Mao defends Court Martial’s ruling in Besigye lawyer case
The Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Mr Norbert Mao has supported the Court Martial’s decision to detain Eron Kiiza, Dr. Kizza Besigye’s lawyer. In a Wednesday interview with KFM, Mao explained that while contempt of court isn’t always clearly defined, it falls under the discretion of the presiding officer. “The law of contempt is about ensuring order. I think in the light of what happened in the General Court Martial regarding Kiiza Eron, the Constitutional Court and probably the Supreme Court will have to make a pronouncement so that sentences are not seen to be excessive,” Mr Mao said. Mao stated that the purpose of contempt law is to maintain order within court premises and during proceedings.

Boost UNBS to help SMEs, says NPA
The National Planning Authority (NPA) has recommended increased investment in the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) to strengthen its staff and improve its equipment, thereby supporting the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Joseph Muvawala, the NPA Executive Director, emphasized that UNBS should prioritize helping SMEs meet standards, rather than shutting them down, as these businesses are key to job creation. “We have assessed that there is a capacity issue in UNBS and it is critical to invest in the equipment and in the human resource, but most importantly, they must also invest in their process systems internally,” he said. Muvawala highlighted that empowering SMEs to achieve compliance with standards is crucial for economic growth and employment. The post Boost UNBS to help SMEs, says NPA first appeared on 93.3 KFM.
