Lieutenant Colonel Peter Kidemuka, the project engineer under the UPDF Engineering Brigade for Namboole Stadium, has revealed that part of the Shs97 billion approved to renovate the stadium was used to compensate and vacate the witch doctor of ‘Omusambwa Namboole’ to allow the works to proceed smoothly. He said the army was able to secure all the 128 acres of land, from several squatters including the witch doctor. “Works for the perimeter wall at Namboole started on 25th January 2022 and works were completed on 25th June 2022, and the project cost Shs3.8Bn and all the 128 acres of land are secure. We even had a witch doctor here who had a land title, but we had to ensure he goes away,” said Kidemuka. The project engineer made this revelation this morning when Speaker of Parliament Anita Among inspected the ongoing works following the Confederation of African Football (CAF)’s refusal to approve the renovation works undertaken by UPDF Engineering Brigade.

Mase was selling ‘lugabile’ when she made her first will and then one day an ‘investor’ took interest in her business and started exporting her business products to other countries. Since then, Mase bought a house, and 3 lorries, a farm and 5 plots of land. But every time she looks at her will, it makes her look like she is still broke and struggling. Is a will final will or can she make another?   WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? A will is a legal document which shows how a person wants their property to be distributed and dealt with when they die. This means that if a person is still alive, they can change their mind and sell some property, or even get new property.

This is so that it reflects what your actual wishes are at the time. So, if you get children or a spouse or get a buyer who wants to b
