"title": "Blogs: Why we should strengthen accounting controls and fina",
"body": "Automation only holds up when it is built on top of sound accounting principles, proper segregation of duties, and a defined chart of accounts\n\nOver the last decade, financial management across the world has changed at unprecedented rates and most the change has been on the accounting function. The first trigger of this change was mobile money, which set the rails of real time payments. Mobile money was followed by a wave of digital lending and banking products, which are currently serving different segments of the market. Each layer added transaction volume flowing into the general ledger, and each added a new source of variances between subledgers, bank statements and the books. As a professional in this field, I have spent a big part of my career working on this problem directly, rebuilding reconciliation and close processes that, at many institutions, had barely changed since the days of paper ledgers and manual trial balance reviews.\n\nIn my practice, I treat reconciliation as core accounting discipline rather than a back-office chore, pairing automated matching tools with clearly defined controls over how exceptions are identified, documented, and cleared.\n\nIn practice, that has meant shorter month end close cycles, fewer unexplained variances carried forward from period to period and financial statements that are ready for management review on schedule rather than a days of manually tying out bank statements, mobile money logs and internal ledgers.",

"title": "News: Older persons to get medical insurance -- minister Mbab",
"body": "The Government is to introduce a medical insurance policy for older persons, especially those in rural areas, Jacqueline Mbabazi, the Minister of State for Gender in charge of Older Person Affairs, has revealed.\n\n\"Older people need insurance because of the non-communicable diseases that affect them as they grow older,\" she stressed, adding that as people grow older, some of their relatives abandon them in villages and go to urban areas in search of economic opportunities.\n\nThe minister made the revelation during the Meeting for the Dissolution of the second National Council of the Older Persons at Skyz Hotel in Naguru, Kampala on July 8, 2026.\n\n\"You find old people in their homes without children. The children and grandchildren go to urban centres or abroad to look for jobs. You find an older woman or man alone in a home, but if they have medical insurance, maybe the neighbour will be able to take this older person to hospital. But the neighbour would not help if there is no money to pay the bill,\" Mbabazi said.\n\nCurrently, in Uganda, most insurance companies do not offer medical insurance cover beyond 60 years because of the increased risk of chronic illnesses associated with older persons.\n\nHowever, as the ageing population in Uganda increases, Uganda Insurance Regulatory Authority, the body that is mandated to regulate all insurance activities in Uganda, has been actively advocating for products tailored for the elderly.\n\nThe minister noted that there would be an engagement with stakeholders regarding the policy framework for the insurance programme for older persons.\n\n\"There is a need to see to it that round-table discussions are held with the Ministry of Health and other insurance stakeholders to develop medical insurance products that are friendly to older persons,\" she noted.\n\nProsper Muhumuza Byonanebye, the Commissioner for Disability and the Elderly in the Ministry of Gender, who is also the direct supervisor of the council for the elderly, said the medical insurance programme for senior citizens will be rolled out in collaboration with non-state actors and religious-based healthcare providers.\n\nByonanebye said through advocacy, the ministry has been able to attract insurance companies with packages that target the elderly.\n\n\"Insurance companies never used to target older people, but through our advocacy they have accepted to start targeting them.\"\n\nThe commissioner suggested that sh10,000 could be deducted from the Social Assistance Grant Empowerment (SAGE) to cater for each elderly person's medical insurance policy.\n\nThe SAGE fund is a grant that the Government extends to older persons above 80 years. This fund stands at 25,000 per senior citizen per month and is paid in lump sums of sh75,000 after every three months.\n\nHowever, starting this financial year, the Government announced that the age of beneficiaries would be lowered to 65 years, while the amount paid to each beneficiary per month would be increased to sh35,000.\n\nByonanebye said as the Government plans to have medical insurance for everyone, the ministry will engage relevant stakeholders to pilot medical insurance among older persons.\n\nThe meeting also saw the presentation of a report and recommendations of the national council of older persons' achievements from 2021-2026 by the chairperson of the council, Charles Mughayira Isabirye.\n\nIn the report, Isabirye presented to the minister different issues that bedevil the council, such as lack of quorum on the council, inadequate funding, delay of the Older Persons' Bill and other legal gaps that have gone unattended for years yet they remain critical to the council.",

