The male councilor representing Workers in the district, who is at the same time the secretary for social services Hon Dicky Alema appreciated the opportunity offered by Enabel organization to construct a Theater at Maracha health centre IV because the entire district of Maracha doesn’t have a hospital, apart from St Joseph Hospital Ovujo which is a catholic owned hospital.

He appealed to the contractor to consider the issue of local content by employing some of the residents as local labourers and also buy tested local materials like Sands, Stones and Bricks from within the district so that the locals will also benefit directly from the project.

To avoid shoddy works and other technicalities arising after completion of a construction, the consultant of the project, Mr Musana Daniel, who is also the architect and contract manager for Enabel organization tasked the contractor to have sands, concrete blocks and aggregates tested in lab and approved before they are supplied to the site for the construction.

Maracha district LC V Chairperson Hon Stephen Obitre applauded the consultant and contractor together with other technical officials of Enabel organization for enlightening them about the background of the project and he urged them to remain committed to their words and promises because whenever launching of projects are done like this, the best technical officers are brought to speak but when things get messed up, such officers disappear completely.

Resident district commissioner Rt Capt Yasin Buga Matata advised the contractor not to rush with the project to avoid shoddy works.

WestNile region has 15 health centre IVs, out of which it’s only Maracha health centre IV in Maracha District and Bondo health centre IV in Arua District which do not have functional Theaters yet the minimum standard set by Ministry of Health is to have a functional Theater in all the health centre IVs.

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...

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