In the presence of the Katikkiro and other Buganda officials, Gashumba expressed that his decision to apologize was influenced by several prominent figures, including the late Archbishop Ciprian Kizito Lwanga and former Masaka governor Jude Mbabaali. He humbly urged the Katikkiro to forgive him, acknowledging his past use of harsh language in his criticisms.

Joshua Baraka’s upcoming live concert in London sells out tickets

Joshua Baraka has attributed his success to God and the fans from across Africa ahead of his much-anticipated live concert in London, whose tickets have already been sold out. Joshua Baraka is set to perform at the Amazing Grace in London, UK on 13th October 2024 – his very first individual concert. The tickets to his concert are already sold out. “It’s like a 350 seater venue and the tickets are sold out already, no more tickets,” Baraka told a local YouTuber Allan Cruz. Everyone has been hitting me up trying to get tickets but I’ve also failed. I will have to announce another date,” he added. He attributes his success to God and his various fans worldwide who have warmly welcomed his music and embraced his style. In the same interview, the Nana singer noted that he was initially discouraged by critics who claimed his music style wasn’t suitable for the Ugandan audience but he did not take their word. People used to tell me that this kind of music won’t work here because Ugandans are accustomed to a particular taste of music but that is false because I get a lot of love from Ugandans. I didn’t care much about that narrative.

Katabi chairman arrested for using PDM money to buy taxi

The RDC made the order during a “baraza” (public meeting) in Katabi over the weekend. The arrest followed allegations that Ssimbwa had extorted funds from the group members and misused PDM money meant for development. During the meeting, it was revealed that Ssimbwa had been taking Shs 500,000 from each of the one million shillings allocated to PDM beneficiaries. Ssimbwa reportedly used part of the embezzled funds to buy a taxi, registered under UAU 027J. Furthermore, residents alleged that he distributed government funds intended for development to his family members, including his wife and siblings. Following these revelations, the RDC directed the police to arrest Ssimbwa and the implicated family members. “I am handing over these people to you, the police, make sure that they are charged and taken to court,” said Mbabazi.

Pastor Bugingo Hails Gen Salim Saleh for Kapeka Transformation

Pastor Aloysius Bugingo of House of Prayer Ministries has commended General Salim Saleh for transforming Kapeka into a bustling industrial park that he says is providing employment to Uganda’s youth. Preaching to his congregation in Bwaise, Pastor Bugingo expressed his admiration for the work being done at Kapeka, comparing its development to that of industrial mega-projects abroad. "What was the point of asking him to go back to school? For what value?" Bugingo asked, questioning the relevance of academic qualifications in the face of Saleh's achievements. "Every project he takes on is impressive, and there’s no reason he should have been pressured to return to school when his work speaks for itself." Bugingo's comments were directed at Uganda’s education system, which he criticized for placing unnecessary emphasis on academic qualifications. He pointed out that Saleh, despite being encouraged to return to school and sit for exams alongside his son, has proven that practical experience and hard work can outshine formal education. The pastor also spoke about his recent visit to the Kapeka Industrial Park, where he attended an expo presided over by President Museveni. Bugingo was impressed by the development in the area, saying, "It's like you are not in Uganda. The factories there have transformed the region beyond imagination." In his sermon, Bugingo urged the youth to reconsider their aspirations of working abroad, especially those who sell family property to fund overseas trips. He expressed concern over the dangers young Ugandans face while seeking employment abroad, referencing reports of human trafficking and exploitation. "We hear stories of Ugandans losing their body parts for the sake of working abroad," he said. "Why sell your goats, cows, or land just to work in a foreign country? Instead, invest that money in pig farming or cattle rearing here. In a few years, you'll be traveling abroad for leisure, not labor." Bugingo’s sermon resonated with many of his congregants, emphasizing the need for a mindset change among Uganda’s youth and an appreciation for local investment opportunities like those at Kapeka Industrial Park. His message also highlighted the ongoing debate about the balance between formal education and hands-on experience, particularly for those like General Saleh, whose contributions have had a significant impact on Uganda’s economic landscape.

