I want my son, Husband free -Makindye woman cries out to Resident City Commissioner

Alice Namuddu the wife of detained Charles Nsubuga a resident of Bunga in Makindye Division has appealed to the area Resident City Commissioner (RCC) Ibrahim Kagolola to intervene in the matter in which her husband was arrested and remanded by Nakawa Chief Magistrate Court.

On February, 18 , 2019.  Mr Nsubuga was detained at Luzira government prison over conspiracy to defeat justice case under c15103 of the penal code act.

It is alleged that Mr Nsubuga’s detention emanated after standing surety for his son Samuel Masagazi formerly an employee  of Mulagye Community Development Organization, who was arrested over criminal trespass in January, 2018.

According to Mrs Namuddu, her son Masagazi was summoned by the police for criminal trespass in January, 2018.

To my surprise, the police summoned him to help them in their investigations and later he was taken in by another police department and tortured. My husband intervened and my son was released to us all beaten up and almost unconscious,” she added.

In addition,Namuddu says immediately when her son returned home he started facing a lot of phone call threats from unscrupulous people who could call him especially at night citing they are to kill him if he didn’t give them what they wanted. Her son always told him it was about a friend of his, David.

Since then, Masagazi flee the country until now his whereabouts remain known by only a few.

She said after her son failing to appear at jinja rd police station  the police arrested her husband which altogether has worsened her life and lives in total agony because as a family they are struggling to make ends meet.

“I want my husband free. I don’t see any reason why until now he is still under torture,” Namuddu said while her eyes turning teary.

Speaking to Makindye RCC Kagolola, he promised to intervene in the matter to ensure that Mrs Namuddu and her family are granted justice.

PRESIDENT MUSEVENI URGES EUROPEAN INVESTORS TO TAP INTO UGANDA’S ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged European investors to take advantage of Uganda’s economic opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and agriculture, saying investment in productive sectors is key to expanding markets, creating jobs and accelerating economic transformation.    The President made the remarks today at State House Entebbe during a meeting with European Union Ambassadors and investors, where he highlighted Africa’s growing population and expanding market as a major opportunity for European businesses seeking investment and stronger economic partnerships. “This is what we have been advising our European friends to look at, because Africa is a big potential market with its fast-growing population,” he said. President Museveni attributed political instability in some African countries partly to identity-based politics, including tribalism, religious divisions and ideological misunderstandings, as well as a failure to appreciate the role of the private sector in driving economic growth. He said Uganda had learnt from these challenges and emphasised the need for a stable political and economic environment that enables private businesses to invest, expand production and create employment. The President welcomed ongoing and proposed European investments in Uganda, particularly in infrastructure and other productive sectors, saying such projects would strengthen economic links between Uganda and the European market. “All these projects are music to my ears. By constructing these projects here, you are linking the market of Uganda to that of Europe. Why can’t anyone see that?” he asked. On energy, President Museveni said the cost of electricity remained a critical factor in Uganda’s competitiveness, particularly for manufacturers seeking to produce goods at affordable prices. While welcoming private-sector investment in hydropower generation, he called for greater attention to electricity tariffs, arguing that affordable power was essential for industrial expansion and economic growth. He identified affordable electricity, railway transport and accessible financing for productive investments as key priorities for strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The President cited the Uganda Development Bank as an important source of financing for businesses engaged in productive activities, explaining that the government had retained the institution to support investments capable of expanding production and creating jobs. He also urged the European Investment Bank to channel more financing into strategic infrastructure, particularly railway development, electricity generation and distribution, and selected road projects. On road infrastructure, President Museveni encouraged European investors to explore opportunities in construction and financing models, including tolling arrangements where appropriate. The President also reaffirmed the government’s support for tax incentives aimed at attracting investment, particularly in manufacturing, and emphasised the importance of enabling eligible businesses to benefit from a 10-year tax holiday. ...
