MINISTRY OF ENERGY & MINERAL DEVELOPMENT (UETCL) HEADED BY HON. DR. RUTH NANKABIRWA SSENTAMU DELIVERS TWO TRANSFORMERS TO ARUA SUB-STATION.

By Editor



Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development through UETCL has delivered two (2) transformers to Muni sub-station construction site in a bid to expedite electrical works at the site. The transformers aboard two trailers arrived at the site yesterday, 15/03/2022. This was witnessed today, Wednesday, 16th February, 2022 by the Deputy Resident City Commissioner, Adomati Dickson while monitoring the construction site. The visibly excited DRCC thanked UETCL and the contractors for the stride so far made three and a half weeks since he last visited the site.


The overall consultant for the project, Eng. Kirambi Aramadhan from New Plan said, "there were 252 gantry foundations concretely erected and two (2) foundations for the installation of the two voltage transformers. Current transformers would also be installed, lighting towers, current breakers and copper installations for earthing had also begun." The consultant estimated the overall civil works to be at about 80% adding that soon they would start block works at the control room since the pillars and the top had already been cast pending roofing.


The site consultant further said, "the general transmission works of especially construction of pylons and wires is at about 50% connecting Karuma-Kole-Gulu-Olwiyo-Nebbi and Arua sub-station as per their last meeting." He further added that swampy areas were handled first but there had been a delay arising from compensation issues generally.


The Health, safety and environment Head at the sub-station, Mr. Sam Otibok explained that there had been a delay in the construction of the emergency guard/security house, water tank used to put off fire because of change in architectural design of entrance to the station. According to him, they were constructing the emergency oil tank in case of oil spills from the transformers. They hoped to finish them soon.


The Deputy Resident City Commissioner commended the contractors for the progress so far made saying, at that speed the works at the sub-station were likely to be completed within the stipulated period. The DRCC called upon the government to engage the contractors working on transmission lines so as to harmonize with the construction of the various sub-stations in order to meet the contract period.


Mr. Adomati lauded President Yoweri Museveni and his Energy and Mineral Development Minister Hon. Dr. Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu for their tireless efforts put to ensure West Nile is connected to the National grid. The Deputy RCC also thanked Members of Parliament from West Nile sub-region especially Hon. Atima Lee Jackson 'Buti and Hon. Feta Geofrey who have always spared their busy schedule to make efforts to follow electricity issues.


If the construction of the sub-stations and transmission lines are undertaken at the current pace, West Nile could be connected to the National grid before the end of this year.

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...

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