3rd Place Playoff Summary Uganda 71 all out Rwanda 72/7 Rwanda won by 3 wickets The Baby Victoria Pearls lost the 3rd Place Playoff at the U19 World Cup Qualifiers against hosts Rwanda by 3 wickets. The youngsters failed to forget the semifinal loss to Zimbabwe quickly enough to come up with a great performance. Patricia Timong (19) was the lone ranger in the low-scoring game and Lorna Anyait (13) was the only other player to get in double digits as Uganda was completely out of their element with the bat. In the run chase, Rwanda was solid in their response which deflated the Ugandans in defense of a small total. Mitchelle Ariago (2/7) was impressive in her first game of the tournament but that was not enough to get Uganda over the line. This was another great experience for the youngsters but another failed campaign as they finished fourth with the same result as Botswana two years ago. However, the experience is invaluable for the youngsters as they continue to develop on the international stage. Uganda will return home with more lessons and some soul-searching to do. Meanwhile, Nigeria earned the right to represent Africa after rain washed out their final against Zimbabwe. Nigeria, with the fortune of having finished top of their group, earned them the result while Zimbabwe missed out because they finished second in the same group.

NEC Spoils Kitara’s Homecoming Party

• Kitara 1-2 NEC • UPDF 1-0 Lugazi • Vipers 3-0 Express NEC traveled to Hoima with nothing and returned back with everything as the StarTimes Uganda Premier League resumed with matchday two on Thursday. The visiting Die Hards cruised to a 2-1 win on the road against Kitara, who were officially launching their new home ground, the Royals Park stadium in Hoima. In front of a mammoth crowd of Kitara fans that turned up to grace their first home game, it was NEC that took the lead first through Enock Ssebaggala, who broke the deadlock after 50 minutes. Ssebaggala picked meters away from the center ark and launched a powerful shot that went beyond the stretch of goalkeeper Chrispas Kusiima for a beauty. At 69 minutes, substitute Kabon Living equalized with a well-taken penalty after defender Geriga Atendere was judged by referee George Olemu to have fouled Denis Omedi inside the box. In the final ten minutes, NEC restored their lead when super sub Wahab chest-controlled a beauty cross from the right and latched home a ferocious half-volley that silenced the chanting crowds. In the same game, NEC faced a huge blow after Paul Mucureezi suffered a concussion by colliding with Kitara’s captain Maxwell Owachgiu for a bad fall. Players quickly responded, attempting to stabilize his neck and head before the standby medical team arrived to take action. The winger was then whisked away in an ambulance for further medical attention, and James Jarieko occupied his slot. Mucureezi was later confirmed to have stabilized. Results sent NEC to six points from two matches following their 3-1 victory against Vipers Sports Club on day one. The Royals will play UPDF FC on September 24th in the next fixture. For Kitara, they will seek solace against KCCA on September 27th in Lugogo. Elsewhere, newcomers Lugazi will have to wait a bit longer for their first win of the season after losing 1-0 to UPDF at the Bombo Military Barracks playground. The Leaders had to endure a 3-0 loss to Kitara last week at their home ground in Najjembe and are yet to score a goal this season after letting in four. At Kitende, Vipers needed a brace from Milton Karisa and another strike from Asiwome Fumador to outwit Express 3-0 at the St Mary’s Stadium on floodlights. The Venoms were recovering from a disappointing loss to NEC, while the Red Eagles had ousted Mbale Heroes 2-1 in Nakivubo recently. Upcoming fixtures: Friday, 20th September • BUL vs. KCCA, Lugazi (4pm) • Mbarara City vs. Police, Kakyeka (4pm) • Soltilo Bright Stars vs. URA, Kavumba – (4pm) • Maroons vs. Wakiso Giants, Luzira (4pm)

Fufa Appeals Committee orders Ajo to pay more money to Villa, player suspended for FIVE matches

The Fufa Appeals Committee has fined Emmanuel Ajo more money and also suspended the player for five matches after he pays the fine. Initially, Ajo who signed for both SC Villa and later NEC in the transfer window was awarded to the latter with the player told to refund 8 million sign on fees he got from the Jogoos and also pay a fine of 7 million for breach. However, Villa appealed the decision and wanted the player to instead pay Ugx. 50 million or honour the original contract he signed with the club. In reply, the appeals committee has not awarded Villa their full wish but asked Ajo to pay more 9.8 million and the player is also suspended for five matches. Summary terms of the Decision. The FUFA Appeals Committee has decided to communicate only the following summary terms of the decision. 1. The FUFA Appeals Committee received an appeal from SC Villa arising from FUFA DRC NO.46 OF 2024 challenging the findings of the FUFA DRC and praying that the Appeals Committee orders the player to perform the Villa Contract or in the alternative be paid UGX 50,000,000 in damages. 2. The Appeal was served on the respondent player Emmanuel Ajo to provide a response which he did. The parties were invited and appeared for a hearing before the FUFA Appeals Committee at FUFA House, Mengo and were allowed to present their case, submit their arguments and answer the questions by the Committee. 3. Upon critical evaluation of the case file the Appeals Committee noted that the act of the player signing a contract with one club and then abandoning it and signing another one with another Club offering a higher amount is reprehensible behavior that cannot be allowed. 4. Furthermore, the Appeals Committee noted that as a result of his failure to perform the contract, SC Villa was deprived of the player’s services. 5. On account of the above considerations, the Committee decided to adjust the compensation awarded to SC Villa to UGX 25,000,000 inclusive of the refund of the sign-on fee and decided that a sporting sanction of a 5-match suspension be imposed on the player. Having already paid UGX 15,200,000, the player shall pay the balance of UGX 9,800,000 to SC Villa. 6. On ground of the above, the appeal filed by SC Villa is partially allowed and consequently the Appeals Committee rules that; a) The Player Emmanuel Ajo is ordered to pay SC Villa an additional UGX 9,800,000.

Bugingo was impressed by the development in the area, saying, "It's like you are not in Uganda. The factories there have transformed the region beyond imagination." In his sermon, Bugingo urged the youth to reconsider their aspirations of working abroad, especially those who sell family property to fund overseas trips. He expressed concern over the dangers young Ugandans face while seeking employment abroad, referencing reports of human trafficking and exploitation. "We hear stories of Ugandans losing their body parts for the sake of working abroad," he said. "Why sell your goats, cows, or land just to work in a foreign country? Instead, invest that money in pig farming or cattle rearing here. In a few years, you'll be traveling abroad for leisure, not labor." Bugingo’s sermon resonated with many of his congregants, emphasizing the need for a mindset change among Uganda’s youth and an appreciation for local investment opportunities like those at Kapeka Industrial Park. His message also highlighted the ongoing debate about the balance between formal education and hands-on experience, particularly for those like General Saleh, whose contributions have had a significant impact on Uganda’s economic landscape.

Pastor Bugingo Hails Gen Salim Saleh for Kapeka Transformation

Pastor Aloysius Bugingo of House of Prayer Ministries has commended General Salim Saleh for transforming Kapeka into a bustling industrial park that he says is providing employment to Uganda’s youth. Preaching to his congregation in Bwaise, Pastor Bugingo expressed his admiration for the work being done at Kapeka, comparing its development to that of industrial mega-projects abroad. "What was the point of asking him to go back to school? For what value?" Bugingo asked, questioning the relevance of academic qualifications in the face of Saleh's achievements. "Every project he takes on is impressive, and there’s no reason he should have been pressured to return to school when his work speaks for itself." Bugingo's comments were directed at Uganda’s education system, which he criticized for placing unnecessary emphasis on academic qualifications.

Baby Victoria Pearls finish fourth at U-19 World Cup Qualifiers

3rd Place Playoff Summary Uganda 71 all out Rwanda 72/7 Rwanda won by 3 wickets The Baby Victoria Pearls lost the 3rd Place Playoff at the U19 World Cup Qualifiers against hosts Rwanda by 3 wickets. The youngsters failed to forget the semifinal loss to Zimbabwe quickly enough to come up with a great performance. Patricia Timong (19) was the lone ranger in the low-scoring game and Lorna Anyait (13) was the only other player to get in double digits as Uganda was completely out of their element with the bat. In the run chase, Rwanda was solid in their response which deflated the Ugandans in defense of a small total. Mitchelle Ariago (2/7) was impressive in her first game of the tournament but that was not enough to get Uganda over the line. This was another great experience for the youngsters but another failed campaign as they finished fourth with the same result as Botswana two years ago. However, the experience is invaluable for the youngsters as they continue to develop on the international stage. Uganda will return home with more lessons and some soul-searching to do. Meanwhile, Nigeria earned the right to represent Africa after rain washed out their final against Zimbabwe. Nigeria, with the fortune of having finished top of their group, earned them the result while Zimbabwe missed out because they finished second in the same group.