"body": "The Government is preparing a package of economic support for more than 1,000 Ugandans repatriated from South Africa following recent xenophobic attacks, with officials planning to organise the returnees into enterprise groups before extending financial assistance.\n\nThe 1,030 Ugandans are undergoing a rehabilitation and ideological orientation programme at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi, where they are receiving training in patriotism, leadership, national identity and economic empowerment.\n\nSenior presidential advisor on political mobilisation Moses Byaruhanga said government intends to help the returnees restart their livelihoods through existing financing programmes after organising them according to their skills and viable economic activities.\n\n\"The government has money. Our biggest challenge has never been a lack of funds but poor organisation. Once these returnees organise themselves into productive groups, we shall support them,\" Byaruhanga said.\n\nHe said many of the returnees may not qualify for support under the Parish Development Model because of the programme's eligibility requirements, but alternative government financing mechanisms are available.\n\nAccording to State House Commissioner for the National Secretariat for Patriotism Corps Hellen Seku, the programme has brought together 1,030 Ugandans, including 438 men, 261 women and 331 children aged between birth and 16 years.",

"title": "State to assign lawyers to Besigye, High court rules - The Observer Media Ltd",
"body": "The High court has ruled that the treason trial of veteran opposition politician Dr Kizza Besigye and his co-accused will proceed regardless of whether they are represented by lawyers of their choice, directing that counsel be assigned to them under the State Brief scheme if necessary.\n\nJustice Emmanuel Baguma made the ruling after Besigye, who appeared alongside Hajj Obeid Lutale and Capt Denis Oola, objected to the hearing proceeding in the absence of their preferred lawyers.\n\nBesigye told the court he had been brought from Luzira Prison against his will and had declined to participate in the proceedings because he had been denied access to his lawyers of choice.\n\nThe trio is charged with treason over allegations that they plotted to overthrow the Ugandan government by soliciting funding, acquiring weapons and organising paramilitary activities through meetings allegedly held in Kampala, Nairobi, Geneva and Athens.\n\nAt the start of the proceedings, assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Thomas Jatiko informed the court that the prosecution was ready to proceed despite the absence of the defence team, noting that prosecution witnesses were already in court.\n\nBesigye argued that proceeding without his preferred lawyers, Erias Lukwago and Martha Karua, violated his constitutional right to a fair hearing.\n\nHe told the court that Lukwago had been tortured and images of his ordeal circulated on social media, while Karua had been deported to Kenya, leaving the accused without legal representation of their choice.\n\nWhen Justice Baguma asked whether anyone had expressly denied them that right, Besigye replied that the matter was already the subject of a pending application before the High court.\n\nHe further stated that although prison authorities had previously been directed to grant his lawyers access to Luzira Prison, they had never been allowed to jointly review the prosecution evidence with him.\n\nBesigye also informed the court that certified copies of proceedings in both the criminal case and a related application concerning legal representation had not been supplied despite earlier requests.\n\nHe attempted to raise concerns over recent remarks by President Yoweri Museveni, whom he said had publicly stated that Besigye was delaying his own justice by rejecting what the President described as \"community justice\" or indigenous justice mechanisms.\n\nJustice Baguma declined to entertain submissions on the President's remarks, ruling that they were not relevant to the proceedings before the court. Besigye also alleged that a letter he wrote from Luzira Prison on Friday outlining his concerns had not reached the court because it had been withheld by prison authorities.\n\nAssistant Superintendent of Prisons Emmanuel Hiire told the court he was unsure whether the letter had been cleared for delivery.\n\nCapt Oola also objected to the hearing proceeding, saying he had only been informed at about 9:00 am on Monday that the trial had been scheduled, leaving him with no opportunity to consult his lawyers.\n\nHe further complained that despite an earlier court order, he had never received a copy of a previous ruling and lacked adequate facilities in prison to study the prosecution's disclosure before trial.\n\nChief State Attorney Richard Birivumbuka opposed the objections, arguing that the accused had effectively waived their right to legal representation after informing the court that they had withdrawn instructions from their lawyers.\n\nHe urged the court to appoint counsel under the State Brief scheme, warning that further delays could prejudice the prosecution as witnesses might become unavailable or unwilling to testify.\n\nBirivumbuka also argued that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions was not a party to the separate application concerning legal representation and maintained that the High court remained constitutionally independent.\n\nIn his ruling, Justice Baguma acknowledged that the Constitution guarantees every accused person the right to a fair hearing and legal representation. However, he held that the pending application concerning legal representation could not halt the treason trial because it had not been assigned to his court.\n\nThe judge agreed that although disclosure had previously been conducted in the presence of defence lawyers, the accused themselves had not been furnished with copies of the prosecution evidence.