Why do our Leaders from Westnile region love fighting each other.

In the Tenth Parliament (2016 - 2021), we had a one Hon Minister, a purpoted Engineer who was fighting and advising President Museveni not to connect Westnile region to the National Grid.

Further Intel revealed that, the Minister was actually pocketing cash bribes from some Petrol station owners and Generator dealers in Westnile region.

They believed if Westnile region is connected to the National Grid, it would affect their petrol station and Generator Business!

So, the money hungry Minsiter was bribed to misinform the president and subdue the developmental efforts of Westnile MPs in the Tenth Parliament.

Again this time 4-Nov-2021 , is another scheme of fighting plotted by Ora County MP Lawrence Songa, as reported by Hon Atima Jackson of Central Division Arua City.

It is believed that, Hon Songa informed UNRA not to work with Hon Atima in regards to roads in the region, may it be because Hon Songa Lawrence is now the elected Chairperson for Westnile Parliamentary Caucus.

Let's first understand what these two positions stipulate; Regional Whip (Appointed by Government Chief Whip) VS Westnile Parliamentary Caucus Chairperson position.

First and foremost, "Regional Whips" are enshrined in the Law, whose superior (Appointing Authority) is the Government Chif Whip as stipulated in The Adminstration of Parliamentary Act which was assented to by the President on 31-5-2006.

Coming to the "Regional Parliamentary Caucuses" , these are just Unisons formed for a common goal.

By virtue, the powers of "Regional Whips" actually overrides the powers of "Chairpersons of Regional Parliamentary Caucuses".

However, whenever there is "Struggle for Power" in any aspect, it crashes Development and Service Delivery for the common good of people (servants).

The question for now is, When shall we as Westnile region stop fighting each other as we seek to develop our region and Country?.

Can't Hon Songa Lawrence come at a round table with Hon Atima Jackson, since Hon Atima is his superior by virtue ?.

These are my personal views and Opinions alone.

They are not in anyway affliated with anyone or any Organization or any Politician or any Group or any Party or any Foreign Entity i may have communication or links with.

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. "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 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...
