Another election dispute has landed in the High Court at Wakiso, with Daniel Kananura petitioning against George Musisi, the newly elected MP for Kira Municipality. Kananura is contesting the outcome of the election, dragging both Musisi and @UgandaEC into courts of law.

The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) 15 Marines Brigade alongside officers from the Uganda Police Force, Uganda Prisons Service, and the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), conducted a 30-kilometre route march in Buliisa District. The exercise follows a directive from the Chief of Defence Forces to test troops’ physical fitness, discipline, teamwork, resilience, combat readiness and overall preparedness for future operations. The Commander of the 15 Marines Brigade, Brigadier General Michael Nyarwa, said the march was organised in response to the CDF’s guidance aimed at ensuring that security personnel remain ready and capable of executing their constitutional mandate.  Brig Gen Nyarwa observed that the presence and march by the Brigade in the area demonstrated the force’s preparedness to protect Ugandans, especially communities living close to the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo. “We are here to assure Ugandans, to assure the people of Buliisa, that we are ready to protect them. Being near the borderline with the DRC, where the Allied Democratic Forces operate. This kind of movement sends a very serious signal that the UPDF remains alert and prepared,” Brig Gen Nyarwa said.  He said the route march fulfilled one of its key objectives of testing and improving physical fitness, health and mental well-being at the individual level, while at the same time reinforcing one of the core values of the Marines, teamwork. Brig Gen Nyarwa emphasised that while military skills and equipment are important, it is ultimately the ideologically sharpened human being who remains central to combat effectiveness. The 30-kilometre route march is one of the activities on the UPDF calendar and is conducted across UPDF formations to maintain troop endurance, discipline and combat readiness.

UPDATE: The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) @MODVA_UPDF, operating under the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), together with the Somali National Army (SNA), have captured a senior Al-Shabaab commander alive during a coordinated operation in the general area of Mubaraka. The suspect, identified as Salaad Cusmaan Macalin, alias “Sahm,” was apprehended on Wednesday in the north-western outskirts of Mubaraka by AUSSOM troops and the SNA Gorgor Unit 203. Macalin, 40, is a battalion commander within the Al-Shabaab ranks. At the time of his capture, Macalin was reportedly conducting reconnaissance on SNA defensive positions in preparation for an imminent attack on Mubaraka. He was allegedly operating alongside a group of fighters, including about 17 foreign militants who had recently moved from Jilib to Ugunji. The Sector One Commander, Brigadier General Jackson Kayanja, commended the troops for the successful operation, describing it as a significant breakthrough in ongoing efforts to degrade Al-Shabaab capabilities in the area. He urged local leaders and members of the community to continue cooperating with security forces in order to strengthen stability and enhance security. The UPDF troops under AUSSOM, in partnership with the Somali National Army, to neutralise terrorist threats and support ongoing efforts to restore lasting peace and security in Somalia. @KagutaMuseveni @mkainerugaba @ChrisOMagezi @nbstv @StateHouseUg @GovUganda

.@AntiGraft_SH working with @PoliceUg in Nakasongola and @ODPPUGANDA, has arraigned five members of the land allocation committee on charges of; conspiracy to defraud, assault causing grievious harm, malicious damage to property and Unlawful confinement. The accused; Kasibante Robert Kawa Robert Musisi Julius Gawera Ronald Semata Vicent and others still at large, being members of the Land Allocation Committee allegedly embarked on the process of subdividing and distributing land within Kyarubanga forest reserve prior to its degazettement, in contravention of H.E. the President’s directive regarding the degazettement of the said forest reserve. The accused persons are alleged to have forcefully taken possession of land occupied by sitting tenants and allocated it to themselves and other individuals, including non-residents of Nakasongola District. These actions gave rise to serious disputes, assaults, and incidents of malicious damage to property. Additionally, it is alleged that some members of the committee obtained money from members of the public under the pretext of allocating them land; however, in several instances, the promised land was never allocated. SH-ACU's intervention followed a directive by H.E to investigate allegations of corruption and irregularities by the Land Allocation Committee. Investigations into the matter are still ongoing.
