Shortage of water persists
wakiso
Water shortage has persisted in parts of Wakiso district despite the rectification of the problem that had led to the cut off of supply to several areas. Water taps in areas of Kireka, along Namugongo Road, were by yesterday still dry. But Kampala Water spokesperson Gloria Nakibuuka said the problem had been rectified. “The pressure is still low. It takes some time for the pressure to build up and supply to normalise.” She assured residents ‘of a steady water supply soon’. The water shortage that began on Sunday, hit many parts of Kampala and Wakiso following the rupture of the main transmission line from Ggaba water plant.

Gays not after Orombi’s head
Kampala
Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi yesterday clarified that he did not say gays were planning to kill him or that he fears for his life over his campaign against the practice. This followed reports that the bishop had told Christians at Kitunga in Ntungamo district that he feared for his life over his anti-gay stance. Orombi noted that gays were not only in the church, but were a big movement and some of them were drug addicts, who could kill anybody.
