#OPINION; HOW POLICE CAN RAISE FINANCES TO BUILD 10,000 POLICE UNITS PER YEAR BY JAFFAR AITA JOEL.

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Read more in this link . Ministry of Works Estimates 2,500,000 vehicles are registered in Uganda and on average 2m vehicles move on various Uganda roads per day. The Police needs 340 billion to construct 10,000 police units per year. Assume Uganda Police comes with a Policy whereby a police officer who charges a traffic offender will take 50% of the charge and remit 50% to the police housing account with instant tickets. This will ensure the officer becomes more than willing to charge a traffic offender. Out of the 2m cars on the road per day, let’s assume at least 20,000 cars are charged per day. That will be only 1% of the total cars and an average charge of 100,000 UGX. The officer will take 50,000 and remit 50,000 to the Police housing account. That will bring 1 billion to the housing account per day, 30billion per month, 360 billion per year. By end of 6 years, all our Police officers will be housed in descend accommodation.

Who is Matua Job Richard; The Chief Petitioner in NSSF Scandals.

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Job Richard Matua is the man who petitioned the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development about Richard Byarugaba’s continued employment despite clocking 60 years. But who is Job Richard Matua? He identifies as an NRM Cadre and to show how serious he is, he wants to stand for National Vice Chairperson Central Executive Committee NRM Northern-Uganda a position that fell vacant after the death of former speaker Jacob Oulanyah. Matua is a former teacher of Biology. He has taught the subject for 14 years and his speciality was on the Biology practical paper. This is where he discovered that rearing rats for practicals can be a business since one of the specimens UNEB always sets for Advanced level students is a rat. Matua says each rat sells between 10,000/= to 20,000/= off season but during UNEB exams, one rat goes for 30,000/= to 50,000/=. He says that his friends Robert Musinguzi in Blessed Sacrament Kimanya and Aisha from St Peter’s SS Nsambya inspir

Is Your EV Charging Station Safe? New Security Vulnerabilities Uncovered.

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Two new security weaknesses discovered in several electric vehicle (EV) charging systems could be exploited to remotely shut down charging stations and even expose them to data and energy theft. The findings, which come from Israel-based SaiFlow, once again demonstrate the potential risks facing the EV charging infrastructure. The issues have been identified in version 1.6J of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) standard that uses WebSockets for communication between EV charging stations and the Charging Station Management System (CSMS) providers. The current version of OCPP is 2.0.1. “The OCPP standard doesn’t define how a CSMS should accept new connections from a charge point when there is already an active connection,” SaiFlow researchers Lionel Richard Saposnik and Doron Porat said. “The lack of a clear guideline for multiple active connections can be exploited by attackers to disrupt and hijack the connection between the charge point and the CSMS.” Th
