Zaweze has been working at the same place for the last 5 years. Last month, his boss has introduced office lunch for all staff. Zaweze was attracted by the buffet on offer and has since not missed a single meal. ON the 25th of the month, he was surprised to find that his usual 600,000 salary was less by 200,000. He asked his boss who told him that this was contribution for the lunch that was introduced for all staff. Zaweze is confused because he really thought that office food was free for employees. He needs to know if what his boss is doing is right or not.  WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY: The law (the Employment Act 2006) strictly prohibits deductions to employee salaries, except in certain circumstances such as NSSF, Trade Union fees, Taxes unless the employee specifically gave his/her permission. This can be for deductions such as bank loans, SACCO savings. Zaweze can start by asking his boss to refund his deducted salary and to allow him to choose whether he wants to pay for ...

Here Are What You Need to Know About "Real 5G Metaverse" and "Facebook's Metaverse Reality Lab". Facebook, now Meta, wants to pivot into virtual reality. But it won't be able to escape its sins.  Facebook is trying to shuck off its reputation for manipulating elections and destroying societies by becoming "Meta," the Metaverse company. We have an explainer on the metaverse, but in short, a metaverse is a persistent, open virtual- or augmented-reality platform. Metaverses have existed for decades; Second Life once had a million users. Meta, of course, wants to take that from the millions to the billions. Everyone involved in 5G is betting on metaverses, too. Qualcomm calls its approach "XR," or extended reality. Microsoft calls it "MR," mixed reality. T-Mobile's President of Technology Neville Ray told me that "eyewear wearables" could be the killer consumer app for true 5G, and that's how you get into the meta...

  The Question; 1. Is "Burial" a Religious right ? Or Constitutional right? Or Cultural right? . 2. Why must burial ground / location be determined by Women (Wives) ?. 3. Is the new "Legal Era" not overturning and undermining Human heritage and socialism, most especially it appears to be stepping foot on the toes of Culture and Religion.  Share in your #views and #opinions in the comment section. #Burial #Religion #Culture #Law #osutayusuf

A joint four-month operation coordinated by Interpol, the international criminal police organization, has culminated in the arrests of more than 1,000 cybercriminals and the recovery of $27 million in illicit proceeds. Codenamed "HAECHI-II," the crackdown enabled law enforcement units from across 20 countries, as well as Hong Kong and Macao, close 1,660 cases alongside blocking 2,350 bank accounts linked to the fraudulent illicit funds amassed from a range of online financial crimes, such as romance scams, investment fraud, and money laundering associated with illegal online gambling. "The results of Operation HAECHI-II show that the surge in online financial crime generated by the COVID-19 pandemic shows no signs of waning," said Interpol Secretary General Jürgen Stock in a press statement issued on November 26. The coordinated law enforcement probe took place over a period of four months, starting from June 2021 until September 2021, with ten new criminal ...

China Takes Over Uganda's International Airport, Other Country's Assets Over $207million Unpaid Loan Deal The Museveni-led Ugandan government had on Tuesday, 17 November 2015, signed an agreement with Exim Bank to borrow $207 million at two per cent upon disbursement. Uganda's only international airport has been taken over by China.   According to Sahara Reporters, Chinese lenders, the Export-Import Bank of China, also known as Exim Bank took over the Ugandan Entebbe International Airport and other assets in the country over the failure of the Ugandan government to repay a loan.   This came despite reports that President Yoweri Museveni had sent a delegation to Beijing for a renegotiation with the Chinese government over toxic clauses that exposed the East African country.   The loan had a maturity period of 20 years including a seven-year grace period, but it had now appeared that the transaction signed with the Chinese lenders practically means Uganda “surrender...

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is stepping down as chief of the social media company, effective immediately. Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s chief technology officer, will take over the helm, the company said Monday. Shares of Twitter were down about half a percent before noon on Monday. Dorsey, 45, was serving as both the CEO of Twitter and Square, his digital payments company. Dorsey will remain a member of the board until his term expires at the 2022 meeting of stockholders, the company said. Salesforce President and COO Bret Taylor will become the chairman of the board, succeeding Patrick Pichette, a former Google executive, who will remain on the board as chair of the audit committee. “I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders,” Dorsey said in a statement, though he didn’t provide any additional detail on why he decided to resign. Agrawal will have to meet Twitter’s aggressive internal goals. The company said earlier this year it a...

Earlier in the week, we told you about Bebe who agreed to help his wife Hanni end her life. Unfortunately, things did not work out and Hanni died but Bebe survived. We asked you what offence the law may bring against him. Thank you for all your responses and we are really proud and impressed that you guys are alert to the law. So, let us break it down together. What is an Unlawful Killing? By law, the taking of anyone’s life is unlawful unless it is because of a death sentence against a person. It does not matter whether the life you have chosen to take is your own or if you agreed with someone that you would do it.  The unlawful taking of life can be murder or manslaughter, if you take off time to plan for how you will kill someone and what you will use to carry out the act, in law we say you have malice aforethought so you will be taken to have committed murder. On the other hand, if you ‘accidentally’ or suddenly kill someone without a prior plan, then you may be liable ...

