The delegation led by Matthias Bwanika Mulumba say that the ministry of education proposed English, Kiswahili, French and Arabic as the languages to be taught in schools leaving the local languages out of the proposals.

Mulumba says that languages are key aspect of the culture but the selected languages cannot help Ugandans gain insight into their culture.

He also noted that the proposal contravenes with some articles in the constitution including article 37, 36 and 29 all of them which talk about enjoyment of culture languages.

The called upon parliament to intervene and ensure that the status quo remains as the languages have been optional and not compulsory.

The minister of education however has been consistent on dismissing allegations that the ministry is in the process of scrapping off the local languages from the syllabus.

The people who have been thinking that Gen. Museveni may not seek reelection as president of the republic of Uganda after the end of his term of office in 2016 should now read this.

While our informers were on a journey to Mbarara High School, they passed via a poster that read ”MZEE Museveni nomala otulekawo tujja kwekola ekintu.”

At first they were not surprised because the yellow poster was on Kaguta road- the road that heads to Rwakitura, an area where Museveni’s upcountry home is located.

But they later wondered whether there are no Runyankore expressions for such political expressions. The expressions were written in Luganda yet the language spoken in the area where the poster was pinned is not Luganda, its Runyankore/Runyakitara.

The president of Uganda Peoples Congress Dr. Olara Otunu has advised supporters of the ruling political party in Uganda to stop mistreating people. He says that when the big thugs and politicians in government are out of Uganda and have fled to Burundi or Rwanda or US, the small people they have been using to persecute people will remain behind.

He says that when President Museveni and his family members will flee the country, the policemen and soldiers who are persecuting civilians will claim they were obeying orders of their masters from statehouse.
Otunnu says that the people reportedly committing atrocities in president Museveni’s government are adults with brains and they will be held criminally liable.

So Otunnu advises president Museveni’s cohorts, allies, and government officials to keep the diary of the events they do and those that have violated people’s rights to remember that the date and time of occurrence is at their door posts.

Besigye says he recently interacted with an old man on Entebbe road and the man told him that for every government in Uganda to come to an end, many unusual things have to happen first. Besigye says that the unusual things the old man talked about are already happening.

He gave an example of butterflies which recently hit and destroyed plantations in Namakweke Village in Mbale District.

The origins of the butterflies (or ebiwojjolo in Luganda) is not known but they hit Mbale District in the last two or more weeks. Besigye cited many other unusual things that have taken Ugandans by surprise. They include jiggers in Busoga, floods, accidents, and mysterious death.

This is after Barbara Patience Kirabo the woman whose photo was run addressed a rpess conference demaning for an apology and compensation of 500 million shillings for defaming her.

She claimed that the use of her picture has caused her innumerable suffering, including having her fiance cancel their planned wedding later this year, as well as being blamed by people where she passes as the woman spoiling Kabaka’s marriage.

 Kato Lubwama has also been surviving on playing adverts, creating jokes on CBS fm and manning theatres because he could not stand the stiff competition in the music industry. Kato Lubwama has been releasing songs and they fail to sell.

 However it looks Lubwama is determined to penetrate into the music industry as he has recorded a six track music album titled ‘oli wange baby,’ which it is yet to be broadcast on the air waves.

The album like his previous ones it is in Luganda.  It will be launched inKampalasoon. But that will come after he has finished shooting its film.

 Reports from his family have it that the captain who is an aide to president Museveni’s brother, Gen. Salim Saleh indicates that Captain Seiko in collabo with Loketo Lee is shooting a film for his album dubbed ‘Obulamu Bwensi.’

The song Obulamu is a mixture of Luganda and Acholi dialects. The film is expected to hit Uganda’s airwaves soon after its film is ready.

 Now Captain Juma Seiko has joined Sergeant Kifulugunyu and Gen. Elly Tumwine in the music industry. Perhaps Captain Seiko will not release one hit and quit the industry after the army spirits call him back for duty.

The Kanyamas have been put at all the club entrances to ensure that no person enters into the rouge with a camera. Some of the media houses that had been made it a habit to get pictures from the club include Red Pepper, Daily Onion and Bukedde, a Luganda newspaper.

We are told that the club banned cameras because some of the photojournalists would take pictures of half naked women from the club and print them in newspapers.

A source at the managerial level of the club told this informer that ‘we have banned cameras indefinitely because some of our customers have complained that negative reporting was tarnishing their names and image.’
