ENTEBBE MURDER!
A couple which had just retired from kyeyo after over 30yrs in Zurich Switzerland was murdered at their retirement home in Entebbe.

David Mutaaga and his wife Deborah Mutaaga-Nabeeta (in pic) were both found dead lying in pools of blood.

According to preliminary reports provided by the area police OC, David and his wife Deborah were murdered by stabbing at around 21:00hrs on Sunday night.

David’s body was found at the gate area while his wife Deborah’s body was in the bathroom.

There seem to have been a scuffle between David & the murderer from inside the house up to the gate where his body was found.

It is said, his wife reached out to some people by phone regarding the attack while she was still alive after sustaining wounds and informed them about the ongoing attack. That was probably when David was chasing to get hold of the attacker.

Her body was also found lifeless in the bedroom due injuries caused by the stabbing.

There is no indication of forced entry at the crime scene(the home has a perimeter wall and the security cameras) which were not tampered with at all. The gate is remote controlled. All doors were intact inplying that the killer had a smooth access to the premises using keys or was already inside the house.

The victims had hosted a couple of guests during the day and they reportedly had two casual laborers to help them prepare for the guests during the day who had also left for homes in the evening. They were only two in the house by the time of the attack.

Police is going to retrieve videos from their home CCTV to ascertain the truth about all this. The two bodies were taken to the City mortuary for postmortem.

Edited:

I have tentatively received some clarification that the killer is suspected to have entered the yard by climbing the perimeter fence using an electric pole near the fence. He found David sitting in the sitting room sipping on his favorite drink, then told him ”Am here to kill you” and stabbed him in the foot first, when David made alarm his wife who was upstairs heard and peeped to see what was happening, she saw the killer and started calling relatives and friend to inform them how they have been attacked, the killer reportedly took David with him to the gate with a knife at his neck and ordered him to open the gate using the code, after opening, he stabbed him in the heart killing him instantly. He then went back to the house walked upstairs broke into the bedroom and stabbed the wife right in the heart and killed her, the wife who seeking for help was talking to someone by the time the thug broke in, her phone dropped but the call was still active and therefore the person on the other end heard everything the killer said. He also told her ”Iam here to kill you” then walked majestically out of the gate and went on foot after killing both. CCTV captured all the incident. He didnt take anything, not even their phones on money.

The friends and relatives had called police which came just a few minutes after the killer had left. The couple was living alone in the house.

Renowned and award-winning Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o has passed away.

The family confirmed that he died Wednesday morning in the US at the age of 87.

His daughter Wanjiku wa Ngũgĩ wrote on Facebook: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dad, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o this Wednesday morning, 28th May 2025. He lived a full life, fought a good fight. As was his last wish, let's celebrate his life and his work. Rîa ratha na rîa thŭa. Tŭrî aira!"

She added that the family spokesperson Nducu Wa Ngugi will announce details of his celebration of life soon.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o was born on January 5, 1938, in Kamiriithu near Limuru in Kiambu County. He has been hailed as a prolific writer, academic, and political thinker.

His literary works, including ‘Weep Not, Child’ (1964), ‘The River Between’ (1965), ‘A Grain of Wheat’ (1967), ‘Petals of Blood’ (1977), and ‘Wizard of the Crow’ (2006), are celebrated for their profound exploration of Kenya's colonial and post-colonial experiences.

In 1977, his politically charged play ‘Ngaahika Ndeenda’ (I Will Marry When I Want), co-authored with Ngũgĩ wa Mirii, led to his detention without trial by the Kenyan government.

During his imprisonment, he wrote ‘Devil on the Cross’ on toilet paper, marking his first novel penned in Gikuyu.

Following his release, Ngũgĩ went into exile, eventually settling in the United States. He served as a Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Irvine. His academic and literary work continued to focus on themes of language, identity, and decolonization.

