Hundreds of people in Kampala have called in radio talk shows wondering how the former Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) director; George Agaba, a person facing murder charges could be released on bail pending trial and his co accused, and a guard Santos Makmot remains in the prison.

Some of the callers wondered whether Agaba is out because he is a son of Sam Kutesa, the minister of Uganda for Foreign Affairs or it’s because Agaba is a member of NRM and comes from western Uganda. Most of the callers requested the court to take back Agaba to Luzira prison.

The Nakawa High Court Judge Faith Mwondha granted Agaba bail on Thursday two months since he was remanded in Luzira prison over murder. Agaba is supposed to report to the Chief Magistrates Court every two weeks. Justice Mwondha gave Agaba bail on grounds of ill-health in connection to spinal sickness and his former body guard, Makmot Santos remained on remand.

Agaba was remanded to Luzira prison on January 31 in connection with the botched demolition exercise in Kampala in which one person was killed and scores injured.

During last Thursday’s meeting NRM MPs were divided over exonerating Tumusiime Mutebile for his role in the 142 billion shillings compensation to city businessman Hassan Bassajjabalaba.

The NRM MPs argued that they would not accept to be swayed by the president and would stick to the parliament’s recommendation that Mutebile be personally held liable for his commissions and omissions in the Basajjabalaba saga.

Museveni on Thursday pleaded with MPs to spare Mutebile reasoning that while Mutebile erred in not consulting, he technically committed no offence under Ugandan laws.

Museveni says that whereas Mutebile never consulted him before making the commitments, the MPs need to save him for the sake of the economy. Museveni says that Mutebile has for a long time been without blemish so the MPs should spare him.

She left behind a note. It read: “A note to police and my family members. I am sorry to have killed myself. But it was because of debts.”

Nansubuga had made similar complaints to her family members last week when she met her parents in Bunamwaya, Wakiso district. Nansubuga in the note indicated that she had a bank loan she had failed to service and she had no job.

A bottle containing poison was found bedside her bed when the police and residents entered her house. The police are not looking for killers because there is evidence that Nansubuga killed herself.

Her family members and some neighbours have recorded statements. John Kanyike, a brother to the deceased says the deceased would be buried in Masaka on Friday. The police have taken the body to Mulago National Referral hospital for a postmortem.

Mwasansozi says that if the Kabaka felt it was not necessary for people to talk about the new born prince he wouldn’t have told the Katikkiro to make the matter public.

Mwasansozi says that Buganda has no powers to criticise President Museveni that he is dictatorial when it also not democratic. The Buluri cultural leader reminds the Kabaka and his fellow leaders of Buganda Kingdom that freedom of expression is an inherent human right that is provided for under Article 29 of the Constitution of Uganda.

The Buganda kingdom on Thursday warned against the publication of stories about the kingdom’s baby prince Richard Ssemakookiro and his mother.

In a news statement signed by the Katikkiro (prime minister) of Buganda J.B Walusimbi, Buganda warned that it will no longer accept apologies from people or institutions which intentionally or unintentionally talks ill about the prince and his mother. Mwasansozi says that all that is rubbish because all Ugandans have freedom of speech and expression.

Barbra Patience Kirabo told a news conference in Kampala on Thursday that she has suffered irreparable damage from the publication of her photo as Kabaka’s new mistress.

Barbara Patience Kirabo denies being Kabaka prince mother, Nansikombi

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.

The acting chief whip of NRM, David Bahati says that the one-week retreat is scheduled to start on Thursday January 12th at the National Leadership Institute in Kyankwanzi.

The retreat comes at a time when most of the MPs on the NRM ticket are sidelining with the opposition to fight the increasing case of corruption in Uganda government. Bahati says that the retreat will help NRM to tame their members who are sidelining with the opposition to fight the government in power.

The retreat has also come at a time when the country is in a deep financial crisis and hundreds of Ugandans hardly get one meal a day. Some of the voters in Uganda due to poor sanitation, corruption scandals and political unrest in Uganda, want to recall some of the leaders in parliament.
