EARLY BIRD NEWS UPDATE @ 7AM WITH ORANGE UGANDA LUKWAGO RALLY: The Uganda Police have deployed in Kampala especially around Nakivubo Stadium to stop opposition politicians from holding a rally seen as a reaction to the report that faulted Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. In a Sunday letter, police advised the public to desist from taking part in today’s rally because organisers failed to fulfill pre-event requirements as per the Public Order Management Act 2013. Section 5 of the act states that, the Organizer of a public meeting shall give notice to the police in writing of the intention to hold a public meeting at least three days before the meeting. It further states under close 2 (b) that the organizers shall prove the consent of the owner of the venue where the proposed public meeting is intended to take place. Further, under close 2 (d) the organizer is supposed to clearly state the purpose of the meeting and the expected number of people to attend. These provisions have been glossily under mined by Hon. Nambooze. OTHER STORIES: RIP: Justice Amos Twinomujuni of the Supreme Court of Uganda who died last Friday aged 67 will be buried on Wednesday this week.
