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.

By Editor
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.

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...

By Editor
Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.