Ngũgĩ’s final published work before his death was ‘Decolonizing Language and Other Revolutionary Ideas,’ a collection of essays and poems released this year. This compilation spanned nearly two decades of his reflections on language, education, and influential figures like Nelson Mandela and Chinua Achebe.

In this work, Ngũgĩ continued his lifelong advocacy for linguistic and cultural decolonization, emphasizing the empowering nature of knowing one's mother tongue alongside other languages.

His last major fictional work was ‘Kenda Muiyuru’ (The Perfect Nine), a Gikuyu epic that was longlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o is survived by his children and grandchildren, many of whom have followed in his footsteps as writers, academics, and activists.

DPP Jane Frances Abodo filed the appeal May 5, challenging Justice Lawrence Gidudu’s April 30 ruling that cleared Oscar B. Baitwa and Geoffrey Bihamaiso. The DPP contends the judgment was flawed and that overwhelming circumstantial evidence pointed to the directors’ involvement.
According to the DPP, the trial judge erred in concluding there was no proof the accused participated in or knew about the fraud, despite the stolen funds being deposited into accounts they solely controlled.
In his ruling, Gidudu acknowledged the money was stolen and deposited into Threeways Shipping’s accounts. However, he stated there was no direct evidence linking the directors to the scheme. This decision has drawn criticism from legal observers and financial watchdogs, who labeled it contradictory and damaging to public trust.

KAMPALA, Uganda — The Director of Public Prosecutions has appealed the acquittal of two directors of Threeways Shipping Services Ltd. in a case involving the theft of more than $3.8 million from MTN Uganda. DPP Jane Frances Abodo filed the appeal May 5, challenging Justice Lawrence Gidudu’s Apri...

The directors, Geoffrey Bihamaiso and Oscar Baitwa, faced charges of theft and conspiracy to defraud following the submission of 125 fake invoices between 2009 and 2012. Prosecutors argued that the fraudulent invoices resulted in substantial payments made by MTN Uganda to the ThreeWays account, which was controlled exclusively by the two men.

The case, which has dragged on since 2016, involved six suspects, including insiders from both MTN Uganda and ThreeWays Shipping. However, only the two directors remained on trial by 2024, after plea bargains, death, and dismissals reduced the list of accused.

KAMPALA: In a ruling that has sent shockwaves through Uganda’s corporate and legal circles, the High Court’s Anti-Corruption Division on April.30, 2025, acquitted two directors of ThreeWays Shipping Company who were accused of masterminding a $3.8 million fraud against MTN Uganda.

Rajiv's Death: Ministry of Works under fire over deadly roadblocks on Express Highway.
======
The Ministry of Works and Transport has come under intense scrutiny following the tragic death of Rajiv Ruparelia, the son of renowned Ugandan businessman Sudhir Ruparelia.

The fatal accident, which took place early on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Busabala Flyover traffic lights in Wakiso District, has sparked widespread criticism over the dangerous placement of road construction barriers.

These barriers, erected by contractors working in the area, were not accompanied by proper warning signs, contributing to the crash.

Rajiv, who was driving a Nissan GTR (registration number UAT 638L), was heading from Kajjansi towards Munyonyo when he reportedly lost control of the vehicle after colliding with one of the concrete barriers at the flyover junction.

The vehicle overturned and caught fire, resulting in Rajiv’s death.

Police have confirmed that there was no chance of survival following the crash, with his body being charred beyond recognition.

Local residents who witnessed the aftermath of the crash have expressed outrage over the poorly marked road construction site.

Many are blaming the Ministry of Works for failing to ensure the safety of motorists.

One resident voiced their frustration, stating, “This is an express highway; how can you place barriers on such a road without any warning to the drivers?”

Another resident, Yasin Kyazze, pointed out that the underpass, where the barriers were placed, lacked proper lighting, making it even more dangerous for drivers, especially those travelling at high speeds.

“If you approach at a high speed, you have no chance of stopping,” Kyazze added, highlighting the frequent accidents at this junction.
