LuweeroTHE Electoral Commission on Wednesday declared Prince Ronald Ndawula the new Luweero LC5 chairman despite Hajji Abdul Nadduli's continued threats to challenge him in court.The Electoral Commission disqualified Nadduli from the LC5 race on allegations that he failed to present a certificate from the Uganda National Council for Higher Education (UNCHE) certifying his academic documents.He sued the electoral body, but Kampala High Court threw out his petition on Febuary 16.Justice Vincent Kagaba dismissed the petition saying it was defective. "The EC was justified to annul the petitioner's nomination. Nad duli failed to present the A' level certificate or a qualification higher than it," Kagaba said.He added, "Besides lacking the required academic certificates, the petitioner's application was defective in law in that he swore defective documents to accompany his application for the nomination."Nadduli has launched a second battle to retain his seat.He claims Ndawula also lacks the required qualifications. Nadduli said Rochville University in the USA, where Ndawula claims to have attained his degree, is not accredited by the American government."I have got him and I want to assure everybody that I am the district chairman," he told civil servants at the district headquarters.This was shortly before the District Returing Officer, Mr Kamya Matovu, declared Ndawula the new district chairman.100 Ugandans Deported

Ka mpalaONE hundred Ugandans have been deported from various countries since the beginning of this year. The countries that threw out the Ugandans were the United Kingdom (UK), Japan and South Africa.Entebbe Airport Police chief Suwedi Tambwe on Wednesday said the majority of the deportees were rounded up in the UK after their visas expired."These people often go as visitors with six-month visas. Unfortunately they do not come back when their visas expire and end up being arrested and deported," Tambwe said.Despite going to the various countries as visitors, most Ugandans get involved in casual work locally known as kyeyo, Tambwe said.Kyeyo is Uganda's leading foreign exchange earner.Hundreds of Ugandans in foreign countries like Britain, Canada and the US remit a lot of money to their relatives every year.Tambwe said on return, officials verify whether the deportees are Ugandans before releasing them.In a related development, 19 people were recently arrested while trying to leave Uganda with fake documents.The documents included passports and visas, Tambwe said, adding that they had been prosecuted.He said cases of impersonation had gone down compared to the period between 2001 and 2003."The trend is not worrying. Such cases have tremendously decreased in comparison to the past years," Tambwe said.He said they had acquired modern equipment that would help them detect fictitious documents.
