The State House Anti-Corruption Unit has directed all members of the Bushenyi District Executive Committee to report to their offices without fail on Monday next week, signaling a significant escalation in ongoing investigations into alleged corruption within the district leadership. According to the directive, the move is part of a broader effort to ensure accountability and facilitate inquiries into claims of malpractice, particularly involving the illegal sale of government jobs. The committee under scrutiny includes District Chairman Jaffari Basajjabalaba, who is reportedly on the run following allegations linking him to the controversial scheme. Sources indicate that investigators are tightening their grip on the matter, seeking to question key officials and gather critical documentation that may shed light on how the alleged transactions were conducted. The absence of the district chairman has raised further concerns, with authorities intensifying efforts ...

Emotions ran high as Acholi team captain Okello Tito broke down in tears while making a public appeal for assistance for his teammate and “brother,” Onek Alfred, who is currently detained in India over serious drug-related charges. According to reports, Onek Alfred was arrested in December 2023 at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. Authorities allege that he was found in possession of approximately 1.1 kilograms of suspected cocaine. The Indian government subsequently charged him under the stringent Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, a law known for its tough stance on drug trafficking and possession. Under this legislation, if convicted, Onek could face severe penalties ranging from 10 to 20 years in prison, depending on the court’s findings and the classification of the substance involved. Speaking with visible distress, Okello Tito described Onek as not just a teammate but a brother, emphasizing his importance both on and o...

By dawn, Gulu City had spoken—not loudly, but firmly. His Worship Hon. Labeja Julius Gunya , popularly known as  Gunya , has officially clinched the Gulu City mayoral seat after one of the most closely watched and tension-filled elections the city has witnessed in recent years. This was not a casual victory. It was a defended one. From the first ballot cast, it became clear that the election would be decided as much by alertness as by numbers. Reports from various polling stations pointed to attempted electoral mischief, including alleged pre-ticked ballot papers and last-minute inducements aimed at boda boda riders on voting day. The message was simple: relax, and you lose. What changed the story was vigilance—relentless, organized, and loud enough to be felt. Gunya’s camp, backed by artists, media practitioners, and committed observers, maintained constant pressure throughout the day and deep into the tallying process. Cameras stayed on. Voices stayed raised. Every suspicious mov...

Word on the entertainment street is that Nays Official has upgraded his hydration habits—and it’s strictly Langi-flavoured . Ever since his breakout hit Pe Balo shook Northern Uganda ’s airwaves eight months ago, the man has been unstoppable, dropping hit after hit like a one-man jukebox. But his latest release, “ Nya Lango ” ft. Mr. Berry , has added a new layer of gossip to his growing legend—apparently, he now only drinks cold water served by Langi ladies in Gulu City . And no, that’s not a metaphor... or maybe it is. Mr. Berry The song itself is smooth, cheeky, and dangerously flirty—the kind of track that makes you want to laugh, love, and pour yourself something chilled. In Nya Lango , Nays calls on his muse to bring him cold water to drink, promising to sip it forever and never disappear like those unserious city boys who taste once and ghost. It’s the kind of line that sounds like a joke until you realise it’s poetry for the Northern heart . The man turned everyday hospita...

There was a time when Uganda’s political rings were loud with colour—two or three opposition warriors charging at one lone NRM bull. The chants were clear, the camps were known, and the lines were thick. Fast-forward to today’s scene, and the drama has gone inward. The fights now happen inside the big yellow house. The once-straightforward ballot battle—Opposition vs NRM—has quietly mutated into a house-divided match-up: the official NRM flag-bearer, The new “crossers” hunting favour under the ruling umbrella, and the transition dreamers linked to the Patriotic League of Uganda, the First Son’s civic-turned-political mission. What we’re seeing is not politics dying—it’s politics relocating. The real war is no longer across party lines; it’s within the establishment’s bloodstream. Power is testing loyalty, and loyalty is testing patience. While the opposition snoozes or surrenders its stars to ruling-side offers, the field is now crowded with cousins fighting for...

Cardi B, the rap queen who’s never shy of shaking the timeline, has officially ditched Offset and dived into a new saga with NFL star Stefon Diggs — a man reportedly juggling two other pregnant girlfriends. The Offset Era Is Officially Over After years of chaos, cheating scandals, and public makeup sessions that felt more like movie scenes, Cardi finally said “enough.” She filed for divorce from Offset back in July 2024 — and though the papers are still being processed, the separation is real and loud. Offset even dropped subtle heartbreak bars about her in his new tracks, confirming what fans already suspected: the chapter of “Clout Couple” is closed for good. New Man, New Baby, New Drama Cardi didn’t stay single for long. By mid-2025, she was spotted cozying up with NFL player Stefon Diggs, known for his flashy plays both on the field and, apparently, off it too. The rapper later confirmed she’s pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs....

When you talk about Northern Uganda’s finest on the mic, one name commands respect like no other — Kash Owakabi. A certified East African legend, comedian, and events king, Kash has taken his craft from Gulu to Kigali, and from Kampala to Kenya, proving that northern talent can shine anywhere. Just this mid-October, the man himself lit up a major show in Rwanda, leaving fans in stitches, before headlining several gigs across Kampala.  The North’s finest didn’t just perform — he raised the bar for every upcoming emcee dreaming of the spotlight. But while Kash continues to make East African rounds, one of his protégés, Mc Young Moni, has found himself trending for all the wrong reasons. Word hit the streets of Gulu City that the young hype master was spotted defacing campaign posters of NUP’s Bobi Wine and singer Liama ahead of the presidential campaign trail. A reckless move that quickly sparked debate across social media and sent shockwaves through the enter...
