April 20, 2021 Newly elected NRM MPs at Kyankwanzi
The UPDF Act under section 164 prohibits unauthorised sale or wearing of military uniforms with a penalty of seven years imprisonment on conviction by a court.
Exceptions are given to persons with authority from the force, among others. The media’s coverage of the ongoing NRM retreat for its newly-elected members of parliament at the National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi showed a photo of Honourable Jacob Oulanyah in a full military uniform. It was further reported that initially MPs could not recognise Oulanyah since he was clad in full military fatigue.
It must be remembered that at the ‘height’ of the People Power movement, the government went ahead and gazetted certain uniforms and other wears, including the red beret, as an official military attire while promising jail sentences for civilians caught wearing the same without authority from the UPDF (there is already a court challenge).

Mujib Should Be Given A Chance To Lead Fufa
By Abbey Semuwemba
Ramandhan Kareem everyone!
It has come to my knowledge that Brother Mujib Kasule intends to challenge incumbent FUFA president and MP elect Moses Magogo for the top job in Uganda’s football. Believe me when I say that you ve found your guy. ‘Jiba’, as we used to call him at Kibuli S.S, is football crazy - he loves the game, he lives the game, and dreams the game, such that I wasn’t surprised to learn that he now owns a football club in Uganda. He has a strong desire to leave a positive legacy on football. He has taught himself to connect up ideas in every sphere of football.

Summary
It is quite frankly unsettling that players with barely diminished genius (Denis Onyango and Mike Azira to mention but two) are opting to walk away weeks before the start of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.

The retirements column for Uganda Cranes players has of recent had more moving parts than an orchestra. As the difficult realities of the Cranes’ 30-something veterans throwing in the towel continue to intrude, a strain of hopelessness has co-resided with ridicule.
