Section of Members of Parliament from Westnile Region Have Dismissed the Backlash on Social Media as Baseless and Fuelled by Selfish Interests after Few of their Fellow MPs Staged a Press Conference Without Notifying Majority of the Members.

CLARITY.

I would wish to address a few clarifications over a concern which is trending on Social Media, specifically in WhatsApp groups of Westnile region, about a purported Press Conference for the MPs from Westnile region.

In the circulating rumour, it is alleged that a Press Conference was summoned by Hon Atima Jackson MP for Central Division Arua City, to discuss the intrigues concerning the recent appointments of Permanent Secretaries, which show the entire region of Westnile been sidelined with no single individual from Westnile appointed in any of those positions of #PS.

Where as, i Hon Driwaru Jennifer with the likes of Hon Moriku Kaducu of Moyo District, plus many of our fellow MPs were not formally informed neither briefed nor called on phone to communicate the date and time for the said Press Conference for Westnile Parliamentary caucus, i render them as baseless concoctions by selfish interests from uninformed points of view to blackmail and portray us as people of disunity, enemies of Development and Service delivery to our region.

Despite the fact that Westnile region has a total of about 38 MPs, the organisers of the Press Conference made formal communication to less than 15 MPs, and out of which, only 6 MPs turned out to attend it.

Where is our mistake, as those who didn\"t attend because we were not aware❓.

As me Hon Driwaru Jennifer, where is my mistake that is causing me a backlash and fight from my political opponents ❓.

I forgive those who are being used to fight me (us) on issues where i (we) have no mistake or where i (we) are unaware of.

Members and the people of Westnile region, please, disregard the trending messages meant to fight us, particularly (we) the Women MPs from the region.

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...

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.

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...
