Part 2; Open Letter by Osuta Yusuf, to President Museveni Over Lacuna in the Passed Computer Misuse Amendment Bill 2022.

Greetings your excellency President Museveni, your family members, countrymen and countrywomen.

I would like to use this opportunity to write the second letter in regards to the above mentioned bill that was passes by the Parliament of Uganda on 8-September-2022.

Your excellency, as you are aware the entire bill is bent on curtailing people's freedom of expression over a range of issues but not much bent on protecting technology itself, i would like to take your attention to one of the clauses in the bill that criminalizes people from speaking their minds about tribal acts and behaviors in the Country.

Your excellency President Museveni, the bill seeks to ban people from speaking on tribal sentiments, which i believe to some extent, is fair to avoid talks that can cause tribal conflicts but we must also look at it from the opposite angle.

Our country has had very many number of government and NGO officials who practice open tribalism by awarding jobs to their relatives even after others have applied for the same jobs.

Using Social Media to express their grievances encouteted from such job has always been a healer to many who are victims of Nepotism and Tribalsim in awarding of jobs, distribution of development and services in the Country.

Your excellency, amending laws to cage people from speaking about nepotism in job sector can not be the solution to address such outburst but it would rather set a time bomb for the Country.

Dear President Museveni, this reminds me of a proverb that says, people begin to heal the moment they feel heard.

And Social Media has always been the platform for many Ugandans to speak their grievances.

Please your excellency, do not ascend to that bill because many officials in government and organisations will abuse the law by using it to give jobs to their relatives and whoever speaks about it will be dealt with by the law.

Such will only pile people's angers that will accumulate with time and may burst against a section of some officials, tribe or even against the government.

I speak all these, for God and My Country.

Thanks.

Yours, Osuta Yusuf.

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 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.

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