High Court Quashes Muhakanizi`s Rude Orders, Grants Audit Into Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL) to Proceed and Minister Anite Praised the Court Ruling.

By Editor
The Kampala High Court has Friday ordered the Auditor General to commence an audit into Uganda Telecom Limit with immediate effect.
Justice Musa Sekaana ruled in favor of the national Broadcaster, UBC who requested the audit.
UBC is one of the creditors of the struggling telecom.
In his ruling, Justice Sekaana ordered the audit into UTL — which is currently under administration –  to be conducted within a period of 30 days from today.
“The audit report should be presented/given to all the creditors of the company,” he further ruled.
The news from court was welcomed by Minister of State for Investment and Privatization Hon Evelyn Anite, who for months has been pushing for the audit into the telecom amid resistance from her colleagues at the Ministry as well as UTL administrators.
“I thank Justice Musa Sekaana for a ruling affirming my demand for Auditing UTL and Presidential directive on the same,” Anite said.
“There is authority in this Country and no amount of maneuvers can defeat the right and cause for people of Uganda.”
Earlier, a proposed internal audit into UTL sanctioned by the Finance Ministry, was blocked by the Permanent Secretary Mr Keith Muhakanizi, supposedly on behalf of Minister Matia Kasaija, on grounds of the pre-judice rule.
Mukahanizi said with an impending UBC application in Court calling for a broader audit by the Auditor General, the Ministry could not let the internal audit to carry on.
Now, with the high court matter out of the way, it remains to be seen if there will be any more push back from Muhakanizi or the UTL administrator Mr Twebaze Bemanya.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
