At Mengo Senior School, Mr Kazibwe was replaced by Mr Grace Nantagya Ssebanakita, former Head teacher Luzira S.S, another Church of Uganda owned school.
The thanksgiving function was attended by top clergy from Namirembe Diocese led by The Dean of the Cathedral The very Rev. Canon Jonathan Kisawuzi Salongo, Diocesan Mission Secretary Rev. Samuel Muwonge a great friend to Mr. Kazibwe, teaching and non teaching staff of Mengo Senior School and thousands of their Students.

Kazibwe’s successor, Grace Nantagya Ssebanakitta talked about Kazibwe as a great leader who rendered invaluable service to the school, an inspiration that left a great legacy.
He was praised for instilling great discipline in both staff and students, putting up modern infrastructure, beautifying the institution, greatly improving academic performance, good governance, constructing a state-of-art Chapel and touching lives of many people that he interacted with.
In his speech, Kazibwe who was accompanied by wife Dr. Ann Kazibwe from Makerere University re-echoed his advice to every one around to always do good to others so that they can too feel good as a pay back.
He thanked Church of Uganda, Mengo Board of Governors, teaching and non teaching staff and every one for the team work which enabled Mengo Senior School reach great heights.
“I caution you to always keep yourselves in Christ because without Jesus, we are nothing just like the donkey that carried Jesus lacked fame after it left Jesus.” Said Kazibwe, a Born-Again Christian.

Just like a great leader who wants people to prosper, Kazibwe urged them to save the little they earn to always be  exemplary in leadership and keep away from shameful deeds. 
Many students presented songs and poems about the character of Mr Kazibwe which moved guests to shed tears of joy.
“What gives us hope and and happiness is that John Fred Kazibwe was succeeded by a great educationist and administrator Grace Nantagya Ssebanakita in whom we have lots of expectations.”Said a section of teachers.
Nantagya however called upon Mengonians to work together to keep the legacy left behind by the former head teacher. 

During his Sermon at the function, The Dean of the Cathedral The very Rev. Canon Jonathan Kisawuzi Salongo thanked Kazibwe for being a committed and God fearing Headteacher, saying that it is because of this that he managed to perfectly serve and changed for better the image of Mengo Senior School now ranked the best School in Kampala.
Just a few days ago, Mengo Old Students Association (MOSA) organised a fair-well party to Mr. Kazibwe and gave him gifts which included a brand new motorcycle.
Kazibwe is such a hardworking leader, very passionate, competent and developmental. 
In a period of only 10 years, he indeed changed the face of Mengo Senior School, put up first class buildings, bought a school bus and gave priority to the academic standard of the school.
In academics, discipline and smartness, no school in Kampala beats Mengo Senior School. He will be remembered for being a true Headteacher who lifted the staff welfare.
No wonder at Kings College Budo where he was posted a few months ago, things are changing at a very high speed.
May the good Lord continue Blessing Mr. Kazibwe.

INSIDE COMMISSIONER LAND REGISTRATION TRIBUNAL: HOW KABAKA’S LAWYERS LEFT HAMIS KIGGUNDU SWEATING OVER ‘FAKE’ TITLES ON KIGO LAND

0

Kabaka and Katikkiro Mayiga at Mengo Palace on May 13, 2022

STORY BY:
MEDDIE KITYO
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

LAWYERS from two popular legal firms of Ms. K&K Advocates (Kiwanuka & Karugire Advocates) and Ms. S & L Advocates (Sebalu and Lule Advocates) acting on instructions of Buganda Kingdom, last week met and advised businessman Hamis Kiggundu to conceed cancellation of what they reffered to as fake titles and make a public apology or else, he will be left naked!
This was during a tribunal hearing at the Commissioner Land Registration officer in Kampala last week.
Buganda Kingdom petitioned the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel Kiggundu’s titles accusing him of overlapping Kabaka’s land with freehold titles.
The disputed land is situated between Serena-Kigo and Mirembe Villas land, off Munyonyo Spur Road, and extends inwards sharing common boundaries with Serena-Kigo, Mirembe Villas, and the Lake. Usable acreage is 78.086 acres whereas 15.236 acres incorporate access roads.
Kiggundu asserts that he is the rightful owner of the land and that he legally obtained it from the Wakiso district Land Board although Wakiso Land Board disowns him saying signatures were forged.

