Kivejinja files
KAMPALA-Third Deputy Prime Minister Ali Kirunda Kivejinja has filed a notice of appeal against a High Court judgment that nullified his election as Bugweri County MP. In the notice of appeal he filed in the Court of Appeal on November 1, Kivejinja says he was dissatisfied with the High Court judgment. Kivejinja's election was nullified on grounds that the polls were marred by intimidation and bribery. His lawyer, Didas, Nkurunziza, has requested for a typed copy of the proceeding to prepare for the appeal.
Kibwetere
KANUNGU -Residents have stolen property belonging to Joseph Kibwetere’s Church for the restoration for the Ten Commandment of God. A local councillor on Saturday said some people stole iron sheets from the gazetted church. The compound was abandoned in 2000 after its leaders, Joseph Kibwetere, Cledonia Mwerinde and Dominic Kataribabo, disappeared when over 1,000 believers were burnt in their church.
New chief
KAMPALA-President Yoweri Museveni has appointed Brig. Peter Kerim as the UPDF Fourth Division military court martial chairman. Kerim has been the intelligence coordinator for Congo and Uganda. Lt. Col. Matthias Ssewankambo was also appointed as the Fifth Division court martial chairman. The two officers replace Lt. Col. John Byuma and Col. Lucky Kidega. The UPDF northern- based army spokesman, Lt. Chris Magezi, yesterday said the appointments would make the court more efficient.
