THE GENESIS OF 1991 OJAPI AIR RAID VICTIM's COMPENSATION FILE, URGENTLY RAISED IN JULY 2016 BY HON AYAKA ROSE WOMAN MP MARACHA DISTRICT.

By Editor
After the election victory of 2016, she was approached by the NRM chairman of Tara sub county, Ahmed Bran with the letter of the Ojapi air raid victims claims for  compensation  written way back in 2014. 
He said that the matter had not received due attention and that she should help follow this matter.
As one of her key resolutions to deliver justice to the victims, she gave a copy of the claimants letter to the President at State House Entebbe  in July 2016.
One week after her meeting with HE Museveni ,a response was given in a letter dated 12th July 2016 addressed to the Solicitor General to handle the matter.
Since then she has been following it up at different levels including writing to the Prime Minister and raising it on the floor of Parliament.
She said, she is glad the office of the CDF has so far carried two verification exercises on the ground. One last year and another one this week. 
On Wednesday this week when she talked to the victims Chair person during the verification exercises, he sounded hopeful  that something will be done by government  about their compensation.
She asked him to advise the claimants to be hopeful and patient as the processes proceed.
We are hopeful that the government will attend to their claims and I will follow this matter to it's conclusion.

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...

I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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.

However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
