Hon Alfred Okuonzi Rallies for Industrial Institute for Greater Arua and Startup Capital for Vocational Institue Gradutes.


The LC5 Chairman for Arua District, Hon Alfred Okuonzi has on 4-Jan-2023 echoed a need to have an industrial Institute established at greater Arua to serve the people of Arua District, Maracha District, Ayivu East / West, Terego District, Obongi District and Arua City.

The vocal LC5 Chairman made the remarks at Zeu, Zombo District during the first graduation ceremony of Students at WestNile Presidential Initiative Institute for Skilling the Youths.

His submission was backed up by evidence on numbers, where he said, Adjumani District hosts similar Presidential Initiative Institute for skilling the Youths but it only serves students from five (5) Districts in that region and yet that region and WestNile region are given the same slots for students to join the trainings.

In the last intake that just ended in December last year 2022, total of 440 slots were given for the two Institutes, one in Zombo District which is serving 8 Districts, admitted 220 students and another in Adjumani District which is serving 5 Districts, also admitted 220 students.

The LC5 Chairman thanked the Commander-in-Chief HIS Excellence President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for thinking about Young people who dropped out of school due to school fees related challenges and had no skills in any field.

He said, he is overwhelmed by happiness after the successful training and Graduation of these Youths who were initially unskilled, adding that, the issue of unemployment which has all along been a thorn in their flesh will at least be sorted slowly   by slowly through this noble Institute which is producing skilled Youths.

Hon Alfred Okuonzi's request was seconded by Ayivu East Constituency MP Hon Feta Geoffrey, who said, greater Arua urgently needs its own Institute to serve the intended purpose to avoid congestion and delays in the hub of skilling Youths who had dropped out of School.

The LC5 Chairman Hon Okuonzi also appealed to the government to offer some money as startup capital for the graduates, a request which was heeded to and all the 220 graduates 🎓 were given 100,000 Shs each as start up capital.

Chief guest of the ceremony was, State House Comptroller Mrs Jane Barekye.

In attendance was, State Minister for Northern Uganda Hon Grace Kwiyucwiny, Arua District Deputy RDC Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil, Zombo District RDC Lt Colonel (Rt) Alitema Pius, Ayivu East Constituency MP Feta Geoffrey, Ora County MP Songa Lawrence, parents across the 8 Districts and other invited Dignitaries.

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...

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 ...
