President Yoweri Museveni signs the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law at State House in Entebbe 

UGANDAN PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has justified his signing of the Anti-homosexuality Bill into law.

The President said homosexuals must be punished harshly in order to defend the society from disorientation.

“Since nurture is the main cause of homosexuality, then society can do something about it to discourage the trends. That is why I have agreed to sign the Bill,” Museveni said.



Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law Monday a controversial bill that will see homosexuals jailed for life, defying international pressure and criticism.
“The president has just signed the anti-homosexuality bill,” said presidential spokeswoman Sarah Kagingo, calling it a “landmark” law.

Museveni’s signing comes despite fierce criticism outside Uganda, with US President Barack Obama saying the law was a “step backward” that would complicate ties with Kampala and that he was “deeply disappointed” in the move

South African Nobel peace laureate Desmond Tutu said Sunday the law recalled sinister attempts by the Nazi and apartheid regimes to “legislate against love”.

The anti-gay bill cruised through parliament in December after its architects agreed to drop a death penalty clause, although the bill still says that repeat homosexuals should be jailed for life, outlaws the promotion of homosexuality and requires people to denounce gays.

Museveni, a key African ally of the United States and the European Union, has already been under fire from key Western donors over alleged rampant corruption, and had been under pressure from diplomats and rights groups to block the legislation.

“The president cannot be pushed by the international lobby groups… he has made it clear whatever he does will be in the interests of Uganda and not foreign interests,” presidential spokesman Tamale Mirundi told AFP.

“Uganda is a sovereign state and the decisions taken must be respected.”

The lawmaker behind the bill, David Bahati, praised the decision to sign it.

“This is the moment the world has been waiting for,” he told AFP.

“We thank our president for taking such a bold move despite pressure from a section of foreign organisations.

“The law is for the good of Uganda, the current and the future generations.”

Museveni, a devout evangelical Christian, earlier this month also signed into law anti-pornography and dress code legislation which outlaws “provocative” clothing, bans scantily clad performers from Ugandan television and closely monitors what individuals watch on the Internet.

Gay men and women in Uganda face frequent harassment and threats of violence, and rights activists have reported cases of lesbians being subjected to “corrective” rapes

Kenya To Host 2018 African Nations Championships (Chan).

A statement in CAF official website reveals that executive committee has settled for Kenya after receiving government guarantee from local body

Confederation of African Football (CAF) has designated Kenya as host of the 2018 African Nations Championships (Chan).

A statement in CAF official website, revealed that Caf executive committee had settled for Kenya after receiving government gurantee from Football Kenya Federation
The statement read in part, “The Caf Executive Committee has designated Kenya as host of the 2018 African Nations Championship (Chan), following receipt of necessary government guarantees and complete dossier including the required infrastructure and security.”

A Caf Special General meeting held on February 21, 2014, in Cairo, made the decision to award Kenya hosting rights for the tournament. President Sam Nyamweya termed the move as a milestone in Kenyan football.

“FKF wishes to tremendously thank the President of Caf, Issa Hayatou, and the entire Caf Executive Committee for bestowing us this honour, only a few days after our successful meeting in Capetown, South Africa, where we presented our bid.

“This is a big milestone in the growth journey of Kenyan football and we are extremely gratified and indeed honoured to have successfully bid for this great showpiece that gives the Kenyan people an opportunity to host the continent of Africa using the great game of football,” Nyamweya told Goal.

Nyamweya continued, “The real work begins now and we call upon all stakeholders and corporate partners to join hands with Kenyans and make the 2018 Chan tournament the best ever in the history of the event.

“A delegation from Caf will be visiting us to begin the process of setting up the administrative and logistical structures to implement the project and we look forward to Kenyans’ unwavering support to this process.

Museveni trolled again...

Moyes must GO!!

One of Churchill show’s best comedians, Eric Omondi is always up to something amusing. If he is not cross dressing, he is lathering himself with soap and posing in a towel or posing with people who are triple his size.

He recently met up with the voluptuous woman who plays the Momo in the hit song Ino Ni Momo by Murimi wa Ka half. For those who have not watched it you can watch it below

Size 8 releases a new Reggae hit "Yuko Nawewe"

Size 8 changed when she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and saviour and there has been no turning back. From doing enticing dance moves in upbeat songs to kicking devils as Jesus would -never mind the fact that Jesus was a pacifist. And she is back again like she never left. The lass who recently got married to top gospel DJ who goes by the name Mo is now back on a reggae tip.