NEC Spoils Kitara’s Homecoming Party

• Kitara 1-2 NEC • UPDF 1-0 Lugazi • Vipers 3-0 Express NEC traveled to Hoima with nothing and returned back with everything as the StarTimes Uganda Premier League resumed with matchday two on Thursday. The visiting Die Hards cruised to a 2-1 win on the road against Kitara, who were officially launching their new home ground, the Royals Park stadium in Hoima. In front of a mammoth crowd of Kitara fans that turned up to grace their first home game, it was NEC that took the lead first through Enock Ssebaggala, who broke the deadlock after 50 minutes. Ssebaggala picked meters away from the center ark and launched a powerful shot that went beyond the stretch of goalkeeper Chrispas Kusiima for a beauty. At 69 minutes, substitute Kabon Living equalized with a well-taken penalty after defender Geriga Atendere was judged by referee George Olemu to have fouled Denis Omedi inside the box. In the final ten minutes, NEC restored their lead when super sub Wahab chest-controlled a beauty cross from the right and latched home a ferocious half-volley that silenced the chanting crowds. In the same game, NEC faced a huge blow after Paul Mucureezi suffered a concussion by colliding with Kitara’s captain Maxwell Owachgiu for a bad fall. Players quickly responded, attempting to stabilize his neck and head before the standby medical team arrived to take action. The winger was then whisked away in an ambulance for further medical attention, and James Jarieko occupied his slot. Mucureezi was later confirmed to have stabilized. Results sent NEC to six points from two matches following their 3-1 victory against Vipers Sports Club on day one. The Royals will play UPDF FC on September 24th in the next fixture. For Kitara, they will seek solace against KCCA on September 27th in Lugogo. Elsewhere, newcomers Lugazi will have to wait a bit longer for their first win of the season after losing 1-0 to UPDF at the Bombo Military Barracks playground. The Leaders had to endure a 3-0 loss to Kitara last week at their home ground in Najjembe and are yet to score a goal this season after letting in four. At Kitende, Vipers needed a brace from Milton Karisa and another strike from Asiwome Fumador to outwit Express 3-0 at the St Mary’s Stadium on floodlights. The Venoms were recovering from a disappointing loss to NEC, while the Red Eagles had ousted Mbale Heroes 2-1 in Nakivubo recently. Upcoming fixtures: Friday, 20th September • BUL vs. KCCA, Lugazi (4pm) • Mbarara City vs. Police, Kakyeka (4pm) • Soltilo Bright Stars vs. URA, Kavumba – (4pm) • Maroons vs. Wakiso Giants, Luzira (4pm)

Fufa Appeals Committee orders Ajo to pay more money to Villa, player suspended for FIVE matches

The Fufa Appeals Committee has fined Emmanuel Ajo more money and also suspended the player for five matches after he pays the fine. Initially, Ajo who signed for both SC Villa and later NEC in the transfer window was awarded to the latter with the player told to refund 8 million sign on fees he got from the Jogoos and also pay a fine of 7 million for breach. However, Villa appealed the decision and wanted the player to instead pay Ugx. 50 million or honour the original contract he signed with the club. In reply, the appeals committee has not awarded Villa their full wish but asked Ajo to pay more 9.8 million and the player is also suspended for five matches. Summary terms of the Decision. The FUFA Appeals Committee has decided to communicate only the following summary terms of the decision. 1. The FUFA Appeals Committee received an appeal from SC Villa arising from FUFA DRC NO.46 OF 2024 challenging the findings of the FUFA DRC and praying that the Appeals Committee orders the player to perform the Villa Contract or in the alternative be paid UGX 50,000,000 in damages. 2. The Appeal was served on the respondent player Emmanuel Ajo to provide a response which he did. The parties were invited and appeared for a hearing before the FUFA Appeals Committee at FUFA House, Mengo and were allowed to present their case, submit their arguments and answer the questions by the Committee. 3. Upon critical evaluation of the case file the Appeals Committee noted that the act of the player signing a contract with one club and then abandoning it and signing another one with another Club offering a higher amount is reprehensible behavior that cannot be allowed. 4. Furthermore, the Appeals Committee noted that as a result of his failure to perform the contract, SC Villa was deprived of the player’s services. 5. On account of the above considerations, the Committee decided to adjust the compensation awarded to SC Villa to UGX 25,000,000 inclusive of the refund of the sign-on fee and decided that a sporting sanction of a 5-match suspension be imposed on the player. Having already paid UGX 15,200,000, the player shall pay the balance of UGX 9,800,000 to SC Villa. 6. On ground of the above, the appeal filed by SC Villa is partially allowed and consequently the Appeals Committee rules that; a) The Player Emmanuel Ajo is ordered to pay SC Villa an additional UGX 9,800,000.
