Ntare School headteacher arrested #NTVNews The Inspectorate of Government has arrested Ntare School headteacher Saul Rwampororo, his predecessor Jimmy Turyagyenda and former office typist Peace Kebirungi over an alleged UGX 110.9 million loss to the government and abuse of office. Kebirungi is also accused of using a forged university admission letter to secure study leave with pay before absconding from duty, while continuing to receive a government salary from September 2015 to August 2024. 📸: Cosline Nakahiira

DID YOU KNOW: The Constitutional Square (aka City Square), is home to over 20 tree species and a habitat to over 6 bird species. Deriving its name from being the site where the 1995 Constitution was promulgated, the Constitutional Square is a heritage site, recognized under the Museums and Monuments Act, 2023. It houses the 1945 war memorial and is a protected site since 2007. #KCCAatWork has routinely maintained this green space by planting grass and flowers to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Paved walkways to improve accessibility and ease of movement even for PWDs have been constructed and bins installed for proper waste management. Two FREE public toilets are in place and installation of more benches is ongoing #ForALivableCtiy.

UPDATE: REMOVAL OF ALL ENCROACHMENT ON URC LAND Greetings, Good people. We have arrived in Mityana District. We are here to continue the eviction and removal exercise. We started in Kyengera T/C (Wakiso District), went through Muduuma Sub-County (Mpigi District), and are currently in Ttamu Division, Mityana Municipality, Mityana District. So far, 21 villages have been cleared from the railway reserve. The next stop will be Kamwenge District. We therefore call on all occupants on URC land to remove ALL development and vacate.

These investors are extremely rude they lashed out at the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) officials who had gone to their factory, and one of them even decided to threaten them with a panga!

Kampala needs more open spaces (indeed, more parks and squares) rather than less. We don't lack sites for malls, hotels, and apartments. Kampala, especially the metropolitan areas, are basically virgin. The heart of the city needs to breathe, and City Square (I don't like the name Constitutional Square - another space should have been created to commemorate the 1995 Constitution) facilitates that much needed breath. Let's save the CITY SQUARE! CPM
