Guided Self Drive

As many tourists yearn for a Uganda self drive, few of them know that it’s quite challenging to drive on the roads of this East African country. Take for instance the streets of the USA, they are in good condition and you can’t see any holes in them. It’s a different case here in Uganda in that a large portion of the streets are not in good condition and they are totally not quite the same as those in created states. It’s for this reason one ought to first know the circumstances in which he/she will be confronted while driving on a Ugandan Road. As a rule, we at Budget Car Rental Uganda guarantee that our customers get the best starting instructions about road safety measures before being given our vehicles. Before one rent’s a car from us, we guarantee that he or she has the essential information about the nation furthermore the rules that apply on the Roads. We also prompt that he or she goes with our guide to help in locating the various places.

Be that as it may, what are some of the best practices one should observe before driving any car on Ugandan roads?

  • Keep Left: Different from most outside nations, in Uganda vehicles including bikes keep left. This is the main thing one ought to know before hiring a car from us. One may be used to his country of origin’s rules of keeping right, and in this way may get mixed up to drive on Uganda streets on right. It’s an offense to drive from the right-hand side of the street in Uganda and if got by the traffic officers, a punishment or even detainment may happen. It should also be noted that most of the cars in Uganda are right-handed because of the rule of keeping left while driving on the roads.
  • Tie the belts while driving. This is one of the disregarded guidelines by most Ugandan drivers yet it’s one of the least secure practices one can ever do. Belts are so critical, particularly on roads that have bumps and uneven surfaces. Likewise, in case one gets into an accident, the belt helps in lessening the harm to the people in the vehicle. It’s an offense if got by traffic officers driving without wearing seat belts.
  • Have the Driving license updated. As you surely understand that before driving a car in any country on the planet, you are required to have a substantial driving permit. This is the same case in Uganda and nobody is allowed to drive without having one. For travelers who may visit Uganda and wish to drive themselves, they are required to carry their driving licenses from their respective countries which can be used to get authorization from the Uganda traffic police to drive on Ugandan roads. In the event that one is discovered driving without a legitimate driving permit, he/she is fined or taken to court.
  • Know where you are going: This is critical particularly to first-time guests in Uganda. Because of the traffic jam in most urban spots in the country, it’s generally a best practice to know some different courses which can lead you to the same destination simply as one who has used the main road. This helps in saving time and fuel. But this should not stress anybody because at our organization, we generally provide a well-trained and experienced guide who can help in finding these alternative routes.
  • Know the street signs. This is so essential in light of the fact that a decent driver ought to dependably recognize what street signs mean. They offer headings to the drivers and furthermore empower them to foresee what they should expect ahead.

The above practices are so vital and if used, then one should expect the best experience out and about and the most amusing Uganda Safari experience.

Trial of Uganda Constitution

Uganda Parliament

There’s a trial in parliament. The accused is the constitution. The constitution stands accused of standing in the way of one man’s despotic ambitions.

The chief complainant is President Yoweri Museveni. The Chief Prosecutor is Hon.Raphael Magyezi. The Chief Judge is the Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, Speaker of Parliament.

The accused will be flogged, spat on and insulted. Eventually, probably, the judge, like Pontius Pilate will abdicate her sacred duty to uphold justice and let the mob crucify the accused. The accused will probably be crucified. In agony he will look down from the cross and see that those baying for his blood are the same ones he loved, fed and healed.

Short-sighted people will see the constitution crucified and think that is the end. In reality that will a new beginning. The constitution will not die.

The Hostel Movie Kampala

We don’t know, but we believe that Besigye will be back by seven thirty this evening. If he doesn’t stop along the way for a snack, then he will be in time for this week’s stretch of The Hostel. Just to prepare him, and to prepare you, because we care about the common man, not just the political elite, we have hammered out (heh) a quick recapitulation of the major plot points.

Hope Vs Brother John

Things are really starting to happen up here. The sexy, scorching hot and did I mention sexy saved chick with the limited acting range (if you don’t agree that she is hot and sexy, check this out. If you don’t agree about the acting range…) has been the female corner of a very shaky love square. Gilo wants some, and Sleazy Brother Angelo wants some, but we are rooting for Brother John, the wet, limp, goofy idiot who, when cornered into telling the truth about why he was always finding excuses to visit Hope’s room, instead of admitting that he was creepy-stalking Hope, thought it was a good idea to lie and say he was creepy-stalking Patra instead.Yeah. Nice move, Brother John.But all things work for the good of those that love the Lord, and Hope finally cluck. Thanks to the angelic Annete and her big mouth. Now Hope and Brother John are closer than ever to that love scene which our intelligence swears is written somewhere in the script.
Odoch Vs Kitty Vs Arach

Odoch is the Fresh Prince of this show. Now he has two women fighting for him. Kitty swore to her gods that she will destroy Arach, that she will flood the halls of the Hostel with the blood of Arach, that woe unto Arach for the wrath of Kitty has no equal. Woe unto all that dare cross Kitty.Kitty’s awesome.Arach, you see, had for some reason carried a drunk Odoch to his bed and then blacked out on top of him. An amusing Three Stooges routine was played for us, involving Arach locked in the closet and Kitty giving her opinion on Arach’s legs. You missed. But tune in tonight to see.

