Despite Been President, i Am Also a Prisoner Here in Statehouse Because of Covid-19 Lockdown - President Museveni Said.

President Museveni has sympathized with Ugandans regarding the hardships and inconveniences that have been caused by the lockdown on account of the need to protect our people from the danger of Covid-19.

“I, myself, am like a prisoner here in Nakasero and Entebbe, since March,” he said Tuesday while address NRM Central Executive Committee (CEC) members in Kampala.

“I have only managed to sneak out to Karamoja to see the Marbles factory; to Mbale for the Industrial Park; to Jinja, twice, for the rising waters and for the Nytil factory; to Namanve for the factories; to Kasese for the land-slides; to Nakasongola for the fire-fighting vehicles and, recently, to Lubigi and Kasubi for the anti-flooding channel and for the Kasubi market.”

Museveni said everybody should know that he has no alternative.


“We should not be so short-sighted as to think of only business and jobs and forgetting life.”

He said it is not correct or necessary to lose lives on such a big scale as has happened in some countries.

Since so many people have survived this disease, here in Uganda, 1,165 have survived the virus out of the 1,560 that were infected, it gives me a clear hope of a vaccine.

“Yet, we have seen massive deaths in some countries in the World when people do not take firm measures.”

“Here in Uganda, we have by today, lost a total of 15 people.”

He said many of these deaths could have been avoided if they had got to approved Government treatment centers dedicated for this purpose.

The correct procedure is that when you feel sick with flu-like symptoms, stay at your home and ring the nearest Government health center, he noted.

They will alert the nearest Covid-19 monitoring center who will, then, come to the home of the person, take samples and in 24-48 hours, the results will be back.

If the person is found without Covid-19, then that person will be taken to the nearest normal health center.

If found with Covid-19, the person will be taken to the Covid-19 treatment centers in the following places:

(i) Mulago National Referral Hospital; (ii) Entebbe Grade B Hospital;
(iii) China- Uganda Friendship Hospital, Naguru; (iv) Jinja Regional Referral Hospital;


(v) Mbale Regional Referral Hospital; (vi) Masaka Regional Referral Hospital; (vii) Gulu Regional Referral Hospital;

(viii) Lira Regional Referral Hospital;

(ix) Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital; (x) Hoima Regional Referral Hospital;

(xi) Mubende Regional Referral Hospital; (xii) Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital; (xiii) Adjumani Hospital;

(xiv) Soroti Regional Referral Hospital; (xv) Kabale Regional Referral Hospital; (xvi) Moroto Regional Referral Hospital; (xvii) Bombo Military Hospital;

(xviii) and Arua Regional Referral Hospital.

He said almost all the Covid-19 infected persons that have got to the Government treatment centers in time, have healed.

In the meantime, remember that Covid-19 is completely avoidable by doing the following:

(a) Always keeping two (2) metres from one another while in public;

(b) Always wearing a mask in public;

(c) Do not go to the public if you have cold (flu) like symptoms nor should anybody be near you, stay isolated at home. Do not interact with family members. Call Ministry of Health help-line 0800-100-066, for assistance.

(d) Never touch your mouth, your nose or your eyes with unwashed hands;

(e) Always wash your hands with soap and water or use sanitizers to disinfect your hands;

(f) and Always sanitize the surfaces that are used by many people (door-handles, table-tops, chair arm-rests, etc).

“All this is quite tiresome and inconvenient. Putting on masks is quite tiresome.”

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...
