The Lord Mayor of Kampala, Lawyer Erias Lukwago has threatened to sue the Uganda government owned media house, The New Vision for revealing his reported illegal business deals to public.

Lukwago says that it is now obvious that Mr. Kabushenga, the managing director of the New Vision is bent on using the state owned Vision Group to malign and extra assassinate him to inter-alia divert public attention from the on-going parliamentary probe.

The Lord Mayor says that he has already taken a decision to drag the New Vision to court should they fail to retract their fabricated stories within four days starting from Monday 18^th February 2013. Lukwago also assured the New Vision and the Uganda public in general that this red herring shall not derail him from advocating for law of law, democracy and peoples rights.

The New Vision reported today that Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has been accused together with 17 others of illegally collecting over 3.8 billion shillings from the city abattoir and disobeying a court order.

The newspaper went ahead to report that Lukwago and his group have allegedly been collecting the money from October 2011 and by December 2012.

Following the publication of a photograph of a woman who the editorial team of the New Vision Group believed at the time to be the mother of the new born Buganda prince, Richard Semakookiro, the Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has asked all people in Uganda and across the world to stop the talk on the new born prince.

Speaking through his Katikkiro (prime minister), Eng. John Baptist Walusimbi, the Kabaka said that the full details about the new born prince and its mother would be revealed at the right time.

The Kabaka says that since the Katikkiro announced the birth of the new prince, several media houses, radio panelists and people on social networks like facebook have written literature and uttered statements that belittle the traditions, norms and virtues ofBugandakingdom. The Kabaka says that although he is a king a remains an individual who has a right to privacy. He says that it is improper for news publications like the New Vision, Bukedde Newspaper, Bukedde TV and all their sister organisations to write lies and belittling stories about the Kingdom of Buganda and the royal family in Buganda.

On January 24, 2012 the Chief Executive Officer of the New Vision Group, Robert Kabushenga authorised the publication of a photograph of a woman, and stated that she was the mother of Prince Richard Ssemakookiro.

Kabushenga apologised to the audiences across the country and the world at large for the mistake and regreted any inconveniences caused to the woman in the picture.

He stated that this was an error of judgment for which he took full responsibility. The Kabaka through his Katikkiro has said that all the information the New Vision and her sister media houses have been publishing concerning the looks of the mother of prince Semakookiro are false.

She says her fiancee who she was to introduce some time this year has called off the relationship following the publication of the photo.

Kirabo also says she is insulted wherever she passes as someone who is breaking Kabaka’s marriage with the Nabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda.

Her lawyer, Francis Harimwomugasho, said Kirabo, a mother of one, was injured and is seeking an apology from The New Vision and a compensation of 500 million shillings.

Kirabo appeared at the press conference in the very clothes the picture depicted her in yesterday when the two newspapers claimed they had finally uncovered the identity of the prince’s mother.

It was not possible to get a comment from The New Vision about the controversy, but the Kingdom of Buganda issued a statement denying the photo to be that of Ssemakookiro’s mother.

 But this is not the case with the FDC President, Col. Kiiza Besigye. He has told the members of FDC inKampalathat for him he doesn’t read the Daily Red Pepper, Onion, Entasi and Kamunye newspaper. Why? Besigye says this is because the above newspapers are reportedly used by the NRM government to write negative stories about FDC and Besigye.

 Besigye also says that he hardly read the government owned newspapers of the New Vision and Bukedde because they too are used to fight opposition.

 The FDC leader says he only reads the Weekly Observer and the Daily monitor because according to him these two newspapers write professionally and accurately.
