President Museveni has congratulated his Tanzanian counterpart, Hassan Samia Suluhu, upon her re-election, noting that her victory was a reflection of the confidence Tanzanians have in her leadership.

Ms Suluhu was declared on Saturday the landslide winner of an election that set off deadly protests across the country over the exclusion of her main challengers.

‘I congratulate Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) Party on her re-election as President of Tanzania. This victory reflects the confidence that the people of Tanzania have in her leadership and vision. Uganda and Tanzania share historic bonds of friendship and cooperation. I look forward to working with President Samia to further strengthen our partnership in trade, infrastructure, and regional integration for the peace and prosperity of our peoples,’ President Museveni said in a Monday statement on X.

Tanzania’s electoral commission said Suluhu, who took power in 2021 after the death in office of her predecessor, John Pombe Magufuli, received more than 31.9 million votes, or 97.66% of the total, handing her a five-year term.

The main opposition party CHADEMA, which was barred from the election for refusing to sign a code of conduct and whose leader Tundu Lissu was arrested for treason in April, said late on Saturday that the results were “completely fabricated”.

It added, “CHADEMA strongly rejects the so-called election results announced by the National Electoral Commission. These results have no basis in reality, as the truth is that no genuine election took place in Tanzania,” it said on X.

“The countrywide demonstrations are clear proof that citizens did not take part in what is being called an election, and that they reject anyone emerging from this flawed electoral process,” the party added in the statement on its account.

Protests erupted during Wednesday’s vote for president and parliament, with some demonstrators tearing down banners of Hassan and setting fire to government buildings and police firing tear gas and gunshots, according to witnesses.

Demonstrators are angry about the electoral commission’s exclusion of Suluhu’s two biggest challengers from the race and what human rights groups have said are widespread arrests and abductions of opponents.

In a speech from the administrative capital Dodoma after being certified as the winner, Hassan said the actions of the protesters were “neither responsible nor patriotic”.

“When it comes to the security of Tanzania, there is no debate – we must use all available security avenues to ensure the country remains safe,” she said.

Hassan, 65, won praise after taking office in 2021 from Magufuli for easing government repression but has more recently faced criticism from opposition parties and activists after a series of arrests and alleged abductions of opponents.

Last year, she said she had ordered an investigation into reports of abductions, but no official findings have been released.

During the campaign, she touted accomplishments expanding road and railway networks and increasing power generation capacity.

Presidential candidate Mubarak Munyagwa has pledged to expel all foreigners engaged in non-professional activities in Uganda within 48 hours if elected in the January 15, 2026 General Election.

Addressing supporters in Rukungiri District on November 2, Munyagwa, of the Common Man’s Party, said foreign nationals, particularly Chinese and Indians, are occupying small businesses that should be run by Ugandans.

‘When you reach Kampala, you find Chinese and Indians who came as investors dealing in small businesses that are supposed to be done by your sons and daughters. What you need to do is vote me in the office of president and you will see what will happen to them,’ Munyagwa said.

He added: ‘The so-called investors are not only dealing in small businesses but they are also working as security guards. Others are busy selling pancakes and yellow bananas and the government is just seated. So my government will not tolerate such nonsense.’

The presidential hopeful also promised to secure the release of opposition strongman Dr Kizza Besigye, a prominent opposition figure and Rukungiri native, once in office.

‘I started the struggle of liberating our country Uganda from the hands of corrupt and incompetent leadership of Museveni and his people with your son Dr Besigye. So I can’t forget him, I promise you that I will do whatever it takes to free the son of the soil because he is the father of opposition in Uganda,’ he said.

Munyagwa further pledged to restore equality and ensure all Ugandans have access to national resources.

‘My leadership will work for all, that’s why I choose ‘Orusania’ as my symbol so every Ugandan will be worked on and treated equally without favor, color or tribe,’ he said.

Key priorities outlined by Munyagwa include equitable distribution of resources, increased civil servant salaries, agricultural transformation, and improved market networks.

