Ssekikubo says that he is ready to hand himself to the Special Investigation Unit as soon as he gets to town.

Ssekikubo explains that there is no reason for him to hide since he has not committed any crime.

He however says that his concern remains detention beyond the acceptable hours since all courts are still in a recess.

The speaker ofHoimaMunicipality, Paul Amanya has complained that the area mayor, Mrs Mary Mugasa has taken over his powers. Amanya says that the mayor working together with the town clerk, Pius Epaju have swapped his powers of calling meetings and preside over the council meetings.

Addressing a press conference yesterday at Triangle Hotel on Buganda road in Kampala, Amanya said that for example the mayor recently invited councilors to pass the 25% vote on account budget without the speaker’s consent and an order paper as stipulated in the local government act, financial regulations act and the standard rules of procedure. Franked by Hoima Municipality Youth Councilor, Brian Kaboyo, Amanya said that he was planning to sue the town clerk and theHoimaMunicipalitymayor over the development.

Amanya also accuses mayor Mugasa and the town clerk Epaju of failing to implement and supervise the lawful policies and decisions passed by the council sittings. Mugasa says that the road network, schools and hospitals in Hoima are in poor state but the money meant to do the work is being stolen reportedly by the technical staff as the mayor looks on.  Amanya says he would not sit down and watch when corruption and abuse of office is taking place in Hoima. The speaker is also displeased that the town clerk has not given the council an audited report for the past one and half years.

Amanya says that he petitioned the official of the local government minister over the lift between him and the mayor but the officials in this ministry seemed to be in favour of the mayor so he opted to go to press.

Makindye West MP Hussein Kyanjo’s life is now reported to be out of danger, we can exclusively reveal. There have been rumours in Kampala that Kyanjo was poisoned and or bewitched by his political enemies in a certain camp.

His family sources have told us that this MP is recovering steadily after undergoing a jaw surgery. Kyanjo was operated upon in Lubaga.

However Kyanjo still has a problem with his tongue. He cannot talk well because doctors replaced his teeth. MP Kyanjo was advised not to talk a lot before he completely recovers. This perhaps explains why we no longer hear his voice in parliament.

On Thursday there was a rumour in town that Kyajo had died. However, his wife Sarah tells us that MP Kyanjo is on the road to recovery. The doctors at Mulago hospital says that when a person is suffering a dislocated jaw, it is difficult to open the mouth.

The doctors in Dubai have also told us that Kyanjo is complaining of extreme headache and inability to concentrate.

Following intelligence reports that sections of the Batwa, Bamba and Babwisi were planning to kill the Rwenzururu king (Kabaka), Charles Mumbere, the security has been beefed up in Kasese town council and around his palace.

Rwenzururu King, Charles Wesly Iremangoma

It is said that , the Batwa, Babwisi and Bamba ethnic tribes don’t subscribe/ recognise Mumbere as their King. These groups of people have been protesting against Mumbere’s leadership for along time. They accuse Mumbere of buildings shrines in worship of his small god widely known as Satan.

The security reports indicate that the three ethnic tribes who do not subscribe to the Rwenzururu Kingdom want to attack Mumbere’s palace in Kirindi Trading Centre, Kirindi Parish,BusaruSub-county and they kill him from there.

The people of Kasese and Bundibugyo are on tension now; every person fears for his/her life. The ministers in charge of cultures have already held crisis meeting over the matter.

Every tribe in Mumbere’s kingdom has its own traditional values, virtues and norms and therefore they don’t pay allegiance to Rwenzururu Kingdom though they share the same names.

Sources say that the tension is being perpetuated by prominent people in government who don’t want Rwenzururu to get a king.

Sources in Uganda Police say they have learnt that if you change currency at King Fahd Plaza, particularly at Dollar House, watch out. They say they have got unconfirmed reports that there is a Somali cashier who will tell you that your dollar bill has a fault.

That it was washed and is white but the change can’t be seen with naked eye. Then as you leave someone will approach you and offer to change your bad note but give you less amount. Since you are not sure that it is the same bill you had earlier (it could have been switched under the counter) you will agree. The probe has come at a time when some people had started spreading information to people that it is better to avoid King Fahd altogether.
