Kioxia and Partners Test Optical SSD for Green Centers
Three Japanese companies worked together to create a new computer part. Kioxia, AIO Core, and Kyocera built a special storage drive that uses light instead of electricity to move data. This fresh design helps computers talk to storage drives from much farther away than before. The new system doubles how fast information can travel compared to older versions. Companies need this speed boost because modern programs like AI require moving huge amounts of data quickly. Light-based connections work better than regular wires when you need to spread out your computer equipment. The technology keeps energy use down but signal quality high. This matters a lot for places with many computers working at once, like big data centers. These buildings...
High Court Denies KIU Stay on 47 Billion Recovery Order
A judge at Kampala's High Court said no to Kampala International University when they asked him to stop a bank from taking 47 billion Shillings from them. Judge Steven Mubiru explained that KIU failed to show why Housing Finance Company Limited of Kenya would not give back the money if KIU later won its case. He said the Court of Appeal can always order Kenya's bank to return any cash if KIU proves successful. KIU belongs to businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba. They wanted the court to block actions from earlier court decisions about money they owed. A judge in Kenya named Collins Namachanja decided this case back in September 2019. The High Court agreed with his decision last month. KIU argued they needed time because paying might ruin...
Family seeks justice over Private Obol death in custody
The relatives of Martine Obol want answers about his death. This 26-year-old served as a private in the Special Forces Command before he passed away under strange conditions. His family says other soldiers beat him badly when the Uganda People's Defence Forces locked him up. They claim he never received proper medical help until it was late. Obol died at Mulago hospital on December 31, 2024, around 2 pm. Nobody faces punishment for what happened to him. William Ochola raised Obol since he was small. He told people Obol came home healthy for Christmas last December. Shortly after Obol went back to work, someone called saying he had been arrested. Reports state that Obol went with a friend to send money from a bank on December 23. He...
Bugweri CAO orders dismissal of officer over fake papers
The Uganda watchdog group has told William Makune he must fire Fredrick Womakuyu fast. Makune is the top manager of Bugweri district, and Womakuyu works there, handling natural resources. People reported that he faked his school papers. Anne Twinomugisha from the inspection office wrote about this on April 7, 2025. Her team checked everything and found the claims seemed true. Twinomugisha wants local police to start a real criminal case against Womakuyu right away. They need to look into how he may have changed his papers to seem more educated than he really is. The rules say someone in his job needs a science degree in trees, land care, or similar subjects. They must also have extra school training in management. The job calls for...
Missing witnesses stall senior officer trafficking trial
Lawyers cannot find important people who need to speak in court about police officer Gilbert Arinaitwe Bwana. The main person hurt in this case has gone missing. Joseph Kyomuhendo told Judge Alice Komuhangi Khauka about this problem on Monday. He asked for more time to search for these missing people and wanted to talk with Jane Frances Abodo about what to do next. Judge Komuhangi agreed to delay until April 22, 2025. She made clear that everyone must be ready on that day. The court decided last December that enough proof existed to make Bwana face trial. Judge Andrew Bashaija looked at the evidence and said the case should go forward. Lawyers claim Bwana tricked a woman from Mbarara with false promises of housework in Kampala. When...
Tanzania gives 1000 L biolarvicide to help curb malaria
Tanzania gave Uganda 1000 liters of larvicide to kill mosquito larvae. These substances come from organisms like bacteria. Vice President Jessica Alupo talked about this help during World Health Day on Monday. She shared how the President supports fighting diseases across Uganda and praised health officials for their work against many illnesses. Health problems still hurt Ugandan families. People spend lots of money on medical bills, and many lose work hours when sick. Physical and mental health issues slow down national progress. Mosquitoes spread more than just malaria—they carry elephantiasis, yellow fever, and the Zika virus. By stopping mosquitoes, Uganda can reduce many dangerous diseases at once. Most Ugandans face malaria...
ICC appeals reject Ongwen appeal on reparations
The ICC Appeals Court said no to Dominic Ongwen when he tried to change his payment for war crimes. Judge Solomy Balungi Bossa read this decision on Monday during an open court meeting. Mr. Ongwen watched from far away through video, just like some lawyers who speak for victims. The court found good reasons to keep the victims' names secret because these people might face danger if their names became public. This did not hurt Mr. Ongwen's right to review their cases. The judges also agreed that asking people to pay twice made no sense. They explained that money from Ugandan courts differs completely from what ICC orders. Mr. Ongwen failed to show how traditional Acholi ways should become part of ICC rules or change how much he must...
