#CORONAVIRUS_AWARENESS_UGANDA. MINISTERS AND MPs DISCREDIT ATTORNEY GENERAL OVER COURT ORDERS TO HAULT SHs 10B FOR MPs.

By Editor

Members of the Cabinet on Thursday joined Members of Parliament in disagreeing with the guidance of the Attorney General William Byaruhanga on the court over the 10bn intended to facilitate the House
activities on COVID-19.

● Urban Development State Minister, Isaac Musumba and his Sports counterpart Denis Hamson Obua couldn’t hide their disagreement in
principle with the Cabinet colleague (Byaruhnaga) but had to openly come out and strongly oppose the version that MPs should not use the
money sent to them to nobly fight Coronavirus.

● Obua noted that MPs are not party to the Tuesday High Court ruling and nobody served them the order.
“We are not aware that the petitioners took Members of Parliament to court but the Parliamentary Commission and the Attorney General.”
Musumba warned that a precarious precedence is being created for MPs defeated on the floor of Parliament to rush to court. He said the aspect has been ignored but has serious bearing on the future of the
constitutionally mandated legislative business in the House.

● Abbas Agagab (lawyer) Kitagwenda county MP told Byaruhanga that the order is confusing since Parliamentary Commission has no powers on the individual accounts of MPs in the commercial banks which are also not party to the ruling.

● It was also noted that the judge unilaterally originated and made some orders not even in the prayers of the petitioners.

● Attorney General has the documented history of abandoning Parliament
in some legal battles, significantly denting his legitimacy.

By Editor

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.

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...
