"I Am Not a Ghost", Geoffrey Oloya Responds to Uganda Government After Reports Indicate that, "He" the First Beneficiary of Covid-19 Cash Relief is an Imposter.



The first recipient of the Shs100,000 covid-19 cash relief from the government of Uganda, the famous Boda Boda rider Geoffrey Oloya has said he is no “ghost”.

The Boda Boda rider who appeared after several months of being unreachable by Mobile Phone presented himself to Gulu City Authorities so that they can witness he is human and indeed a Boda Boda rider contrary to reports.

The man who rose to prominence after receiving a phone call from Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja in the process of following up with the initial recipients, became an instant ‘enemy’ of the people after confirmed reports he was an impostor.

During a meeting between members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for local government and officials of Gulu City, it was revealed that Oloya had received the money as a wrong target.

Gulu City Town Clerk Moses Otimong convincingly stated they have no one by the name of Geoffrey Oloya on the lists submitted for relief and even the only Oloya on the list did not receive the money.

Otimong swore that the number attached to Geoffrey Oloya has been unreachable ever since the Prime Minister made a phone call on July 9th,2020.

However, in a statement by the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development, Oloya appeared to dispel such rumors, because he was “disturbed by the publicity around him”.

In the statement, the Ministry says Oloya claimed network issues were behind his phone being off.

“I have been busy in my garden in Nyamukino village, Lumulu Sub County at the far end of Nwoya district, where the network is very poor and that’s the reason my line has been unreachable,” Oloya said according to the statement from the Ministry of Gender.

“I first heard of the falsehoods around my name last week when Members of Parliament came to Gulu. I felt so embarrassed because I am a vulnerable person and do boda-boda riding within Gulu city,” he added.

According to the Ministry, Oloya claims he registered through the correct procedures and when the money came he immediately bought seeds of soya and rice “which I went to plant in my garden”.

“This is where the unfortunate news found me,” Oloya said.

He described the reports that label him as a “ghost recipient” as “unfortunate”.

“I want to really thank the government for the support,” he noted.

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. 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...

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...
