Maracha District Leaders Flagoff Shs 1 Billion Road Construction Project, Warn Contractor Against Shody Works.

In a ground breaking meeting that convened today 22-4-2022 at Padruku Village, Oluvu Parish in Awiziru Sub-county, Locals hailed the District Leaders for their Cooperation and Love as a District that resulted into this success.

The 1 Billion Shillings project whose funds have been secured from World Bank, and has been awarded to NABET Construction Company Ltd is expected to be finished in Six Months, according to the Contractor.

Maracha Constituency MP Oguzu Lee Denis who asked for transparency urged the Contractors to recruit area local people in doing the works.

Upon querying which class of construction cement the contractor is going to use for the works, Hon Oguzu tasked the team to use Cement Class "42" for constructing the Bridge, a narrative he said is a recommendation from Ministry of Works and Transport.

The District LC V Chairman Hon Obitre Stephen pleaded to the Contractor, to keep their promise of "Clean Technical Work" as they purported to have done in other parts of Uganda.

He said, they have had many challenges with other Contractors in the District, ranging from Delayed works, Unsatisfactory works, none payment of Workers among others.

To justify his statement, the District Chairman cited an example of unfinished construction work at Curube, where the contructor disappeared and isn't picking their phone calls after getting all the monies yet there are some snags to be completed.

In his closing remarks, the LC5 Chairman warned the Contractor to watch over his staff members regarding their social contact especially in issues concerning "Falling in Love with Ladies" of the local area, a challenge he said is so alarming to the extent once the construction works are finished, the staff leave behind young girls pregnant, a statement, the RDC Mr Ayikobua also reechoed in his speech at the launch of the project.

The Resident District Commissioner Mr Ayikobua Festus who officiated the event, vowed to arrest the contractors for any Mishap that might arise from the construction of the Road, something, he said is becoming a Norm, where many times people blame the NRM Government for either unfinished or shody works done when even it's the technocrats that fail NRM Government.

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...

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...

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.
