At least 36 people were killed during an overnight attack on a village in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sad news to Uganda as Kenya moves to ban her milk.

Business, FEATURED, Latest News, NEWS
Uganda’s rising trend in milk exports is likely to suffer a new dent after Kenya suspended imports of powdered milk, in what some think is a spillover of Kenya’s internal politics. In a notice dated March 6, 2023, to all milk importers in Kenya, Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) said it was moving to protect local farmers from external products, as their output is expected to increase soon. “In anticipation of the long rains, the government has stopped the importation of milk powders to cushion the industry from surplus production and low prices,” says a statement signed by Margaret Kibogy, KDB managing director. She says that the board will no longer issue new import permits until further notice. Though the letter appears generalized, some businesspeople allege it was targeted at imports from Ugand...

Members of Parliament on the Health Committee have rejected a supplementary request of Shs2.7 billion by the Ministry of Health to supervise the construction of the Lubowa International Specialized hospital tasking the ministry to present the status of the hospital.
