LUKWAGO DENIED BAIL

0:00 LUKWAGO DENIED BAIL Ex-Kampala Lord Mayor + PFF President Erias Lukwago denied bail. Court says treason-related charge is serious, investigations reach Kenya, + his public influence = flight risk. Lawyers pushed for bail over spinal surgery complications. Court agreed health is serious but ruled treatment can continue in custody. Magistrate Sarah Basemera ordered prison to transfer him to Mulago Hospital for full medical assessment + care. Life vs justice debate rages. 1:35 NEW CHALLENGES FOR BESIGYE’S TEAM Kizza Besigye’s defense team hit 2 walls: Lukwago arrested + denied bail, Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua denied entry to Uganda. Both were key for Besigye’s case. Next court date is June 30. Lawyers argue Besigye has constitutional right to choose his lawyers. If Lukwago + Karua stay out, how does the defense proceed? Big questions for opposition politics. 3:10 BUDGET CUTS IN PARLIAMENT! Speaker Jacob Oboth-Oboth slashed Speakership budget from Shs24.5B to Shs3.9B. That’s Shs20.6B redirected to committees + key activities. MPs applaud “financial responsibility”. But they want more: stronger HR, better committee performance, + crackdown on corruption that hurt last Parliament. Can budget cuts = better service? Ugandans are watching. 4:40 SZA SPEAKS UP! Grammy winner SZA says AI companies trained on 200+ of her songs without permission. She joins artists fighting AI “theft” of voices, music + ideas. Debate: Should AI need consent + payment to use creative work? As AI gets smarter, who owns your art?
