Maracha Constituency Legislator Hon Denis Oguzu Lee Has Written to President Museveni Over Neglect of West Nile Region Tobacco Farmer’s Compensation.

By Editor



Maracha County MP, Hon. Oguzu Lee, also a farmer under the West Nile Cooperative Union has written to H.E the President Museveni over  unpaid dues of tobacco farmers in West Nile. The dues arose from supply of tobacco to companies licensed by government of Uganda.

Hon Oguzu’s letter follows goverments commitment to clear the farmers on behalf of the companies and  several attempts to bring the plight of the West Nile's farmers to the attention of responsible ministries.

According to the MP, following payment of farmers in Bunyoro sub region, farmers in West Nile now feel abandoned.



Earlier on, before budget was approved, Hon. Oguzu Lee and Hon. Leku Joel of Terego had attempted to bring Minister responsible for trade and cooperatives to West Nile to meet with farmers hoping that the meeting would result into allocation of resources in this financial year's budget but their efforts were thwarted by what Oguzu called colleagues "who saw it as a plus" for the two MPs rather than an attempt to salvage the dire condition of the farmers many of who can now not meet the escalating cost of living, according to Oguzu. 



Similar attempt to present the issue on floor of parliament have failed as the issue has mysteriously disappeared from order paper. 



In a letter also copied to the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Planning & Economic Development  as well as Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, Oguzu hopes the president will give directives to the Minister of  Finance to pay the farmers through allowable supplementary expenditure which under the Public Finance Management Act 2015 as Amended can be done without requiring parliamentary approval. 



Asked if he thinks his letter will deliver, Oguzu noted that securing government requires right strategy, skill and correct timing.

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...

        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.

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...
