People started a new group called Hongera Saana Uganda. This group wants to help stop bad people from hurting others. They work with the President and keep our country safe.
The police leader, David Wasswa, talked about this at a hotel in Kampala. He said fighting bad people is hard because sometimes, what one person calls bad, another person calls good. He told everyone we need fresh ideas to keep people safe. Talking to regular people helps catch bad guys.
David also said catching bad people is not enough. We must look at why people become bad in the first place. He said before someone does something wrong, they take many steps to get there. The police want to understand those steps better.
Another important person, Steven...
The government gave two Chinese companies a lot of money to build roads in Wakiso. They will spend 107.2 billion shillings on these roads.
Monica Edemachu from the government said China Railway Seventh Group will make the Kisozi-Kitemu and Naggalabi roads. This job costs 41 billion shillings. The workers have 18 months to finish these roads.
"We must sign more papers for Mukono district," Edemachu said. "The big projects happen in Kira and Mukono. Everything looks good. We think all the road work will finish in those 18 months."
Another company, CICO, received 66.2 billion shillings. They will fix the 12-kilometer-long Bukasa-Ssentema-Kakiri road. Last month, the government said yes to another road project in Wakiso. They signed...
Fewer people drowned in Uganda's water last year. The police wrote a report showing 119 drowned in 2024, down from 138 in 2023. Many bad things happen on the water in Uganda. People take things from boats. Some boats tip over. Animals hurt people. But most problems come from people falling into the water.
Lakes have the most drowning cases in Uganda. Lake Victoria had 73 people drown last year. This lake is very big. July became the worst month, with 17 people who drowned. June had only four people drown. The police do not know why more people drown in July.
Drowning makes many families sad in Uganda. Every day, about nine people die from drowning. This means almost 3,000 people each year. Children and young adults face the biggest...
Pius Bigirimana takes care of all the courts in Uganda. He told some important people at Parliament he might ask landlords to close court buildings. This would happen because the money people did not pay rent for these buildings.
Bigirimana attended a meeting with people who check how money is spent. He said he had to use money meant for other court work to pay for places where judges work. Last year, he paid 790 million shillings for late rent, even though this money was not part of his plan.
"I can tell judges they must leave these offices. I will not break the law. I will close these offices instead. This will cause many problems," Bigirimana said to the important people. He added, "If you say I break rules, I will shut down these...
The National Unity Platform started lessons again at their School of Leadership in Kamwokya. This happened only days after police and soldiers came and took many things from the school.
Lewis Rubongoya told people on the internet that classes began again on Monday. The students showed bravery by coming back. He said nice things about teacher Alex Rovans Lwanyaga. The police had locked up Alex and hurt him, but he came back to teach his class right after they let him go.
"When a passion for a better country drives you, nothing can stop you!" Rubongoya wrote.
Last week, people from the police and army rushed into the offices of the National Unity Platform, broke things at the School of Leadership, and took away many books and papers...
The National Oil Seed Project, a Ugandan farming project, wants to help farmers grow more sunflowers, groundnuts, sesame, and soya beans. This project works in 81 places across Uganda. But after four years, many things have gone wrong.
The project's leaders tried to spend 47.5 billion shillings to hire farmers' helpers, but someone stopped this money from being used. Most farmers cannot find good seeds to plant, and only soya bean farmers receive the right seeds.
The project often brings farming supplies late. Farmers need things 30 days before they plant, but these items arrive 30 to 60 days later, causing farmers to miss the best time to plant.
Not many shops sell the special seeds farmers need. The project did not teach farmers...
The first group of National IDs in Uganda ran out of time. The people who make these IDs face big problems with money and workers. These problems might make it hard for people to get new IDs before they vote in 2026.
The ID makers asked for a lot of money—600 billion shillings—but they only got 262 billion shillings. This means they are missing more than half the money they need! They have only used 38 billion shillings. The rest of the money is stuck waiting for machines that have not arrived yet.
The ID office wanted to hire 13,787 helpers for this big job, but by December last year, they had only hired 25 people! Many people—11,595 of them—passed their job tests but still wait for letters saying they can start work. And 2,192 jobs...
A man named Elias Nalukoola from the National Unity Platform party has a big problem. He says someone took his helper away and stole his important papers. He needed these papers to join a special vote for the Kawempe North area.
Nalukoola stood outside the voting office looking very upset. He could not go inside because he did not have the right papers. The papers showed he paid money to be part of the vote.
"This morning is horrible. What has been done is horrible. But we shall not surrender or abandon the noble cause of promoting democracy in Uganda," Nalukoola told people who write news.
He thinks the government took his helper and his papers. He asked all Ugandans who care about fair voting to speak up about what happened.

Joseph Kony's family returned to Uganda from the Central African Republic yesterday. The family includes his wife, Ruth Achan, and their children, Maisa Amu, Betty Akidi, and Pope Kony.
Uganda's Minister Kenneth Omona met them at Entebbe Airport early in the morning. The family will live in Gulu. Joseph Kony did not come back with them. He remains hidden, and anyone who finds him can earn 17 billion shillings, which equals about 4.5 million dollars.
Other people from Kony's army returned to Uganda before this family. In July 2023, fourteen fighters came back with their families after they gave up to authorities. A man named Major General Ali Acaye led this group, which had fourteen wives and thirty-three children.
Joseph Kony led a...
