Kampala Deputy Lord Mayor, Sulaiman Kidandala was finally approved two months ago but he was yet to get a single penny as Deputy Lord Mayor because he was not yet sworn in.

The Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago had first blocked the swearing in ceremony of Kidandala because the Lord Mayor reasoned that he had done it a long time ago and he could not repeat the process.

But this was funny because if that was the case, he would not have brought back Kidandala’s name for approval as he did two months back. The rigidness of Erias Lukwago had therefore made the swearing in of the KCCA Deputy Lord Mayor as complicated as it was during the appointment of the Deputy Lord Mayor. In fact this forced the president of the Democratic Party (DP) Norbert Mao to ask that ‘WHO PUT A SPELL ON KCCA?’

However  the Deputy Lord Mayor Sulaiman Kidandala was finally sworn in on Tuesday by the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Sylivia Nabaggaala.

Late last year, Nakawa Chief Magistrate Charles Serubuga conducted the same ceremony but the judiciary nullified it, saying that the magistrate had over stepped his jurisdiction to administer the oath.

Muslims around the world are currently observing the holy month of Ramadhan according to the Islamic faith. So today we bring you the dos and the don’ts all Muslims must know and observe during the month of Ramadhan. Ramadhan is the (9th months on the Islamic calender). Muslims fast for 30 days and there after they celebrate Iddi El Fitr.

No eating and or drinking whilst fasting.  Lower your gaze, and there must be no arguing or fighting and no committing sins during the month of Ramadhan. No backbiting, making false swearing and lying.

Avoid smoking, don’t waste time on useless activities, and don’t listen to music even if it’s Christian music in praise of Allah.

Pray all five times a day (observe salaah’s on time), study and learn Islamic knowledge and teachings, recite, read and learn the holy Quran. Muslims earn so high when they observe these Ramadhan codes.

Peoples’ money in Uganda is spent extravagantly. We have been told that the swearing in ceremony of the new Makerere University Guild President, Ivan Kata has cost the university 200 millions. The money has been used to buy eats, buffets, sodas and beers just to please the students.

The swearing in ceremony took place at Makerere University’s main hall on Friday and the guest of honour has been Democratic Party President Norbert Mao.

Ivan Kata is a member of the Democratic Party. But the NRM members and leadership in Makerere have condemned the university’s decision to use 200 millions in organising a students party when some halls of residence are leaking, students eat poorly and some corners of the university have no security lights. The critics say that the university would have used only 20 million shillings in organising the party.

Kata thanked the students’ leadership for intrusting him with the mandate to lead the ivory tower (Makerere University). He promised to cough fire when president Museveni’s government or the ministry of education and or Makerere University passes anti students policies.

The KCCA Executive Director Jennifer Musisi and other council technical officers failed to block his swearing in ceremony.

Kidandala was sworn in amidst heavy police deployment and harassing of his supporters by the government security agencies.

The Kampala DPC, Norman Musinga commandeered the police officers who blocked most of Kidandala’s supporters from accessing city hall.

Kidandala was appointed the Kampala Capital City Authority Deputy Lord Mayor by the Lord Mayor of Kampala, Alhaji Erias Kidandala in October this year.
