However, the Lands and Environment minister, Miria Mutagamba acknowledges that as an individual she has nothing to do because these investors claim to be having ‘orders’ from above. She was questioning what she should do for the environment if people are receiving orders from above to destroy it.

However she promised to work hand in hand with the local communities and the ministry of lands to stop giving land tittles to areas located in wetlands.

Justice G. W Kanyeihamba has today barred the secrets on the crevasse of his mind. Justice Kanyeihamba says that the government should recognize Late Andrew Kayiira (he was a military man and a member of the Democratic Party) for his work in the liberation struggle.

While he was moving out from Mr. Frank Gashumba’s Awaken Uganda seminar at Hotel Fairway in Kampala yesterday, Kanyeihamba said that if it was not late Kayiira president Museveni and his NRA rebels would not have won the war against the now defunct UPC government.

Justice Kanyeihamba was the guest of honour at Gashumnba’s Awaken Uganda seminar. Other guests included former ethics minister, Miria Matembe. The seminar was not political but most of the speakers sounded so political.

Kanyeihamba says that He and Andrew Kayiira escaped death while coming from the famous Moshi Conference in Tanzania. The Kenyan government had wanted to hand them to late president, Idi Amin. He says that it was that meeting where Kayiira was the biggest facilitated that partly contributed to President’s Museveni success in military struggle.

Spies have learnt that yesterday the minister of finance, Miria Kiwanuka went into hiding when she noticed that a team from the ministry of foreign affairs had visited her office over the quarterly releases. It is said that the foreign affairs ministry officials have been on the neck of Kiwanuka over the money.

 Realizing that  the foreign affairs ministry officials had gone to get an answer why their ministry had not got the money for the last three months, Kiwanuka reportedly asked the receptionist to tell her visitors that she was out of office yet she was around.

A source in the finance ministry told this snoop that currently there is no money for the ministry of foreign affairs. It explained that the ministry was given money in the last three months but it was not enough to run all the foreign affairs ministry activities.
