Following thorough consultations in the health facilities and locals in Maracha concerning the challenges that affect them in the Healthcare systems, the District Woman MP has bought over 1500 Baby Coats to be given to expectant mothers in Maracha.

Hon Jennifer said, she has written letters to the Ministry of Health concerning this particular plight our expectant mothers in the District face during labour.

Since some of the government programs take time to be responded to, i felt, i can do something at the moment to save the situation as we wait for feedback from Ministry of Health in regards to this dilemma, She narrated.

When we interviewed some Women about this program, they said, they are so happy for Hon Jennifer to have thought of them on top of the other achievements she has done for the People.

The Women said, they have been having a lot of challenges during labour, one of which are lack Baby Coats to carry the new born.

Mr Drapari, another resident we interviewed said, Hon Jennifer Driwaru has waved off some of the expenses on them as Men and they will be diverting the monies (25,000 Shs price of Baby Coat in the market) to buy other basic need items in the family.

We asked the Hon Woman MP about the intervals of distributing these Baby Coats, she said, the official launch of these items will be soon and size (number) of dispatching them will be based on the population and birth data obtained from all the Health Center III, IV and St Joseph's Hospital Maracha.

The eloquent Hon Jennifer was quick to add that, this is not the last program but it will continue to run in phases.

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...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

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. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists.

However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
