Residents of Nyakabingo Parish in the Central Division of Kasese Municipality have given UWA a two-day ultimatum to capture and relocate the alleged stray lions that have been terrorising the area. 

Tensions are escalating in Kasese as residents have issued a stern ultimatum to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), threatening to kill lions that escaped from a national park and have been terrorising the community. The residents of Nyakakabingo Parish have given UWA a two-day deadline to locate and recapture the stray predators.

A wave of excitement and relief swept through roadside traders along the Gayaza–Kayunga highway, particularly in Kalagi and Lugazi town, after the Ministry of Works and Transport granted them temporary permission to continue operating within road reserve areas.

The traders, who mainly operate in Kalagi Town, Kyampisi Sub-county in Mukono District, had recently protested eviction orders issued by the Ministry, arguing that they were being unfairly forced out without being allocated alternative working spaces.

Panic has gripped residents of Kikooza Village in Mukono Central Division after several electricity poles deteriorated, leaving dangerously hanging power cables that now pose a serious threat to lives and property.

For months, residents have pleaded with the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) to fix the problem, but their concerns have gone unanswered. The situation has now become critical after one of the electric poles in the area began to rot and lean dangerously, supported only by the wall of a nearby house.

In a significant effort to promote environmental conservation, the Rotary Club of Sonde has intensified its campaign against climate change by launching a project to restore a forest corridor in Lazarus Forest, Nandere, Luwero District.