‘For every country to develop, there should be equal distribution of resources. What is killing our country is the absence of equality where a few are holding national resources that would have contributed to the development of our country Uganda,’ he said.

Residents at the rallies expressed strong support for Munyagwa. Dickson Nuwamumpa, a businessman, said: ‘He has a good manifesto because he promised to create a market for our local products which I think will contribute a lot towards the development of our families.’

Mubaraka Byamukama said: ‘I vote him because he has promised us to fight for the release of our son Dr Kizza Besigye. I will not only vote for him because of that but also for fronting equality.’

Denis Natukunda added: ‘In him I see a good visionary leader who leads us in a peaceful and developmental way. So that’s why I will vote for him as my president.’

Munyagwa is among seven candidates officially nominated by the Electoral Commission to challenge President Museveni, who has ruled Uganda for nearly 40 years.

Ntungamo District leaders have launched an investigation into a troubling incident at Kajumbajumba Primary School in Kyafoora Parish, Rugarama North Sub-county, where health workers mistakenly administered the wrong drug to over 100 pupils during a deworming exercise.

The incident that left many pupils unconscious, caused widespread panic, with at least 44 pupils hospitalised across various health facilities, sparking fear and anxiety among the public.

‘Following the Integrated Child Health Days (ICDHs), the vaccination team on Friday went to the school and used phenobarbitone instead of mabendazole. Over 100 are unconscious and admitted in various clinics and facilities,’ said Dr Amon Bahati, the district health officer.

He added, ‘We need urgent help to evacuate children for further management.

The wrong use of drugs was due to the out-of-stock of Mebendazole, and the team mistakenly picked phenobarbitone tin instead of Albendazole tin. Out of the 2000 children dewormed, 100 need attention.’ Across Uganda, health workers are currently implementing Integrated Child Health Days (ICHDs), during which children under 12 receive various vaccines and deworming tablets.

Albendazole, the intended medication, is a prescription antiparasitic used to treat a range of intestinal and tissue-based worm infections. After the drug was administered at Kajumbajumba Primary School, pupils began falling ill. In response, Dr Bahati shared a message on the district health workers’ WhatsApp group, which later circulated publicly.

The message clarified that phenobarbitone, a drug typically used to calm individuals with violent or mental health conditions, had been administered instead of Albendazole. Phenobarbitone (also known as phenobarbital) is a long-acting barbiturate primarily used as an anticonvulsant to treat epilepsy. It can also serve as a short-term sedative to relieve anxiety or induce drowsiness.

‘The vaccination team went to the school (Kajumbajumba) and used phenobarbitone instead of Albendazole. Over 100 are unconscious and admitted to various clinics and facilities. The wrong use of the drug was due to the out-of-stock for Albendazole and the team mistakenly picked phenobarbitone tin instead of Albendazole tin,’ the message read.

The message was a response to calls for emergency intervention. Dr Bahati explained that it was intended to calm fears, as many parents initially believed vaccines were to blame, raising concerns about potential resistance to immunisation efforts. ‘Response from communities was turning against immunisation. When we investigated, we found the cause and withdrew the team immediately. We hope the situation remains normal,’ he said.

The District Chief Administrative Officer, Mr Fedelis Kizza, confirmed that officials and health teams are investigating how a Grade A drug was mistakenly administered under a Class C system.

‘At the moment, we have concentrated on treating the victims. As I speak, they are all out of danger. The next step will be to investigate how these drugs got there, how they were administered, and who is responsible for it. Whether it is a result of negligence or a simple human error, and who should be held individually liable,’ he said.

The Resident District Commissioner, Ms Mirriam Mugisha Kagaiga, emphasised the importance of a thorough investigation, especially given the potential impact on public trust in immunisation programmes. ‘We are so happy with the response of our medical teams on the incident.

However, I feel a lot must be investigated. I am impressed that the children are out of danger and the ICHD is going on well. Vaccination is a core programme under this government, and anything that happens within it is a cause of worry,’ she said.

This is not the first immunisation-related incident in Ntungamo District. In 2010, a child died at Kishami Health Centre after choking on an Albendazole tablet that was swallowed without medical supervision.

