- Walk to work: Tear Gas Canister Lobbed into Kololo High School With Exams Underway
- Exams have been disrupted at Kololo high school after a tear gas canister is lobbed into the school compound just hours after the start of the first examination for this years “O” Levels.
  
  Daily Monitor reporter Patience Ahimbisibwe on the scene says chaotic scenes engulfed the school as students other than the candidates stormed out of their classes demanding that the authorities release them, a demand the administrators have declined saying they are not sure what is happening on outside the school.
  
  It is believed that a confrontation between Police and suspected walk to work demonstrators around the Kiseka Market could have prompted the Police use of tear gas that landed in the school.
  
  National exams began the country but there were fears as they coincide with an opposition activists call for a resumption of Walk to Work protests against the high cost of living.
  
  President Museveni warned on Sunday that the protests will not be tolerated.
