The political leaders, wananchi and technocrats from both Obongi District and Maracha District on Tuesday 12-December-2023 buried Mr Gasper Aluga, a Secondary School teacher who had taught in various schools in these two districts.

Born on 1-April-1979 and died on 9-December-2023, the secondary teacher was said to have collapsed on the chair while seated at his home, rushed to St Joseph's hospital Ovujo and later on he was pronounced dead by the doctors at the hospital.

The deputy headteacher for Obongi Senior secondary school, Mr Alfred Dratele described the deceased as a dedicated hardworking person who has been trusted at the school in the shortest period he has worked there.

Maracha District woman MP Hon Driwaru Jennifer who pledged Shs 100,000 per term for each of the orphans left by the late, urged the clan people not to attempt grabbing some of the properties left for the widow and orphans.

The parish priest for Simbili Parish, Fr Moses Abidrabo appealed to the management of Obongi Senior secondary school and other schools the deceased Gasper Aluga has been working in, to loosen the process of working on his other benefits in the schools.

He also requested elders of the clan not to deprive the widow of her rights by becoming an obstacle to the family bank account and other properties left by her deceased husband.

The late Mr Gasper Aluga who was a teacher in Oleba Seed secondary School, Maracha domestic secondary school, Koci secondary school and Obongi secondary school, has left behind a widow and children.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

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".

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...