The 2025 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) kicked off across Uganda today under heightened security and vigilance from the Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) following the arrest of three suspects in Lira City for allegedly attempting to bribe an examination scout.

According to Uneb Principal Public Relations Officer Jennifer Kalule Musamba, the suspects, a school director, a former teacher at the same school, and another teacher from a different school, were arrested after they allegedly tried to influence the scout assigned to supervise PLE in Oyam District.

‘The three suspects were arrested at Garden Hotel in Lira City after attempting to offer a bribe of Shs1 million to a UNEB scout in exchange for assistance during the examinations,’ Ms Kalule said.

‘Police recovered the money, which has since been exhibited as evidence,’ she added. Ms Kalule said the suspects are being investigated under Section 26(1)(g) of the UNEB Act, Cap 259, which provides for a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of Shs20 million, or both upon conviction.

Uneb Executive Director Dan Odongo has cautioned all those involved in the conduct of the exams to uphold integrity and avoid malpractice.

‘We urge everyone to maintain the highest standards of integrity. Anyone caught aiding or abetting malpractice will be arrested and prosecuted, regardless of their position,’ he warned. This year, a total of 817,885 candidates have registered for PLE, up from 797,444 in 2024, a 2.5 percent increase.

The candidates are drawn from 16,140 examination centres across the country and will sit Mathematics and Social Studies today, followed by Integrated Science and English tomorrow. According to Uneb statistics, 389,529 candidates (48 percent) are male, while 428,356 (52 percent) are female.

Of these, 522,039 candidates (64 percent) are funded under the Universal Primary Education (UPE) programme, while 295,846 (36 percent) are privately sponsored.

Among the registered candidates are 61 inmates from Upper Prison School, Luzira, including 54 males and seven females. Uneb said 3,644 candidates with special needs will receive additional support during the examinations.

‘We have made the necessary arrangements to provide braille question papers and answer sheets for 33 blind candidates, large print papers for 620 with low vision, and sign language interpreters for 300 deaf candidates,’ Mr Odongo said.

He added that 1,318 learners with dyslexia or severe physical impairments will be assisted by transcribers, and all special needs candidates will get 45 extra minutes per paper. A total of 1,505 support personnel have been deployed to assist them.

To ensure smooth conduct of the examinations, Uneb has deployed 59,890 field personnel nationwide. These include district monitors, scouts, chief invigilators, invigilators, and security officers tasked with overseeing the examinations, protecting candidates, and safeguarding materials.

Mr Odongo noted that field management of the PLE is a joint effort between Uneb and local governments.

‘The Board calls upon Chief Administrative Officers to promptly process and release funds, oversee the distribution of papers, ensure prompt payments to invigilators, and clamp down on malpractice,’ he said.

He also warned against fraudulent online activities, saying some individuals have been collecting money on social media under the guise of leaking PLE papers.

‘Security agencies have arrested some of these, while others are on the run. Anyone found circulating fake papers will face prosecution under Section 25 of the Uneb Act, which provides for up to 10 years in prison or a fine of Shs40 million, or both,’ he cautioned.

Police are pursuing kidnappers of a child who are demanding Shs7m ransom for her freedom. The Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire, yesterday confirmed the pursuit by Katwe Police Station.

He said the police in Nyanama Zone, Rubaga Division in Kampala, received a complaint from Ms Grace Athieno, the child’s mother, claiming some unknown people had raided her home on Saturday night, grabbed and carried off her three-year-old daughter, and were demanding Shs7m for her release.

‘The detectives visited the scene and recorded several statements from the house occupants, and investigations are ongoing,’ Mr Owoyesigyire said. He said no suspect has been arrested.

Ms Athieno said she left home for work on Friday and left her daughter and three other children with their sister-in-law, Ms Catherine Abbo. Ms Abbo told the police that some unknown people stormed the home at night, knocked on the doors and windows, and ordered them to open. She said upon opening, a group of three ladies and four men entered the house and demanded to see Mr Denis Opendi, and his wife, Athieno. Ms Abbo told police that on realising the duo was not in the house, the strangers grabbed the child and carried her away.

