Naava case hits snug
KAMPALA - The case in which the former presidential assistant on legal affairs, Naava Nabagesera, is accused of obtaining sh101m by false pretence flopped yesterday. The State Attorney, John Bosco Mudde, told Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate Margaret Tibulya that the key witnesses did not turn up. Nabagesera allegedly obtained the money from several people pretending that she would secure for them jobs in the UK in 2005. Moses Ssempebwa, Nabagesera’s co-accused, reportedly obtained sh47.9m.
Man to hang for killing boss

Man cries due to fine
NAMUTUMBA - Musa Tombi, 40, could not contain his tears when Grade Two magistrate Mesach Emwolu ordered Bogere Ojambo, who slept with his wife, to pay a fine of sh600 and the errant woman sh200. Ojambo had pleaded guilty to eloping with Kasifa Namusobya, who has two children with Tombi, a resident of Muwayo village. The two lovebirds, who were being detained at Kaiti Prison, were produced in court on Wednesday. Namusobya insisted Tombi never paid brideprice and that though they had two children, they were not married. Emwolu, however, found them guilty and asked them to pay the money.
Feeding plan launched
KAMPALA - Nutrition in the northeast should improve after three UN agencies and the Belgian government launched a food and nutrition project, worth $6.1m. Officials of the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organisation signed the agreement on Thursday at the Belgian embassy. The three-year project will run in Abim, Kaberamaido, and Kotido districts. It will also raise awareness on nutrition issues, family health and efforts to increase family income and food access. Keith McKenzie, a UNICEF official, said: “We remain committed to enabling these families secure their own nutrition needs particularly in the face of harsh climatic conditions.â€
