UGANDA PARLIAMENT HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A CLEARING HOUSE,MPS BAG 20 MILLIONS EACH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.THIS IS HOW SELFISH THESE MEN & WOMEN CAN BE.Our dear MPs have given themselves sh20 million each to fight covid 19.
But they are not allowed to hold rallies, not allowed to give food to their neighbours or voters,. They are not allowed to travel to their constituencies, even if they travelled, they cant meet any one as churches are closed, shops are closed, no wedding functions, no burials, no birthday parties, no workshops, every one is locked at home.
How exactly are they going to use this money and on what?
ANSWER:
They will represent us by eating on behalf of all their voters who are currently starving during the Covid lockdown.Then after they will go Vote for the Extension of Elections,Its a BribeOver 9.5 bn shilling is to be spent on the over 452 Mps ie,290 constituency Mps,120 women Representatives,10 army Representatives,5 youth Representatives,5,workers representatives,5 Representatives of the disabled and 17 EX officials.
As their constituency people are grappling with absolute poverty,with an already bleeding economy,these heartless men and women have chosen to further stretch the coffers by pulling out close to 10bn.
Health facilities are in bad shape, vulnerable people are lacking what to eat, at least 10 billions should have been given to the medical workers who are at the forefront..
For what?, Who don’t know it, instead of giving Ministry of Health their just wasting to those selfish mps. Looters! Do they all Know d Pathophysiology of COVID 19?. Why not use dat money to help the needy other than just wasting taxpayers money?
This must be the work of health workers not legislators why are these people so selfish? That’s broad day robbery 20.m for what? Let that money be given to health workers who Are paid peanuts to do the sensitization not those crooks.
People want food and security now, not consultations now.These guys benefit from every situation in Uganda. Uganda’s problems are always avenues for hyenas to eat. You give an mp 20 millions and a poor person 6kg of posho and 3 kgs of beans,where is the logic here???? Divide 20m by 6kgs of maize flour and 3kgs of beans, how many people can it feed.
Do they need to first be paid in order to do what they were elected to do and also receive salaries.Then they are soon extending two years for their own term and their boss. Africa’s biggest challenge is leadership. How sad this is …these guys came to destroy and steal…this is the time they should be making decisions not the mp thugs. And then they publish such nonsense, who said we don’t know it and are all mps medical doctors that they understand this disease because most of them are just ignorant as the ordinary Ugandan.
The deadly coronavirus pandemic and the move by government to curb its spread through a lockdown has challenged the public service infrastructure as never before.
This has seen service delivery in critical sectors such as health severely hampered, amid increases in reported cases of avoidable deaths.
Bududa is one of the most vulnerable districts to disasters. Many civil servants in the district stay in Mbale Town, 35kms away from their workplaces.Some civil servants in the district say Bududa is too remote, prone to landslide disasters and accommodation, especially at health facilities, is inadequate.
Ms Tappy Namulondo, the Bududa Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), says the lockdown and the general threat from the Covid-19 pandemic has terribly affected service delivery.
“We are already facing a number of effects. Some of our workers stay in Mbale and they commute to work at the district,” Ms Namulondo told the media in a telephone interview on Tuesday last week.
The CAO said although the district is making attempts to provide transport to the workers, they are financially constrained.“We have availed vehicles to transport the workers every day but we have a challenge with fuel. This is an emergency that was not budgeted for,” she said.
Ms Namulondo said the district has also encouraged health workers who have accommodation at their workplaces to stay there.
However, Mr Sam Kusolo, a civil society activist working in the district, said many health workers are not reporting to work, thus hampering service delivery.
“Even officers in charge of most health centre IIIs are not there,” he said.
Ms Lillian Akullu, one of the health workers in the district, who lives in Mbale Town, says since the President suspended public transport, she has failed to report to work on some days.“I use district vehicles that always pick us from here [Mbale Town] but some days, the vehicles are too few to take all of us,” she said.
However, Local Government minister Raphael Magyezi warned local government officials against allowing workers to stay away from their duty stations.
“Workers should stay near the workplaces. For hospital workers, they should stay at the hospital quarters,” the minister said in a telephone interview on Tuesday last week.“District health officers and district chairpersons must come up with measures to ensure essential staff remain at the workplaces,” he added.
