LC V Chairman Hon Alfred Okuonzi Commends Media, NGO Networks for Doing “Checks & Balances” on Government.

By Editor



In a lengthy engagement meeting organized by WestNile Civil Society Network held on Tuesday 6-Dec-2022 at Tropical Suites Hotel to assess the performance of Government and different sectors amongst the communities, the Arua District LC5 Chairman Hon Alfred Okuonzi has thanked the Media fraternity and the various none profit organizations like “WestNile Civil Society Network” and others that are doing what they can, to monitor, awaken and put to task different government departments, organizations and as well as individuals occupying various positions in WestNile region and Uganda.

Hon Alfred said, these days, many of the Citizens seem to dodge away their responsibilities of holding government and other departments to be accountable by sitting near by the roadsides just to beg for some small small monies, which he loosely pronounced in Lugbara language “Afazi weere yoya”.

The people should not mortgage their responsibilities, he added, as he continued to thank “Media” and “NGO Networks” for single-handedly  continuing to play the role which is supposed to be the role of majority of the Citizens.

The Hon LC5 also responded to some issues like increasing teenage pregnancies, where he quoted from the available statistics, that there are 40 young girls who are getting pregnant daily bringing the total number of teenage pregnancies to over 1500 monthly in Arua District.

This, he said is majorly factored by poor parenting by many parents who let their children go like astray animals.

As people will be going home, at 9pm and 10pm, you find many young children coming out to the trading centers and one wonders why and what is happening, Hon Alfred Okuonzi averred.

Stay tuned for more updates and news on regional, national and international matters ranging from Politics, Sports, Business, Health, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Science and Technology.

By Editor
📸: Gen Abel Kandiho. On 9-December-2021, USA slapped sanctions against the then CMI Commander Gen Abel Kandiho. 📸: Gen Kale Kayihura. On 9-December-2022, UK slapped sanctions against former Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura. 📸: Commissioner General of Prisons, Johnson Byabashaija. Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda. We ask, has USA and UK made December as an LCM to slap sanctions against high ranking government officials in Uganda even when the sanctions just remain on paper without deeper investigations to ascertain logical conclusions or remedy to that effect ?. #iip_updates  #Information_is_Power  #we_inform_the_uninformed

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...
