Last update: 5 hours ago

Opposition & Rule of Law: Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, lawyer to Kizza Besigye, was charged with misprision of treason and remanded to Luzira pending bail decisions, with his defence citing a serious hypertension crisis and spinal injuries after military detention. Ebola Response & Public Trust: WHO released its first comprehensive clinical guidelines for Ebola and Marburg, as Uganda reports linked cases from DRC and health workers warn that misinformation and preference for traditional healers are undermining care-seeking. Aviation & Trade: Uganda Airlines signed a commitment with Boeing for two converted freighters and eight new passenger aircraft, aiming to boost cargo capacity and regional connectivity. Local Government Accountability: Mbarara District PAC hearings led to the arrest and charging of CAO David Muhwezi over alleged corruption and abuse of office tied to irregular land allocations on Kamukuzi Hill. Health & Governance Oversight: LoP Joel Ssenyonyi petitioned for Parliament to be recalled from recess to scrutinise alleged arbitrary arrests, unlawful detentions and excessive force. Land Administration: Uganda will process free land titles for Hoima residents under the World Bank-backed SLAAC program to curb land grabbing and conflicts. Business & Finance: Absa Bank won a Commercial Court order allowing recovery of over UGX 710m from Boss Beverages after the company failed to prove wrongful interest calculations. Digital & Education: Airtel Africa Foundation pledged $6.2m in education and digital inclusion, including school internet connectivity and zero-rated learning platforms. Economy & Infrastructure: World Bank and AfDB’s Mission 300 says it has connected over 50 million people to electricity across 40 countries.