He said health workers in Bududa should not be allowed to stay in Mbale Town and travel to Bududa because they can pick the virus on the way.“Let them [authorities] put some tents or identify a nearby place for them to stay near their workplaces,” he said.
The minister said government was going to sort the issue of fuel for the districts.
“The supplementary budget for fuel will be presented in Parliament today [Tuesday last week]. The budget is around 150m per district,” he said.
Mr Magyezi said government was also working to provide all health workers with protective gear to boost their confidence and safety during the pandemic.
“We have already provided for workers in regional referral hospitals,” he said.
The minister charged the Resident District Commissioners at the borders to ensure community engagement in monitoring illegal entry through porous borders.Public servants
Service delivery. Earlier on March 25, the Ministry of Public Service wrote to officials in Ministries, Agencies and Departments directing them to ensure continuity of service delivery.
“Each Ministry, Department, Agency and Local Government should identify skeleton staff to remain on duty to ensure that essential services continue to be provided,” the letter reads in parts.
Asked how this was going to work for civil servants who stay far from their workplaces and lack transport means, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Ms Catherine Bitarakwate Musingwiire, said a system to ensure that was already in place.“There are institutional vehicles,” the permanent secretary said. She said health workers and security personnel were free to move.
The ministry also clarified that those who were not going to offices would be working from home.
The ministry directed that the contact information for civil servants be shared with the wider public.Medical ethics is based on a set of values
𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 is a system of moral principles that apply values to the practice of clinical medicine and in scientific research. Medical ethics is based on a set of values that professionals can refer to in the case of any confusion or conflict.Medical ethics describe the requirements and expectations of medical professionals within medical facilities. These values include the respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. Such tenets may allow doctors, care providers, and families to create a treatment plan and work towards the same common goal. It is important to note that these four values are not ranked in order of importance or relevance and that they all encompass values pertaining to medical ethics.
However, a conflict may arise leading to the need for hierarchy in an ethical system, such that some moral elements overrule others with the purpose of applying the best moral judgement to a difficult medical situation.
Medical ethics as suggested by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress in their textbook Principles of biomedical ethics recognizes four basic moral principles, which are to be judged and weighed against each other, with attention given to the scope of their application. The four principles are:
𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 – the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment.
𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 – a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient.
𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 – to not be the cause of harm. Also, “Utility” – to promote more good than harm
𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 – concerns the distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision of who gets what treatment.
𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲
The principle of autonomy, broken down into “autos” (self) and “nomos (rule), views the rights of an individual to self-determination. This is rooted in society’s respect for individuals’ ability to make informed decisions about personal matters with freedom.
Autonomy has become more important as social values have shifted to define medical quality in terms of outcomes that are important to the patient and their family rather than medical professionals. The increasing importance of autonomy can be seen as a social reaction against the “paternalistic” tradition within healthcare. Some have questioned whether the backlash against historically excessive paternalism in favor of patient autonomy has inhibited the proper use of soft paternalism to the detriment of outcomes for some patients.
The definition of autonomy is the ability of an individual to make a rational, uninfluenced decision. Therefore, it can be said that autonomy is a general indicator of a healthy mind and body. The progression of many terminal diseases are characterized by loss of autonomy, in various manners and extents. For example, dementia, a chronic and progressive disease that attacks the brain can induce memory loss and cause a decrease in rational thinking, almost always results in the loss of autonomy.
Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists are often asked to evaluate a patient’s capacity for making life-and-death decisions at the end of life. Persons with a psychiatric condition such as delirium or clinical depression may lack capacity to make end-of-life decisions. For these persons, a request to refuse treatment may be taken in the context of their condition. Unless there is a clear advance directive to the contrary, persons lacking mental capacity are treated according to their best interests. This will involve an assessment involving people who know the person best to what decisions the person would have made had they not lost capacity.
Persons with the mental capacity to make end-of-life decisions may refuse treatment with the understanding that it may shorten their life.
𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
The term beneficence refers to actions that promote the well being of others. In the medical context, this means taking actions that serve the best interests of patients and their families. However, uncertainty surrounds the precise definition of which practices do in fact help patients.
𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
The concept of non-maleficence is embodied by the phrase, “first, do no harm,” or the Latin, primum non nocere. Many consider that should be the main or primary consideration (hence primum): that it is more important not to harm your patient, than to do them good, which is part of the Hippocratic oath that doctors take.