This evening 5:05pm Saturday 27-11-2021 as i decided to board a public taxi that was heading to Arua, from Moyo District, reaching around Kijoro Poo before slowing down to River Enze Bridge, the Traffic Police officers of Marach District who often stage their roadblock around that place,  stopped the taxi we were driving in. The driver started wondering why would these officers stop the taxi! On stopping,  the smiling  traffic officer and the police, a one called Drambele who are both attached to Maracha District Central Police Station (CPS) picked and brought for the driver a banana they had bought for themselves. The driver received the banana with thanks. The passengers in the car were all excited and thankful for the love and character exhibited by the two officers. A Topic for discussion in the journey was picked from that act of the Police officer Drambele and the Traffic officer. The passengers gave in their varied opinions but i had to categorically state ...

Previously we told you about Masitula and her reckless neighbour who smokes, drinks and throws used condoms in the shared compound of rented home. We asked you how you thought she should deal with the situation. Thank you for all your responses, let us also give you our thoughts on the situation. By law, a tenant has a right to enjoy the use of the rented property. This means they are free to eat only chicken if they want (even if they have not yet paid for the month), or even to smoke. However, since all of us want to enjoy our rights, there is often a conflict between tenants. If this happens, here are few tips to deal with the situation. 1. Report to the landlord Back in school, when someone disturbed you in class, you would sometimes report to the ‘class monitor’ (if he/she was authoritative enough) or go to the teacher. In life, things have not changed that much, since the landlord has the authority over the houses, you can start by reporting the disturbing behaviour of your neigh...

At least 9.3 million Android devices have been infected by a new class of malware that disguises itself as dozens of arcade, shooter, and strategy games on Huawei's AppGallery marketplace to steal device information and victims' mobile phone numbers. The mobile campaign was disclosed by researchers from Doctor Web, who classified the trojan as "Android.Cynos.7.origin," owing to the fact that the malware is a modified version of the Cynos malware. Of the total 190 rogue games identified, some were designed to target Russian-speaking users, while others were aimed at Chinese or international audiences. Once installed, the apps prompted the victims for permission to make and manage phone calls, using the access to harvest their phone numbers along with other device information such as geolocation, mobile network parameters, and system metadata. "At first glance, a mobile phone number leak may seem like an insignificant problem. Yet in reality, it can seriously harm ...

How i started weeping uncontrollable after his phone was given to me this night 10pm, with his SMS and all the data intact in the phone. What a scary world, where we shall leave everything and depart without anything. You always loved and cared for everyone! Your passing this morning 7am 23-11-2021 is like a nightmare for me. I have seen the bitterness of earth is not far! The World of tears. May your soul shine in everlasting peace,   #Laban https://www.facebook.com/100051753991800/posts/444281330640330/

Death, a painful thing! Death, a grief for the World! Death, a bitter truth human beings have to embrace and live with! Death, an inevitable aspect of life for both God believers and none believers! Death, a mathematical theory with no simplest form to solve it! Death, biblically explained as caused by “SIN” and scientifically enrolled as caused by “Germs, Accident, Diseases etc” is a Tool that has and will continue to incapacitate “Humans” regardless of Gender, Ethnicity, Religion and Status whether Poor or Rich. Death, an unseen neutral enemy that has come to roar at our door and ravage “Humans” without “Mercy” and “Excuse “. There is always one alternative for believers (Christians, Moslems etc) to escape the rough of pain of death and that is only through when we commit ourselves to serve the almighty God with all our Hearts, Taughts, Soul and Body and we shall have “Life after Death”. May the soul of my elder biological brother Laban rest in Peace. The burial shall be tomorrow Thu...

The development gurus and architects will believe with me that development is a process and it must go thru its logical stages to attain desired results.  The liturgical transformation and development of culture has taken a center stage in Ayivu in particular Arua city.       Ayivu is not a tribe but a bigger section and  component of  Lugbara people as a  community that predominantly occupy the Arua city as the original descendants and land lords in Arua city now covering Arua central and Ayivu division.  Although a number of people who migrated from DRC , South Sudan,neighboring city and elsewhere have become  residents  and  purchased land in the two divisions while others got it freely from  our fore great grandparents since our interest in land was communal or freehold tenure system. Therefore we now leave as brothers and sisters but preserving our culture, norms, values etc. Consequently , Arua central engulfed two d...

Moses Byaruhanga, the presidential advisor on political affairs, has revealed that arrangements are being undertaken for Arua Resident City Commissioner (RCC), Alice Akello, to be arraigned in court over corruption. 'I have spoken to her supervisors. She will be arrested,' he said, adding that Akello committed a criminal act when she solicited for facilitation from the business community in Arua to run her office. 'The money you are soliciting for, is it going to the consolidated fund? That's corruption.' Under Ugandan law, all revenue and funds must be paid into the Consolidated Fund from which money is withdrawn to fund all activities of government. Collection of the monies is done by designated government officials, of which Byaruhanga said Akello isn't qualified. In a letter that was shared on social media with a reference, “terrorism threat during the festive,” Akello asked the Indian community in Arua City to support security with fuel to ease operations a...

 Bebe Cool has been on top of his game in the music industry for many years. He is one old-school artist who gives hard time to young musicians when it comes to dropping hit songs.  Although the Covid-19 pandemic greatly affected the industry, Bebe Cool thinks they can still run other side businesses as they wait for the restrictions to be eased. He suggested that he is working on a plan with banks that allows musicians to use their songs as collateral security to get loans from financial institutions. Bebe Cool has already started working with different banks to make his idea possible. He believes within a year, it will no longer be a dream but a reality. https://theinformersdotcom.wordpress.com/2021/11/20/songs-can-be-used-as-collateral-to-get-loans-from-banks-bebe-cool-suggests/

Police have announced the return of the Flying Squad, violent crime crack unit that was recently moved to the Crime Intelligence Directorate.
