WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT HOUSEMAIDS ?.

#legallyhers

Although Prossy was 16 years old, the lockdown taught her one thing quickly, hunger did not discriminate against age. So, she left the village and came to Kampala to work as a house maid in someone’s big house after the last maid ran away with ‘auntie’s phone. Even though she eats every day, and life is better, the aunty still ‘cuts’ her money whenever a plate or glass is broken in the house. Even if this is done by auntie’s children who are dozing in the morning as Prossy prepares them for school.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT HOUSE ‘HELPS’?

The employment law says that an employee is a person who agrees to carry out work for another person in return for receiving payment from that person. Therefore, as long as you have a house help (maid) who you pay to do work at home, and who works under your instructions for money, then this person is an employee.

The law also says that it is illegal to deduct the salary of an employee except for payments like taxes and NSSF and things they agreed to earlier like SACCO savings. If you only have less than 5 people working for you at home, then you do not have to pay NSSF.

WHAT ABOUT THE BROKEN GLASSES AND PLATES?

If you did not agree with your maid about what you would do about these, then deducting (cutting) their money amounts to an illegal deduction of their salary and you may be made to refund all that money if they report you to the district labour office. (This is the office where employment complaints are made).

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...
