Singer and ‘presidential advisor’ on Kampala Affairs Catherine Kusasira aka Maama Kabina is not a happy woman after being blocked from seeing and meeting Ugandan head of state and government, the elderly President Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni.

Ugandan First Lady and Education and Sports Minister Janet Kataaha Kainembabazi Museveni or any of her three junior ministers is expected to inform the nation on the fate of expired university courses or academic programs and degrees after a revelation that has put the quality of the country’s higher education and the seriousness of administrators in a questionable state.

A Ugandan Member of Parliament (MP) and former minister in President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s cabinet has cried out to security agencies for help after she received anonymous messages from a group of rogue and ‘rebel’ security officers threatening to harm her if she does not give them money and push for improvement in their welfare.

A Ugandan opposition MP has reported death threats from a rogue group of ‘tired’ security officers. In an anonymous letter, the group gave the female lawmaker three days within which to pay them Shs10m or wait to take four bullets. 

A number of degrees offered by Ugandan universities have been rejected in universities abroad, leaving many with them cursing. The list of expired degrees indicates that almost all the academic programs (courses) offered by the universities in the Pearl of Africa have since become obsolete and unacceptable in advanced countries abroad.

A fearless Ugandan driver risks losing his job at the country’s judiciary, which is supposed to be the custodian of justice in the country, for using a ‘wrong forum’ to complain about his low pay. Stanley Kisambira has been a driver at the Judiciary for the past 15 years but recently complained that his Shs235,000 salary was too low for him and his family given the high cost of living.

The NWSC Board has re-appointed Eng. Dr. Silver Mugisha as the corporation’s Managing Director on a five-year- term.

All Ugandan civil servants who will not be counted in an ongoing validation and validation exercise of government employees will not be paid salaries in the next financial year which begins in July 2023, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) has announced.

When Stanley Kisambira recorded audios venting his frustration over his Shs235,000 salary, he definitely was aware that his fearlessness would come with consequences. And the Ugandan state has reacted and yet is more to come for the driver who has worked with one of the arms of his country’s government for a cool 15 years.
