MATTER OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE.
By Hon. Woman Member of Parliament for Maracha district, Hon. Rose Atima Ayaka.

SUBJECTS:
1. CONNECTION OF WESTNILE REGION ON THE NATIONAL GRID TO ACCESS HIGH ENERGY OF 132 KVA.
2. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN WESTNILE REGION.
Rt. Hon Speaker, the process of connection of Westnile Region on the National Grid of Electricity so as to transmit strong/high voltage Electricity that allows industrial use has been delayed with allegations of attempt to divert part of the money meant for the project.
The reliable information available indicates that the planned 132 KVA is secretly been altered to transmit either 33 or 66 KVA of Electricity.
The Substation to be constructed in Muni too is not on progress. No compensation of land owners from Odiayanyadri to Bondo has  never been done.What is happening? Can this house be informed?
Rt. Hon. Speaker, this matter is causing a lot of tension in the region and the stakes are so high, hence clarity must be established about it with full knowledge of the Parliament of Uganda.
There are precedents of such good projects going wrong at implementation levels. For example, the weak Electricity transmitted to Karamoja and the Isimba Bridge among others.
Rt. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members of this August House, this matter is serious and the previous bad implementation of such projects even raise the seriousness further.
Therefore, can the responsible Minister  make statement here on the progress of the project, clearing this mind boggling allegations of foul plays.

On Subject 2, Rt. Hon. Speaker, the rural ELECTRIFICATION  program is not taking shape in many areas in the region. Infact the newly created Terego district does not have single electric pole or wiring done.
The available information is that the money for REA has been eaten at Ministry of Energy.
The question is: What is wrong? Can the responsible Minister too make statement on this project.
The people of Westnile, need answers to these questions.

Thank you so much Rt. Hon. Speaker.

We Bring You Brief Series of Sanctions Against Uganda Government Officials.

📸: Gen Abel Kandiho. On 9-December-2021, USA slapped sanctions against the then CMI Commander Gen Abel Kandiho. 📸: Gen Kale Kayihura. On 9-December-2022, UK slapped sanctions against former Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura. 📸: Commissioner General of Prisons, Johnson Byabashaija. Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda. We ask, has USA and UK made December as an LCM to slap sanctions against high ranking government officials in Uganda even when the sanctions just remain on paper without deeper investigations to ascertain logical conclusions or remedy to that effect ?. #iip_updates  #Information_is_Power  #we_inform_the_uninformed

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...
