Kireka B a Kampala suburb.

He is said to have beaten and strangled his wife after a misunderstanding related to property and accusations of infidelity.

The victim was found unconscious in the bathroom and rushed to Mulago Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The 1995 Constitution of Uganda provides for freedom of speech, expression of opinion but this is not the case with the UPDF soldiers.

A senior army officer in UPDF rang one of our informers this morning and wondered why the commander in chief of Uganda’s armed forces reportedly put standing orders that restrain soldiers from speaking to the media without authorization.

The officer said that even if they serve in the army they remain with a right to give an opinion, to speak to the press and or to tell the world what do not go down well in the army. The senior army officer asked journalists to discredit this standing order until it is scrapped.

The soldier told us that the standing orders are that ‘whoever speaks to the press without authorization risks dismissal from the army with disgrace and or imprisonment.