\n\nHe directed the prosecution to immediately provide all disclosure materials to the accused before they were returned to prison.\n\nJustice Baguma also ordered the registrar of the Criminal Division to provide certified copies of the court proceedings by Tuesday, July 14, and directed prison authorities to comply with earlier court orders granting the accused adequate facilities to prepare their defence.\n\nHe further ordered that Capt Oola be provided with a copy of the earlier ruling that had not been availed to him. Justice Baguma directed the registrar to furnish the accused with a list of advocates under the State Brief scheme by Tuesday to enable them to select counsel.\n\nHe further ruled that if the accused declined to choose lawyers from the State Brief list, the registrar would appoint counsel on their behalf to ensure that the trial proceeds. The case was adjourned to Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 11:00 am.",

"title": "A decade of choosing each other: sacred love story of Kikomekos - The Observer Media Ltd",
"body": "Each year, hundreds of couples wed, cementing their love as husbands and wives.\n\nHowever, only a handful of marriages last beyond five years, with many ending in separation or divorce. For Robert and Milly Kikomeko, the story is different.\n\nTheir love journey began in the most unexpected place Club Galaxy at Equatorial Mall, a nightclub where chance brought them together, and something quietly extraordinary took root.\n\nWhat followed was never a fairy tale, but a love rooted in Christ. There were no perfect scripts or effortless chapters. Instead, theirs has been a story shaped over a decade of choosing each other, through moments of joy and seasons of loss, through compromise, growth, and an unwavering faith in what they were building together.\n\nIt is in those daily choices that their love has found its true meaning, making them an inspiration to many young families. The Kikomekos are a testament that love is not defined by where you meet, but by the commitment to stand with each other.\n\nOn July 16, the couple will celebrate ten years of marriage following their wedding at Kamwokya Church of God in 2016; a decade of choosing each other every single day.\n\n\"It was April 16, 2013, at a mutual friend's birthday party in a nightclub. Neither of us imagined we were about to meet the person we would spend the rest of our lives with. Looking back, we smile at how unexpectedly our story began,\" Milly recalls.\n\nAccording to her, Robert stood out immediately. He was unique and mature, appeared focused, impeccably dressed, and carried himself with quiet confidence.\n\n\"He also smelled really good. At the time, I was young, bubbly, full of life. I loved dancing and embraced every moment on the dance floor,\" she says.\n\nShe recalls that Robert walked over, offered to buy her a drink, and she happily said yes. What started as a casual conversation soon turned into hours of meaningful discussion. They discovered shared values, similar dreams, and a connection neither of them expected.\n\n\"Three years after completing university, we stood before God, our families, and friends and promised each other forever. Ten years later, we can confidently say that marriage has been our greatest blessing, but also one of our greatest teachers,\" she says.\n\nThe couple now has three biological children, as well as many foster and spiritual children.\n\nBUILDING A HAPPY AND HEALTHY MARRIAGE\n\n\"People often ask us the secret to a happy marriage. The truth is, there is no secret, only intentional choices made every day,\" Milly explains.\n\nShe says they have learned to communicate openly and honestly, even when conversations are difficult. This, she notes, has helped them resolve misunderstandings before they become deep wounds.\n\n\"Our marriage also thrives because we understand and embrace our God-given roles. Robert loves me sacrificially, and I willingly respect and support his leadership. Rather than competing, we complement one another,\" she says.\n\nServing God together has become the foundation of their marriage, and sharing the same purpose has united them beyond emotions and circumstances. The couple has also learned to understand each other's love languages, respect healthy boundaries, and intentionally keep romance alive.\n\n\"We still make time to laugh together, hold hands, embrace often, and prioritise each other's emotional needs,\" she says.\n\nEqually important, she adds, is creating space for themselves as husband and wife.\n\n\"Parenting is beautiful, but we have discovered the value of occasionally stepping away from the children to simply enjoy each other's company.\"\n\nTHE CHALLENGES THAT SHAPED THEM\n\nLike many intercultural marriages, theirs came with unique challenges. Robert is a Munyoro, while Milly is a Muganda two cultures with different traditions, expectations, and ways of life.\n\nIn the early years, these differences created tension. However, over time, they realised that marriage is not about proving whose culture is superior, but about learning, accommodating one another, and choosing compromise over pride.\n\n\"Another challenge has been establishing healthy boundaries with extended family. We are both naturally private people, and sometimes that privacy has been misunderstood as pride or neglect,\" she says.\n\nShe notes that in many African settings, setting boundaries is often interpreted as rejecting family or showing a lack of love.