Kalinge says hoped that the Inspector General of police Kale Kayihura would own up and indicate whether the search the police made recently on his car was authorised by him or
any other police officer.

The petitioner wants to know whether the search was a legal operation or an illegal operation done using official police cover. Kalinge says that until now, Kayihura has not responded to his statement.

In a slight comment to a posting on Ugandans at heart, Kampala Police spokesperson Ibn Senkumbi told the public that Kalinge lied when he said that he had spoken to a journalist about the incident.

The NRM leadership is now gambling with former MP Alintuma Nsambu whose relationship with Buganda Kingdom establishment is as sour as the word its self.

Sources tell us that Nsambu is expected to use his financial martial to battle it out with DP’s Mathias Nsubuga in a parliamentary by-election in Bukoto south, in Masaka district.

Meanwhile FDC is also in search for a candidate following a bitter verbal exchange with DP over EALA elections.

The seat fell vacant after the nullification of the former area MP Muyanja Mbabali over lack of enough academic papers. Nominations for the post are slated between 13^th to 14^th June, 2012.

Last night at about 3:00am a fire fight ensured between UPDF 13 Batallion troops and warriors from Tepeth ethnic group in upper Mathenic Tapac sub county in Kodonyo viollage Moroto district as UPDF carried out a cordon and search operation to recover a gun prior stolen from an LDU in Nakapiripirit and the 6 heads of cattle stolen by the same group.

As the group sensed police and UPDF joint operation into their area by deploying their local dogs which in turn reported the presence of the force, firing at troops started by about six warriors who were together with other civilians in huts.

In the exchange of fire a woman identified as Najagai Murokol was injured on the leg while a 5 year child Nacap Nangiro on the arm. These were later evacuated by UPDF to Moroto barracks health centre for first Aid and latar to Moroto referral hospital for proper treatment.

Some culprits were arrested and 36 heads of cattle impounded waiting for proper identification and handing over to rightful owners.

This is one of the few incidences that have only remained synonymous to the Tepeth community who stay on the tip and slopes of mountain Moroto. This group should stay warned that UPDF will continue disarmament and carrying out preventive and abrupt strikes to recover any illegal gun within their hands. Other tribes have been lagely disarmed but a few of the Tepeth community members have always used the terrain advantage to hide some guns in the mountains. UPDF is an agile force that can operate in any environment and thus the Tepeth local leaders and elders should advise their members to hand in the remaining few guns and desist from provoking other tribes by stealing their animals. Otherwise such operations will continue and we give a final blow to lawlessness in Karamoja.

 Turinawe is the head of the Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) Women’s League. Ingrid was arrested on Monday in connection with treason charges.

 A source working with police has told us that they have conducted another search of the residence of Turinawe in Manyangwa, in Gayaza road to establish whether she actually doesn’t have prohibited military weapons.

 A source says that they went back to Turinawe’s home because she did not cooperate well with the police during the first and second search. A source says that the police picked her from Najjanankumbi and went with her to her home for the search.

But till now the search committee ofMakerereUniversityhas not yet been instituted by the university council to get a substantive chancellor to avoid a situation where the oldest university inUgandais plugged into a leadership vacuum.

The chairperson ofMakerereUniversityconcerned students association, Winston Nsibirwa when contacted for a comment requested the university council to stop their usual carelessness and institute a search committee that will avail a new university chancellor-because the chancellor is supposed to preside over the fourth coming graduation.

 The University and other tertiary institutions act 2003 provides that an acting chancellor can not preside over a graduation.
