In Buhweju–
Buhweju Resident District Commissioner (RDC) has clashed with area Member of Parliament Mwijukye Francis over Robert Kyagulanyi’s visit in the district.

The RDC Emmy Katera Turyabagyenyi yesterday didn’t want Kyagulanyi the Kyadondo East MP in his area of jurisdiction on assumption that he would politically mislead youths in Buhweju district who were participating in different sports activities at Nsika playground.

RDC Emmy Kateera Turyabagyenyi

He also said Robert Kyagulanyi who had been invited by Mwijukye Francis, has specialized in abusing the President and his government and therefore the local leadership cannot entertain him because he is not friendly and relevant to youths cause and mounted several check points to restrict him from accessing the district.

MP Francis Mwijukye

But Mwijukye Francis disagreed with the RDC claiming that there is no law in Uganda that stops certain people from visiting specific places on orders of few individuals.
He further said that even such a leader restricting people from outside to visit Buhweju is also not a native of the area adding that he only came in the district for work.
He said such a practice is not good because it may lead to ethnic discrimination in the country and urged out that the country must be led basing on the available laws.
Western Uganda youth MP Mwine Mpaka who was the chief guest at the function said people in opposition have not specialized in abusing President or Government but they are just playing roles of presiding over change adding that this exactly happened at parliament and this shouldn’t cause any alarm in the society which subscribe to different political groups in the country.
Kyagulanyi later sneaked and straightly went to the podium and said he is in the district in good faith and called on youths to rise up and take leadership roles at various levels in the country before he entertained people with some of his popular songs.

The hopes of a medal at the Rio Olympics by many Ugandans were dashed after Stephen Kiprotich failed to retain his marathon title.
Kiprotich, champion at the London Games four years ago, vanished in the wet conditions as Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge won the men’s 42km race in Sambrodromo on Sunday.
Kipchoge, the second fastest man in the marathon ever, came home in 2:08:44. It now means that the Kenyan has won seven of the eight career marathons he has done.
Kiprotich finished a distant 14th, some four minutes and 48 seconds after Kipchoge.
The expectations of the nation slowly faded away after about 29km. Kipchoge and a pack of nine other runners including Kiprotich’s compatriot Solomon Mutai uped the pace.
The field eventually broke into clusters, leaving Kipchoge, Ethiopian Feyisa Lelisa and American Rupp Galen in the lead.
The trio confirmed their medal positions in the order but Galen, running only his second marathon, had to wade off a challenge from reigning World champion Eritrean Ghirmay Ghebreslassie.
Mutai came in eighth place while the other Ugandan Jackson Kiprop dropped out of the race, the final athletics event of the Olympic Games.

IN MBARARA—

MUSICIAN KID FOX SET TO RETURN TO UGANDA

Close to 2 years, rumors circulated in Uganda that the reggae reggae artiste Kidfox was allegedly arrested and sentenced to death in Japan for drug trafficking however soon after, the rumor was watered down when the singer came out to clear the air about the same subject matter.

Nimechoka hit maker came out clearly to inform Ugandans that he was never reprimanded for drug trafficking but was another matter altogether and he was much alive which brought a smile on many people’s faces who had given up on their singer.

Since then, we have been following his routines and Kidfox has been trying hard to have a comeback hit that would set yet a another mile stone in his music career however this seems to have been long overdue and therefore made people think that probably he might have quit the industry for good.

News reaching www.mknewslink.com website now indicate that the singer is planning to return to his motherland Uganda having suffered a series of mischiefs in Japan where he’s apparently living. It’s said that the singer hopes to come and give our local musicians a run for their money when he blends his Luganda and Japanes in music.
