#MorningCountryKiboozi: For a singer to sound as melodious while singing live music is when most of us justify them as full artists. But to be honest,isn't live music overrated??
What do you prefer yourself?? Is it live music with vocal ranges and all or vibes of tracks played by DJs on CD and performed by artists without proving anything ??

Govt to give loans to students of Arts.
Students planning to study humanities at universities and other higher institutions of learning will, starting the 2022/23 academic year, be eligible to apply for government study loans. The online applications start on Friday.
The decision by the Higher Education Students Financing Board (HESFB) underlines a major reversal of a policy under which only Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) courses have been eligible since the establishment of this funding mechanism in 2014.
Mr Bbosa Kizito, the HESFB director for operations, said that the Board decided to onboard students offering humanities because some of the courses are “critical” for Uganda’s development.
“Tourisms has been listed in the National Development Plan III as one of the supporting programmes that are critical for national development. We are hopeful that more people will be employed in the sector,” he said.
It's about time

Price spikes since March push 71 million into poverty - UN.
Soaring global food and energy prices have forced 71 million people into poverty in the world's poorest countries, according to a United Nations Development Program report published Thursday.
The rise in the developing world's poverty rates over the past three months "is drastically faster than the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic," said the UNDP in a press release, blaming the price surges in part on the war in Ukraine.
To address the growing issue, the UNDP said "targeted cash transfers to households are more equitable and more cost-effective than blanket energy subsidies," but the UN agency added that governments will "need support from the multilateral system to make ends meet."

Ugandan in UK protests deportation to Rwanda.
Britain vowed Wednesday it would pursue its controversial policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda after a first flight was cancelled following a legal ruling, in an embarrassing blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government.
A Ugandan refugee only identified as Harriette told Sky News that asylum seekers who are going to be deported to Rwanda “are being sent to their death.”
“It’s like they are sending them to their death, because it’s just not clear what these guys are thinking. To send people to die while they are watching, are they ready to carry on blood of the people each and every one going to that country tomorrow?” Harriette said before she asked: “If they felt their country was safe, why would I leave Uganda and leave Rwanda and come to the UK, I would have crossed to Rwanda?” she asked.
“But I felt it was not safe, because I have been there before. I have led protest against this. All protests that I have tried to up laws against LGBT in East Africa at large, I know what the community thinks,” Harriette added.
This is getting worse!

Muhoozi sued over 48th birthday celebration activities.
Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has been sued for his recent 48th birthday celebration activities that many have since interpreted as the start of a succession process that will end up with him replacing his father, President Museveni.
The petitioner, lawyer Gawaya Tegulle, says it’s unconstitutional for Gen Muhoozi to start engaging in political activities since he is a serving officer of the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF). Officers are expected to be non-partisan, Mr Tegulle adds.
The petition was filed before the Constitutional Court in Kampala on Thursday last week.
“The acts of the first respondent (Gen Muhoozi) dubbed MK@48 including national and district birthday celebrations as well as political pronouncements in general and the manifest presidential campaigns in particular, on the first respondent’s twitter handle, @MK, are inconsistent to article 208 (2) of the Constitution that provides UPDF shall be non-partisan, national in character, patriotic, professional, disciplined, productive and subordinate to civilian authority…” the petition reads in part.
“As a serving officer of the UPDF, the first respondent (Gen Muhoozi), acted in an undisciplined manner, lacking good character when with impunity, breached the Code of Conduct for the defence forces,” it adds.
Also jointly sued with Gen Muhoozi is the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), for being an overseer of the military, and the Attorney General, the chief government legal adviser.
Let's watch and see what happens next?
