"IF I SEE A POTHOLE AFTER WE HAVE PAID FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A ROAD, THAT CONTRACTOR WILL PAY WITH HIS HEAD." - MUHOOZI

Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has sparked debate after issuing a strong warning to contractors accused of delivering poor-quality roads despite receiving public funds.

Speaking on road construction standards, he said contractors responsible for pothole-ridden roads would be held accountable, drawing widespread reactions online.

While some praised the remarks as a tough stance against corruption and substandard work, others questioned the language used and the implications of such statements.

One thing most people seem to agree on: taxpayers deserve roads that match the money spent on them.

APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS ABDULRAHMAN-LED PDP CARETAKER COMMITTEE, DISMISSES TURAKI GROUP'S APPEAL

Image
In a significant legal victory for the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by the Turaki Group challenging the judgment of the Federal High Court (FHC), Ibadan, which recognized the Abdulrahman-led PDP Caretaker Committee. The appellate court upheld the earlier decision of the Federal High Court, which had, in January this year, declined to recognize the executive produced by the Turaki Group’s Ibadan convention and instead affirmed the legitimacy of the Abdulrahman-led Caretaker Committee. The caretaker committee had supervised the PDP National Convention that produced the current members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC). Delivering its judgment, the Court of Appeal held that the appeal had become merely academic and failed to present any live issue warranting judicial intervention, thereby dismissing the case in its entirety. The ruling effectively reinforces the l...