Ms Athieno told this publication yesterday that the suspected kidnappers called her husband demanding Shs7m for the release of their daughter. Mr Owoyesigyire said the case could be linked to a tours and travel company that parents worked for in Nyanama and was linked to labour export overseas. He said the demand for ransom could be connected with money paid for unmet promises for work abroad. Mr Owoyesigyire said the police are looking for Mr Opendi to record a statement as investigations continue. This is the fifth kidnap case being reported at Katwe Police Station in less than three months.

Background

From 2018, cases of kidnap dropped after the highly publicised case of Susan Magara, the then cashier of Bwendeiro Dairy Farm, who was held captive for three weeks as her kidnappers demanded Shs3.6b. Police records show that 401 cases of child abduction and kidnap were reported in 2019, with 382 reported in 2020, and another 291 cases recorded in 2021.

The opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) has established a legal team to register complaints from traders affected by Friday’s flash flooding in Kampala, aiming to seek government compensation for lost property.

The team, unveiled on Monday by NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya, comprises lawyers Shamim Malende and Samuel Muyizi, who have begun collecting complaints from traders affected by heavy rains along Nakivubo Channel.

Addressing traders and supporters at NUP headquarters before embarking on his campaign, NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, expressed sympathy for those displaced by floods across Uganda and called for unity for leadership change.

‘The government all along has failed to effectively plan for its people before such disasters affecting Ugandans. As the floods swept people’s merchandise in Kampala, we saw the same disasters in Kapchorwa, Kwene, and Bulambuli, and the cycle continues,’ Kyagulanyi said.

‘It is now 40 years; it is the right time to unite for the common goal of all and avoid lamentations,’ he added.

Traders recounted heavy losses following the flooding that left at least three people dead. Agricultural dealer Geoffrey Jjemba said he lost 18 sacks of fertilizer and chicken feed, estimating his losses at Shs 10 million.

‘There are my fertilisers. They were destroyed by the floodwater,’ he said.

Ivan Kalule, a polyene bag dealer at Container Village, said he lost Shs70 million.

‘The water swept everything. The government should come up with a comprehensive plan to prevent such a disaster from happening again. We are tired of being slaves in our own country,’ he said.

Mattress dealer Ismael Kabasa Kibanza estimated losses of Shs 80 million.

‘I had just gotten Shs100 million from the loan to develop my business. On Friday I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. if we are not helped, I am likely to lose my house that I used as security,’ he added.

Blanket retailer Aisha Nakatawa lamented, ‘I have experienced the worst moment in my life. Why do poor people continue to suffer? We want justice.’

On her part, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki said teams had been deployed to assess damages.

‘Our technical team is on the ground to assess the liability, to see where the problem started from and what the way forward is. The report will be so important to make a decision on our next step,’ she said.

According to the Makerere Meteorological Department, Kampala recorded 63.4 mm of rain, causing flash floods along Nakivubo Channel and near the Old Taxi Park, affecting basement premises and merchandise.

I was given a herb called HANS, and I was told that it would make my penis longer and bigger. However, after three months of use, I see no results. Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

It is important to understand that penis size is largely determined by genetics. Many men believe their penis is smaller than average, which can lead to a desire for enlargement. Unfortunately, most methods marketed for increasing penis size, such as pumps, jelqing, traction with weights, various exercises, and herbal remedies, have not proven effective and can often result in negative side effects.

These techniques are generally not medically recommended, except in specific cases such as micropenis, where medical intervention may be necessary.

I am unsure of your age, but if you are taking herbal testosterone, it may only benefit the penis size of children undergoing puberty or infants with low testosterone levels. Low testosterone in these groups can lead to a small penis or delayed development.

For adults, low testosterone levels might result in decreased libido and erectile problems.

While herbal testosterone may help with these issues, it is unlikely to lead to penis enlargement and could pose serious risks, including an increased likelihood of blood clots, heart issues, infertility, and potential stimulation of existing prostate cancer.