The track as I mentioned earlier is reggae but that seems more of a plot twist of sorts as it starts off as if the track might be a neo-soul track then the tempo builds up and we take off on a celebration of the complete love of Jesus Christ.

The song is sung in Kiswahili and I think that is a very good move given it shows versatility -from flipping the script to flipping the lingua franca and doing a stellar job of it. Details on the song are still scanty but as soon as I find out who worked on the instrumentals and did the mastering and mixing I will share that information. For now, check the track out. I have had to embed it from Liz of Ghetto radio's soundcloud page as it's still not online:

Motorists to buy Sh2000 security number plates

Transport Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau (left) with samples of the new number blades that were made at Kamiti Maximum prisons when he toured the institution on February 24, 2014.

The cost of converting the plates will be Sh2,000 which is the current cost of buying a new pair.
The new-look number plates will be engraved with microchips containing the security features of the vehicles.
Those interested in having special number plates will be required to pay Sh1 million and Mr Kamau said the figure could even be more.

All vehicles will be expected to have new-look number plates which contain security features by the end of the year, the government has said.

Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau on Monday said the equipment to be used in the manufacturing of the new number plates is expected to arrive in the country by mid-next month.

“Production of the new-look number plates is expected to begin immediately the equipment for manufacturing them arrive from Germany by mid next month,” he said.

ENGRAVED WITH MICROCHIPS

The cost of converting the plates will be Sh2,000 which is the current cost of buying a new pair but this will come with an additional fitting for the windscreen.

“We do not have to increase the burden on our motorists and they will get enough time to make the adjustments,” the minister said.

The new-look number plates will be engraved with microchips containing the security features of the vehicles.

Those interested in having special number plates will be required to pay Sh1 million and Mr Kamau said the figure could even be more.

SECURITY FEATURES

Engines form part of the security details to be contained in the microchip and motorists who would want to change their car engines will have to make the same alterations with the registrar of vehicles who will in turn adjust the security features of the number plates to reflect the same.

This, the minister said, will help in tracking the vehicles. “It will be difficult for somebody to just interchange the number plates because police officers will be able to easily detect it,” he added.

He also warned rogue vehicle owners against using their vehicles as collateral when borrowing loans only to change registration and dodge repayment.

“It has been happening in the past but those are some of the things the security features will bring to an end,” he said.

NIGHT TRAVEL

“If decide to issue just a hundred such number plates and more people are interested then we shall be forced to go the auction way,” he said.

The government had approved the manufacturing of the new-look number plates in 2006 and Mr Kamau attributed government procedures to the delay.

Meanwhile, night travel could resume in the next few weeks with some three bus companies on the verge of being allowed to conduct the business.

Mr Kamau said the three companies, which he did not name, have formally applied for the license to ferry passengers at night and that the ministry is winding up their inspection of the companies’ fleets.

“Their buses already have a tracking system and we are still doing a few inspections before we can grant them the license,” he said.

YGB Turn On Octopizzo, Reveal Some Damaging Secrets! Beef Season Is Officially Open

When Octo first came onto the scene, he
had an entire army in back of him that he
would always shout out. That team was YGB.
On his first track "On Top", he kept
shouting them out and it gave you the sense
that we were witnessing what could very
well have been the beginning of Kenya's G-
Unit. then everything seemed to fall flat.
But today, YGB strolled into the Ghafla
offices to explain where they have been and
talk ab out how Octopizzo betrayed them.
And my oh my, this was quite an interview.
It was in a word, explosive! There were
shots fired all round. From Slumdeezy and
Virusi (YGB frontmen) were not trying to
take prisoners. Possibly, pain at what they
perceived to be betrayal was still raw.
What am I? A poet? These guys were taking
shots and trying to get at Octo's crown.
When word that they were in the office was
spread through twitter, Octo took shots at
them in return via tweets and what an
exchange it was! Watch the video below in
which they started by calling Octopizzo the
worst female rapper in the country then
claimed rather sensationally that they were
the people who ghost-wrote Octopizzo's
music:
