Gov’t apologises for delayed Mubende road works as accident claims businessman Kenneth Kaijuka, driver
Kaijuka and Stephen died in the crash, while Kaijuka’s four children survived with fractures after becoming trapped in the wreckage beneath the truck for about four hours.
An eyewitness, Ivan, who lives in the area, maintained communication with the children throughout the ordeal, offering them reassurance and encouragement.
Ivan said he asked the children for their mother’s telephone number after they told him she had remained in Kampala. The contact enabled rescuers to alert the family and coordinate the response.
After about four hours, rescuers managed to carefully remove the children from the wreckage.

Guys, four children (of Kenneth now deceased) were trapped in a car wreckage for four hours, fours comrades!
It took relatives traveling from Fortportal town to the accident scene to have the children rescued! This is a 1hr & 30mins drive good people.
How/when does the @PoliceUg emergency and rescue department work!
@M_Kananura you guys might have to start taking Ugandans seriously.
@KagutaMuseveni nedda taata, your government is sleeping on a critical job. Instead of buying those MPs cars, & bribing opposition guys kindly invest that money in emergency and rescue services.
If we can't prevent the 25,044 car crashes we average every year, then we need to invest heavily in emergency & rescue services.
It's was heartbreaking reading that story, mayn!
THE JUDICIAL OFFICER IN UGANDA Vs COL. DR. KIIZA BESIGYE & ORS SHOULD IN PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDER A RECUSAL FROM HEARING THE CASE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE JUDICIARY'S INTEGRITY:-
In June 2025, I and some selected Christians from North Kigezi Diocese @Northkigezidio1 accompanied the Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese Rt. Rev. Onesimus Asiimwe @AsiimweOnesimus on a pastoral visit to Dr. Kizza Besigye at Luzira Max Prison. We prayed together with Dr. Kiiza Besigye and reflected on faith, justice, and hope.
During our engagement, Dr. Besigye reiterated his readiness to face trial and his major prayer was for a fair hearing before an impartial court. He expressed concern about delays in the administration of justice and the conduct of the presiding judicial officer in his case that is before the High Court of Uganda.
As an advocate and a former Secretary of the Uganda Law Society, it is my belief that Dr. Kiiza Besigye's case reminds us of enduring principles that safeguard the rule of law and Constitutionalism.
As Lord Chief Justice Hewart famously observed: "Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done." That principle remains the cornerstone of public confidence in the Judiciary.
Similarly, Lord Denning reminded us that: "Justice is rooted in confidence, and confidence is destroyed when right-minded people go away thinking: 'The judge was biased'."
It is my considered opinion that, it is in the public interest, and to preserve public confidence in the Judiciary and administration of justice that the presiding Judicial Officer in the case of Ug Vs Dr.Kiiza Besigye & Ors should carefully consider whether recusal is necessary at this point!
It is a settled principle of law that an accused has no right to dictate or choose a judicial officer before whom their case should be heard HOWEVER where circumstances exist like in this case that may reasonably give rise to an apprehension of bias or otherwise undermine the public's confidence in the Judiciary, the Judicial Officer may in public interest recuse himself from hearing the case and this is not an acknowledgement of of bias but a measure to uphold the integrity of the Judiciary.
The legitimacy of our courts rests not only on their decisions but also on the public's confidence in their impartiality, independence and accountability to the people of Uganda.

In February 2007, Andrew Mwenda @AndrewMwenda resigned from Monitor and KFM due to editorial interference with free journalism, including freedom to criticise Mr Museveni and his family. Here are some excerpts from his awesome resignation letter:
#JusticeForSydney:
I will say this over and over again, I don’t rate Kasuku and his hogwash media interviews/clips. Much of his content is local and baseless.
Sorry if I bruised your ego, but if you enjoy and like his fecal, you are a red flag to me.
Every other normal person with remorse is grieving Sydo, his daft oblongata is eying a widow and sexualizing her in broad day light for clicks
The 30 minutes already passed and you still won’t do sh!t!
You can let your mouth be as slippery as you wish but don’t pray for it to land you in my territory! I am more lethal than the Nigerian chaps whose attention you seek at any given convenience!
SIT DOWN & FUCK OFF!
Martin Zubi rejected everyone to come join us. Played insane minutes and hooped out first half of the season. Vital contributor to the joy YOU feel today.
He is super reserved & had a rough ride in the run in . Can we flood his IG comments so he KNOWS we love him. Link below.