It is advisable to consult a doctor instead of relying on herbal remedies.

Opposition presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, has pledged to make public accountability a central pillar of his government if elected in the 2026 January 15 General Election.

Speaking at campaign rallies in Gomba and Butambala districts on Monday, the National Unity Platform (NUP) party leader accused the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) of presiding over widespread corruption and eroding public trust.

‘A service worth Shs1 million ends up costing billions of shillings, money that drains the public coffers. This mass corruption and lack of accountability will have to end when we get to power,’ Kyagulanyi told supporters at Kibibi Main Mosque grounds in Butambala.

He said his campaign, built around the slogan ‘Protest Vote,’ represents what he called a ‘do-or-die struggle’ to remove President Museveni’s government, which has ruled for nearly four decades.

‘We are in an election season where excess use of money as a tool to canvassing votes is the order of the day,’ he said.

‘We urge President Museveni to denounce and abandon the use of money in elections. We also demand that the ongoing abductions of our supporters in Gomba and Butambala districts by security operatives come to an end,’ he added.

Reports emerged on Sunday that some NUP supporters in Gomba and Butambala were allegedly assaulted while preparing to welcome Kyagulanyi.

Witnesses claimed that men, believed to be security operatives, fired live bullets in the air and tore down campaign materials. Monitor could not independently verify the claims.

But on Monday, Kyagulanyi said his movement seeks to restore integrity in governance and end what he described as a ‘divide and rule’ policy that has fueled inequality and disillusionment among Ugandans.

He is expected to continue his campaign trail in neighbouring Lyantonde and Ssembabule districts on Tuesday.

Kyagulanyi is among seven candidates officially nominated by the Electoral Commission to challenge President Museveni, who has ruled Uganda for nearly 40 years.

According to Electoral Commission statistics, Gomba District had 81,314 registered voters in 2021, while Butambala had 55,813. Gomba has two parliamentary constituencies-Gomba East and Gomba West-while Butambala has one.

If there were still lingering doubts that the StarTimes Uganda Premier League would limp through another disjointed campaign, they were emphatically dispelled over the weekend.

The league has properly dusted itself from the early season chaos, and the table is now taking recognizable shape at the top – with every team having at least played a match.

The stakes are high, the title race is gradually shaping up, and all eyes are now fixed on Friday’s blockbuster clash at St. Mary’s Stadium-Kitende, where defending champions Vipers will host table-topping KCCA in what promises to be a sizzling encounter.

If the earlier heavyweight clashes – SC Villa vs. KCCA and Express vs. KCCA – didn’t ignite the league fireworks, this one surely will.

Both sides have now sent clear statements of intent in their dress rehearsal fixtures, displaying the kind of championship mettle that whets the appetite for what lies ahead.

Lugogo massacre

On Friday evening at Lugogo, Jackson Magera’s KCCA FC unleashed a four-goal spectacle to humble Calvary 4-2 and storm to the summit with 11 points from five matches.

The Kasasiro Boys were at their ruthless best – Ivan Ahimbisibwe opened the scoring in the 10th minute before Umar Lutalo doubled the advantage three minutes later.

Shafik Kwikiriza made it 3-0 just before halftime, sealing a blistering first-half performance that left Calvary shell-shocked.

The visitors threatened a comeback through Lawrence Olaboro’s and Stephen Oriokot’s goals, but Herbert Achai’s second-half header restored KCCA’s three-goal cushion, ensuring the Lugogo side finished the night in control and atop the log.

No Okello, no problem

A day later, the champions Vipers, who had delayed their league start due to their earlier boycott and Caf Champions League engagements, threw their hat into the title ring with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Entebbe UPPC at the Bugonga Fisheries Ground.

Midfield maestro Abdulkarim Watambala produced the decisive moment in the 62nd minute, rifling home a crisp finish off a Yunus Sentamu assist.

Goalkeeper Alfred Mudekereza, later named Man of the Match, pulled off several crucial saves to keep coach Ivan Minnaert’s Venoms afloat against Abdallah Mubiru’s well-drilled UPPC side.