@ THE OFFICE COMMISSIONER LAND REGISTRATION
According to an insider at the office of the Commissioner Land Registration, Kabaka’s lawyers arrived at the tribunal in time for hearing, ready to expose Hamis Kiggundu who they insist faked titles on Kabaka’s Kigo land.
They petitioned for the cancellation of these fake titles so that Ham doesn’t hoodwink other people and sell them this land which doesn’t exist.
Hamis who a few days ago went to Mengo and confessed before cameras how he gave up on Kabaka’s land, shockingly ate his vomit when he changed his mind and protested cancellation of the fake titles. 
Commissioner Land Registration tribunal summoned the two parties to listen to them before pronouncing themselves on the cancellation application.
Minutes later, after the arrival of Kabaka’s lawyers, Hamis Kiggundu entered with his front man Edward Nakibinge with whom they claim ownership of Kigo land through Kiham Enterprises Ltd. 
Kiggundu who looked frustrated because of the absence of his lawyer Muwema, was seen moving up and down, making endless calls to someone whom we believe was his lawyer Fred Muwema of Muwema & Co. Advocates.
Minutes later, counsel Muwema arrived and on his arrival, he asked tribunal for adjournment to grant him more time to study his client’s titles. 
“We are asking for a two weeks’ adjournment…” pleaded Kiggundu’s lawyer Muwema, to which Kabaka’s lawyer objected saying that was too much time. There is nothing much Muwema was studying, the fact is Hamis Kiggundu’s land titles are fake, they should just be cancelled, nothing much.
Tribunal gave Muwema only one week and they are expected to return today.

KABAKA’S LAWYERS SET TOUGH TERMS
After adjournment, Hamis Kiggundu approached Kabaka’s lawyers and asked them why they are tainting his name before Kabaka’s subjects yet he is a loyal subject.
In his response, one of the lawyers told Kiggundu, “You are just making false allegations. None of us has ever gone to media houses to spit fire against you like you do against Buganda Land Board officials. We have your recordings to the media blackmailing some BLB officials and labelling them as fraudsters. By the way, after this land matter, we have other instructions to sue you over your defamatory statements against Kabaka’s officials.”
While addressing media a few days ago, Hamis Kiggundu named BLB officials he wanted Katikkiro Mayiga to investigate for what he termed as being fraudster. Also click here to read this story: 10 MEN & WOMEN MANAGING KABAKA’S PROPERTIES IN BUGANDA LAND BOARD NAMED: SHOCKING DETAILS ABOUT THEIR QUALIFICATIONS!
These officials said Kiggundu is targeting them because they blocked his deal to grab over 120 acres of Kabaka’s Kigo land. 
We are reliably informed, Kabaka’s lawyers advised Hamis Kiggundu to conceed cancellation of his fake titles created on Kabaka’s land and make a public apology to His Majesty The Kabaka of Buganda, his officials and to all the people of Buganda for the plot he had crafted to grab Kabaka’s land.
“You cancel the fake titles and make a public apology. Short of this, we will leave you naked.” Vowed Kabaka’s lawyers.

WE HAVE NO OBJECTION WITH BOUNDARY OPENING – KABAKA’S LAWYERS.
On Hamis Kiggundu’s request for boundary opening to ascertain his freehold land from Kabaka’s mailo land, Kabaka’s lawyers said they are very okay with it, they have no objections.
In a letter dated May 24, Mr. Henry Opio Ogenyi the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development
said there were overlaps between Kyadondo Block 273, Plot 38 (Mailo Title) and Kyadondo Block 273, Plots (23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977). 
The Ministry called for a boundary opening exercise to determine the exact borders of the 140-acres of land in Kigo which Hamis Kiggundu claims. 
For starters, boundary opening is a method for determining the exact borders of a piece of property. It mainly focuses on the definition of the corners of a plot. 
In a letter to CEO Buganda Land Board, Mr. Ogenyi said, “There is a need for boundary opening of plots 23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977 in relation plot 38, all Kyandondo block 273.” 
Kiggundu had also proposed that a joint boundary opening exercise of both the freehold land titles comprised of Kyadondo Block 273 Plots 23974, 23975, 23976, 23977 and the Kabaka’s Private Mailo land comprised of Kyadondo  Block 273 Plots 87, 99,110 be carried out to seek clarifications and ascertain the true location of both properties and as a way of confirming that the two properties are separate, do not overlap into one another.  Click here to read this story: KATIKKIRO MAYIGA FINALLY SPEAKS OUT ON HOW HAMIS KIGGUNDU FAKED TITLES ON KABAKA’S KIGO LAND; POLICE BOSSES, UMEME & NEMA TO BE QUIZZED

