By Editor



The State Minister for Lands Hon. Obiga Mario Kania and the Minister for Northern Uganda Grace Freedom Kwiocwinyi have officially handed over 8 USMID-AF sites in Madi Okollo to the contractors.  The 8 USMID-AF projects are construction of Matangacia market,  Ayavu market,  District Resource centre,  Community Centre at Inde town council,  Resource Centres in Rigbo, Rhinocamp and Ogoko sub counties and play ground at the district headquarters. 


During the ground breaking ceremony,  the State Minister for Lands Hon. Obiga Mario Kania cautioned the contractors against poor quality works and late delivery.  He urged the district officials to  frequently supervise the works to ensure quality. 


"As government we are only after two things and these are quality of works and timely delivery.  If you fail to adhere to these,  we will terminate your contract and award it to someone else. " said Hon. Kania. 


Meanwhile the State Minister for Northern Uganda Hon. Grace Freedom Kwiocwinyi said that she expects the projects to be completed well. Hon. Kwiocwinyi said that as a region,  we are striving for development and it should be a collective responsibility. Hon. Kwiocwinyi further urged the people to embrace Parish Development Model which is for poverty eradication.  Hon. Kwiocwinyi said that if the monies in PDM are not used meaningful,  poverty will continue to persist in the households.


The MP for Lower Madi Hon Afidra Ronald complained of delays in work schedule for these USMID-AFprojects.  Hon. Afidra said that with the rate of works, the district might be among the last to complete their projects. Hon. Afidra also said that he will ensure the contractors employ local people because it is one of the ways for the communities to benefit from the projects. Hon. Afidra requested for prioritisation of a master plan for the district and roads under USMID-AF.  


 Madi Okollo District LCV Chairperson Drabe Ismael appreciated government of Uganda for these projects.  Drabe also reminded the government under the leadership of HE President Museveni of his pledge of constructing the security road from Panyimur to Madi Okollo to Obongi to Moyo and South Sudan. He requested for fulfilment of this plegde since it will improve connectivity and development. 


The CAO Madi Okollo Ezaruku Kazimiro commended the leaders of West Nile for their developmental spirit. Ezaruku said that he is happy that the leaders of West Nile have gathered to talk about nothing but development. 


USMID-AF project manager for the district Engineer Aluonzi Godfrey said that most of the projects which were handed over in May are still at foundation level. Meanwhile he commended the contractors whose projects were signed this month and have started site clearance. Eng. Aluonzi said that with the speed of works, if they don't relax on the way, they are bound to complete on schedule. Aluonzi informed that the project in lot 2 that is the construction of road from Fundo landing site to Yoro base camp which is yet to be advertised. 


Madi Okollo District has 9 USMID-AF projects in lot one and 2 which cost 11 billion shillings. 


I thank you all.

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 ...
