President Museveni has cautioned Members of Parliament (MPs) against pursuing unrealistic agro-economic business ventures in their respective areas. His comments came in response to suggestions that supported various agricultural interventions in contrast to his proposed 4-acre model.

Anti-graft protests: Activists seek dismissal of charges
Three civil society activists, Denis Pato, Abigail Kalenda, and Ruth Nalunkuma, have asked the City Hall Court to dismiss charges of unlawful assembly brought against them following their arrest during anti-corruption protests in Kampala last month.
