The Observer newspaper is sorry to Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka, a very important lawyer for the government of Uganda. They wrote a story about him that wasn't true.
In the story, they said that Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka was part of a secret plan to get a man named Lawrence Semakula in trouble. Mr. Semakula works for the government, too, in a department that handles money. The newspaper said that Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka and some other people wanted Mr. Semakula to be arrested for something bad that happened with a lot of money.
After the story came out, Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka wrote a letter to the newspaper. He told them that what they wrote about him wasn't true and asked them to apologize and tell everyone that the story was wrong.
The newspaper looked at everything again very carefully and found out that they had made a mistake. Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka was never part of any plan to hurt Mr. Semakula. The newspaper didn't mean to cause any harm, but they understood that their story might have made people think bad things about Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka.
The newspaper's owners feel bad about what happened and want to make things right. They are telling everyone that the story they wrote about Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka was not correct. They promise to be more careful in the future and to always check their facts before printing a story.
The newspaper wants Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka and everyone else to know that they didn't want to cause any trouble. They believe it's important to be honest and admit when they make a mistake. Saying sorry in front of everyone is a big deal for them. It shows that they care about doing the right thing.
The newspaper hopes that by apologizing and promising to do better, they can earn back the trust of Hon. Kiryowa Kiwanuka and all the people who read their stories.