\n\n\"We have learned that healthy boundaries are not barriers against family; they are safeguards for marriage. We continue to navigate this journey with grace, love, and wisdom,\" she adds.\n\nWHAT ALMOST BROKE THEM\n\nThe greatest test of their marriage was grief. When Milly lost her mother, her world changed overnight. It was the first time she had lost a close family member, and she did not know how to process the pain.\n\nInstead of allowing people to comfort her, she built emotional walls. Her husband desperately wanted to help, but she kept shutting him out. He watched her suffer while feeling helpless.\n\n\"Those were painful days for both of us. Yet Robert never stopped showing up. He remained patient, compassionate, and present, even when I could not receive his love,\" she says.\n\nWith God's help, she eventually accepted her vulnerability and the need for support.\n\n\"The moment I allowed my husband into my pain, everything began to change. I started recognising his love, his consistency, and the strength of our partnership,\" she says.\n\nLooking back, she says the experience strengthened their marriage.\n\n\"We now understand that grief did not break us because we faced it together, it strengthened us.\"\n\nA MESSAGE TO YOUNG COUPLES\n\nMarriage, the Kikomekos say, is beautiful but requires effort.\n\n\"Healthy marriages are built by couples who are willing to invest time, patience, forgiveness, and intentional love into their relationship,\" Milly says.\n\nThey noted that marriage is sacred and works best when God is at the centre.\n\n\"We believe a husband is called to lovingly lead his family, while a wife stands beside him as a helper and partner. Together, they become a strong force through which God nurtures and strengthens future generations,\" she says.\n\nAs they celebrate ten years together, their greatest testimony is not perfection, but persistence.\n\n\"Our marriage is not perfect, but we have chosen each other through every season. And if we have learned anything over the past decade, it is this: love is not sustained by feelings alone. It is sustained by daily choices, God's grace, and two people who refuse to give up on each other,\" she said.",

"body": "MOGADISHU -- The United Nations (UN) relief agency has appealed for urgent assistance for hundreds of thousands of Somalis, particularly in the northern regions, who face escalating hardship amid severe drought conditions.\n\nIn its latest humanitarian report released on Sunday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that cumulative crises, including severe drought, flooding, dwindling aid, and protracted conflict, have systematically undermined the resilience of millions of Somali households.\n\nThe OCHA estimated that severe drought conditions have affected roughly 250,000 people, with coastal and remote communities hit the hardest.\n\n\"Authorities are appealing for urgent assistance, warning that hundreds of thousands of people are facing increasing hardship, including more than 570,000 people who require water assistance and 1.5 million that require food assistance,\" the OCHA said.\n\nThe OCHA said the Somalia Humanitarian Fund has stepped up support to the famine-risk Buurhakaba district in the Bay region, providing 4.7 million U.S. dollars, including a recent two-million-dollar reserve allocation.\n\nThe UN agency said that malnutrition is rising, with over 400,730 children experiencing acute malnutrition, including 97,150 severe and 303,580 moderate cases.\n\n\"Reproductive health services and emergency obstetric care remain severely limited, particularly for nomadic communities. Drought has also disrupted education, with more than 820 schools reportedly closed,\" the OCHA added.",

"body": "In the early 1990s, the world started to witness the dismantling of one of the most antediluvian official racist regimes ever assembled.\n\nNelson Mandela, leader of the African National Congress would be released from prison in 1990 after 27 years of inhumane confinement on Robben Island. A new South Africa was on the horizon. Mandela would win the country's first multiracial presidential election in 1994 after his ANC won a large majority of parliamentary seats.\n\nMandela and his ANC's victory marked the end of official apartheid in South Africa. Mandela mentioned from the beginning that he wasn't replacing official white racism with official black racism. He called the new South Africa, a rainbow nation.\n\nA country that embraced you regardless of the color of your skin. Unlike the majority of the so-called revolutionaries, Mandela ruled for one term. He ended up as one of the world's most revered statesmen and even became a celebrity!\n\nAt home, after the euphoria of the 1994 elections, many black South Africans realized that the end of apartheid didn't mean that they would move from their shebeens in the townships to white homes in leafy suburbs and take over white businesses and send the whites to wherever.\n\nSouth Africa wasn't Idi Amin's Uganda. They realized that the rainbow mantra meant co-existence. They rejected it but they were still a bit hopeful. The ANC understood the sentiment of many black people and created policies like black economic empowerment (BEE), which provided opportunities for blacks and other people of color.\n\nIf a white owned a business, they needed some black people in top management and on the board. Some black people also needed to own shares. Government tenders were reserved for business that embraced BEE.