President Museveni promised to fix up Isunga Police Station during his Friday visit to Kagadi district. He asked Major General David Mugisha from Special Forces Command and State House Comptroller Jane Barekye to handle the rebuilding work. This station holds special meaning in Ugandan history because of what happened there during the fight for freedom many years ago.
The President talked about February 6, 1981, when he started fighting against Milton Obote with just 27 guns. His team first attacked Kabamba Barracks, where they grabbed military gear before moving through Kagadi toward Isunga Police Station. They took over the police station completely and captured an RPG-7B gun, which became very important to them.

Women engineers met for breakfast at the Protea Hotel in Naguru on March 21. The Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers set up this event to tackle the gender gap in their field.

Uganda officials deny any wrongful removal of people from Sango Bay land. They claim they legally took back the area and gave it to business partners according to official plans. Dr. Sam Mayanja from the Lands Ministry stated the government wants the land used as planned. He believes news reports and public comments hurt projects and discourage investors.
The Sango Bay area went to Sango Bay Estates Limited back in 1933. It sat mostly empty for many years, which let wandering cattle herders move in without permission. The company broke lease rules by not using the land, so the government claimed it back for new projects. The leaders decided in 2020 to hand the area to BIDCO and partners for making palm oil.
Uganda promised BIDCO...
