Bantariza killer to die
KAMPALA — Shadrack Rwakasisi Magara, 27, a Makerere University student will hang for the murder of Warren Bantariza, the Court of Appeal has upheld. Bantariza, 20, was the son of former Buhweju MP, Francis Bantariza. He was killed in 1994 at the Botanical Gardens, Entebbe where Magara ran over him with a car after poisoning him. Justices Galdino Okello, Stephen George Engwau and Amos Twinomujuni, said they found no merit in the appeal.
MPs reject exemptions
KAMPALA — MPs have asked the Ministry of Finance to stop blanket exemption of taxation for non-government and religious organizations. MPs on the finance committee said yesterday the Government’s tax base was still very narrow and needed to be strengthened. James Mwandha finance officials led by state minister Peter Kasenene that some NGO operators recover PAYE and NSSF monies and do not remit them to the Government.
500 ex-ADF return home
