The IPC says Swapo harms parliamentary oversight because it leads most National Assembly committees. IPC officials Rodney Cloete and Imms Nashinge called this a constitutional crisis after the recent elections for committee chairs. They claim eight out of nine committees have Swapo leaders. Only the Public Accounts Committee has an opposition chair as required by Standing Rule 14(1).
Swapo Youth League secretary Ephraim Nekongo responded that his party won more seats, which gives them more committee positions. He said all parties serve on committees and can still help with oversight duties. Nekongo added that IPC members need to learn the parliament rules faster instead of complaining.
Former speaker Peter Katjavivi explained that...
Residents claim an Omaruru councillor misused his power to kick someone off a plot at Hakahana. Mangundu Sigberth, who leads the Omaruru management committee, allegedly wanted the land for business purposes. An excavator tore down the resident's shack after he refused to leave Erf 1841 at Hakahana Extension 5. Community members stepped in to stop the eviction. Johannes Sheehama said his brother lived there before others moved to the area.
Sheehama explained that his brother lost the land when a neighbor changed the registration during his illness. The neighbor already has land but works with Sigberth to turn the area into shops near the main road. Sigberth denied these claims, saying he never took part in any eviction. He believes...
Mac Hengari stepped down as Namibian minister of agriculture, fisheries, water, and land reform after his arrest. He faces rape allegations from a 21-year-old woman who claims the assault happened when she was still underage. Police arrested Hengari for allegedly trying to bribe the woman to withdraw her case filed last year. Both Hengari and the woman provided DNA samples for testing, but results remain pending.
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah had appointed Hengari to the Cabinet just months ago in March, naming him among her top eight parliamentary picks. Several allegations came to light earlier this month, prompting political commentators like Rui Tyitendi to call for his temporary resignation during investigations. Hengari...
Game makers at The Chinese Room shared new details about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which comes out in October 2025. Game Director Alex Skidmore wants dialogues to feel like mazes rather than straight paths. This design prevents players from simply picking what seems like the good option every time. The team hopes players will explore different conversation paths instead of falling into predictable patterns.
Players take on the role of Phyre, an Elder vampire who wakes up after a long sleep. The character has been deliberately left open for player interpretation. Rather than telling players about their legendary status upfront, other characters show it through their reactions to Phyre. Though Phyre starts bound with...
Janet Museveni wants women to take charge of their money and grow together through smart spending. The education minister sent Deputy Speaker Tayebwa to share her message at a women's event in Gomba District. She compared their work to the Bible story about servants who managed their master's wealth. The first lady praised local women for starting their savings group.
Mrs. Museveni pointed to Bangladesh, where poor women built a world-famous bank. She thanked MP Sylvia Nayebale for leading the savings program. The deputy speaker also opened a new school building during his visit. Dr. Kirumira Henry Harris Kalule built the classroom block through his foundation. The ceremony happened at Ngomanene Primary School.
Government watchdogs called for suspending land official Baker Mugaino amid fraud claims. The Inspector General told the Lands Ministry leaders to remove him after agents searched his office last week. They found papers showing he might have canceled real land titles and made fake ones instead. He also faces accusations about lifting legal holds on property and creating multiple certificates for the same land. Officials gave the ministry seven days to report back about the suspension.
Land scams remain widespread across Uganda, with about one-third of all corruption reports involving property. A recent study showed that more than a quarter of landowners faced some fraud, such as forged papers or illegal evictions. These problems cause...
Uganda's Rwanda ambassador wants Kabale officials to fix truck parking problems at the Katuna border. Major General Robert Rusoke spoke to security leaders about dangers from fuel tankers parked overnight. These trucks create fire risks for nearby homes, and dark areas around them might attract criminals to the town.
Rusoke told leaders that if managed better, the border could bring more business to southwest Uganda. He said security means more than military protection. It also covers freedom from threats that hurt citizens' rights or property. Kabale official Godfrey Nyakahuma praised how Uganda works with Rwanda on security matters. Their joint meetings help stop crime across borders. Both countries share information about terrorism...
A white rose sits on Pope Francis's marble tomb at Santa Maria Maggiore church in Rome. Light shines from a single spotlight on the crucifix above his name, carved in stone. The late Pope was buried there after his public funeral at the Vatican on Saturday. Many people lined up early Sunday morning to pay respects to the pontiff who died Monday at age 88. Francis chose this church because of his deep devotion to the Virgin Mary.
The basilica stands near the Colosseum, close to Rome's busy Termini station, outside Vatican City, where popes usually rest. Francis told church officials back in 2022 that he wanted to be laid to rest there. World leaders joined hundreds of thousands of Catholics who gathered near the Vatican for his funeral...
Gachagua showed up at Boiman Ol Joro-Orok Catholic Church Sunday before his talk on a Mt Kenya TV station later tonight. He asked people on X to join him for what he called a truthful chat about Kenya's future. This marks his second media appearance this month after his KTN interview, in which he made claims against the government.
The church service became his first public worship since attackers disrupted a service at PCEA Mwiki Church on April 6, damaging several cars in his group. After that attack, Gachagua sent Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja a letter saying his life was in danger from repeated attacks at his political meetings across various areas. Nyandarua remains one of his strong support bases where Senator John Methu...
