Uganda's Ambassador to Kenya who participated in NRM primaries and lost refuses to hand over office, warns newly appointed ambassador Hassan Ggaliwango not to set foot in Nairobi. "We have five other embassies without Ambassadors. He can go to China, Japan, Angola or Geneva. If they vetted him for Nairobi then that's byoya bya nswa.  He should not look at where I am because I'm not about to leave. Nairobi etandise okumpomera (Nairobi is becoming delicious for me)," Phibby Otaala said.

        Hon. Godfrey Macho (NRM, Busia Municipality) has said he narrowly survived death when security operatives shot and killed his army bodyguard, Ivan Kakayi, on Sunday, 15 November 2020 outside a church compound in Busia district. Macho told his peers during the Thursday, 19 November 2020 sitting that he suspected the shooters were after him because they accosted the passenger – his bodyguard, who had a few minutes prior, taken up his seat by the co-driver side after he had stepped out to attend a church service. The legislator identified the assailants as Assistant Superintendent of Police, Patrick Javuru and Corporal Chelogoi attached to Police’s Flying Squad Unit and Crime Intelligence respectively. “I was told by eyewitnesses that during the scuffle, ASP Javuru chased after Private Kakayi who had attempted to run away and shot at him to death,” Macho said. The MP says that in the days leading up to the incident, he was being trailed by two unknown men on a m...

Big Sur macOS Apps. Apple is facing the heat for a new feature in macOS Big Sur that allows many of its own apps to bypass firewalls and VPNs, thereby potentially allowing malware to exploit the same shortcoming to access sensitive data stored on users' systems and transmit them to remote servers. The issue was first spotted last month by a Twitter user named Maxwell in a beta version of the operating system. "Some Apple apps bypass some network extensions and VPN Apps," Maxwell tweeted. "Maps for example can directly access the internet bypassing any NEFilterDataProvider or NEAppProxyProviders you have running." But now that the iPhone maker has released the latest version of macOS to the public on November 12, the behavior has been left unchanged, prompting concerns from security researchers, who say the change is ripe for abuse. Of particular note is the possibility that the bypass can leave macOS systems open to attack, not to mention the inability t...

The battle has moved from the streets to the World Wide Web after Hackers put down the Uganda Police Force website. International hackers’ group Anonymous have chest thumped claiming that they put down the website because of the recent human rights violation by UPF. “Anonymous has taken down @PoliceUg’s website in response to recent violent government repression & killings. Anonymous calls for police to respect human lives & the freedom of peaceful assembly and protest,” a statement on their twitter page reads. Anonymous claim they are a group that: “Supports the weak against the powerful and stands for justice, Human rights, Autonomy & self-governance, Resistance against tyranny, A more humane society, Actions Not Nouns.” In a communication with Charles Twine, the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) spokesperson, he disclosed that it’s true their site was hacked but they redeemed it and they are still looking for the culprits. “We have been working clos...

They come here, they make noise, in fact make a lot of noise and they disappear! They get their salaries or payments in different ways; others get from parliament / government offices and others get from donors. When they sense uncertainties that may curtail their financial sources, they use or incite the poor men to go protesting and burning tires on the streets. In some cases, they even make sure if there is any individual who intends to expose or block their way of financial gain, technically they will fight tooth and nail to eliminate or compromise such people. When the poor men get arrested for protesting on the streets, thus, disrupting the business activities of other people / disrupting other road users, they  (the opposition politicians) show up to secure police bond or court bail for the poor men arrested. They may at times give some penny (money) for the poor men as an appreciation for the job well done, thus, the protests. Wait when the poor men get into some pe...

Last week, i focused on America, where a Houston Police Department Sergeant Sean Rios was brutally taken away from his loved ones and killed on 10-Nov-2020. This time around, am focusing on Uganda, where Soldiers and Police are been hit by Civilians using hot objects like Hammer and so on. The culprits, in their entirety, have been observed as National Unity Platform (NUP) party supporters. The incident occurred this week 18-11-2020 when NUP supporters in Kampala were protesting the arrest of their leader, Presidential Aspirant Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine who was arrested for misleading and endangering the Life of people by inciting them to attend political rallies in big numbers, contrary to the guidelines given by Ministry of Health in respect to prevention of Covid-19. Regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion, let's all unite to condemn violence upto its totality, most especially the violence committed against our Soldiers and Police. #Soldiers_are_humans #Police_...
