KAMPALA — Amnesty commissioner Gganyana Miiro has said the Commission is negotiating with the World Bank for a grant of US$3.2m (about sh6b) to resettle 502 former rebels of Taban Amin’s West Nile Bank Front. Addressing the ex-rebels currently undergoing re-orientation training in West Nile on Tuesday, Miiro said funds allowing each ex-rebel would get a sh500,000 resettlement package, sh300,000 of which would be in kind.
US donates
KAMPALA – The US embassy yesterday donated 2,800 copies of legal books worth about sh19.8m to the Police as part of its assistance to revamp the force. Handing over the books, Allison Henry Plotts, the US foreign affairs officer in the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, said the books would help improve the quality of service delivery by the Police. Erasmus Twaruhukwa, the force’s legal officer, represented the Inspector General of Police.
Wives told
GULU — The state minister for security, who is also the area Woman MP, Betty Akech, has advised wives to guard their husbands jealously. Speaking during the district celebrations to mark the International Women’s Day on Monday, Akech said such behaviour would check the spread of immorality and HIV/ AIDS. She told co-wives that beating husbands was an option if such men cannot control their immoral behaviour.
