www.mklink.com  management whole heartedly apologize for writing information that we were not sure about.  We heard from one side of the story and published wrong information on 28th july 2019.

We have got the rightful information about Mrs Mable Tumusiime, who is the former teacher at Bweranyangi and a pillar at West Ankole Diocese.
She is a respectable mother, church elder, and not a con woman like we had published on www.mknewslink.com

From our investigations, we have come to know that there is misguided information between Ms Jane Rushegyera and Ms Mable Tumusiime and therefore we plead to stay out of this.

From the story we got to know that Ms Mable Tumusiime is a close relative of the president and was a niece to the late Rushegyera and on many occasions she has visited Mzee at Kweshera in Kishozi as their family Tradition.

Mrs Mable participated in the struggle for NRA by providing logistical support in form of Sandals (Lugabire) which the uncle Late Rushegyera would instruct her to purchase from a local market in Kyabugimbi and take them to where they would meet to pick them.

The president used to meet this young girl with her uncle and she would deliver the sandals for the soldiers in the bush.

It was not until then, that the NRA came to power and president Museveni remembered the young girl Mable that helped him, and decided to appreciate her with all the support he has offered.

www.mknewslink.com found out that, on her first meeting with the president in Rwakitura, it was a directive from the president to the PS (Kankunda Miriam) in 2012 to include the Name Rushegyera on her directive so that he can always remember her easily.

We also had a chance to have an interview with Ms Nyangoma Jovia  a biological sister of the late Joyce Rushegyera who was asister to the president . We happened to get the clear and rightful information about their relationship with Ms Mable Tumusiime.

She also explained to us how Mable is related to the first family, and does not miss in any of the family re -unions, and that the president knows her very well as Mable Tumusiime not the wife to the late Rushegyera.. And from all the directives we have seen, none of them addresses her as Ms Rushegyera.

www.mknewslink.com  management therefore wish to extend our heartfelt apologies to Ms. Mable Tumusiime and the family for tarnishing her name basing on the misguided information.

to Uganda, an advisory which was followed with the destruction of all
temporary bridges near the border.

High Court Judge Yasin Nyanzi yesterday evening granted Pato a non-cash bail while his sureties including his  Father Christopher Kasaija and his paternal uncle Richard Kagoro have been ordered to execute a non-cash bond of  Shs20 million.

His other two sureties who are his friends have also been ordered to also execute a non-cash bond of Shs25million.

While granting him bail, Justice Nyanzi ruled that Pato has never been committed to High court for trial yet he has been in custody since March 2018 in both Uganda and South America.

Court also ruled that it is his constitutional right to bail since he has a fixed place of abode in lower Mawanga Buziga while his father Kasaija also presented a duplicate certainly of title situated in Hoima

However, Justice Nyanzi has ordered Pato to execute his Buziga land agreement before the court which is in the names of his wife Patra Kugonza and that failure to attend court the land and house will be executed by the Ugandan government.

Pato has also been ordered to deposit his passport before a registrar and not to travel out of the country without court Knowledge.

Magara, then 28, was kidnapped on February 7, 2018, as she drove to her home in Lungujja, Kampala. Her kidnappers kept her for weeks, using her phone to call her family, in the end extracting a ransom of Shs700m, her family said at her funeral. Her body was discovered on the Entebbe Expressway near Kampala on February 27, 2018.

Pato, who is said to have been known to the deceased, was accused of being the mastermind of the crime and collecting and leaving with the ransom money. A manhunt for him was mounted shortly after the killing.

Pato was arrested in South Africa, but his extradition took months, until he was finally returned to Uganda mid-May. In his absence, Pato had been charged with the kidnap and murder of Magara, together with eight others.
