Nyangasi was convicted on 19th October for murdering his wife but the sentences were left pending.

Today he appeared before court to receive his sentence but the matter has been adjourned to tomorrow because the trial judge was not available due to ill health.

Delivering her judgment last week, High Court Judge Jane Kiggundu said prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Nyangasi killed his wife Christine Dambio .

She disagreed with defence lawyers that the deceased died of pneumonia, arguing that one of Dambio’s relatives saw Nyangasi strangling her.

Prosecution says Nyangasi murdered Dambio at their matrimonial home in Kireka a Kampala suburb on 24^th July 2010 after a misunderstanding related to property and accusations of infidelity.

The victim was found unconscious in the bathroom and rushed to Mulago Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The denial follows A4C’s pronouncement this week at their Katonga road headquarters in Kampala that they had launched a fresh move to walk to work again as a means of holding the Government accountable by holding rallies nationwide beginning with the one in Makindye west constituency.

The Police spokesperson Asuman Mugyenyi says the IGP wants the force to be informed as the normal procedure ahead of time if any proposed demonstration is to take place so that there is sufficient security to the organizers.

He also says the Police are ready to work in cooperation with anyone who wants to exercise their constitutional rights without any hindrance.

A source on FDC National Executive Committee has told us that UMEME has disconnected them over a debt of 600,000 Uganda shillings while NWSC cut off the service over a debt of only 200,000 shillings.

We are told that FDC officials abused the UMEME and NWSC staffs of being used by the government to disconnect them because the workers of these different companies arrived at the same time.

However we have heard that the FDC leaders have resolved to clear all their water and electricity arrears by tomorrow because today their accountant was out of office.

We have been informed that actress Pretty Katende and DJ Shiru are now in close relationship confirming the earlier rumours we had heard in town.

Close pals to the two have informed us that pretty and Shiru are seriously spinning each other left, north, east, central and west.

Our informers met the two at Volts Club in Kibuye yesterday looking very touchy and they were kissing like there were no tomorrow.

Other men many times caress bodies of women but for DJ Shiru she was seen caressing Pretty’s red dress. They were surely having some good time and the DJ exhibited his dating skill.

Many men looked envious to them. We pray that Pretty in future drops a tot for our soft spoken DJ Shiru.
