Worshipers arrested for gathering to pray
A catechist and seven of his followers have been arrested by police in Dokolo district for allegedly gathering together for prayers.
 |
| The arrested persons found praying |
The catechist has been identified as Ivan Ongom who was leading prayers.
The operations commander of Dokolo central police station, Joel Arinaitwe said all the seven suspects were being charged with defying presidential directives under SD Ref. 34/09/06/2020.
Some other suspects included: Jonasio Ocwa 70, Rose Akao 40, Francis Otim 28, Vicky Angwech 32, Ketty Ajok 34 and Ambrose Angura 19.
pray
/preɪ/
Meaning:
- address a prayer to God or another deity.
- prayer
- /prɛː/noun
- a religious service, especially a regular one, at which people gather in order to pray together.
- a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or another deity.
Prayer is a communication to God/Allah/Bisaka/ or to any of the 5000 + gods so far invented by humanity. ... Prayer is done by those who trust the power of word and thought. Jesus taught people to say the Lord's Prayer. Prayer can be spoken, silent (no talking), or in a song. It can be used to praise God or to ask for something including help and forgiveness.
Questions to ponder about on a critical view:
Do prayers work
- Is there someone listening to them
- Is there someone to reply to them
- Is there someone to service them
- Cant people figure out solutions to those problems
- Cant people figure out solutions in case what is asked isnt a problem
- How often does a god answer our prayers
- Does god first have to listen to our prayers to answer them back
- To people who have never prayed in life, how do they solve their problems
- Cant a god get annoyed with us owing to the several requests we give to him/her etc.

Public transport resumes , total confusion, more challenges, new rules & lots of frustrations
 |
| Public taxi |
 |
| Sitting arrangement in buses |
Public transport and taxi service resumed Thursday in Uganda, nearly three months after they were halted to control the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. New restrictions and regulations, mainly on taxis, however, have left many Kampala residents without a ride.
 |
| A taxi stage in a Kampala city suburb |
Tempers grew short Thursday at a Kampala taxi park as drivers, passengers and security personnel dealt with the new restrictions.
More reading on this available here:
Some districts that borders other neighboring countries are still in the limbo, no public transport is allowed to operate, only private cars are being allowed to move. Kasese District where i come from is a victim of this. People who want to move to their villages cant move and can only do so with a request for person from the area Resident District Commissioner who is a representative of the President of Uganda in the area.
In pictures: Taxis a no show as public transport resumes
 |
| Kampala Main taxi park for mini buses |
All public transport taxis and buses taking the Kasese route end up in Rwimi. Its a disgrace as to why public transport cant be allowed to reach border districts since we are already living with Covid19 as we work.
There has been easing on the lockdown as most businesses are now open and operational as they also keep in place observance of Covid19 preventive measures and physical distance.

Booming firewood business after the floods
There is a booming logs business going on in Kasese areas where the floods caused havoc.
Some trees that were swept in the recent floods are selling like hot cakes among Kasese residents who use firewood for fuel and alsobrick makers are rushing for it in big crowds as the logs are needed to burn the bricks now that a wet season has almost ended.
At Kasese Humanist school, we secured our share on some tree logs that were caught up on the river banks of Nyamwamba and piled them at school.
When we reopen, we shall be assured of firewood to help in preparing the food.

School reopening extended till after 30 days
Today the President of Uganda addressed the nation in a televised speech he read to the general public aired on all TV sets and radios all over the country in regard to the Covid19 status, lockdown and enforcing or lifting some of the restrictions.
About reopening of schools for candidate classes as earlier on communicated, the President said this is not possible. I quote him in his own words as below.
“We have decided to postpone the re-opening of schools for candidate leaners for another one month as we prepare more and study the situation,” he said, adding that “two television sets per village equals to 140,000 TV sets” for the entire country.

https://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Schools--churches-bars-remain-closed-says-Museveni/688334-5569038-guvi72z/index.html
Its very unfortunate that the schools will have to wait but since its a preventive measure , we have deeper reasons to wait and utilise the current procedures like we are doing of home schooling, encouraging learners to use radios, televisons, study online to those who have access to computers and making good use of educational learning packages on sale in several outlets plus accessing educational pass PLE pullouts in local newspapers.
At Kasese Humanist School, we wish all the students in Uganda and worldover a pleasant, joyful moments and continue putting in place preventive measures against covid19 and other diseases in mind, feed well, learn, help out your parents and stay safe.
