The officiasl from World bank, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban development were on Monday 8-May-2023 left in great shock after the contractor “NIEM ESTABLISHMENT LTD” who was awarded with Ugandan Shillings 1,300,000,000 bridge construction project in Arua District lacks certificate of approval from National Environment Management Authority  (NEMA) six months down the road after the construction project was launched. The 1.3 billion shs project was signed to be executed in 8 months. Amid the fierce querying, the Arua District LC V Chairperson Hon Alfred Okuonzi interjected, and said, Arua District played some role into this, adding that, these funds that have finally been utilized in some of these projects here in the District, were in the past three years returned back to Ministry of Finance over some unexplained circumstances. He said, months later after they were sworn into office, they traveled for a meeting in Mbale, where he raised the issue of World Bank funds sent to the various Districts, being returned back to Kampala by Government, a matter of concern which Wolrd bank took to act upon and directed government of Uganda to  resend back all those monies to the Districts. Therefore, as a District, we had to act by ensuring we get that money for this project to be undertaken as other things will follow along the way, Hon Okuonzi stated. The LC V Chairperson’s statement was backed up by the contractor who said, they had already fulfilled all the requirements to obtain  Certificate of Approval from NEMA to allow them do the construction project. Mrs Christine Kasedde, the World Bank representative wondered, what if NEMA will turn down issuance of the certificate and yet the work has gone to about 50% ?. However, the delegation from Ministry of Lands, Housing & Urban development, Arua District and World bank officials were not only bitter with the contractor about issue of NEMA Certificate but they were also unhappy about the delay of the project completion. Information obtained by our reporter indicates that, the 1.3 billion project was launched in November 2022 and the contract period signed is 8 months. The delegation asked the contractor on which miracle he is going to perform to ensure construction of the two bridges are completed within these remaining two months as the works are still standing at 60% ?. The contractor said, he is going to rush to complete the works in these two months, a response that baffled Hon Alfred Okuonzi the Arua District LC V Chairperson. Hon Alfred Okuonzi appealed to the Contractor to ensure quality work. “We may get problems with you when you rush to do some shoddy work at these two bridges”, the LC V Chairperson cautioned the contractor. Hon Alfred’s caution made the Contractor to bring in the issue of “Contract Extension” which he said, will be presented before the District officials soon.

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...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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...
