Stories 

• KENYA, RUTO, THE U.S. & THE EBOLA STANDOFF: Kenya is facing backlash after the U.S. announced plans to quarantine Americans exposed to Ebola at a facility in Laikipia. The decision sparked public outrage and legal action, with a Kenyan court ordering a halt to the project and demanding details of the agreement between Nairobi and Washington. Critics argue that Kenya is being used to handle a problem the U.S. does not want on its own soil, while President William Ruto insists the arrangement is part of an international public health partnership. After the strikes, USA now issued a travel advisory to Americans flying to kenya. Is this all FAIR? 
• Uganda has unveiled one of the tallest flagpoles in Africa at the new Ministry of Defence and UPDF headquarters on Mbuya Hill. Towering over Kampala’s skyline, the massive structure flies a giant Ugandan flag that can be seen from several parts of the city and has quickly become a talking point online. Supporters see it as a symbol of national pride, confidence, and a country that is investing in iconic landmarks, while critics are already asking the familiar question: “How much did it cost, and could that money have been spent elsewhere?” Will this make Ugandans more patriotic?
• Medical interns fees scrapped: Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi says the government's decision to scrap allowances for medical interns is due to the sharp increase in the number of graduates, making the arrangement financially unsustainable. All this while Speaker’s budget rose 7 times (4.4b to 28.5b), UGX 55 billion is allocated to Parliament for newspaper subscriptions, number of RDCs, MPs and ministers is increased. Cabinet Ministers from 21 to 30 and State Ministers from 21 to 51. The Ministry of Health usually deploys between 1,500 and 2,025 medical internsannually, who earn 1M a month. Is it a viable solution? 
• PAUL KAFEERO’S BODY EXHUMED IN 20-YEAR PATERNITY BATTLE: The remains of legendary Kadongo Kamu musician Paul Kafeero were exhumed this week following a court order to facilitate DNA testing in a family dispute that has dragged on for more than 20 years. The tests are expected to determine whether over 20 individuals claiming to be Kafeero’s biological children are indeed related to the late singer. Would you support being exhumed for money?
• INSURANCE BOSS SUES TO KEEP HIS JOB: In a cease-and-desist letter dated June 1, lawyers representing IRA accuse Kaddunabbi of entering the regulator’s premises and presenting himself to staff as the CEO despite the expiry of his contract and the appointment of an Acting CEO. A major boardroom battle is unfolding after outgoing Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) CEO Ibrahim Lubega Kaddunabbi petitioned court over the decision not to renew his contract after 16 years at the helm of Uganda’s insurance regulator. Kaddunabbi argues that he was denied a fair process despite what he describes as a strong performance record that saw insurance premiums grow, industry reforms introduced, and the iconic Insurance Tower constructed. However, the IRA board insists that a contract renewal is not automatic and says it lawfully decided against recommending him for another term. Does he have a right?
• Ugandan police raided an alleged sex trafficking and adult webcam ring in Kyaliwajjala, rescuing 27 young women who were reportedly recruited into an online escort and live-streaming operation. Following the crackdown, authorities launched a manh
