Katono is a very suspicious man about anyone who asks for personal details about him. When he was 19, the LC Chairman came with some people and took his details promising to deliver a bicycle to him. Instead, only the LC Chairman and his family received them. So, he swore to never give out any information again.  The last time there was a population census, he was approached by officials to get details about his family. They asked him about ‘how many children he has’, how many TVs he owns, and if he was making any money, etc. He refused to answer and told them this was a plot by the government to steal his ‘things’ and chased them from his home.

Katono’s wife is now worried that he may have done something illegal. So, she wants to know, is it a crime to refuse to be counted?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

The law says the government has a legal duty to plan for the people in Uganda. The government does this by giving authority to a body known as ‘The Uganda Bureau of Statistics’ (UBOS) to carry out the census to know how many people there are and the state of their living conditions to start making plans for them.

By law (the Constitution), every Ugandan is expected to participate in government programs, including the census by being counted to allow the government to plan for the country properly. Therefore, all citizens must participate in the census.

This means that what Katono did was wrong, and he may be answerable before the law for refusing to take part. So, his wife is right, Katono should take part in the census.

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 ...
