#FEDERALISM. President Museveni Fingerpointing; The Initial Non-existence of East African Community (EAC) Member States Fueled Genocides, Corruptions and Mass Killings By Former Leaders of Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya and S. Sudan.

General Idi Amin Dada (Former President of Uganda).

President Museveni says he was assigned by the East African Community Summit to sensitise East Africans on the need for the federation.

He apparently looked at the problems of rising levels of L. Victoria, desert locusts currently troubling all the East African countries as well as the coronavirus pandemic.

Museveni says if the East African federation had succeeded, East Africa would be where India is today.

God is the one who put East Africans together. What God has put together no man should put asunder, he said.

“Uganda is the bedroom, Kenya is the sitting room, Tanzania is the other bedroom, DR Congo is another room,” Museveni explained.

Museveni said Tuesday that if the federation had been formed then, Idi Amin would not have come to power, massacres of Burundi would not have happened, the problems of Congo  would not have happened, the issue  of South Sudan would have taken shorter time to solve, genocide in Rwanda would not have happened, and managing this crisis would have been much easier in a consolidated way. 

“In my job as the champion for the East African Federation, I thought I should tell the people that you have got to work with the other East Africans if they are to unite.”

He added: “Mwalimu Nyerere talked, you didn’t listen to him, he left. And now you are the ones inheriting these problems.”

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

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. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
