Embattled business man Charles Alim aka Sipapa is in hot soup after police raided his place and arrested him on double charges. Sipapa is alleged to have defaulted his rent arrears of about three months. It is reported that Sipapa who was being evicted also beat up a journalist who was on scene recording.

The now broke Sipapa is currently detained at Kira Police Station over assaulting a one Alex Bongole, a Spark TV Journalist who was taking pictures of him when he (Sipapa) was being evacuated from his house. Even though this is still a developing story, this is not the first time Sipapa has been arrested as a few months ago on 8th May he was charged with violating traffic rules after getting arrested along Kampala road.

On July 19, Sipapa was once again arrested for being a public nuisance and inconsiderate use of a motor vehicle at Kisekka Market in Kampala, following distress calls from business owners in the area.

The Kampala City Festival that started seven years ago and on average hosts about 5 million people from within and outside the region has been cancelled.

The event which had become a big opportunity for Kampala Capital City Authority’s partners and public who come and do business on that day and get entertainment will not happen this year after the money has been channeled to something else.

According to the KCCA executive director, Jennifer Musisi, the money will be used in schools and hospitals in Kampala. “The money from the proceeds have been going towards rehabilitation of our city schools. In addition to what the government gives us, our #KampalaCityFestival partners have done a great job in helping us improve our schools,” she said at the KCCA presser this morning.

“This year, we have agreed to focus the contributions of our partners on actually implementing projects to improve our schools and health centers. We shall start with re-roofing Nakibubo blue and Nakivubo settlement primary schools and also, build a maternity ward at Kiswa health center. The purpose of the press conference is to inform you that we shall not have a street party this year but focus all our sponsors’ contributions to the CSR cause. Improving our health centers and removing asbestos from our city schools.” Musisi added.
