The lab person gave Salima the bad news mbu she was not only HIV positive, but she also had a lung cancer and ‘that cough’ was TB. For the next two months, Salima went into depression, lost weight, became ‘faded’ and even failed to show up for the job she had been given. Her mother even had to come from the village to console her and she is the one who encouraged her to try another hospital. It turns out that all the results were negative. Salima is relieved, but now she wants to know who is going to pay for all the suffering she has gone through and the job she lost.   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Generally, courts do not allow people to sue for emotional damage because it is difficult to measure and calculate this. (Courts like things that can be measured and compensated for). However, when a hospital has done something wrong

📸: Unsplash. Mr Kati is a citizen of the Republic of Kali (not a real country). He is a public servant and works for the Ministry of Water in the Republic of Kali. When the government of Kali decided that it wanted to bring water to its people in the Eastern part of Kali, Mr Kati was put in charge. He was, therefore, put in charge of billions. However, Mr Kali lives on a very remote village with a very bad road, and he thought that surely if he used some of the money to build a road in his village, it would be okay as it would even help the people of his village. Would Mr Kati’s actions be regarded as corrupt since he used the money for a another purpose?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? According to the Anti-Corruption Act of Uganda, corruption is where a person who is in public service uses their position to ask for or accept a gift, a favour, a promise or money in exchange of doing what they are legally required to do as a person who works in that public service.   Corruption c

The allegations triggered the arrest of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Arua City, Mr Adriko Sam whose name was cited as a beneficiary in the stalls.    📸: Lemayi Gad Jurua. Mr Lemayi Gad Jurua the secretary for Arua City Taxi Park Traders Union says what baffles them most as traders is how Landlords have emerged in government properties and the purported landlords are issuing out fake rent receipts with no heading, no persons name and no telephone number attached to it.    📸: Mr Momma Norbert. The Vice Chairperson of Arua City Taxi Park traders association Mr Momma Norbert who decried exorbitant charging and variation on rent payments for stalls in the Taxi park, pinned Arua City CFO Mr Sam Adriko as a b

📸: Unsplash.  Salima came to Uganda because people like her were being hunted for human sacrifice as some people believed their blood could keep them young forever. After a month here, she decided to apply to be a refugee. Yesterday, Salima got the news that her application has been rejected, and she is worried she will be forced to return to her country where the witchdoctors are waiting for her. Is this the end for her?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? By law, a refugee is a person who leaves their own country because of fear of being badly treated because of their race, religion, nationality, belonging to a particular social group, or their political beliefs, and they cannot safely return to their own country. When a person applies to become a refugee in Uganda and is assessed to see if they qualify for refugee status, this application may be granted or rejected. When it is rejected, it does not mean the end for that person or that the person will be forced to leave Uganda and
