Former Ayivu County MP Atiku Benard Announces Withdrawal from Controversies Surrounding Degazettement of Barifa Forest for Ecotourism.

By Editor

 Good morning dear friends? I am sure most of you are aware about the current discussions about Ayivu, Barifa Central Forest Reserve and Tribalism accusations in which my name has been dragged maliciously to damage my reputation and personality. No body knows what I have endured since 2014 when we started the journey of Arua City until today. I have thought of many options to defend myself from some of the attacks but have come to conclude I will not win the battle as a person and therefore need to surrender all to God Almighty. From today onwards please count me out of the politics of Ayivu and Arua City. Whatever I did in the past wrong or right I stand responsible but anything from today onwards please have me excused! God bless you all.

    Arua City politics needs to grow better NOT bitter. There seems to some sections of people bent on derailing city growth. Arua is no longer the Municipality we knew, it's a City. We should avoid politics of chasing away investors, let's look at a developed City instead. And development needs all to participate be it locals or non locals.

    Let's understand and agree that we can not always do it alone but we need someone to help us do it. Give an opportunity for an investor, you will see the changes you wished for but you chase away an investor, you will envy the developments you hoped for from others.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
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 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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

By Editor
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.

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...
