In Kigezi—

Rt. Rev. George Bagamuhunda, the Bishop of Kigezi Diocese has decried the increased alcohol consumption and drug abuse in western Uganda.

Bishop Bagamhunda expressed his concern at the closure of the 2021 Brethren Conference of the Diocese of Kigezi this afternoon.

According to Bishop Bagamuhunda, excessive alcohol consumption has escalated poverty, domestic violence in families and killings in the region. 

He said that it’s regrettable that Ugandans especially youths have failed to learn from the killings resulting from alcohol consumption but they continue with the vice.

Bagamuhunda said that it is frustrating that most people in the region use the low funds they have to buy drugs and alcohol instead of saving it for the future.

The Bishop also tasked Christians to keep obedient and respect the church pillars as a way of living holy and Godly.

In Isingiro–

The embattled Isingiro district boss Birungi Jeremiah Kamulari who lost the just concluded Bukanga North parliamentary race to NRM’s Nathan Byanyima has vowed to challenge the results in the court of laws.

Kamulari addressing journalists at Little woods Inn in Mbarara city yesterday, noted that his legal team is currently collecting evidence to challenge the results in the courts of law.

He cited irregularities that marred the Bukanga North parliamentary polls ranging from arresting him, voter bribery, pre-ticking of ballot papers, and intimidation by security operatives among others.

“I was arrested and taken to Isingiro Central Police Station after intercepting the agents of my opponent Nathan Byanyima who were bribing voters with money at  Kyakabindi polling station” Kamulari lamented.

Kamulari also accused the minister for Animal Husbandry Hon. Bright Rwamirama of facilitating the deployment of heavy security in Bukanga North which caused intimidation to his voters plus gearing for his arrest which was illegal.

Meanwhile, Minister Rwamirama speaking on TV west last night rubbished Kamulari’s claims saying that he obstructed polling exercise in Bukanga North thus the security had to arrest him.

“Kamulari should accept defeat and stop spreading propaganda in the media,” Minister Rwamirama added.
