A worker named Linus Nasimiyu won a fight against her employer, Mbale City. She worked as the head of schools there. The city leaders had told her to stop working in December because they thought she had done something wrong.
The leaders said Nasimiyu let her driver use a work car after office hours without asking permission. The car later crashed. The city then tried to find someone new for her job by putting out job notices.
Nasimiyu felt this was unfair. She went to a special office called Equal Opportunities Uganda to help her. This office told the city to stop looking for new people until they finished dealing with Nasimiyu's case.
The city didn't like this answer and went to a bigger court. The judge, Mr. Lubega, agreed with...

The Uganda government wants to borrow money from Stanbic Bank to buy Umeme, a company that brings electricity to homes all over Uganda. The bank might give them $191 million because Umeme will stop working in Uganda next March.

The government asked special money checkers to count all the money Umeme spent on putting up electricity poles and wires. A lady named Irene Batebe works for the government. She said these checkers will make...
