He stated that commissioning is in process with 3 units out of 6 already commissioned and operational implying that 300 MW are ready for dispatch.

He noted that due to challenges along the Karuma- Kawanda line, currently only 100 MW are being dispatched along Karuma – Lira line. He further said that the 4th line will be commissioned on June 25th,2023.

“As far as CSR is concerned, we have built school blocks of Diima P/S in Kiryandongo district, Kamaji P/S in Nwoya district and Dicwinyi Health Centre block in Oyam district. While CDAP has been able to build Noora P/S block in Nwoya district and Diima P/S block for accommodation of staff in Kiryandongo district” Eng. Paul said.

He noted that the project produces 11kV that is stepped up to 400kV for Karuma – Kawanda line, 132 kV for Karuma – Lira line and 132 kV for Karuma- Olwiyo line.

Karubanga Jacob Ateenyi the chairman Bunyoro Parliamentary Caucus noted that there is an element of an orphanage for Kiryandongo and some other elements under CDAP for Kiryandongo district that must be fought for.

Linos Ngompek the Kibanda North MP called upon Ugandans to desist from vandalism stating that this is a project for all Ugandans. He observed that the 600MW of electricity produced from Kiryandongo is transmitted to Kawanda then distributed to Kiryandongo district. He called upon the ministry of energy to construct a small sub station at Karuma to distribute power to the hosting communities

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

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...

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.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...