ANOTHER TOUGH TERM
Kabaka’s lawyers said, “We also want boundary opening, however, land boundary is opened on two genuine titles but his is disputed, it’s fake. 
Let’s first put Hamis Kiggundu’s title on a test of legality. First question/procedure which Mr. Kiggundu must address, is the authenticity of his titles. How did he get them? Officials of Wakiso Land Board say their signatures were forged, and you call that a genuine title?” Asked Kabaka’s lawyers.
Secondly they asked Kiggundu to explain how Kajjansi Town Coucil land committee sanctioned him to get this land yet the disputed Kabaka’s Kigo land is in Makindye Ssaabagabo Municipality. 
“Don’t you think may be your land is somewhere else not in Kigo as you allege?” Lawyers asked.
Kabaka’s lawyers say the whole Country was mapped, if Hamis says his land is in the lake area, which is public land,
“Public land comes from crown land. Crown land was crown grant. We are asking Kiggundu for his crown grant number if he is talking about owning public land.

JEEMA PARTY HEADQUARTERS UNDER SIEGE, SECURITY IN PANIC OVER BESIGYE’S NEW PLOT

0

When JEEMA party president Hon. Basalirwa Asuman presided over the swearing in ceremony of new party leaders in various portfolios on 26th May 2022 at the party headquarters in Mengo

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

JUSTICE FORUM Party headquarters in Mengo, Rubaga division, Kampala Capital City is reportedly besieged by security operatives after getting intelligence that Dr. Kizza Besigye, the leader of a political pressure group, People’s Front for Transtion (PTF) was planing to use this venue as a command centre to disorganise today’s Heroes’ day celebrations!
Authorities at JEEMA party have denied knowledge about the said plot.
They want police and other security officers who since today morning put their party headquarters under siege to immediately leave saying as a party, they have a right to utilize their offices in executing the day to day work of the party without any beleaguerment.
Citing Article 69 (1) of the 1995 Constitution, Mr. Frederick Deric Namakajo the Secretary Legal Affairs, JEEMA Party has said, ” Ugandans adopted the multi-party system as their choice and as such, under Article 72 and Section 3, 4 & 6 of the Political Party and Organizations Act 2005, the Justice Forum (JEEMA) was registered with the Electoral Commission in 2005 as a Political Party and its registered offices located at JEEMA. These offices are never police barracks neither station.”
This news website has learnt that, today morning on the 9th day of June 2022 being a Heroes day, military operatives besieged JEEMA Party headquarters causing fear and intimidation not only to party officials, members but to the residents living within Mengo.
Mr. Namakajo says, all this is done with no explanation given by the said officers.
“This act indeed has left thoughts in our minds not limited to whether it is US who have held the Heroes’ day celebrations or we are to be awarded Heroes medals for such deployment.” Reads Namakajo’s letter to security officials.
This is the second time within a period of less than a month, JEEMA headquarter is besieged. The first time was on May 12, 2022 a day Dr. Kizza Besigye was put under house arrest after he was intercepted by security operatives following his attempt to mobilise Ugandans to raise up against the skyrocketing basic commodity prices which the Front believes that was and is affecting common citizens.
The same military operatives, that same day, beleaguered, besieged and encircled the JEEMA Party headquarters to a stand still the party work for a full day, psychologically torturing JEEMA staff and the surrounding community, according to Mr. Namakajo.
In his letter addressed to security officers, Namakajo has reminded them of President Calvin Coolidge who once said, ‘No one is compelled to choose the profession of a police officer, but having chosen it, every one is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements.
“A commitment to the vocation of law enforcement is a commitment of justice. We are talking about JUSTICE which is an acronym of JEEMA. To those of you who have answered the call to become police professionals, the letters making up the word JUSTICE represent a commitment that is central to who you are, how you act and what you represent. So are you representing those letters or orders from someone?” Asked JEEMA’s Secretary for Legal Affairs, urging government through the enforcement agencies to take this as a serious issue and to know that JEEMA condemns such acts as they deem them to be the acts of a dictator and a fearing government living in guilt.

D/SPEAKER TAYEBWA ON WHY GOV’T NEEDS TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL VACCINE MANUFACTURERS

0

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

THE Deputy Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa has asked the Government to implement public private partnerships with local investors who are venturing in vaccine manufacturing to ensure availability of stock at any given time.
Tayebwa who toured the Vaccine Access Initiative (VAI) plant and stores run by local investors in Kampala said that such ventures require government support through affordable credit funding and grant of leased land to enhance expansion of production facilities.
“We will ask the government to partner with you because beyond purchasing your medicine, we should provide affordable financial support  and reduce your business’ debt burden through government’s import substitution strategy. This would help the venture to avoid high commercial credit interest rates”  Tayebwa said.
The Vaccine Access Initiative plant launched early last month by Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has the capacity to vaccinate at least 4,000 clients per day and has a storage capacity of over 20 million doses.
Dr. Cedric Akwesigye the VAI  Director revealed that the plant is set to start manufacturing vaccines in the country.
The Deputy Speaker who was impressed with the setup of the plant promised to advocate for VAI to ensure they access affordable credit from the Uganda Development Bank (UDB) and also to push for access to government incentives for manufacturers like grant of land through the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA).
“We will talk to UDB so that they can support you because vaccines that are going to be manufactured here are the same we have been importing. We have invested highly in UDB and as Parliament we have supported all funding requests for UDB and our target was to support people like you. Sometimes you have not been visible but now I have seen” the Deputy Speaker promised.
Tayebwa also promised to arrange meetings between VAI, State Minister for Investment Evelyn Anite and the top management of UIA so that land for expansion is provided.
Government through UIA provides land and does feasibility studies for investors who successfully pitch investment plans that are deemed fit for industrialization.
Tayebwa also expressed gratitude to the company for tapping in the locally developed skills because there were no foreign expatriates at the plant when he visited it.
Dr Akwesigye told the Deputy Speaker that the company indeed plans to expand and will be basing on government allocation of land to embark on phase two of the project which is bigger than what has so far been put on the ground.
“We have over 10 products where we have signed partnership agreements with companies in the US and China that have big manufacturing capacity but they want money to come and invest here. For phase two we are actually coming for land because we don’t have enough” said Akwesigye.
“We haven’t received any funding from the government. However, what we are suffering from is the delay to implement the Presidential directive. I am very happy and thank you so much for committing to push to the end so that we see results” he noted.
The Deputy Speaker promised to follow-up on the Presidential directive on financial support for the initiative through off-take funds so that the company can meet its primary objective.

HOW ACCOUNTABILITY DAY WILL STREAMLINE SERVICE DELIVERY IN MANAFWA DISTRICT

0

OPINION BY:
KAGENYI LUKKA
D/RDC MANAFWA

AT his inauguration on May 12 last year, The Head of State, President Yoweri Museveni, listed cohesion, zero-tolerance to corruption, regional integration, patriotism and service delivery as the core five deliverables under the current five-year new term (2021-2026).
This was not only a clarion call to people in Government, but to the entire country, especially when it comes to service delivery and the urgent need to transform 39% of Ugandan homesteads that are currently living under subsistence or traditional lifestyles.
Ensuring service delivery is top of my agenda in Manafwa district. To achieve this, as the Deputy Resident District Commissioner, I have organised a series of events geared at monitoring Government projects in Manafwa and ensuring accountability. 
The key event that will shape these accountability activities is the Accountability Day, which has been designated for Monday August 8, 2022.
In particular, all Heads of Departments at the district, Chief Administrative Officer, Sub-County Chiefs and Parish Chiefs are expected to account to the public. 
It should also be noted that those who will sabotage the accountability day by not appearing or giving funny excuses will be strongly dealt with by Police and other authorities.
This Accountability Day has been designed to create a value for money system in Manafwa District where all Government employees and contractors will openly account to the public on the implementation of projects. It should not be taken lightly by those that are required to account. 
It will also act as a monitoring vehicle for various Government projects in the District and also re-activate the duty of all citizens to combat corruption and misuse or wastage of public property as enshrined under Article 17 of the Uganda Constitution.
To improve public service delivery in Manafwa, I have also organised community forums-popularly known as barazas where citizens will interact with district officials and civil servants on a number of issues, including explaining to them the delays and slow-pace service delivery in their respective areas.
We have also embarked on direct field monitoring tours of Government projects in the district, especially roads, schools, health facilities, among others to ensure that value for money is registered.
These field tours have also helped us to directly get feedback from the public, who have proposed several mechanisms on how to ensure service delivery and accountability in the district.
The citizens have also made requests on the need to improve agricultural extension services, farm input distribution, access to clean drinking water, among other needs that can be easily delivered if public servants are held accountable.
Away from the accountability task we have embarked on, I spent the last two weeks sensitizing district leaders, including Sub-County Chiefs, district council leaders, Parish Chiefs and other elected officials on the need to squarely implement the Parish Development Model (PDM), which our leader, President Museveni, launched in February at Kibuku Primary School in Bukedi sub-region.
The need to cautiously handle the Parish Development Model funds, weeding out bureaucracy and red-tape, favouristism and corruption is the key message I have given leaders because if the Parish development Model is handled properly, it will act as a magic bullet for the much-needed transformation of 39% homesteads that are trapped in traditional methods of survival. 
Therefore, I strongly believe that Accountability Day will act as a mechanism to constantly keep Government officials on tenterhooks in order for them to delivery services and work around the clock to elevate citizens from the traditional ways of life into the money economy, mainly through commercial agriculture.
I also appeal to all leaders and public officials in Manafwa district to cooperate as we account to people as enjoined by the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, which provides that all public offices shall be held in trust for the people.

