Omedi’s Rabona: Sixth in Africa, third in the World
By Andrew Mwanguhya Denis Omedi’s rabona goal against KCCA finished sixth in Africa and third-best in the world. Strange. Right? Well, a few things could try to explain it. Voting for the Fifa Puskas Award was evenly split between fans and a panel of Fifa Legends, while the Caf Goal of the Year vote was determined 70 percent by fans and 30 percent by a technical panel of experts. What this suggests is that the team of experts, maybe, provided the checks and balances in the Puskas vote, while the Caf category was largely left to the fans, where patriotism and emotions often override the technical aspects.

High Court upholds aggravated trafficking charges against police officer
The International Crimes Division of the High Court has upheld charges of aggravated trafficking in persons against police officer Gilbert Arinaitwe Bwana. In his ruling, presiding Judge Andrew Bashaija found that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to proceed with the trial. The charges against Bwana arise from allegations that he trafficked a victim from Mbarara to Kampala in June 2023, under the pretense of offering her employment. The victim claims that Bwana coerced her into unprotected sexual intercourse at gunpoint and exploited her for sexual gratification. Judge Bashaija emphasized that Bwana’s status as a law enforcement officer and public official fulfills a crucial element of the offense. Furthermore, the judge noted that the victim’s testimony is corroborated by medical […] The post High Court upholds aggravated trafficking charges against police officer first appeared on 93.3 KFM.

Congo lawyers say Apple’s supply chain statement must be verified
BY REUTERS International lawyers for the Democratic Republic of Congo welcomed Apple’s AAPL.O decision to stop sourcing minerals from there due to worsening conflict, but said they would press ahead with their cases against the company in Europe. Criminal complaints were filed against Apple subsidiaries in France and Belgium this week on behalf of Congo, accusing the tech firm of using conflict minerals in its supply chain. Congo is a major source of tin, tantalum and tungsten, so-called 3T minerals used in computers and mobile phones. But some artisanal mines are run by armed groups involved in massacres, rapes and other crimes, say U.N. experts and rights groups. Apple said on Tuesday that it strongly disputes the claims and has […] The post Congo lawyers say Apple’s supply chain statement must be verified first appeared on 93.3 KFM.
