Two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, were reportedly abducted in Uganda while attending opposition leader Bobi Wine’s campaign event. Wine said the activists were taken from a petrol station to an unknown location. Rights groups, including Amnesty International Kenya and the Law Society of Kenya, called on Ugandan authorities to ensure their safety. The incident follows other regional cases of enforced disappearances involving opposition figures and activists, prompting calls for government accountability.

Ugandan lawmakers urged Parliament Speaker Anita Among to recall the House to address the ongoing teachers’ strike led by the Uganda National Teachers’ Union (Unatu). The strike began after the government raised science teachers’ salaries but excluded arts teachers, paralyzing many schools. Lawmakers criticized threats of dismissal, called for dialogue, and proposed salary adjustments. Education officials warned the strike risks social harm, including child labor and teenage pregnancies, while learners remain stranded.

President Yoweri Museveni appointed Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala as the new Inspector General of Government, replacing Beti Olive Namisango Kamya. The move is part of a leadership change in Uganda’s anti-corruption agency. Deputies Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria and Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe remain in their roles. Presidential Deputy Press Secretary Faruk Kirunda confirmed the appointments and stated the names have been sent to Parliament for vetting, as required by the Constitution.

Uganda’s Treasury bond auctions from August to September 2025 raised investor concerns amid rising debt costs and a growing fiscal deficit. In August, the government offered Ush1.4 trillion in bonds but accepted only Ush435 billion. Subsequent auctions raised smaller amounts at high yields. Revenue shortfalls and increased domestic borrowing needs have complicated debt management, prompting the central bank to monitor yields and project reductions through stronger economic growth and improved fiscal performance.
