This questions whether @NBSBreakingNews TV is managing PR for the @PatriotLeague of Uganda (PLU) by highlighting a letter claiming to suspend vocal supporter Frank Gashumba over his criticism of Pentecostal churches.
The letter, dated October 19, 2026, accuses Gashumba of attacking Balokole and Pentecostal communities, but PLU's General Secretary has officially dismissed it as fake and not authorized by leadership.
Gashumba's recent public challenge offering Shs500 million to prove miracles in hospitals has drawn backlash from pastors, with the post noting his apparent underestimation of these churches' role in influencing Ugandan elections.
In 2025, 190 people killed by gunfire (slight rise from 188 in 2024). Of these, 171 were male adults, 12 female adults, and 7 male juveniles. Kampala Metropolitan led (e.g., KMP South with 19 cases), followed by Karamoja; Kaabong (9) and Nakapiripirit (8).
Kisoro’s gun violence trend is persistent and tied to robbery/contract crime in a border setting rather than a sharp national-style spike or the highest per-capita rates.

WORKS SAYS IT JOINED NUMBER-PLATE PROJECT AFTER CONTRACT SIGNING
Uganda's Works Ministry official Winston Katushabe testified that his ministry joined the digital number plate project only after the contract was signed as a classified security arrangement under the Office of the President.
The ministry's role centered on verifying that plates met international standards, while security features like chips, trackers, and batteries were handled by other agencies.
MP Jacinta Atuto challenged the process, stating that the technical team should have specified and costed all components before an overall contract price was finalized.
THAT THEY ARE AGENTS OF CMI.
Fresh accusations against his friend Kim Karisa ( @KKariisa ) for allegedly collaborating with Uganda's Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), using multiple thinking-face emojis to express skepticism.
The attached video repeatedly claims that both Frank @FrankGashumba and Kim Kariisa work with CMI, overlaid with crying emojis and static images of the two men alongside a military officer.
This reflects ongoing Ugandan political dynamics where intelligence agency ties are frequently alleged amid activism.

The post follows her recent attendance with her mother at the October 18, 2026 burial of her grandfather Mzee Aloyzi Bujjingo in Rwanda, amid public interest in Pastor Aloysius @BujjingoPastor1 's family relations.

Aking is born a King!
Omusuuga Charles of Tooro Kingdom sold "Oyo Kingship".
There are claims that Omusuuga Charles Kamurasi of @ObukamaBwaTooro Kingdom "sold 'Oyo Kingship'", referring to his influential role heading the Babiito royal clan during the contested succession after King Oyo's death in August 2026.
Accompanying images depict a white Toyota Land Cruiser Prado gifted to him by kingdom subjects (valued around 180 million UGX) bearing MUSUUGA 001 plates, plus a large @ICEALION LION receipt showing his 85 million UGX unit trust investment payout received October 17, 2026.
As a senior prince and long-serving cultural leader, Omusuuga Charles helped select the new king amid family disputes and court challenges, with the post's wording suggesting criticism over personal financial benefits tied to the process.
