https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 By Political Party affiliations and ideologies, he may not be in the same faction with others but his Virtue and Enthusiasm are franchising to eulogise him since he is a Personality of vigor.

The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind. Apart from amending Laws, the Other roles of MPs are for National Duties but the greatest endeavor is beneficial to the Local Voters of the District or Province or County or Municipality. Of course, every Political act could be construed as consistent with such doctrines.

WHY THE POLITICS OF MR EJIKU ROBERT IS AS UNIQUE AS HIS NAME.

The Member of Parliament Aspirant for Arua Central Division - Arua City, Mr Ejiku Robert is as unique as his name, when it comes to politics of party. He never minches his words. This humanity man is not only a gift to the NRM Party he ascribes to but he is also a gift to the People of Arua and WestNile Region. He never in particular praises President Museveni and National Resistance Movement (NRM) Party, but rather he praises what President Museveni and NRM Government has successfully achieved for the People of Uganda. Mr Ejiku Robert is not thirsty and in hurry to be known and start taking selfies with President Museveni and other big NRM members, because Mr Ejiku knows time factor and hardwork are the core principles to Popularity and Praising. He believes in time and hardwork as the Bible says. Unlike some Aspiring Candidates despite of been less contributing to NRM Party, to WestNile Region and Uganda, their only ego are to feel known to President Museveni. But why 😆...

LANGUAGE IS ONE OF THE FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN VOTING LEADERS. #Episode_One.

https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 Effective representations start by verbal expressions. Verbal expressions start by words. Words convey speech. Speeches are best delivered in Languages. The Official and widely spoken Language in rural and urban areas of Uganda, is English. Therefore;- Vote Mr Collins Dramani for the NRM Chairpersonship position in Maracha District, 2021 to 2026. Mr Collins is not Corrupt and he is fluent in speaking. He is not like some of the Contestants who not only stammer, but the worst of it all, their hands are shooked in bad leadership code of conduct tendencies and Language barrier. Otherwise, the fate of effective representation will be crippled if we support and vote for Candidates who can not speak English. It must only be Mr Collins Dramani, who knows how to articulate issues. #Vote #Dramani_Collins #osutayusuf https://osutayusuf.blogspot.com/2020/07/language-is-one-of-factors-to-consider.html

Joseph Kabila Still Powerful and Influential in the Politics of Congo.

Joseph Kabila, the gentleman farmer. https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 Officially, he stepped down in January 2019, retiring after 18 years at the helm of the biggest country in sub-Saharan Africa. But nearly 18 months on, former president Joseph Kabila remains a powerful figure, wielding influence in the murky politics of the Democratic Republic of Congo through a network of followers and a forced coalition with his successor. “Kabila, come back quickly so we can restore order,” his supporters chanted on Thursday as they marched in Kinshasa, where the coalition with backers of President Felix Tshisekedi is in trouble and heads are rolling. Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga has publicly denounced a decision by Tshisekedi to replace two pillars of the former Kabila regime: the army’s inspector general and the president of the Constitutional Court. Kabila handed the presidency to Tshisekedi after elections in December 2018, in the first peaceful transfer of power since independence...

Researchers Reveal New Security Flaw Affecting DJI Drones.

Cybersecurity researchers have revealed security issues in the Android app developed by Chinese drone-maker Da Jiang Innovations (DJI) that comes with an auto-update mechanism that bypasses Google Play Store and could be used to install malicious applications and transmit sensitive personal information to DJI's servers. https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 The twin reports, courtesy of cybersecurity firms Synacktiv and GRIMM, found that DJI's Go 4 Android app not only asks for extensive permissions and collects personal data (IMSI, IMEI, the serial number of the SIM card), it makes of anti-debug and encryption techniques to thwart security analysis. "This mechanism is very similar to command and control servers encountered with malware," Synacktiv said. "Given the wide permissions required by DJI GO 4 — contacts, microphone, camera, location, storage, change network connectivity — the DJI or Weibo Chinese servers have almost full cont...

In 2017, i Hon Oguzu Lee Denis, Hon ADIGA WILFRED Lawrence and Hon Acidri James moved to Ministry of Local Govertment to resubmit documents for proposed town councils and sub counties which had long disppeared from the Ministry.

Following resubmission of all documents with copies acknowledged, I move to enlist support of Parliamentary Chair, Committee on Local Govt and Commissioner for Urban Development, through whom we got a statutory instrument issued to create these administrative units and their details immidiately relayed to Electoral Commission for further management. The next struggle was to be among units to that would receive funds for operations out of the many administr...

"China has now taken its place, alongside Russia, Iran and North Korea, in that shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for cyber criminals in exchange for those criminals being 'on call' to work for the benefit of the state, [and] to feed the Chinese Communist party's insatiable hunger for American and other non-Chinese companies' h...
