Uganda: Midiwo Warns Uganda Against "Interference"

DEPUTY Minority Chief Whip, Jakoyo Midiwo, alleged a consignment of police uniform was intercepted at Busia border on its way to Kenya.
Speaking at Uhuru Park during the Saba Saba rally, Midiwo said that the police uniform had origins at Kampala and blamed Yoweri Museveni, the President of Uganda, for planning to send Ugandan police as reminiscent of 2007.
Midiwo piled the pressure on Museveni describing him as a dictator who should desist from interfering with the Kenyan democracy by sending in his police officers.
“A bus was this (Monday) morning was caught at Busia border carrying three bales of military uniforms, boots and berets,” said Midiwo.
According to a report by New Dominion Philanthropy Metrics, the carnage in 2007 was horrific with 1 500 dead, 3 000 innocent women raped, and 300 000 people left internally displaced.
Most of these atrocities happened in the first 14 days after the 2007 Kenyan general election.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy had earlier blamed Jubilee leaders for hiring youth and issuing them with t-shirts with CORD colors so that they could disrupt the Saba Saba rally.
However, according to CORD, the disruptions never happened and apart from an early incident between the police and the youth at Uhuru Park before the CORD leaders arrived, the rally was peaceful.

Do you own a second home in another state that would no longer be yours if you left the relationship? All of this stuff can tempt you to stay in the relationship even if you know it should be over. Is your happily-ever-after starting to look a little dim?    When is it time to move on? It's important to real...

How to lose weight

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese. In fact, the furor over obesity, which some have termed an “epidemic,” has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized, sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a crusade to control the dietary offerings in public schools. Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obese are still overweight, and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight. Shedding pounds largely comes down to the two-pronged factors of diet and exercise. Not modifying the first one enough, and not getting enough of the second one, ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight.  Conditions related to obesity include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Counseling someone to eat less and exercise more might be the simplest advice possible, but it’s also, partiall...
