I am a Rwandan man and I do not regret it. Rwandans in Uganda belong here just as Baganda belong in Buganda, Dr. Lawrence Muganga said after appearing before the Parliamentary Appointments Committee that is vetting ministerial nominees.

In Zimbabwe, as you read this, Members of Parliament are seeking to amend the Constitution. They want to extend the President's term of office from five years to seven years and also change the law governing presidential elections so that the power to elect the President is taken away from citizens and given exclusively to Members of Parliament.

As things stand today, it appears they are likely to succeed in making these constitutional changes.

Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi has said Parliament's Appointments Committee should not proceed with the vetting of Cabinet nominees whose citizenship status remains in question.

Speaking to journalists, Ssenyonyi argued that individuals alleged to hold dual citizenship should first clear any doubts regarding their eligibility before appearing before the committee.
"We expect those with question marks on their citizenship; those who are known to have dual citizenship should not even bother coming here. Those appointments have to be fixed," he said.

The debate follows concerns raised by lawyers and civil society groups over the eligibility of some of President Museveni's recent Cabinet appointees. Among the names that have featured in the public discussion are Sanjay Tanna, Dr. Lawrence Muganga, Calvin Echodu and Ambassador Adonia Ayebare.
The controversy stems from provisions in the Uganda Citizenship and Immigration Control (Amendment) Act, 2009, which bars dual citizens from holding certain state offices, including Cabinet and ministerial positions.

Despite the concerns, Trade Minister nominee Sanjay Tanna was vetted by the Appointments Committee on Monday. After the session, Tanna said he had clarified the matter and informed the committee that he holds only Ugandan citizenship.
The issue is expected to remain a key focus as Parliament continues vetting nominees for the new Cabinet.

Former Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda has criticized what he describes as attempts to make special arrangements for First Lady and Minister of Education Janet Kataaha Museveni during the parliamentary vetting process.
In a post on his X account, Ssemujju claimed that Janet Museveni once again requested to be vetted virtually via Zoom, but members of Parliament's Appointments Committee reportedly objected to the request.

According to Ssemujju, Speaker Jacob Oboth-Oboth made two attempts to persuade committee members to accept the arrangement, but failed to secure their approval.
The opposition legislator said attention is now focused on whether Parliament will uphold its procedures or make exceptions to accommodate the First Family.

Ssemujju also argued that Janet Museveni did not appear before Parliament during the entire 2021–2026 parliamentary term, raising questions about accountability and oversight.

Outgoing State Minister for Youth and Children Affairs Balaam Barugahara has announced a major breakthrough in the long-running paternity dispute involving more than 20 individuals who claim to be children of the late Kadongo Kamu legend Prince Paul Kafeero.

In a statement, Balaam revealed that Kafeero's remains were successfully exhumed for DNA sampling, marking a significant step toward resolving a dispute that has remained unresolved for over two decades.
According to the minister, the exercise was conducted by a team of pathologists led by Assistant Inspector General of Police Dr. Moses Byaruhanga in accordance with a court order and established forensic procedures.

Balaam said the DNA samples will now be analyzed by the Government Analytical Laboratory and the Uganda Police Forensic Laboratory to establish the facts through scientific evidence.
He described the development as a victory for truth, justice and family harmony, noting that the dispute has caused divisions among family members for many years.
The minister thanked the court, members of Kafeero's family, the forensic experts and the Uganda Police Force for their cooperation in making the process possible.

The results of the DNA analysis are expected to provide conclusive answers regarding the paternity claims and bring closure to one of the country's longest-running family disputes involving a prominent public figure.

The Uganda Police Force has called on thousands of pilgrims expected to attend this year's Martyrs Day celebrations to strictly follow Ebola prevention guidelines as authorities work to prevent the spread of the disease.
Security officials say they have intensified surveillance and enforcement measures at major gathering points, particularly at the Namugongo Catholic and Anglican shrines, where large crowds are expected for the annual commemoration.

Police have advised pilgrims to maintain high standards of personal hygiene, regularly wash their hands, use sanitizers where available, and immediately report anyone showing symptoms associated with Ebola, including fever, vomiting, bleeding, severe weakness and unexplained body pain.
Authorities have also warned the public against spreading unverified information about the disease, urging citizens to rely on updates from the Ministry of Health and other official government channels.

Security agencies, health workers and event organizers have been deployed to ensure that health protocols are observed throughout the celebrations. Screening teams are expected to be stationed at key entry points, while emergency response units will remain on standby.

Martyrs Day is one of Uganda's largest annual religious gatherings, attracting tens of thousands of pilgrims from across the country and neighboring nations. This year's celebrations are taking place amid heightened public health vigilance following recent concerns about Ebola outbreaks in parts of the region.

Police have appealed for cooperation from all pilgrims, emphasizing that individual responsibility will be crucial in ensuring a safe and successful commemoration.
