Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue.

Police to probe officers who shot at rioters

KAMPALA - Three Police officers who are accused of shooting at rioting traders last week at Kisekka market, will appear before a Police disciplinary committee.

Kampala Extra Police spokesman Simeo Nsubuga yesterday said the regional Police commander, Edward Ochom, had constituted a committee that would look into the matter this week. A team comprising of Ochom, Kampala resident district commissioner, Alice Muwanguzi and other Police officers will probe the incident. “The trio will be charged with disobeying lawful orders,” Nsubuga told journalists at the Central Police Station in Kampala. “The instructions were that no one should shoot until ordered to so do. But these people just released bullets.”

The riot became chaotic when Police officers shot at the traders, who then engaged them in running battles. Five people were injured. The traders were resisting the alleged lease of the market by Kampala City Council to Col. John Mugyenyi. The suspects, whose names could not be established, are held at the station.

Ochom, who disarmed one of the Policemen suspected of having shot, said: “It was wrong for them to shoot.” However, the Police spokesman, Gabriel Tibayungwa, said they would investigate more officers.“Several Policemen fired during the riots,” he told The New Vision by phone yesterday. “We shall issue a report when the team completes its work.” The Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, last week apologised for the excessive force used to quell the riot.
