Museveni noted that the late Rev. Can Geresomu Ruhindi has left behind a legacy the general public should emulate for all he has done as a person on earth.
The President said that the late Ruhindi was not only an evangelist but also a teacher who taught communities on poverty eradication, health and encouraged them to educate their children
Former prime minister Mbabazi said Ruhindi treated them as his own sons when they married his daughters and taught them and his children to work hard.
The late Ruhindi served the government, church and general community in different capacities as teacher, priest, and court assessor and as senior citizen.
Dr. Chris Baryomunsi, the state minister for housing and urban development, urged the church to put a project and name it after the late Ruhindi in honour of his works of developing the church and the evangelism he spread in the whole of Kigezi.

Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze has for the first time, since her arrest 10 days ago, spoken out, saying she is not repentant about the social media post that landed her in trouble, especially if it hurt President Museveni.
She said she has no regrets whatsoever for her social media post on the late Ibrahim Abiriga because there is nothing wrong she did. She added that if what she wrote hurt his family, then she is sorry, but if it hurt Museveni, then she is very happy.
She also accused a section of government officials of using politics to block her treatment.
About her social media post, the former Journalist said she wrote exactly what’s going on in the country, adding that the late Abiriga was used and dumped by the ruling NRM.
Meanwhile, Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) has directed police to free Ms Nambooze.
A letter authored by UHRC boss, Mr Medi Kaggwa, to IGP, Martin Okoth Ochola, was triggered by a petition by Ms Nambooze’s lawyer, Erias Lukwago, for the rights body to intervene in the matter.
In his letter, Mr. Kaggwa raised concerns that if anything happens to Ms Nambooze as a result of the delay in her medical treatment, it would raise legitimate questions as to how she was treated while in police custody.
He added that the commission therefore requests for your urgent intervention to ensure that MP Nambooze’s rights are respected and that she is released so that she can travel to receive treatment.
Ms Nambooze’s ward is still heavily guarded by security personnel; something she said is uncalled for.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:
Socialite Judith Heard has been in the media recently for a number of reasons mostly due to her nude pictures and saucy videos that were leaked. But she is back again after throwing shade at rival socialite Zari Hassan.
Heard and Zari have been reported to be at loggerheads since they both have parties they push for. Heard has been known to be working for Sue Ochola’s Arab Money party while Zari has her All-White party.
“Who is Zari?” she asked our reporter. This shocked the latter who asked how come she did not know yet they used to hung out together in the past,
This prompted Nnalongo Heard to intimate that she simply hates Zari’s name.
“I do not like saying Zari’s name because it’s not important to me,” she said.
When prompted to explain more about this situation Heard said that she was not comfortbale being Zari’S friend because they both have different beliefs.
“We can’t be friends because we are different people. She likes things different from mine. No one chooses your friends. I don’t wanna be her friend. I was not comfortable and I chose to cut the friendship. It’s a choice I made,” Heard said.
She, however, blamed the public and the media for making a mountain out of a mole hill for entertainment’s sake.
“The public is the one that makes a big deal out of these events. It’s mostly media that blows it out of proportion because they want to make sales.

DESIRE LUZINDA STOLE MY SONG- SOPHIE GOMBYA
Again in the spotlight for wrong reasons. Rumour has it that Desire Luzinda’s latest track titled “Manyi Ga Mukyala” was stolen from Singer Sophie Gombya.
Artiste Sophie Gombya and her manager are claiming that the song originally belonged to them.
Sophie says she bought the song from a songwriter named Ice Melody. “We bought it and went to record it at Monster Studios. The environment wasn’t favourable though so we left the studio. We found people smoking weed so we pushed the recording to a later date,” says Gombya’s manager.
He adds that “We were shocked to hear the song playing on the radio.”
However, the songwriter Melody says, the song belongs to Desire.

I CAN SPEAK PATOIS FROM MORNING TO MORNING- BEENIE GUNTER
Local dancehall musician Beenie Gunter is known mostly for his energetic stage performances of songs heavily loaded with patois.
Some of his fans have, however, been heard grumbling about whether he speaks and sing ‘real patois’ but yesterday, he came out and said the dialect synonymous with Jamaicans was actually the real deal.
“I became interested in Patois while I was in Primary Three after listening to Beenie Man,” Gunter told a group of youth during an MTN- Career Expo in Kampala yesterday. The career day expo was organised as part of MTN’s 21 days of Y’ello Care. “Right now I can speak patois from morning to morning without stopping. I am self-taught and I took years to learn.”

Gunter also advised the youth to believe in themselves if they are to become successful in life.
“I am living off music because I am living my dream. One day my girlfriend told me she was waiting for the day I will inspire people. And today here I am talking to fellow youth about making it in life. You can be anything you want to be in life as long as you believe in yourself and God.”
I have believed in myself and surrounded myself with people who matter and that is how I manage to make my today be better than yesterday.

