THE DECISION TAKEN BY NRM CHAIRPERSONS OF COMMITTEES IN PARLIAMENT TO REJECT FORMATION OF CONSTITUENCY TASK FORCE NEEDS APPLAUSES - BY MATUA JOB RICHARD.

                               Matua Job Richard.

- Dear Ugandans, I am profoundly grateful to hear that a section of NRM MPs have turned down the suggestion of forming Constituency task force in preference to Constituency Development fund.
- As one of the many strong critics of that suggestion, I take this opportunity to thank the NRM MPs and particularly Chief Whip Hon Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu for their wise decision. You cannot be beaten twice and fail to learn. The injuries inflicted by the first theft of Public money are still fresh and to proceed to add on the injuries is very bad.
- I also thank the public for standing United and Completely rejecting intimidations by some few unscrupulous MPs supported by the Speaker Hon Kadaga.

I want everyone to know that President did the right thing by Condemning the MPs. 
I also want everyone to know that the few MPs who went to meet the President did so on their own lobby but NOT on the invitation to the President. It is wrong for these MPs to continue misusing the name of the President I this saga. Their claim that the President suggested for formation of Constituency task force is extremely dangerous. It pushes blame on the innocent President who was put under duress by the MPs. This blackmail of the President by Corrupt NRM MPs must stop.

- Going forward, we must seriously review the functions of MPs. I have intensely revised the 1995 Constitution of Uganda and particularly chapters 1,2,3,5 & 6.
I was particularly happy to see article 70 which describe my most preferred system, the most suitable Movement Political System, which emphasized individual merits. This business of wrong doers flucking into Parliament using Party support could least happy in our correct movement System of Governance.

Therefore, I put forward the following suggestions for public discussion;

1. The number of MPs should be reduced to ensure election of Competent people, enhance quality of debate, provide enough resources to ensure high quality Delivery. 
This will also reduce Financial Burden on tax pays caused by unnecessarily big number of MPs.
Each district should be represented by 2 MPs( 1 male and 1 female).
This will also promote gender balance. All other Interest groups like Army, the PWDS, YOUTHS etc must have equal composition in terms of male and female representatives.
This requires amendment of Article 78(1), (a), (b), (c), (d).

2. Return to Movement Political System which emphasized individual merits. 
Justification:
- Under this system, politics was not so much commercialized. Many competent but financially Challenged people were able to compete and win.
- This confusion created by party politics was not there. 
- This will also eliminate the so called caucuses which are turning into a pseudo Parliament undermining debate in the real house.
- This will ensure election of Nationalists and Patriotic People than having hackers  or dealers in a house of Representatives.
- This will redeem the tarnished image of the Parliament.
- Above all Majority of Ugandans have never understood the real dotrine of the current Multi party Political System 15 years after it was restarted.

3. The Speaker of Parliament and Chief Justice should be elected by all Ugandans.
- This will ensure that the leaders of the three arms of government are directly answerable to the people and must work in the greater interest of the people.
- This will prevent impunity done by Speakers in Parliament on premise of being selected by Parties.

I once again thank these NRM MPS who agreed to avoid creation of the Constituency task force. You did the right thing and I thank you for that.

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...

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...

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...
