Is Our Existence in Westnile Region by Mistake or for a Reason ❓.

We have had from the past up to date, a number of senseless wars and fights regarding Political, Social and Cultural governance in our region, with the recent been; 1. a cartel of some people questioning legal process of how MP Denis Lee Oguzu won a bid to develop Barifa forest, 2. MP Songa Lawrence phoning Government agencies not to work with MP Atima Jackson, and the latest is 3. Minsiter Obiga Mario Kania petitioning Minsitry of Public Service over the appointment of retired Ambassador Harold Acema and Rev Cosmas Alule to the District Service Commission of Terego.

Such fights are most times ignited by self-centered individuals on baseless allegations.

What is our generation doing about such brawls ?.

Is it right if we continue keeping silent and abetting these kinds of wars that hamper unity, development and service delivery in our region and Country ?.

It is not better we protest through form of writings and publications to airout our discomfort with such greed infested clicks in our government system ?.

If your existence in Westnile region is by "MISTAKE", you can please remain silent and join the clutches of the power hungry and be part of them in doing Injustice and Disservice to our people! but if your existence in Westnile region is for a "REASON", join us and the team of writers in writing to fight "Injustice, Tribalism and Nepotism" in Westnile and Uganda at large.

Proverb says "The pen is Mightier than the Sword".

It is better we speak our opinions and be labeled "Bribed Writers" than to see evil penetrate through our land and governance systems in Westnile region and Uganda.

My next opinion article will tackle brave man Ambassador Harold Acema's mystery.

Thanks.

Yours Osuta Yusuf.

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.

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...