\n\nBut such opportunities were of course reserved for elite blacks; educated in Europe, America or even in the exclusive South African universities. The majority of the beneficiaries of BEE were ANC stalwarts and that is how they became billionaires and today's captains of industries.\n\nOthers became tenderprenuers (influencing government tenders). Apartheid had denied the majority of blacks quality education and other opportunities. They didn't have skills. The apartheid regime preferred to import professionals from elsewhere to work in black communities or do jobs the whites didn't want to do.\n\nThat is how Ugandan teachers and medical doctors ended up in South Africa in the 1980s. They settled there quickly and established themselves as hard working, set up private practices and generally built better lives than many of those they left at home.\n\nSouth Africa had (still does) world class universities and when they opened up the country in 1994, many people started attending school there. I would also end up at an elite South African university 10 years after Mandela had been elected for my graduate education.\n\nSouth Africa was and remains the continent's most sophisticated and largest economy. As economies of many African nations crumbled, South Africa's soared. Many Africans unable to be externalized to America or Europe for kyeyo saw it as the next perfect frontier and arrived in droves.\n\nMany had seen the doctors and teachers who had migrated earlier living better lives. Those who visited Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or Pretoria saw a modern country where they wished to work and live. South African TV soap operas Egoli, Generations and Isidingo created a desire that many people wanted to experience themselves.\n\nThose who had made it to South Africa arrived back in Kampala every December with fancy cars and threw white-dress themed parties. Another Bantu migration of sorts had to happen but this time to kuyiriba (hustle) including becoming Sangomas (fake traditional healers).\n\nIn South Africa, ANC riddled with corruption forgot to create jobs for the majority of blacks who were largely uneducated and unskilled. Populist politicians like Julius Malema saw an opportunity and fanned the flames that lead to today's xenophobic attacks against blacks from outside South Africa.\n\nHundreds have been evacuated back home in Uganda. They are now chilling in Kyankwanzi, ostensibly undergoing orientation. I am not sure what that means. But the xenophobic attacks should be wake up call for migrants as well as government of their home countries.\n\nPeople largely migrated to South Africa to find better opportunities for themselves. If we created jobs here, the majority wouldn't have left. There must be a deliberate way to encourage migrants to invest back home.\n\nNSSF should be pushing them for voluntary savings. Capital Markets Authority should be doing drives for collective investments. National Housing should be building houses they can buy.\n\nUganda Investment Authority should be making presentations on where to invest. It used to happen until when politicians hijacked platforms like the Uganda North American Association Convention.\n\nBuganda Kingdom is trying with its Buganda Bumu Convention but it is a drop in the ocean. If we refocused, people wouldn't be evacuated or even deported and returned home with nothing. And lastly an enabling environment that enables businesses to thrive.\n\ndjjuuko@gmail.com\n\nThe writer is a communication and visibility consultant.",

"body": "Four suspects have been arrested at a hotel in Lira city over allegations of dealing in counterfeit currency.\n\nThe suspects have been identified as Bashir Magambo, 55, a resident of California village in Kyankende sub-county, Kiryandongo district; David Epieu, 43, from Amuria district; Emmanuel Ebulu, 46, from Kapelebyong district; and Abdu Omuria, 40, a resident of Soroti City.\n\nThe joint operation was conducted by the Uganda Police Force and the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) at Agenda 501 Hotel in Lira City East Division.\n\nPolice said another individual who was initially among the group is now cooperating with investigators as an informant. A case of alleged possession of counterfeit currency has since been registered at Lira City East Division police station.\n\nNorth Kyoga Regional Police spokesperson Patrick Jimmy Okema said security officers recovered suspected counterfeit Shs 50,000 notes with a face value of Shs 3 million, together with chemicals and other materials believed to have been intended for the production of counterfeit currency.\n\nOkema said detectives documented the scene, recorded witness statements, recovered the suspected exhibits and detained the four suspects to facilitate ongoing investigations.\n\nHe added that the recovered notes and related materials would be submitted to the Bank of Uganda Currency Centre in Lira on Monday for forensic examination and analysis.\n\nThe latest arrests come just weeks after another intelligence-led operation in Ireda Shamba Cell, also in Lira City East Division, which led to the arrest of four suspects following the recovery of bundles of suspected counterfeit United States dollar notes with a face value of about $9 million (about Shs 33.75 billion).\n\nThat operation followed a tip-off that suspected counterfeit currency and related materials were being kept at the residence of an area businesswoman.\n\nAccording to police, the suspected counterfeit US dollar notes were recovered from a safe at the home of a suspect identified only as Sandra. Officers also recovered several motor vehicle logbooks and additional US dollar notes in various denominations during the search.",
