Policeman admits killing colleague, wife over infidelity
Counter Terrorism (CT) policeman Alex Adei, has reportedly confessed that he intentionally killed a colleague, constable Seezi Tusiime before he turned the trigger on his wife Barbra Apia Kongai. Adei went on a shooting rampage on Sunday night at Naguru police barracks over allegations of infidelity. He fled the scene with the killer rifle but was tracked and arrested by a joint security team from the Directorate of Crime Intelligence (DCI) and Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID).As the CID team and scene of crime officers documented the murder scene, they discovered a male’s body inside a nearby hut which was later discovered to be that of Tusiime. This raised questions about whether Tusiime was a mere victim of the circumstance or if he was targeted.“I did not mistakenly shoot Tusiime but I wanted him dead. I shot him first before I shot my wife. He is the person who misled my wife and she started behaving in a way that made us separate. They were cheating on me,” a detective quoted Adei. Luke Owoyesigyire, deputy Kampala metropolitan police spokesperson said Adei and Kongai were staying as a couple in Ntinda police barracks but following a misunderstanding, Kongai shifted to Naguru police barracks in a room allegedly rented by Tusiime. However, statements recorded by three police officers indicate that Tusiime and Kongai had been so close and that was the start of trouble with now turned murder suspect Adei. “Adei often warned Barbra to stop cheating on him and he would mention Tusiime in their quarrels. It was clear that he often suspected that the two were cheating on him,” a police constable has reportedly told investigators.Adei was arrested with his gun remaining with 12 bullets. {loadposition inarticle}

Tayebwa pledges parliamentary support for medical camps
Deputy speaker of parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, has pledged parliamentary support for future medical camps in Uganda. Tayebwa committed this during the week-long National Free Surgical Week closing ceremony in Ishaka district, Southwestern Uganda. The surgery camp, organized by the Association of Surgeons of Uganda (ASOU) in collaboration with Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIUTH), facilitated over 700 life-changing surgeries. The procedures addressed various health conditions, including hernias, cataracts, orthopaedic issues, goitres, hydroceles, fistulas, and tumours, as well as urological and gynaecological problems. Tayebwa expressed deep admiration for the medical teams, commending their dedication to providing free healthcare to disadvantaged Ugandans. He promised to advocate for parliamentary funding of at least Shs 200 million to support future camps, allowing more citizens to access free medical services. "We will support all medical camps to bring healthcare closer to the people. Parliament is committed to improving the healthcare of Ugandans," Tayebwa said. The camp served patients from five districts within the Ankole sub-region. One of the beneficiaries, Sam Ntumwa, expressed his gratitude, sharing, "I regained my eyesight after a successful cataract surgery." His experience highlights the transformative impact these medical camps can have on communities. KIUTH chief executive officer, Dr Omar Umi Bunu, affirmed the hospital’s commitment to continuing surgeries for patients who registered during the camp but couldn’t be treated within the initial seven-day period. “We will finish the task, ensuring everyone receives the care they need,” Dr Bunu stated. Dr Moses Galukande, president of ASOU, noted that the team looks forward to continuing these medical camps with the next one planned for West Nile in 2025, targeting districts such as Nebbi, Paidha, Arua, Adjumani, and Koboko. The National Free Surgical Week, a collaborative effort between ASOU, KIUTH, ministry of Health, and the parliament of Uganda, has a long history of improving healthcare access. The first camp was held in Apac district in 1997. Prior to the Ishaka camp, the last event took place in Bukedi sub-region, where 1,234 patients were examined, 734 of whom required surgery. A total of 568 surgeries were successfully performed. {loadposition inarticle}

Court finally orders Bunyoro king be airlifted for treatment in India
Hoima High court justice Jesse Byaruhanga has ruled that Bunyoro Kitara king Dr Solomon Gafabusa Agutamba Rukirabasiija Iguru be taken for specialized medical treatment in India. The ruling follows a 2014 application filed by prince Apolo Kisoro, the former Bunyoro minister for tourism and personal assistant to the king, seeking urgent medical care for the monarch. In his petition, Kisoro argued that the king’s health was deteriorating while those responsible for his care showed little concern. He said he had secured appointments with hospitals in New Delhi, India, and raised sufficient funds to cover the king’s medical expenses, travel, and attendants. On Thursday, the High court in Hoima ruled in favour of Kisoro’s application, ordering that King Iguru be taken for specialized medical treatment either in India or any hospital worldwide with top-tier medical facilities. The court affirmed that the king, like any other individual, is entitled to proper healthcare, regardless of his current condition. “This application has been in court for the last 10 years but I am happy with the ruling,” Kisoro said. Kisoro’s legal team, represented by Jotham Mugarura and Elias Tumwebaze, emphasized that the king had been unwell and required immediate medical attention, both domestically and abroad. They stressed that the king’s recovery would enable him to resume his official duties. Bunyoro’s prime minister, Andrew Byakutaga, acknowledged the court ruling, stating that the king’s family and legal team would manage the matter. He noted that King Iguru has already received treatment both within Uganda and overseas. Chief prince (Okwiri) Eng Fred Mugenyi Rucunya welcomed the ruling, noting that the king has been unable to perform his royal duties for nearly seven years due to illness. Escalating tensions The court case has highlighted underlying tensions within the Bunyoro kingdom. Conflicts have recently escalated between the ruling Babiito clan and prime minister Byakutaga. On September 2, 2024, the Babiito clan dismissed Byakutaga from his position and appointed an interim cabinet, adding to the kingdom’s administrative unrest. Yoasi Isingoma, a close friend of the king and witness in the case, stated that the decision to take the matter to court was prompted by delays in providing the king with the necessary medical care. {loadposition inarticle}
