The director of KCCA had earlier issued a directive last week that the vendors get stalls in city markets and leave Old and New Taxi Parks today.

Kayihura halted the eviction after receiving reports that the vendors were planning to burn taxis during the eviction. A source in police says that the traders will still be evicted soon.

On Thursday I was with colleagues from Kampala Capital City Authority and we decided to join the fun fare in the Pioneer Easy Buses.

I jumped to one going to Entebbe International Airport. The passengers in the bus were shouting and scorning the taxis they passed by.

They started saying that change always benefits the common people. The passengers told the policemen in the bus to go tell the inspector General of Police Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura to let Co. Kiiza Besigye usher to Ugandans the long awaited change. The journey was to cost me 2,500 but I paid only 800/= shillings.

Former Uganda Vice President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya

On Monday last week the Anti-Corruption Court discontinued the hearing of some of the CHOGM cases against Bukenya basing on the IGG’s directive to do so.

Apollo Kibira, a former contestant for the National resistance Movement Secretary General office says that the IGG has to explain why he withdrew the cases noting failure to do so his lawyers are going to file suit against him.

Kibira explains that the IGG talked to the press conference in Kampala stating that he has all evidences implicating Bukenya but all over sudden withdrawing the charges without giving reasons.

Kibira says that this act will not go unpunished because it puts the taxpayer’s money at risk if the likes of Bukenya sues the government for damages.
