Falling Kenya shilling forces Ugandans to shop across border ahead of Christmas
By David Awori Hundreds of Ugandans are currently crossing the Busia border into Kenya to buy cheap goods, especially textiles, ahead of Christmas. Mr David Basalirwa, a trader and resident of Bugiri District, says he prefers to buy textiles from Kenya because they are cheap compared to buying them in Iganga District and other Ugandan towns. “I buy many clothes in Kenya with KShs1,000 (about Shs24,000), yet with the same money in Uganda, I will only buy one cloth,” Mr Basalirwa said on Tuesday, adding that because the clothes in Kenya are cheap, he is able to get good profit after selling in Uganda. The latest development is in sharp contrast to the past, where Kenyans instead flocked to Uganda in droves […]

Biden takes off gloves in Trump election battle
By AFP Joe Biden has taken off the gloves in his 2024 election fight, directly confronting likely opponent Donald Trump as a threat to democracy after months of shadow boxing. The 81-year-old US president said Wednesday that Trump had “certainly supported an insurrection” after Colorado’s top court knocked his rival off the state’s primary ballot, in a rare comment on the Republican’s legal woes. Until recently, Biden would only call Trump “the other guy” or make the sign of the cross when discussing him, as the veteran Democrat tried to focus on his own economic policies. “He’s like Voldemort now: His name shall not be mentioned,” talk show host Conan O’Brien joked in a recent interview with Biden, comparing Trump […]
