OPEN LETTER BY ACEMA BENARD, TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA, YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI, REGARDING THE COVID-19 FUNDS DONATED BY VOLUNTEERS (WELL WISHERS).

Your Excellency, when it comes to combating the the coronavirus, saving the lives of ugandans, iam with you and I appreciate your success and efforts aimed at containing the spread of coronavirus in the country by instituting coronavirus taskforce in every district which is commendable work.

However, your Excellency what made me to write this letter is the complaint arising from the public over the money donations, or contributions received from individuals in regards to the control and containment of the pandemic which is the new vision of today that ALL THE MONEY COLLECTED BY TASKFORCE TO FIGHT COVID-19 WAS STOLEN.

Your Excellency Basing on this, It is a welcoming idea if you can set a response transparent taskforce team with the primary role to ensure and instill integrity, accountability and transparency in the utilization and management of funds appertaining to covid-19 response activities.

Iam sure this can minimize such cases of mismanagement and misappropriation of donor funds and individual contributions.

I beg to stop. But the courage to write this letter is for the interest of the indigents (the vulnerable people)

Cc. The office of the prime minister of Ugandans.

Cc. The office of the speaker of parliament of uganda.

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...

They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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.
