Prime Minister Nabbanja Splashes Money on Market Vendors in Maracha District.

The prime minister of Uganda, while officiating as Guest of Honor at the Saturday 29-10-2022 Thanksgiving ceremony of Maracha East Constituency MP Ruth Lematia Ondoru, Rt Hon Robina Nabbanja dashed the market vendors in Nyadri Market, Maracha Town Council with cash monies sealed in brown envelopes to boost their financial muscle.

The prime minister also handed over another extra money worth 10 million Shs to the area MP Ruth Lematia to be shared amongst the different groups of vendors in Maracha East constituency.

Rt Hon Nabbanja pledged iron sheets for the market vendors who were allocated stalls without roofs and averred that, the iron sheets will arrive soon at the beginning of November-2022.

She said, it’s better such groups of vendors who are suffering in the markets under the sun heat should be backed up with various supports.

Those operating their businesses in the shops are better than these poor women sitting under the sun heat to sale for survival, the Prime Minister answered when one of the people in the market asked her on if she can also visit those in the shops.

Present at the Thanksgiving ceremony were; State Minister for Defence and Veteran Affairs Hon Oleru Huda, State Minister for Northern Uganda Hon Grace Kwiyucwiny, Obongi County MP Bhoka George, Ayivu West County MP Lematia John, Arua District Woman MP Paparu Lillian, Koboko North County MP Musa Noah, Maracha District Woman MP Driwaru Jennifer and Ayivu East County MP Feta Geoffrey.

The six MPs who attended the function also contributed made a financial contribution of 7 million Shs with Maracha District Woman MP Driwaru Jennifer paying 2 million Shs and the other five MPs paid 1 million Shs each towards the initiative to help help the market vendors in Maracha East Constituency.

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...