This is partly because enthusiastic practitioners are prone to using treatments that they believe will do good, without first having evaluated them adequately to ensure they do no harm to the patient. Much harm has been done to patients as a result, as in the saying, “The treatment was a success, but the patient died.” It is not only more important to do no harm than to do good; it is also important to know how likely it is that your treatment will harm a patient.
So a physician should go further than not prescribing medications they know to be harmful—he or she should not prescribe medications (or otherwise treat the patient) unless s/he knows that the treatment is unlikely to be harmful; or at the very least, that patient understands the risks and benefits, and that the likely benefits outweigh the likely risks.
𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞
In research ethics, justice is the fair selection of research participants. Justice is the ideal distribution of risks and benefits when scientists conducting clinical research are recruiting volunteer research participants to participate in clinical trials.
The concept gives guidelines on how scientific objectives and not membership in either a privileged or vulnerable population should determine which members of which communities should meet inclusion criteria to participate in research in order to most equitably share the risks and benefits of the research.
𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬
The human rights era started with the formation of the United Nations in 1945, which was charged with the promotion of human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) was the first major document to define human rights.
Medical doctors have an ethical duty to protect the human rights and human dignity of the patient so the advent of a document that defines human rights has had its effect on medical ethics. Most codes of medical ethics now require respect for the human rights of the patient
𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭
Informed consent in ethics usually refers to the idea that a person must be fully informed about and understand the potential benefits and risks of their choice of treatment. A correlate to “informed consent” is the concept of informed refusal. An uninformed person is at risk of mistakenly making a choice not reflective of his or her values or wishes. It does not specifically mean the process of obtaining consent, or the specific legal requirements, which vary from place to place, for capacity to consent.
Patients can elect to make their own medical decisions or can delegate decision-making authority to another party. If the patient is incapacitated, laws around the world designate different processes for obtaining informed consent, typically by having a person appointed by the patient or their next of kin make decisions for them( for my case, I don’t want any relative making decisions for me, I make decisions for myself, not my father not my mother regardless of my state of health!). The value of informed consent is closely related to the values of autonomy and truth telling.
Yoweri museveni has No visionary leadership
I have seen some cheap talk going viral on social media that Yoweri museveni has shown visionary leadership in the fight against covid19, but what is wrong with people’s heads? Which solomonic decision has museveni made, these are simple actions anybody in power would think of, simply locking down, can such people explain why he delayed to close the borders despite of the knowledge of the threat, have forgotten the mp who came from south Korea but never quarantined?, What of the foreigners who are still entering Uganda though small paths, that cheap talk has room only in the small gullible minds.Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga
This Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga woman has been at forefront of passing stupid laws that allow MPs to share taxpayers money with impunity. When Ugandans rubbished her bogus American Prof vaccine, she made sure there must be another plan to benefit from this situation thus 20m to each Mpig😏what a devil.
Info indicates that she’s doing all these to pamper her selfish ego of clinging to speakership in the next Parliament hence Mpigs support.The government has already dispatched billions of cash to districts COVID-19 taskforce stretching to villages led by RDCs and DHOs, Why give more money to MPs to satisfy their selfish political interests.🤷
Today, it is generally believed that each MP takes home averagely Shs25 million monthly, is given Shs103 million to buy a car of choice at start of 5-year term, and an I-pad. They also bag sitting allowances for committees and plenary and per diem for inland and abroad travel and get medical allowances and insurance.
They also get Shs15 million to Shs30 million monthly in fuel/mileage allowance depending on how far their constituency is from the parliamentary building.
Uganda Greedy Members of Parliament, Let down Ugandans
And how are they planning to do that??? By enlarging there bank accounts and let e common man, taxpayer suffer w no food in e house. Selfishness.Should have increased health workers allowances & salaries.
This is money just to go and popularise themselves not fight COVID-19. I can tell you we have the most selfish MPs in the world.
Where are they going to find us since we under quarantine
God forgive us.Wasting tax payers money…u rather increase medics allowances.
Kadaga this decision was made by you. You decided not to bring it on the floor of parliament bcz you knew hw shameful it is and you took it to a few of you in the ballroom. Your the most hypocritic speaker we have had in Uganda. Thank you Rebecca.
