My 2022 Personalities of the year.

1. Dickson Adomati

While as DRCC of Arua city, he fought corruption, practically monitored all Government programs in the City. Was so down to earth and delivered to a scale of 98%. Even when he was dropped, he continued supporting President Museveni, he took his usual positive energy to Arua Academy, revamped it and has become an exemplary leader not only in public affairs but in the private sector. He is such a visionary leader that West Nile has a future in him.

She is the definition of the adage educate a girl child and you will educate a nation, valiant, fearless and committed, she spearheaded a historical wave of citizens demand for better services, under her leadership the sleeping UEDCL woke up and today West Nile is connected to at least some 33 KVA of electricity. Her future is bright moreover she is the backbone of Onduparaka FC which has rewritten contemporary history of football in Uganda.

3. Hon. Feta

If there is a politician who has stood out from the crowd amongst the new breed of Politicians in West Nile, it is Hon. Feta. At every given opportunity, he has pushed the West Nile agenda, from bad roads, lack of connectivity of WN to the National grid, to being down to earth. Hon. Feta is so outspoken. A real representative of the people.

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.

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