Weak Strategic Plans And Implementations Could Manifest into Worse Coronavirus Infections in Uganda - Says Maracha Constituency MP Oguzu Lee Denis.

Lack Of Critical Resources And Strategic Leadership Could Undermine Uganda's Effort to Combat The Spread Of Coronavirus and avert its Damages in All Forms.

According to Action Aid International, Uganda lost 1.4 trillion in tax incentives to companies like Bidco-- resources that could've aided the fight against COVID-19. In 50 days from now, it modelled if we continue the current path, nearly 9.4m Ugandans could be infected with COVID-19 yet fake news has been going round that MoH has spent 120bn in the fight against COVID-19. While this misinformation is to government's knowledge, nobody has come out to deny nor confirm. According to reliable sources, finance so far has only managed to avail Ugx 5bn to MoH and proposed about 250bn to deal with the virus with bulky of the money going to the security forces rather MoH which needs it most. Since January when the virus was confirmed, Uganda only managed to setup committees last week. From reliable sources, Hon. Ruth Aceng and her team who have given her all are getting won out due to inadequate support from government. There is no better time in our country's history to invoke the supplementary appropriations and budget readjustment provisions in laws. That moment is now yet the Executive bestowed with that leadership is adamant. As the curve peaks in a few days, it was hoped necessary supplies would be in place, welfare issues catered for and some sort of economic bailout in place for the most vulnerable to pave way for total lockdown but this doesn't seem forthcoming. According to grapevines, failure to explain why 120bn could not reach grassroots is already demoralizing many frontiners. This is compounded by absence of PPEs and basic supplies. Local governments and RDCs who are key in the fight against COVID-19 are said to be even more demoralised on hearing that they've only been budgeted 20bn and 15bn respectively-- something further bound to undermine efforts to keep speed of spread of the virus at bay. It's at this point that country is yearning for leadership. I hope someone will provide it to save us from COVID-19 which has the potential to cost us life time opportunity.

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. 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...

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...