Are they researchers or doctors???
So for them rent and food for their relatives is sorted ok mulye!! we have ours in NSSF CAN WE ALSO ACCESS OUR SAVINGS.
Whole amount needed is 9,800,000,000.0 Ugx
How much do we need to feed the poor?
As we collect money to help the task force,the money should be used to buy vehicles not food.
Let us just wait until accountability maybe made or until you hear how govt have no money because it was used to buy food and so on or we have to pay loans got during the fight yet.Greed, of the highest order,ugandans have nothing to eat and on top they are the tax payers. Mp sound like menstruation period.
Yesuuuu7!!!! Mazima nimweyendeza our MPZ.
OUR MPS ARE MORE SELFISH THAN WE THINK EVEN. Itsthe tym we are seeing who is concerned about his/her pipo.
We are under quarantine…. want to teach us through tvs and radio statios n yt almost 45%. Of ugandans are tv free….let me stop hia but this money would have been subjected to health centres for provision of medical services.Nimegundua jinsi wabunge wetu nchini uganda hawajalu maslahi ya wapigaji kura wao…na ndo wanaaamua kutegemea maslahi yao wenyewe. Shukrani wabunge hatutasema lolote lakini vile mungu yu hai.
We shall meet them next time non of them should be voted.

How will MPs fight this virus…hmm God is watching this government.
None can! Olaba tewali yavuddeyo kuyamba Bantu gyava, oba bagenda kuddamu bulango, tv ne radio bwebakuba e dda.
And we just vote without minding about how their past term has helped our areas. If was possible we reduce all these numbers to 1 heap per district and the person should be sitting in the council meetings to gather the needful!
Tell me how we should celebrate this news Mr for sure MP to fight corona virius how? Give the money to the health ministry to improve on the health facilities.
Even if they postpone Elections frm 2021 to 2023

Naye nga bana Uganda banange waliwo abantu abatalya. Teri agenda kulima leero abirye enkya.When they are not supposed to move I have never seen selfish politicians like Ugandan mps.
Shame upon you selfish good for nothing useless parasites…
No wonder when it comes to money, they are all busy…
“When do you feel sympathy for your country?”Is Bobi Wine an MP also, okay. Did he take the money also. Ok!
Every one expected this!
All medical Doctors I think!
I can now see where the country is going 🙏 if not because of some few trustworthy MPs I guess God would have finished them all. Now I wonder how’re they going to fight corruption among themselves!
Where are they going to fight it from really.
In their constituencies or in their mansions in Kampala!!it beats my understanding that’s why i never vote u cant be getting such big salaries and still u become so heartless to that extent in other countries people are taking pay cut but for u adding more problems to govt financial pocket. Eyaloga Parliament tanaabanga!
Let’s wait and see!
All they are doing time is nearing!
Everything dirty is expected of Uganda’s parliament!
Real fake budget!
Whoever is trying to find the vaccine should come and test it on these MPs since they ate representing the people!
What manner of mps are these??
Shame shame shame on you!!
I wonder the type of mps seating in the Parliament to pass out such stupid ideas…… I wish God could punish all of them those thief’s and corrupt mafias!
One of them brought a “sataniza” as the cure of COVID-19 just 🐖🐖 🐖🐖!!
MPIGS congratulations once Again on successfully robbing your own people…
Lord have Mercy upon your people of Uganda. I will never forget M7s Regime. Its full of thieves, stingy and self centered people with no kind heart even in this bad COVID19 season.
Bravo MPs… that money would have secured at least 100 ICU Ventilators!
I saw a student donating 15000 part of her pocket money but look at those heartless, useless and hopeless MPs.Uganda ???????
Uganda Selfish MPs
Let no body lie to u, this was a bribe to MPs so they can accept to pass the 300bn supplementary budget. They just Baptisted it to hoodwink the public. Kawempe North, MP Ssebagala Latif is a thug
But Ugandans when shall we ever say enough is enough. How can we except to die of hunger in our rooms when the money meant to buy us food is being shared by these political greedy barbarians. Isn’t it time enough for us to camp in homes of these politicians who have turned our country into their gardens where they harvest money at any time they want. Uganda COVID-19 Pandemic Mismanagement
Breaking news: Corona positive track driver being rushed to Gulu this night. He was tested at Malaba border and intercepted in Kamdini Oyam district. Do we already have rapid tests? Wow!Albert Okolong: This was mis calculation by MOH. Imagine its almost 400kms from Malaba to Gulu. How many contacts did he come across. I think drivers need to wait for results after taking the test.
