Uganda: Museveni Roadside Call Excites Region

Kampala — Senior presidential press secretary Don Wanyama, said the president received an urgent call which he needed to "take privately" because of its nature

President Museveni on Monday surprised residents of Kyeirumba village in Isingiro District when he stopped on the roadside to make a telephone call.

Mr Museveni, according to his press office, sat by the roadside in Kyeirumba for about 30 minutes attracting curious residents who gazed at him as he made a call.

He acknowledged the residents' cheers with his trademark thumb-up.

Mr Museveni also directed his security not to block traffic while he made his call, his press secretary Linda Nabusayi said in a statement.

He was travelling from Isingiro where he had earlier attended the World Population Day commemoration.

Horrific child abuse: baby Arnella is doing fine

In Kampala, Uganda an 18-month toddler who was brutally tortured by her helper has received medical attention and is doing well.

The nanny Jolly Tumuhirwe was caught on camera slapping the child,Arnella Kamanzi  and throwing her to the floor and using a blunt object to forcefully beat her while she continuously stepped on the toddler’s body.

Despite the ordeal, her mother says little Arnella is recovering at home quite well.

According to Africanspotlight.com, the toddler’s father, Erick Kamanzi noticed bruises on his daughter’s body. He then reviewed the security tapes as he had installed cameras in his home and saw the footage of Tumuhirwe assaulting the child.

A video of a Uganda child minder allegedly beating a child in her care has gone viral.

Nanny caught on camera abusing a child in Uganda

The two-year-old Aneela is seen terribly tortured by Jolly Tumuhiirwe, 22.

The video captured by interior security camera early last week at Erick Kamanzi,’s home, reveals a breath-taking story where Tumuhiirwe is trying to feed the baby.

The nanny identified as Jolly Tumuhiirwe, 22, is now reportedly confined to a wheelchair and feeding through tubes due to the severe beating she received from the baby’s father.

According to family sources, Kamanzi last week came home and found some bruises on the baby. He did not ask what happened but he hastily went to review the cameras which, he had taken long to monitor. This was last Saturday November 15th 2014.

What he saw is what is seen in the video below. Raged to the marrow, Kamanzi bounced on Tumuhiirwe and clobbered her to pulp. Done with it, he turned to tend to the baby as Tumuhiirwe ran to police where, she reported an assault case against her Master Kamanzi.

The Kiwatule police swung into action, raided Kamanzi’s home and arrested him. He promptly confessed to the charge before he was dragged to cells. After cooling down, Kamanzi asked the cops to look at what made him clobber the maid. A mere look at the video changed the cops’ stance and released Kamanzi.

Speaking to the investigator today, police chief spokesman CP Fred Enanga confirmed that Tumuhiirwe’s case had been taken over by the events.

Reading the file number as CRB 1346/14 of Kiira Road, Enanga said the nanny was yesterday charged under Anti-torture Act at Nakawa Court.

But Enanga hastily adds that police are contemplating on revising the charge and upgrade it to attempted murder. He said the Tumuhiirwe will re-appear in court on December 8th 2014. Efforts to get hints on the baby’s mother were futile as family sources maintained silence on the question.

(NB: I beg you to just look for that video because i tried to send it in vain, most of you are going to cry. )