TRANSFER NEWS:
Pogba swap
Man Utd star Paul Pogba could be heading to Barcelona in a shock swap deal involving Ivan Rakitic, reports in Spain claim.
France international Pogba struggled to impress under Jose Mourinho this season, with the £89m midfielder having numerous bust-ups with the Special One.
And according to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, Mourinho is willing to include Pogba in a stunning swap deal for Barca midfielder Rakitic.
They say the United boss is desperate to sign the Croatia international this summer – and he’s happy to lose Pogba in the process.
Man Utd blow
Manchester United transfer target Serge Milinkovic-Savic struggled to hid his excitement when asked about joining Juventus.
“I’m with the national team,” said the 23-year-old after Serbia’s 2-1 defeat to Switzerland on Friday night.
“The World Cup is a beautiful thing and now I’m not thinking about what to do next but only to my national team and do everything possible to reach the last 16.”
Asked specifically about joining Juventus, Milinkovic-Savic tried to play it cool, adding: “I can smile, but I have to think solely about the World Cup.
“Then we’ll see what to do.”

Rugani on the move?
Daniele Rugani is closing in on a move to Chelsea according to reports in Italy.
Tuttosport claim that Juventus are already making plans on how best to replace the Italian international, who is a target of Chelsea’s incoming new manager Maurizio Sarri.
The 23-year-old worked with Sarri at Empoli and is thought to be receptive to a reunion at Stamford Bridge.
And now Tuttosport claim that Juventus want Diego Godin from Atletico Madrid and Ajax star Matthijs De Ligt in to replace Rugani and Mehdi Benatia.
Any deal could set Chelsea back as much as £40million.
Fekir to Man Utd?
Nabil Fekir could be heading for a shock move to Manchester United, after Lyon president admitted speaking to Jose Mourinho in Russia.
Yesterday he revealed Real Madrid were interested and claimed other big European teams were too.
And today, speaking to BeIN sport, he claimed he’d been in talks with the Manchester United manager.
Aulas said: “I was with Jose Mourinho the other day. We had long discussions.”
Alderweireld update
Man Utd remain interested in Toby Alderweireld as they look to bolster their defence this summer.
Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the Belgium star and is keen on doing a deal with Tottenham this summer.
But Manchester United are worried about being held to ransom by Tottenham for a player who turns 30 next season.
United are desperate to add strength to their defence and have held talks with Spurs over a deal for Tottenham.
They did initially want to do a deal before the World Cup but it quickly became apparent that Tottenham would not negotiate easily.
Tottenham are inclined to sell this summer ahead of next season when a clause in Alderweireld’s contract can be triggered and he can be signed for just £25m.
They are looking for around £60m this summer with United seeing if they can get better value elsewhere.
Wilshere warning
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has been warned by Chelsea star Olivier Giroud following his decision to let Jack Wilshere leave the club.
England international Wilshere announced this week that he’ll leave the Emirates this summer after 17 years at Arsenal.
And Giroud, who was Wilshere’s team-mate for five years at Arsenal, says Emery’s decision could come back to haunt him.
“It’s big news and I’m very sad to hear it, because he’s a good friend,” said Giroud.
“Jack is a good lad, a very good player, very talented and it is a shame he has had so many injuries.
“But he came back well last season and it was good to see him on the pitch, enjoying his game and being strong.
“It’s a big loss and I hope he will bounce back as soon as possible at a good club.”
Hazard replacement?
Eden Hazard could be replaced at Chelsea by Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore, Duncan Castles claims.
He told the Transfer Window Podcast: “One player Chelsea have taken an interest in is Adama Traore, who Paris St-Germain are looking at as well.
“That tells you where Chelsea are at.
“They see Adama Traore as a potential signing if they have to sell Willian or Eden Hazard. He’s certainly not an upgrade on either of those players.
“He would need a lot of development.”
Hazard has been tipped to join Real Madrid this summer.
Sandro going nowhere
Man Utd are set to miss out on Juventus star Alex Sandro, reports in Italy claim.
The Brazil international has been tipped to head to Old Trafford this summer.
However, according to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Mourinho will not sign Sandro in the coming weeks.
They say Juventus are already planning for next season – and Sandro is will be in their starting line-up.
Juve see Sandro as their long-term left-back, with Joao Cancelo, currently of Valencia, set to start the season at right-back.
Asensio bid?
Liverpool have tabled a £123m bid for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio, stunning reports in Spain claim.
Spanish news outlet Diario Gol sensationally say Jurgen Klopp is desperate to land the winger this summer.
They say the Reds have tabled a £123m (€140m) bid for the highly-rated 22-year-old.
Diario Gol add that the offer includes up to £35m (€40m) in add-ons, with the deal potentially costing around £160m.