Mathew Okot: Sincerely how can someone be tested from Malaba then let go before results are out?
Someone must take responsibility here, just imagine how many people could’ve fallen in the chain of this driver along the way up to where he has been stopped?……oh God!
Albert Okolong: Latest information is that the driver is being driven to Kampala now.
Patrick Kelly PK@ Albert Okolong: That z very true bro Albert ,but now the all issue z hz about the people who have been with him in the truck.
Albert Okolong @Patrick Kelly PK: good question and how about those he interacted with in that distance of almost 400kms from Malaba to Kamdini/ Gulu.
Patrick Kelly PK @Albert Okolong: This really too painful ,another information z that at around 04pm these guys spent some time in corner kamdini and drove to palenga that z kitgum road where they were intercepted can u imagine the all saga now.
Patrick Kelly PK: The chain is too long now ,let wait until tomorrow.
Taabu Januzaj Isaacson: Very poor method of handling truck drivers by Govt,imagine tested at malaba,intercepted at kamdini,how many contacts does that man have?….just taking us to square 1 ,Very soon after 21 days,ull again request for More time to look for the contacts of the contacts.Y can’t they park and wait for results at boarders before they proceed,if everything is at standstill, then those cargos can also wait until results are out,or else,those people want to justify the expenditure of donated money by buying time in trying to treat and trace for the intentionally allowed in sick men.
Nak Mic: I think people are panicking for nothing.
Hon Odong Otto, has no right to divert covid19 patient since all hospitals are equipped to handle such cases.
If the guy has been picked his contacts will be traced and Isolated for screening. That is the whole idea of a lockdown.
If the lockdown wasn’t there perhaps the guy could have infected more people.
I commend the teams that followed up with him in the possible convenient time. Great job.James Ajuma: A truck driver,from malaba to gulu?,hmmm may God have mercy,how many contacts not yet known particularly WOMEN,there whereabouts not known,this is the state we are in now.
Patrick Kelly PK@ James Ajuma: He took some time in corner kamdini and drove to palenga in kitgum road where he was intercepted can you imagine that chain now.
James Ajuma @Patrick Kelly PK: our safety can only be ascertained by God’s Divine intervention and doing our own best to the global DOs and DON’Ts, congs to Hon Otto for directing the team the mulago,ooops!
Emmy Gongo: It seems that no body understands COVID19.
If they are medical equipments in those trucks,then treat them as emergency and take the Samples direct to ENTEBBE before the driver is allowed to take the Items.
Why weak laws.Muwanguzi Henry Bebamanyi: because right now some of us we’re focusing how can we survive in this lockdown and wat is next on our businesses and jobs after this lockdown.
Mafabi James Gidudu @Muwanguzi Henry: sick mentality, we all have businesses, but this is a life survival for ourselves, children, relatives and friends first.
Ayume Bf Muhammad: Check the lodges on the way where he slept and had meals otherwise,we washed our clothes and dried in the soil instead of the wire.who to blame.cant the truck drivers wait for the test results?image whats happening.uganda zabu.ALLAH help.
Oketcho Pa Ochandi Owere: This was the case reported last night…. his samples were taken yesterday at malaba, and though he was left to drive before results came out positive…. so it is nt a new case, but Ministry of Health- Uganda Ministry of Health- Uganda already reported last night.
Allan Grey@ Oketcho Pa Ochandi Owere: So did he stop anywhere and get in touch with anyone…😂😂😂!Did they let him go on condition he won’t touch anyone? Eh!
Emenyu Solomon: But why a rush? Someone was not badly off,he was driving with his coronavirus why do you rush with him to the hospital? just tell him to drive to the nearest hospital Chloroquine.
Amony Inno: Stupidity of the highest order…what are they up to any way…karuma falls dam should be closed….until covid 19 is done.
Byabakama Jackson: We are not safe on All borders surrounding Uganda some body are being paid 50k to cross them into uganda and there are so many panama that being used security be on alert.
