Deputy Speaker of Uganda Parliament, Hon Jacob Oulanyah Explains Why He Seeks Election as NRM Vice Chairperson Northern Uganda.


By Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah

Friends and my people of Uganda!

My name is Jacob Oulanyah
I am the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, I also represent the people of Omoro county in the Parliament of Uganda.

I am a man of the people and I am calling upon you to vote me as NRM’s National Vice Chairperson for Northern Region, to be a member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of NRM.

The CEC is the highest policy and decision organ of the NRM.

In 2015, I contested for the same position.
I was set to win but in a settlement brokered by the NRM National Chairman, H.E Yoweri. K. Museveni, I respected his guidance to allow the incumbent, my brother Hon. Sam Engola continue for another term. That term is now coming to an end.

Joining the NRM’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) as the Regional Vice Chairperson Northern Uganda will avail me with the platform to be part of the initiators of propositions before it comes to Parliament which is a processing institution.

One of my biggest focus will be on unity; consolidating regional unity to
promote equitable socio-economic transformation.

I will also put emphasis on strategically mobililzing citizens to build the strength
of the NRM and instill loyalty in its membership;

Another area that I feel urgently needs intervention is access to affordable
credit; to boost entrepreneurship among the youth, women, Elders, PWDs and
Veterans; in areas of farming and other businesses.

Lastly, I will center my attention to the Empowerment of NRM structures to
carry out oversight of government service delivery and to take ownership;

Being a part of CEC will facilitate me to seek out the root of issues, ask what the real problem is, givetechnical and informed guidance, so that there is an actual link between Parliament and the policies from CEC. As of now, from my experience, being a Deputy Speaker who does not sit on the CEC is like a pilot flying blind. Additionally, as Deputy Speaker I preside over Parliament without participating in debate
but at CEC I will be able to give my views and influence decision.

Further more, my intention to run for this office is to reorganise how things are done both
within the party and within the region; including making people understand that NRM is a party that can actually move people forward and make them believe and experience it.

I am a tried, tested and trusted leader; my values and principles drive me to continue committing to getting your voices heard, your interests served and your aspirations fulfilled.

I ask for your vote, support me and let us work together to develop the NRM, Northern Region and our country Uganda.

I thank you very much!
I am counting on your vote!

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...
