In Kampala—
Police have asked Ugandan pop star Robert Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine to call off his planned music concert at Namboole National stadium on Saturday.
In a letter replying to the director Emma Promotionz and marketing agency, Emma Serugo, who had requested for security during the concert, Asuman Mugyenyi, the head of the Police Operations Directorate said Namboole stadium management were not aware of the Kyadondo East MPs music show.
The management of Namboole National Stadium has availed us with a matrix of events they plan to host from September, 2018 to January 2019 but does not include the above music show (Kyarenga Album launch). You are therefore, advised to call off the music show since you have not made any arrangements with management of Mandela National Stadium to host the music show on October 20, 2018, reads part of Mugenyis letter written on behalf of Inspector General of Police, Martins Okoth-Ochola.
This comes just a day after the pop star who returned from Kenya on Monday expressed frustration over the failure by Uganda police to openly declare his planned music concert either legal or illegal.
Bobi Wine said the leadership of Uganda police seems to be bent on frustrating his much anticipated concert by giving vague opinions and positions to his team.

On Wednesday last week at around 1:30pm, a heavy downpour that lasted for about two hours destructed a building at Karengyere P/S which accommodated a school office, 3 class rooms, and a staff room, leaving two Children injured.

During her visit today at the school, Akampurira launched the fundraising of reconstructing it where she contributed a total of 70 bags of cement where 50 bags were in cash. She also pledged commitments to look for other supports from government and other stakeholders.

This forced the Parents who were at the school on Monday to hold a meeting and agreed each parent to contribute shillings 50000.

The School Head teacher Clement Tukamushaba asked for more urgent support because the school that has an enrollment of 698 pupils is now overcrowded in single classrooms. He added that the reconstruction of the building is to cost approximately 300 million shillings.

In Sheema—
Dr Asiimwe Davis, in charge Kabwohe health Centre 4 in Sheema district was on Tuesday 16th October arraigned before the Bushenyi grade one magistrate court Asanasio Mukobi on allegations of torturing and breaking the camera of a TV West journalist Sheikh Abdurhatifu at Kabwohe health Centre last year.
Asiimwe told the asked court to chase away the eye witnesses whom he said that they were to give false information against him.
However the magistrate dismissed Asiimwes appeal saying that “this isn’t a medical camp where you order and they all do as you wish.I am not here to work on your orders but as law says.”
Tonny Masende an officer attached to Kabwohe police station told the court that him and his fellow police men found Abdurhatifu lying on the ground holding his broken camera, crying with some injuries and full of dust. He added that by the time of their arrival, Dr Asiimwe had already quit the scene.
Kisolo Muslim, told court that he saw Dr Asiimwe with another man trying to grab Abdurhatifu’s camera whereby one was touching the leg and another one on the neck.
The incident occurred as Abduhartifu was following the story of Kiconco Faridah who was tested HIV positive by Dr Amon at the same health centre in 2011 and later in 2017 tested HIV negative by Dr Asiimwe. It is alleged that the ARVS she used to take made her suffer to an extent of changing colour plus abdominal pain all the time.
According to Muslim the husband to Faridah said that Dr Asiimwe warned him never to tell anyone about the incident especially politicians and journalists, that he was also promised that if he keeps the secret her wife was to be looked after in all means for free to make sure that her rescued.
Muslim added that due to the poor conditions his wife was facing, he decided to tell the story to journalists hoping that if the government or sympathizers see it, they could give them a financial support.
It is alleged that when Abduhartifu went to doctor Asiimwe to confirm whether what was said was true or false, he was instead beaten up.
The hearing was later adjourned to Monday 22nd October this year