Karugaba Nathan: If he was tested at malaba border, was he released before his results came back or he escaped? How come he is arrested at Kamudini? I thought suspects are quarantined until their results are back.
Uthman Sky: That’s not having fast test kits, it’s having incompetent health workers and weak border personnel. Why did they allow him to go before the results??
Okiror Ibrahim: I told you how Useless m7s directives are!
Closed schools, weekly markets, Churches, Mosques but left all the borders open! Allowed even people from affected countries to flock in!
He only closed the borders after receiving the first victim!
Did he close the borders to close in covid 19 or out!?
God SOS and help remove the most Unpatriotic president in Uganda, Yoweri Museveni!Deogratius Odokel Opolot: Stupidity at best,we l are locked at home and the chaps are joking coz they are earning money.
Meet Mee: If this nonsense continues I am ending the lockdown and face it off with any fool who dare attack me.
Lydia Nakanwagi @Meet Mee: We are just suffering bse of the arrogancency!
Davidson Elyau: I don’t understand this after testing and found positive they leave you to move alone.
Badru Katongole: He’s not in gulu ..Truly he’s now rushed to mulago referral this not under supervision of Hon. Odonga Otto and Speaker Hon. Jacob Oulanyah.
Allan Grey: I am disappointed…new covid 19 case is a truck driver…I personally thought all these drivers where being quarantined at the boarder points and only released once 15 days and extra tests where done😟🤦🏼♂🙆🏻♂🙆🏻♂🙆🏻♂🙆🏻♂🤷🏼
Lasiyo Robert: Terrible!
And those truck drivers have multiple stages for stopovers with at least a woman in every stage.
Now see!
These drivers should only be allowed to proceed, after accertaining their Covid 19 status. Otherwise we’re already messed up!Sarah Nansubuga: They should not be let to continue without knowing the results. Gasiya agenda asaasaanya. Nabo balinde!
Mugume Godwin: Disgusting security,corruption on the borders I doubt we out of this soon..where is Updf!
Godfrey Ssembatya: How many women had he interacted with before he was intercepted again.Look at that chain!!!.. Are we serious??
Charles Richard Khaukha: Why would they let him travel up to kamdin when he tested positive from malaba boarder? Look at all this faagi!
Jos Paul Ilukol: Why should they release a driver before approving his result ?
This is also madness!Akankunda Josephat Kuntsevych: i think if it means lockdown, alxo the movements frm one country to anaza should stop, mbu truck driver! this is a nosense that is going to bring us bak,,, for dis lockdown lets b using our own resources. nw look at dis. do u kno his contacts? wat of contacts of contacts? u see? soon we shal hav da virus spreading like wild fire.
George Wanjala: Two cases were detected, Kenyan driver was referred back.the Uganda driver was allowed to proceed pending outcome.
Shekih Muhammar Opoka: Info also indicates that he mingled with some two ladies, one from Lira and another one from kamdini, Ladies be very careful.
Simon Mugabi DaNtenga: I Hope he hadn’t swallowed any babes especially those who like kissing cos they may end up following him the the isolation facilities!
Diaen Kukunda Rutamureka: Corona is still here.
He was tested and left to go.
How many many did he get in contact with?
Now they are looking for his contacts,and contacts and contactors and contacted. Lol!Achanpekun Jeff Komagum: What the MOH should improve on….let the truck drivers entering to UG be tested n they should only continue with their journey after result is out….there’s no sense in keeping the blood when the dona is busy moving n contaminating other victims….thanks!
Kisoro mob justice on suspected Potato thieves
Police in Kisoro District are investigating a mob justice incident in which two suspected Irish potatoes thieves were killed on Wednesday morning.The two who were lynched by the mob at Buhayo village, in Chahi subcounty have been identified as Maniriho Didas, 32 and one Bwenggye 31.
Norah Iradukunda the LCI chairperson of Buhango village says at around 5am she heard a mob in front of her home beating up people and when she woke up, she found a group of people standing over two dead bodies lying on the group.
Upon asking, she was told that the two men were caught red handed in one of the gardens in the neighbouring village of Muganza.
The two were found with a half full sack of stolen potatoes.
The locals say they have lately been dealing with increasing cases of theft of food and livestock from their homes.
One of the locals says following this surge, the residents sat and resolved in their village meeting that if anyone is caught stealing they should be beaten to death.
