By Editor



Former Electoral Commission boss who is now the incumbent National Water and Sewerage Cooperation (NWSC) board Chairperson, Eng Badru Kiggundu has on Friday 9-Dec-2022 commissioned a piped water project in Vurra Constituency , Arua District.

The project whose groundbreaking was done in 2019, has taken three years to get completed by National Water and Sewage Cooperation.

Hon Candini Luiji, the Councillor for Arivu Sub-county who is also the secretary for works and technical services in the District said, NWSC and Arua District are always working in collaboration and conducting regular meetings.

With safe water coverage in Arua District standing at 49.1%, He pointed at Arua - Bondo road, Dubai - Ajia road bordering Madi Okollo District and Arua - Vurra custom road as some of the areas in Arua District where NWSC has done tremendous work.

Hon Candini applauded NWSC for playing pivotal role in Arua District and WestNile region in their quest for access to safe water in the Country.


The District LC5 Chairman Hon Okuonzi Alfred said, despite the District's access to safe water standing at 49.1%, that is very low compared to the national target of 75%.

He uttered that, out of all the four Sub-counties in Arua District, it is Vurra Sub-county wich has the least coverage of access to safe water, a narrative the eloquent LC5 Chairman said it is caused by the high altitude of the Sub-county.

Hon Okuonzi appealed to NWSC to have some of the outstanding portions of areas in the District to be connected to safe water as soon as possible.

He mentioned Kawuanzeti health center IV, Eruba - Anzu - Opia raod, Nyio market and entire Logiri Sub-county as some of the facilities and areas in Arua District whose service deliveries have been affected because of no access to better safe water.

The LC5 Chairman also mentioned rising domestic violence as one of the challenges caused by lack of accessible safe water in the District, a statement he said, many women who go out to fetch water at times wait upto night hours and when they arrive home, some of their husbands turn chaotic and beat them for staying out at night in disguise of waiting to fetch water.

Hon Okuonzi in his closing remarks, praised Eng Badru Kiggundu and the entire NWSC officials in WestNile region and Uganda for the unity, professionalism and love they have continued to showcase.

The Deputy Resident District Commissoner for Arua District, Mr Ham Ezama said, one of their roles as RDCs is to mobilize people to embrace productive government programs and he therefore urged the community members to fill application forms so that they will be connected to safe piped water projects.


The Deputy RDC thanked President Museveni for his visionary leadership in steering this Country, something he said is the reason for all these developments taking place.

He also thanked the Chairperson for NWSC Eng Badru Kiggundu and the entire board members of NWSC for their hardwork, unity and love to serve the people of Uganda.


The Deputy Managing Director (Technical Services) for NWSC Eng Amayo Johnson pledged more water projects to be extended to the affected areas in Arua District.

Eng Amayo said, with the support of former minister and MP for Vurra Constituency Eng Ajedra Gabriel Aridru who brought some Koreans to do visibility study in the District which has helped them so much to come up with this project and many others in the other areas.



The Chairperson of NWSC, Eng Badru Kiggundu congratulated the government of Uganda under the able leadership of President Museveni for creating the enabling environment for all these services and development to flourish in WestNile region.

The board Chairperson Eng Kiggundu also thanked Deputy RDC Ezama Ham Mizamil, LC5 Chairman Hon Okuonzi Alfred, Arua District officials and NWSC management of WestNile region for being dedicated and loyal in their line of duty.

He promised more development for the people of WestNile region.

In his closing remarks, Eng Badru Kiggundu warned the Men in Arua District and WestNile to desist from beating their women over delays in the streams when fetching water.



Excited community members in Vurra Constituency, Arua District composed songs and poems for NWSC for their diligence in service delivery.

Chairperson of the Board, Eng Kiggundu, Deputy RDC Ham and Eng Amayo the Deputy managing director (technical services) for NWSC appreciated the 7 women who composed the song and poem, with a token of 210,000 Shs.

The women praised Badru Kiggundu, entire NWSC team and Arua District officials for coming to their rescue by launching this water project they have been yarning for over years.

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 ...
