Mwanga II court lashes youths in Kayanja sodomy smear showdown
A judge slammed six young men accused of lying about pastor Robert Kayanja. The court ordered them to stop delaying their defense case about fake sodomy claims.

Prosecutors say the group planned together to destroy the popular preacher's reputation. Five of the accused were police officers when...

Museveni orders Kaliro wetlands cleared as farmers watch cows perish
President Museveni tackled the wetlands crisis during his visit to Kaliro district residents. The leader pushed for protecting these water sources through talks rather than force. He reminded crowds that wetlands once covered 20 percent of Uganda's territory. Farmers have been clearing these areas for rice and sugarcane crops over many years. The president warned this practice cannot continue because it damages the environment. Museveni shared profits from his personal farming ventures to prove his point. His fish ponds at Kawumu farm generate 80 million shillings per acre each year. Rice farmers working wetland plots earn just 4 million shillings from the same space. The president also highlighted successful banana farming in Bushenyi...
