Today, while copying in the Speaker of Parliament of Uganda, we have requested the Clerk to Parliament if Uganda to furnish us with Certified copies of the Constituent Assembly and Parliament of Uganda Hansards since 1995 relating to Article 249 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda that establishes the Disaster Preparedness and Management Commission for Uganda.

It is our humble view that once provided, such hansards shall enlighten us on the intent of the framers of the Constitution at the time and the current status of its establishment at the moment.

NEMA HAS NOT FAILED TO EVICT TYCOON IN LAKE VICTORIA
Our attention has been drawn to a Weekend Vision article alleging that @nemaug has failed to evict tycoon from Lake Nalubale. This is to clarify that the Environment Restoration Order that was issued to the said developer was appealed and the law requires that action can only be taken upon disposal of the appeal. The Appeal is going through the due process and the public will know the outcome soon. It’s therefore not true that NEMA has failed. It should be noted that the people being removed have gone through full due process for more than a year since they received Environment Restoration Orders.

🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯

“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.

But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.

You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

Bad news from the Engineering side!

Several people are said to have died while others are still trapped under a three-storey building in Kisasi that was under construction collapsed abruptly.

Engineers, let's become more serious!

[National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) @nemaug]

CELEBRATING WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2026!

THERE IS NO SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT FROM NEMA.

Before enforcement is conducted, NEMA issues Restoration Orders.
When you see enforcement, that is the last part of the process. But we recognise that when see buildings go down, all sorts of statements come up. If those people were transparent to show you the Restoration Orders which they will have got and complied with, those incidences will have not happened. So there is no selective enforcement ~ Mr. @sabinofrancis , Commissioner Environment Planning and Coordination, NEMA.

High Court Upholds Bank of Baroda’s Right to Recall Demand Credit Facilities, but Rejects Foreclosure Remedies for Failure to Comply with Statutory Notice Requirements under the Mortgage Act.

On Foreclosure, although the Court found that the Plaintiffs were indebted to the Defendant, it declined to grant the order for foreclosure.

The Court noted that foreclosure is triggered by default, and Sections 18(1), (2), (4), 19, 25(2), and 27(2) of the Mortgage Act mandate specific notices (demand notice, further notice, notice of intention to exercise remedies, notice to sale, and advertisement) before an order to sell can be granted.

The learned Judge clarified that compliance with the statutory notice regime under the Mortgage Act is mandatory before foreclosure remedies can be exercised.

The Court of Appeal has upheld the decision of the High Court to cancel a land tilted held by a retired UPDF officer, Maj. Gen. Elly Kayanja and his wife Jennifer Kayanja. 

In a lead judgment by Justice Florence Nakachwa, the Court of Appeal ruled that Kayanja had taken advantage of a vulnerable people to fraudulently take over their land.

Kayanja and his wife were appealing a High Court decision that had held that the land title of the land measuring 53.64 hectares [132.5 acres] located at Kabulengwa in Wakiso district be cancelled after the land had been acquired fraudulently.