Patra vs Odoch
As you know, Patra crossed Odoch and he declared war on her. Something to do with a necklace. And his attempt to sexually assault her in the first episode. So far Odoch is winning this war. He is a shrewd man, that one. Shrewd and rutheless and sneaky. Right now Patra thinks he told her dad (a certain veteran actor whos name I should know but don’t because he’s doing a dismal job. Hell, even Hope’s performance is better than his) that she is juggling two men. The gormless Alma and the Member of Parliament for Douchebags, Mr Gilo.Patra walked in to make peace. “This war sucks,” she said.Odoch replied, “No. It sucks for you.”
I wonder when Opposition will agree to have talks with Government. And who will say Odoch’s line.
This is just some of what has been happening. To find out what follows, tune in today and we see if:

  • Brother John and Brother Angelo have a bad-ass kung-fu fight in the hostel, choreographed by the Captain Alex guy.
  • Annete gets a love interest. Who is not Sobba.
  • Bianca’s dead body is found. I think she’s dead.
  • The storyline about Twine and his girl Jackie and their new friend becomes interesting.
  • Kitty wears something skimpy.

I Was Misquoted: Minister Lokodo Denies Banning Miniskirts

Lokodo

Last year, Uganda’s Minister of Miniskirts Simon Lokodo told women to stay off miniskirts. This year, we find out that it wasn’t meant in the “don’t wear them” sense, but in the “don’t do anything bad to them because they are precious to me” sense.

Here’s our interview with the Regional Head of Miniskirts.

ULK: Good morning, Simon Lokodo.

Loko: Well done.

ULK: Let’s dig right in.

Loko: I didn’t dig into my wife’s phone last night to check if she was playing sex with other men. I was misquoted.

ULK: No, that’s…WHAT?!

Loko: You talked about digging.

ULK: LOL.

Loko: So you didn’t talk about digging? Meaning you were misquoted?

ULK: No!

Loko: Which means you were misquoted. Now do you get my precament?

ULK: Predicament.

Loko: What did I say?

ULK: Precament.

Loko: I was misquoted.

ULK: Must be your favourite excuse.

Loko: We’ve know each other from way back.

ULK: You and the excuse?

Loko: Yes. We first met in primary school when my P.3 science teacher accused me of calling someone a baboon.

ULK: And you were misquoted?

Loko: Yes. I didn’t call someone a baboon. I called somebody a baboon. There’s a difference.

ULK: Is that what happened when you banned miniskirts?

Loko: Yes.

ULK: What exactly did you say?

Loko: That they are banned and women should not wear them.

ULK: And how were you misquoted?

Loko: Do you want some tea? Coffee? I just remembered I didn’t offer you anything. Which, if you think about it, is very shameful for a whole Minister of Integrity. Where are my integrities?

ULK: Mister Lokodo, I have a really long day today. There are movies I have to watch and drinks I have to finish. Can we get back to the issue please?

Loko: Oh yes, tea or coffee?

ULK: Miniskirts.

Loko: I have only tea and coffee.

ULK: Did you or did you not ban miniskirts?

Loko: Yes.

ULK: Yes, you did, or yes, you did not?

Loko: Yes.

ULK: Lokodo, did you ban miniskirts?

Loko: Fffssshhh…fffssssshhhhhh…Hello? Hello? I can’t hear you! I’m driving through a tunnel.

ULK: Boss, this is not a phone interview. Stop playing.

Loko: Fffssshhh…krrrrrrr…fffsssshhhhh…I can’t hear you! Helloooo?

ULK: Good day.

Loko: Now I can hear you.

The car was coming from Jinja-Mukono road. The body of the deceased is at his parents’ home in Kireka.

Dizzy Nuts sang with Bebe Cool two successful songs; “Fire Burn Dem” featuring Bebe Cool and Washington and “mundongo”!

Dizzy Nuts ran to Gagamel when he left Bobi Wine’s Firebase Crew in the mid-2000s though he was relieved of his duties after falling out with Bebe. The two reconciled last year and they have been performing together for some time.
