Out of the 350 million collected to consecrate the new Bishop of Mukono Diocese, 270 million has been used to buy Bishop James William Ssebagala's double cabin pickup. The diocese is now asking well-wishers to donate Ugx 350 million to consecrate the Very Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo.
Retired Principal Judge Bamwine was paid gratuity of Ugx 1.247 billion, monthly pension of Ugx 13.8 million, housing allowance of Ugx 300 million, security amounting to Ugx 2.4 million & a new car. He wasn’t satisfied & petitioned court demanding benefits equal to the CJ & DCJ.

This is Edward Muhumuza's permanent resting place in Kyegegwa. Good & fine as he was, God called him. We dearly miss him. Painfully as we send him off, the moral remains; from dust we come, to dust we go. Muhumuza teaches us to be humble. Till we meet againbro.

Sam Mugumya is an embodiment of resilience and persistence. He refused UN help for temporary freedom and still held on to make Uganda better. The heart breaking part is that he returns with no change of what he fought for. But, we are reminded of the night Dr Martin Luther King.
