The residents of Eruba parish and Kuluva parish through their project Chairperson for Adumini bridge construction project in Vurra Sub-county, Mr Abdul Malik Abashi have on 6-March-2023 castigated their area MP Hon Yovan Adriko for being financially stingy and uncooperative in helping them to build a community access bridge in that links two parishes in Vurra Sub-county and also acts as a shortcut to Arua City.

Speaking at the bridge work, Mr Abdul Malik said, as a community, they have written several letters, made several calls including sending messages to the MP for any amount of assistance to help them in this bridge work but up to date, the MP has turned deaf ears for them.

We even tried through his campaign agents and still in vain, - Mr Abdul noted.

The community members have also cited sabotage from their area LC III Chairman Hon Pariyo Joel whom the communities have accused of isolating and speaking ill about their initiative to save lives by constructing "Adumini" a death trap bridge.

The appalling state of the bridge has caused death to one man and others injured during previous flooding.

Since the inception of this community project, it is only the Deputy RDC Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil who has so far donated 100,000 Shs and 10 bags of cement, Hon Anguzu Solomon secretary for finance gave 100,000 Shs and LC V Chairman Hon Alfred Okuonzi lobbied high quality culverts worth 18,000,000 Shs from Ministry of Works and Transport.

The community project Chairperson in his conclusion remarks, appealed to office of the RDC to help them write letters to lobby for resources from some of the NGOs in WestNile region who can be able to donate for them resources to finish the project.

From the initial estimation, 80 bags of cement have been required to complete the work, of which, the community managed to mobilize 40 bags of cement with 4 million shs which have all been used.

The community through its Chairperson Mr Malik Abdul, have now appealed to any well wisher to help them in raising the remaining money 4 million shs and 40 bags of cement.

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 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.

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