KAMPALA – Legislators in the 10^th Parliament have approved a request by State House of Uganda seeking for Shs47b as expenditure on inland travels by President Yoweri Museveni to sensitize Ugandans on poverty alleviation in 2021.

The request is contained in the 2020/2021 national budget framework paper that was adopted by Parliament, ahead of the scrutiny of the national budget in April 2020.

The report submitted by Patrick Isiagi, Vice Chairperson Budget Committee highlighted that officials from State House, led by Lucy Nakyobe, State House Comptroller asked Parliament to rein over the Ministry of Finance and see to it that the money is availed to enable the President fulfill his constitutional mandate.

According to the report, in the FY 2020/2021, State House projects an increase in the President’s in land activities in regard to mobilization of masses towards poverty reduction, peace and development.

To implement this activity, State House requires Shs47.072Bn but only Shs28.604Bn is provided leaving a funding gap of Shs18.5Bn.

While presenting the report, Isiagi said, “The Committee recommends that Shs18.5Bn be provided to enable the President execute his mandate conferred upon him by the Constitution.”

Parliament also approved the request by State House to provide Shs7.3Bn to establish and maintain the existing model villages across the country.

The Presidential Affairs Committee undertook on-spot assessment of selected model villages and appreciated the impact on livelihood and welfare that these model villages have on the Community.

During the on spot check, MPs observed that there are only 21 model villages in existence and efforts to ro11 out this intervention to more areas while continuing with the support of the existing ones has an indicative allocation of Shs1.032Bn against Shs8.332Bn desired leading to a funding gap of Shs7.3Bn.

Parliament then called on the Ministry of Finance to have special considerations accorded to the initiative by availing Shs7.3Bn to enable State House roll out the intervention to other parts of the Country.

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...

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