The result lifted the champions to 13th position on three points from their first outing, while UPPC, impressive in their debut top-flight campaign, sit sixth on seven points.

Adding intrigue to Friday’s anticipated clash, Vipers rested star man Allan Okello, who is recovering from visible fatigue picked up during his Uganda Cranes and Caf assignments – a tactical move that could pay off when the two giants collide in Kitende.

Bul threat

Meanwhile, Abbey Kikomeko’s Bul, second on nine points, continue to lurk menacingly near the summit despite being held to a 0-0 draw by Express in Njeru on Thursday.

Bul remain unbeaten in five matches and are fast cementing their reputation as genuine title contenders.

Beware of Jogoos

Elsewhere, Zeljko Kovacevic’s SC Villa climbed to fifth on seven points after following up their 2-1 win over Police with a commanding 3-0 demolition of Buhimba United Saints in Butema.

Reagan Mpande bagged a brace – one a cheeky lob over goalkeeper Derrick Ayebale, the other a fine team move – while Aslam Ssemakula added the third from David Owori’s corner.

The Jogoos are suddenly living up to their billing as one of the most complete sides to watch, especially after their Fufa Super Eight heroics.

Wasswa Bbosa’s Kitara also rediscovered their groove, hammering Lugazi 4-0 courtesy of Patrick Kaddu’s brace, Yunus Sibira’s strike, and Gaddafi Wahab’s sublime corner kick goal to rise to seventh with seven points.

At Nakivubo, Allan Isabirye’s URA finally shed their bridesmaid tag with a spirited 3-2 win over UPDF, thanks to Moses Aliro’s brace and George Masembe’s first-half effort. The Tax Collectors now sit eighth with seven points.

And in Kamwenge, Nec, still without suspended coach Hussein Mbalangu, registered their first win under James Odoch, edging Mbarara City 1-0 through Allan Mugalu’s 54th-minute strike.

With the table now taking shape, the league narrative is clear – the kings are back, pretenders are fading, and Friday’s Kitende duel could mark the first true test of this season’s championship credentials.

Vipers vs. KCCA, 7pm

The wait is finally over. The 2025 Fifa U-17 World Cup kicked off on Tuesday, with South Africa taking on Bolivia in the opener before hosts Qatar face 2024 European champions Italy in the second match.

Uganda will have watched some games before making their long-awaited debut on Wednesday at 8:45pm when they face Canada. The other Group K clash, between France and Chile, will be played simultaneously on a different pitch.

Head coach Brian Ssenyondo and his team arrived in Qatar on Saturday morning brimming with belief and ambition. Fueling that optimism is the experienced trio of captain Richard Okello and the Vipers pair Abubakali Walusimbi and Arafat Nkoola who all featured in the heartbreaking 2023 Cecafa Afcon qualifiers where Uganda fell to Somalia on penalties.

They are joined by Edrisah Waibi (Buddo SS), John Brian Owino, Simon Wanyama, and Enock Bagenda (KCCA), all of whom have progressed through Uganda’s youth ranks, having debuted with the Uganda Rhinos (U-15) side at the 2023 Cecafa Championships.

‘Of course, any coach would want to have his best players around the team and their addition is very important for us,’ Ssenyondo told Daily Monitor after arriving in Qatar.

‘It doesn’t only improve the team but also boosts the players around them because they bring valuable experience. These boys have come through the ranks, so their maturity is crucial.’

Nkoola and Walusimbi were standout performers during the Cecafa qualifiers, each scoring in the knockout rounds, though they missed out on the final Afcon squad. The World Cup group also features new faces Asiimwe, Waibi, Gilbert Mazige, and Kamurungi Nuweagaba from Kitara who didn’t play in Morocco.

The Cubs will next face Chile on November 8 before wrapping up their group campaign against France on November 11.

Under the new tournament format, the top two teams from each of the 12 groups, along with the eight best third-placed teams, will advance to the round of 32.