Elly Maate the Kigezi Regional police spokesman confirms the incident and says that the two bodies retrieved from the scene and conveyed to kisoro hospital for post-mortem and the sticks used to kill the two have been exhibited.
Maate says that one person Tawumenye Fred has been arrested to assist in inquiries as Efforts to arrest more suspects are under way.
Ugandan parliament
There is no better replay of the “Affair of the Diamond Necklace” as it happened under the French Bourbon Monarchy than what has transpired in the halls of the Ugandan parliament these last two weeks.
During the reign of Louis XV between 1784 – 1785, he offered to have the most expensive Diamond Necklace worth 2 Million Livres (about US$ 20 Million today) made for his concubine Madam Du Barry but at a time when his subjects were starving and dying of the smallpox virus (unfortunately he died of smallpox before giving the necklace to his concubine).
The son, Louis XVI went on to become the next king, but in tow, was another extravagant queen that would ask the subjects to eat cake — “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”, a type of bread made of eggs and butter when these peasants didn’t have any bread.
We have a war! A pandemic! An alarming situation where Ugandans are now eating less than one meal a day to defeat this Corona Enemy. And then comes a parliament devoid of any sense of humility to join forces with the masses in the war but rather taking away even the little that they are left with.
There is no worse misery than finding the population on its knees as a result of the dwindling economy hit by the ravaging Coronavirus, while the Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament is leading the chorus to get a supplementary budget ploughed through but earmarking a minimum bonus of US$ 6,000 per Member of Parliament (475 in number).
Yes, the speaker has orchestrated a move to channel a whopping 10 billion Ugandan Shillings or US$ 2.7 Million of the taxpayers’ money to go feed the already satisfied heartless legislators on cake and meat, while sending bags of posho and beans full of stones to the wanaichi, so far Kampala and Wakiso have indeed tested the stones.
There was a genuine cause for Parliament to pass a supplementary budget that would slow down the economic downturn as well as help government to full equip itself to fight this war against the obscure but lethal enemy – coronavirus.
Without a sounding defence against coronavirus, it is undeniable that there would be a long-term repercussions on the social service and national security systems of the country, an impact that would affect each and every citizen for generations.
It thus leaves one to wonder, how heartless can our legislative arm be to sneak into the well intentioned budget a whole Ten (10) billion that is for nothing but entertainment in the times of war, when solidarity and sacrifice is all the country needs. Indeed, Kadaga is telling Ugandans to go eat cake when there is absolute hunger.
If things have gone this bad, (which is the case because parliamentary oversight has gone to the dogs), then voters need to ask for a real change in Parliament for patriotic and intellectually upright cadres starting from the Speaker herself.
It is a hard task get the voters aware of the power they wield in their voting rights, but when voting comes, this is now the time to begin ticking the right boxes in line with changing the status quo in the August House for the better.
The more, our voting pattern relies on the silver coins received, the more we build complacency in the August House that breeds notoriety and familiarity when it comes to misuse of our taxes at the expense of very important budget items that seek to develop and protect the country as a whole.
Warren Buffet famously noted that “it’s only when the tide goes out that you learn who’s been swimming naked” and indeed this coronavirus has exposed the parliamentary butts for all Ugandans to see the sharks that we have been swimming with.
It is not a coincidence that counter-oversight agencies have for ages been left to run business on crumbs and patriotism as these well-funded MPs continue to amass the billions of the taxpayers funds.
When shall we countercheck these excesses to make Uganda a better country? Time and again, budgetary requests for crucial services are being thrown out by the various committees of this August House, without the scrutiny or input that is deserved of an MP, leaving any sane Ugandan doubting the purpose as to why we are having a blotted, selfish and hugely ignorant parliament in the name of democracy – rule of the people, by the people, for the people.In the end, a question remains lingering because sanity has to prevail, is Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, guiding her house to represent the views of the people?
So disgusted by the NRM members of Parliament
Am so disgusted by the NRM members of Parliament on the decision to accept the 20 million Ugandan shillings in the name of sensitization of covid-19 in your constituencies.
You completely disregarded the feelings of the Ugandans who for sure are suffering in this period.
