KAMPALA — Dr. Miria Rukoza Koburunga Matembe has prayed for the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa and asked God to remove any wrong person around him. 


"I want to thank you Lord for your son, the Right Honorable Thomas Tayebwa," Dr. Matembe prayed during a courtesy call to the deputy speaker on Tuesday. 


Dr. Matembe who worked in the Ugandan government as minister for ethics and integrity from 1998 to 2003, after which time she became a member of the Pan-African Parliament representing Uganda said  Tayebwa who is only 41 holds a position of great responsibility and that he needs God's guidance and protection. 


"I was telling him that at his age, he is equal to my third born but you have been able to give him this position of Honor and responsibility Lord God. Because your word says that all authority comes from you. I want to pray that you continue to bless him in this seat," she prayed asking God  that "you make him like David".


"That in his heart, you put it in him like David decided to shepherd his people with a skilful hand and integrity of the heart. Will you give him that integrity of heart that you gave to your King, whom you loved most, King David," Dr Matembe, who was a member of the Constitutional Commission that created Ugandan Constitution prayed. 


She petition God to bless whatever the Deputy Speaker touches and also guide him all the time that "he looks to you all the time."


'May you give him an undivided heart that he may fear you with all his heart and praise you forever. May you protect him, May you guide him, May you be his rock forever," Dr. Matembe, a strong proponent for and an advocate of women's rights in Uganda said in a prayer to God.  


 Dr. Matembe has been a lecturer on law and English at the Chartered Institute of Bankers, also in Kampala. 


A lawyer by profession, Matembe is also the author of several articles and a book, Miria Matembe: Gender, Politics, and Constitution Making in Uganda, on women in politics.


Dr. Matembe is a former member of the Pan-African Parliament. 


While serving there, she was chairperson of the Committee on Rules, Privileges and Discipline a permanent committee of the parliament.


Tayebwa said Dr. Matembe's prayer was motherly and thanked her  for interceding for him. 


"Our personal prayers can move mountains, but the most powerful of all; the sincerest; the most effective prayer is one from a mother. When mothers pray, God listens. Thank you Mama Miria Matembe for interceding for me; for turning my office into the Lord’s meeting venue. Amen!, Tayebwa wrote on Twitter. 


Dr. Matembe's  endorsement of Deputy Speaker comes only two days after the West Ankole Diocese, Rev. Johnson Twinomujuni backed Tayebwa’s firm position on homosexuality and abortion.


Bishop Twinomujuni described both practices as unchristian and ungodly. 


Bishop Twinomujuni, a critic of homosexuality also praised Tayebwa’s resolve to protect the Ugandan and Church values and moral fibre intact amid mounting pressure from the western world.

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...

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...
