GOVERNMENT OF UGANDA THROUGH ILO, MINISTRY OF GENDER, LABOUR AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT DELIVERS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR URBAN CASH IN CENTRAL DIVISION ARUA CITY.

By Editor


The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development has delivered Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to the 4200 beneficiaries in Arua city.


Urban Cash for Work Programme is a 300,000 dollar Pilot Project designed by MGLSD financed by International Labour Organisation (ILO) only in the Central Division Arua City to support the urban vulnerable in this period of Covid-19 pandemic.


At the time of initiation of the project, Central Division Arua City had 50 cells although it has 52 cells (villages) now.  Each cell has a Project Management Committee and an account in Post Bank Arua City branch and government has already deposited 17,556,000= to implement the programme. There are 84 beneficiaries per cell and each will get 156,000 for 24 days after participating in community work in the cell. Out of the 17,556,000=, 4,452,000= will be used by each committee to procure tools, equipment for the community works. The balance will be paid to the beneificiaries. Government has delivered PPEs to support the beneficiaries including gloves, helmets, reflectors and gum boots.


Speaking while receiving the equipment at the former Arua Hill Division offices Central Division in Arua City, the Deputy Resident City Commissioner Arua City, Mr. Adomati Dickson, thanked President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for allowing ILO to support the programme in Uganda in general but Central Division Arua City in particular. He also lauded MGLSD ably headed by Hon. Min. Betty Among for such a wanainchi friendly project adding that it would go a long way to supporting and enabling recovery of the masses from the effects of Covid-19 in the Central Division Arua City. The DRCC said 49 accounts had already been credited and that it was only Nsambia North cell project account remaining.


Mr. Adomati assured some of the beneficiaries that the only thing remaining was for the Town Clerk Arua City to invite the Minister Gender, Labour and Social Development to come to launch the programme on a date which would soon be communicated to the beneficiaies.


The DRCC  therefore called upon all the beneficiaries to be patient as plans were under way to prepare for the launch adding that once the project was kickstarted, his office would embark on monitoring, inspection and supervision so as to ensure that the programme was free from corruption. He therefore advised the project implementation committee members to be honest and committed so that this pilot programme succeeds in Arua City.

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...