She made this revelation on Monday evening when she joined a group of legislators and staff of Parliament at the breastfeeding Centre to celebrate the 4th birthday of Abdul Jawad Alionzi, son to Obongi Woman MP Zumura Maneno.
Speaking at the event, the Speaker noted that other work spaces should emulate the example of Parliament to create a safe breastfeeding area for mothers, so that their careers do not get affected by the challenges that come with child birth.
“Regardless of the size of your company, it’s to our advantage to help new mothers transition back to work after maternity leave and this can best be done by creating safe and clean spaces for breastfeeding mothers and caretakers.’’ She Rt. Hon. Among, who doubles as the Bukedea district Woman Member of Parliament.
She applauded staff attached to the facility for the noble work they do and tasked the Human Resource Department of Parliament to ensure that these staff are well taken care of.

YESTERDAY, Manafwa district Deputy Resident District Commissioner Kagenyi Lukka passed out 1200 students from four schools at a function which took place at Butiru Napoleon Field, in Manafwa urging them to seek knowledge and skills (academic excellence), detest the crime and unbecoming behaviours. 
Mr. Kagenyi told students that it is their duty to love, defend their country, cherish the nature of their country, environment, natural resources, but above all, he called upon them to be disciplined, hardworking and excel in academics in order to achieve their desirable development goals in the future.
The four schools are;  Wakoro SS, Bunyinza Alliance SS,  Butiru Model SS and Butiru Comprehensive SS.
The function which was attended by area LC1 chairpersons, patrons of the patriotism club, coordinator of the Headteacher of the four schools, DEO, DPC, Chairman LCV Manafwa and District Patriotism coordinator, it was graced by Mr. Magomu Mubarrack, the Deputy National Patriotism Commissioner from the National Patriotism Secretariat, Kampala.
“No one will force you to love your country. We can’t be teaching you how to love your country. We are only inculcating into you values of patriotism.” Said Mr. Kagenyi.
The values he talked about include; loyalty to Uganda, love for self, family and Uganda, protect invironment and natural resources, cherish hardwork, honesty and accountability and fairness, Pan Africanism, East African Integration and non sectarian goals and values, cherish cultural heritage, family values and our roots, time management, discipline, duty and adherence.  
Patriotism is envisaged in the 1995 Constitution of Uganda Under Section xxix of National objective and directive principles of State Policy which commends that every citizen of Uganda shall be patriotic and loyal to his country. 
It further states that, exercise and enjoyment of rights is inseparable from fulfilment of duties among the duties that are to be fulfilled.
Kagenyi explained that every citizen of this country must be patriotic and loyal to this country. 
“The Constitution of The Republic of Uganda commands that it will be a duty of all able bodied citizens to undergo military training for the defence of their country and constitution whenever called upon and State shall ensure that facilities are available for such training.” Explained Deputy RDC Kagenyi.
The mission of Patriotism is to inculcate values and norms of patriotism in the students and youth of Uganda in order to develop resourceful, responsible, disciplined and resellient citizens who are loyal and ready to defend transformation of Uganda.
The strategic imperative is;
● Defeating ideological distortion 
● Universal Patriotism (from primary to universty)
● Enhancing public awareness and acceptance 
● Mandatory mainstreaming of Patriotism in all schools and institutions 
● Core messages to all Ugandans, being patriotic and loyal to Uganda is a constitutional duty.
“Patriotism spirit isn’t inbone but developed and nurtured with deliberate effort. 
Patriotism ideology builds a citizens National conscious leading to a peaceful united and prosperous country. Lastly, Patriotism program is non partisan.” Mr. Kagenyi told students.  
Ms. Grace Nanyere, the District Patriotism coordinator of Manafwa said they passed out 1200 students after undergoing patriotism ideology. 
“Basically we teach students mindset, program about mindset change. We teach students core values of Patriotism for example; love, service, sacrifice, loyalty, honesty, time management, Pan Africanism and very many other values.” She said in an exclusive interview with News Editor Media shortly after yesterday’s function.
This program, she told us, “Is actually preparing the youth and young children to be responsible enough and takeover their adulthood roles when for us the elders have disappeared. So we are nurturing and mentoring character of these children to be responsible citizens of the Country and to work hard towards vision 2040.”
She said, it is the responsibility of every Ugandan to work hard so that Vision 2040 is achieved.
