People who live in the Ibanda District feel upset. They say police officers ask for money when someone wants to leave jail. The officers want 50,000 to 100,000 shillings before letting people go.
Many people discussed this problem at a community meeting in Kayenje Ward, Nyamirima, and Bufunda wards. They felt angry because they had told leaders about it before, but nothing changed. One person said, "We hate paying for something that should cost nothing. Our leaders need to help us."
Mr. Benon Kaimutsya, who leads the Bufunda Division, knows many people feel unhappy about this. He says this happens all over, not just in Bufunda. He asks people to speak up before they give money to the police. "It works better if you tell someone before...
Kawoko-Kyaziiza Church of Uganda Primary School has big problems. This school in Bukomansimbi District doesn't have enough classrooms. The bathrooms are also very bad. But something good happened! A kind man named Hamiddu Sseremba gave help to the school.
The school belongs to the government under UPE. Many students must share one classroom. This makes learning very hard. Paul Ssegawa, who helps run the school, said the buildings make teaching difficult.
"Sometimes Primary Four learns math at the same time Primary Five studies science in the same room. Students feel confused because they hear different teachers talking," he said.
Mr. Ssegawa also told everyone about another problem. Boys and girls must use the same toilet. This isn't...

They buried him at his family home in Kasubi, Kampala. At the burial, Prince Kassim Nakibinge said nice things about him. "He was honest and open. He acted like a true royal person," Nakibinge said. "He fought illness for many years, but stayed strong."
The Buganda Kingdom's leader, Charles Peter Mayiga, talked about how much Prince Ggolooba loved sports. "He was very important as a football goalkeeper," Mayiga said. "He played cricket too, which many people think is mostly an Indian game."
Many athletes and...
Mr. Thomas Tayebwa from Parliament asked local leaders to check on a program called PDM. He wants them to watch it closely, just like President Museveni does.
Mr. Tayebwa talked to people in Rubirizi District on Tuesday. He said good leaders need to be active. President Museveni shows this by visiting 12 areas to see how the program works.
"The President always tells us that leaders must set good examples to help change people's lives," Mr. Tayebwa said.
He asked leaders to care about their country and help make the program work. Their help matters a lot for small villages.
"Leaders must really want the Parish Development Model to do well. This program helps poor people in our towns have better lives," he added.
The PDM program...
President Museveni said nice things about Rubirizi District. He likes how they use the Parish Development Model money with honesty. He visited the area on Tuesday. He started looking at PDM work in the Ankole area after spending a week in Kigezi.
President Museveni talked to people who received PDM money. He also met with district leaders. He felt happy because nobody told him bad things about how the program runs in Rubirizi.
"Rubirizi seems free from people stealing PDM money. I did not hear anyone complain. You spent the PDM money the right way—keep doing good work," he said.
The president told people each parish will have 800 million shillings in two years if they use the money well. He said the government does not want this...
Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye asked President Museveni for help. He wants MP Naume Kibaju to stop being the leader for Sheema North.
Dr. Tumwesigye wrote a letter to the President on January 27, 2025. He said MP Kibaju became less popular after her husband died. He also said she does not do her job well.
The former minister thinks MP Kibaju might cause problems for their political party. He believes other parties could win if she stays as the leader.
"Many people from our party asked me to run for parliament again," Dr. Tumwesigye said in his letter. "They want me because MP Kibaju lost their support."
He asked the President to talk to MP Kibaju about leaving her job. He worries she will block the success of their party if she stays.

Mr. Amuriat leads a group called FDC. He says mean words on the internet do not bother him. Many people say bad things about him. They call him a sellout to the government. Even Dr. Besigye said this before he went to jail.

Mr. Amuriat talked on TV. He said, "People draw pictures of me and say mean things. They call me a sellout. I do not care because that is not who I am."
Many people think Mr. Amuriat should speak up more about Dr. Besigye's imprisonment. The police took Dr. Besigye from Kenya and charged him with crimes. Others have asked for his...
The police caught someone who hurt people from the Malawi Congress Party at Nselema Trading Centre. Many people wonder if the police treat everyone the same way.
Mr. Peter Kalaya from the police said hurting others is against the law. He told people the police were working hard to find everyone who caused trouble. They already caught one person just one day after the fight happened.
Some people feel happy the police acted fast. Other people ask why the police work quickly when the ruling party gets hurt but move slowly when other parties have problems.
Many worry the police might help only the people in power. They think everyone should be treated fairly when bad things happen.
The country has seen many bad attacks in recent times...
NICE Trust wants politicians to stop using violence and talk about important issues instead. Mr. Gwazayani from NICE Trust talked to church leaders on Monday and met with the Chikwawa Pastors group.
The meeting asked church leaders to tell people about voting changes happening March 13-15. Mr. Gwazayani told the church leaders that Malawi became a democracy in 1993. He feels sad that after many years, some people act like we still have only one party.
Mr. Gwazayani explained that some politicians pay young people to fight, which makes our country move backwards. He called this very bad. "In a democracy, people can support any party they want," Mr. Gwazayani said. Hurting someone because of their party choice breaks human rights...
