Minister Anite Evelyn While Presiding Over The Signing Of a Memorandum Of Understanding Between The Leaders Of WestNile Cooperative Union And The Officials Of Glovag-Agri Organisation 20 September 2019.

I am very glad to have presided over the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the leaders of West Nile Cooperative Union and the officials of Glovag-Agri which is aimed at promoting commercial food crop production in West Nile.
The 30 years partnership was signed at the union's headquarters at Wandi trading centre in Katrini sub county, Arua district.
During the function, the over 30, 000 farmers affiliated to the union vowed to abondon tobacco production which was monopolized by the BAT and instead start planting crops like sorghum, maize, ground nuts, simsim and soya beans on commercial basis courtesy of the new company.
I thank the farmers for taking this decision which is in line with President Yoweri Museveni's continued appeal for the people of West Nile to stop growing tobacco.
I also thank Joel Aita, the main brain behind the Glovag-Agri company which will support these farmers in market linkage, seed provision and inputs.
On my part, I will try my best to follow up the farmers' request for tractors and trucks from the government as well as pushing for the compensation of the union's properties which were destroyed during the war that ushered in this government to power. Mr. chairman I also pray that you can mobilize us MPs of West Nile to meet with the 20 thousand farmers.

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

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...