Why didn’t you say you wanted the 20m to buy posho and beans for at least 450 homes of sick and old vulnerable people in your constituencies.10kgs of posho cost 22000 and 5kgs of beans cost 20000.You each would have bought approximately 450 bags of posho and 450 bags of beans.
If you think well,adding one month of your salary would have doubled the help to these voters.
You already each earn a minimum of 25m per month,of which non of you has put a motion in parliament to cut it to half during these hard months to support government financially.20m (for sensitization) plus 25m (from your one month salary) equals 45 million shillings which is way less, considering how much you spend during campaigns.These are the times when you should side with all your people and not your pockets.
These are the times when you should sacrifice income from your businesses to sustain/support a good number of your voters.As a comrade who has always gone looking for Nrm votes from these same voters, you deny me the platform to support you.
I feel so heartbroken with this decision made by parliament despite the fact that there are more things that indeed go wrong but we try and understand because of the pre-existing conditions of our economy and country.But i also understand that fighting president M7 out is being done at many fronts i.e Parliament, police,cabinet and mainly STATE HOUSE. In these offices many are pretending to be NRM but are inside to tarnish and destroy the party and the president since the bush is not an option any more,proof to existence of the MAFIA who by the way started on me one year ago,a topic am soon opening publicly.
Therefore with all due respect, i kindly request the NRM members of Parliament to reconsider the 20m,add your one month salary, personally buy food for the people of your constituencies, hand it to the ministry of health with specific guidelines for your people.The ministry can then work with the RDC’s and LC’s to distribute the food to the sick and most vulnerable people.
There are so many people on strong medication like for TUBERCULOSIS AND HIV but lack food.These lists of patients can be gotten from all medical focal persons per medical facility or even the DHOs.We await your noble response.

MPig called Latif Ssebaggala Sengendo
Dear Kampala voters, never forget this MPig called Latif Ssebaggala Sengendo , he mooted the motion to shares billions of taxpayers money while you’re starving in your homes. He’s Bobi Wine ‘s best choice for Kampala mayoral race🙄BOBI WINE AND YOUR FOREIGN FRIENDS ARE A JOKE ON CHINA ISSUE
As the people of Kyadondo East are starving in their homes, their popularity seeking MP Hon Robert Kyagulanyi is busy raising millions of dollars from his dubious foreign friends to hire a fleet of planes to evacuate NIGERIANS, JAMAICANS, CONGOLESE, KENYANS, ZAMBIANS ETC to Uganda, where he promises to even pay for their accommodation and other costs while in quarantine in Uganda.This is under the assumption that he will be helping a handful of Ugandans stranded there too.These people have their countries of origin who have an obligation to organise evacuation and receive them and put them under their own quarantine, and the international law is very clear on that.Secondly, most of them had gone to China on business trips, some working there, and are not the most vulnerable to that extreme. They need their home countries just to evacuate them.THE MOST VULNERABLE ARE THE KYADONDO EAST VOTERS, WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED A GRAIN OF FOOD TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES SO FAR,AND YOU HAVE THEIR NUMBERS AND CONTACTS, JUST GET THOSE DOLLARS, AND SEND MOBILE MONEY TO THEM (DO NOT USE THE ATTEMPTED MURDER THREAT SINCE YOU WON’T HANDLE PHYSICAL FOODS) AND LATER HELP OTHER UGANDANS, SINCE THOSE DOLLARS HIRING PLANES MUST BE ADEQUATE.PLEASE BOBI WINE STOP THIS MADNESS OF SEEKING SLEAZY INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION, WHILE YOUR POTENTIAL VOTERS SWIM IN HUNGER AND DISEASE.I AM TOM VOLTAIRE OKWALINGA (TV0) AND I SPEAK MY MIND WITHOUT FEAR.
I have seen some cheap talk going viral on social media that Yoweri museveni has shown visionary leadership in the fight against covid19, but what is wrong with people’s heads? Which solomonic decision has museveni made, these are simple actions anybody in power would think of, simply locking down, can such people explain why he delayed to close the borders despite of the knowledge of the threat, have forgotten the mp who came from south Korea but never quarantined?, What of the foreigners who are still entering Uganda though small paths, that cheap talk has room only in the small gullible minds.
Let no body lie to u, this was a bribe to MPs so they can accept to pass the 300bn supplementary budget. They just Baptisted it to hoodwink the public.
