      A police officer in Masindi has tested positive for COVID19. This was at the start of random country wide testing.

      He was responsible for handling suspects in cells. 05 fellow police personnel and 02 inmates have been taken into quarantine. Health officials are disinfecting the police station.

      This shows that the virus has entered the communities.

        Heavy rains have destroyed crops, swept away homes and cut off roads, in several villages in the district of Kabale.

        The most affected areas are; Rubaya, Kaharo, Maziba and Kamuganguzi Sub Counties.

        Many roads have been cut off by landslides
        The rains triggered mudslides that have blocked several access roads. In several areas, gardens are submerged in water as well as people’s homes, especially those that live near the old Maziba hydropower dam.

        The dam has been flooded over 500 families are living in fear that it might collapse.

        In Katuna town council and Rubaya Sub County, several homes have been washed away, leaving scores homeless.

        In Maziba sub county several roads are impassable and Maziba primary school has been cut off.

        Elias Jonathan Byaruhanga, the head teacher Maziba primary school says the heavy rains destroyed part of the school including his own office.

        Large boulders washed from hill tops have piled on some of the roads including the old road that connects Kyanamira-maziba – Buhara and Kaharo sub counties.

        Meanwhile, the Uganda National Roads Authority announced Saturday afternoon that they were temporarily closing part of the Ntungamo—Kabale highway due to a pavement failure at Kaharo which is, 18Km to Kabale town.

        “The failure is as a result of the current torrential rains leading to landslides in the area.  Our maintenance team in Kabale has closed off one lane to traffic and has commenced mobilization of materials to reinstate the failed embankment and restore traffic flow,” UNRA said.

        “In the mean time, the following diversions can be used; —trucks to Rwanda can use Ntungamo—Mirama hills road —trucks to DR. Congo can use Mbarara—Ishaka—Katunguru—Ishasha or Mbarara—lshaka—Kikorongo—Mpondwe roads.”

        Patrick Besigye Keihwa, the Kabale district LC V chairperson, says the district is being overwhelmed by the increased calamities caused by the heavy rains

        He says that the chief administrative officer has sent a team to assess the situation and make a report to the office of the prime minister so that they can get relief.

          Why does Rebecca Kadaga share today and not before? This time they have all been exposed.
          Kadaga thank you for exposing your past joint theft. All of you will never go to heaven for passing motions of theft in parliament. As long as you helped or paved a way for a thief to steal, you’re also a thief.

          But this woman,”appealing to the public” appealing to the public seriously, ???she forgets that through her parliamentary leadership, she rendered the public dangerously powerless. ,pomb,”togikwatako” among other Bill’s aimed at strengthening her grip on power.
          During togikwatako,the public she is calling upon to help cried out for her help,for the first time I saw people call kadaga “mama” of the nation, all seductive names were given to her but she paid a deaf ear to appease her master.
          Which public is she appealing to today??

          Let’s just rename Uganda’s COVID-19 to TRUCKVID -20 and pass more budgets for regime beneficiaries to share.

          Only in Africa will thieves be regrouping to loot again and youths whose future is being stolen will be celebrating it.

          Ugandans and fellow Africans, do you know who Yoweri Museveni is?
          Yoweri Museveni is:
          1- a complete liar – he promises one thing and does the opposite or nothing at all. He holds the Bible high to promise his allegiance to God, but he does not follow what he swears before the main witness, the chief justice and the observers. Yoweri Museveni is very ungodly and that is why God is helping us fight him out.
          2- a cunning lurer or conman – He lures you into doing what you may not wish to do, as he did to the Tito’s in Nairobi. He lured and forced and tricked the Tito’s and their company in Nairobi peace talks to relinquish presidential powers to him.
          3- a haughty administrator – he boasts of crushing other people with opinions that do not support his own.
          4- an ardent killer – he kills with impunity any person who proves wiser than him or he may imprison the person indefinitely.
          5- a terrible bully – he will bully you to come to your knees for him. He has intimidated the people he is working with to do only what he wants.
          6- a tactful manipulator – he has managed, through manipulations and rigging of elections, to remain in power for over thirty years now.
          7- a self-centered ruler – he has sold most of government parastatals to himself and the people around him, Ugandans and foreigners. He makes sure he and his henchmen control the Ugandan economy.
          8- an insatiable thief and a looter – he and the people around him have grabbed other people’s land and other possessions including cash allocated for different government projects and facilities.
          9- a smart juggler – he is so sophisticated in the game of manipulation that he is always the winner. But this time he is facing the Almighty. Are you his arm – slinger? You may surprisingly find yourself flying in the air with the manipulated arm.
          10- a deceitful conversationalist – be careful when you talk with him. He may throw you into fire.

            When people who consume the beans complained they were bad, those who don’t eat beans and Posho said consumers were ungrateful to the regime’s generosity towards them.

            Then Kadaga said Parliament gave OPM 59bn to buy beans and Posho but instead bought rotten beans which they are even distributing on small scale.

            Again, those who don’t eat rotten beans and Posho Bamujwara.

            Now, Usuk County MP Peter Ogwang (I don’t know why he isn’t distributing food in Katakwi) says they have recalled beans to distribute in Nsambya Central because they are substandard.

            Rotten and substandard are the same.

            We are Ugandans. I 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

              Mps must not cling on dry grass! Their deal just got foiled but everything else they say 300b classified and not all was passed by them counting on their share!

              Many Ugandans have been seen getting shock after reading stories of MPs literally living in state house at their homes in the newspapers and on different social media platforms forgetting that all our 314 MPs each is now getting UGX6.5M monthly housing allowance and their salary makes it flexible for them to afford nice homes.

              Few days I saw some people commenting on
              Inside Minister David Bahat ‘s ‘s village mansion located in Kitumba sub county Kabale District district and kept quiet not because it was not true but because some of them can’t understand their earnings.

              Yes people are concentrating on Hon David Bahati ‘s house forgetting that their are many big houses owned by politicians in Kampala and deep down in the villages with expensive seats which were imported from China, Netherlands, USA, UK and other countries moreover with swimming pools and pavilions in compounds

              Former MP and Minister Capt. Mike Mukula owns more than a state house with swimming pool in the compound in Bugolobi, Young Tayebwa Thomas who entered Parliament of Uganda just yesterday has erected a State House equivalent deep down in a village in Mitooma District where only 4WD can manoeuvre. Speaker of the parliament Rt Hon Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga has a billion Century Hotel deep down in Kamuli.
              Bobi Wine Kyagulanyi with very few kids has a mansion in Majegere though he constructed it before joining parliament but he’s paid UGX6.5M as housing allowance moreover with huge salary.

              Hon.Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda who found Hon. David Bahati. in Parliament has another State House, Bahati got a salary loan during 9th Parliament tenure to build his village home.
              It is funny for someone to target one person out of hundreds of politicians owning expensive homes in Kampala and their villages.

              Patrick Oboi Amuriat served for two terms and has a State House too.

              Then how about business persons like Kirumira, Kigundu Ham, Sudhir, Ben Kavuuya, Eng.Mugarura and others?

                Rebecca Kadaga  I spent all morning going through the COVID-19 Supplementary Budget Schedule and the Report of the Budget Committee. I don’t like to be angry because of public opinions. I like to read from the primary source and inform myself as well as have basis for being annoyed. I will share my thoughts so that you understand how this government and its employees misuse your money and hopefully that will make you realise that no one cares about you in this country.

                1. The COVID Supplementary Budget presented on 31st March amounted to UGX 284BN! Please note that in March alone, the government had presented three different supplementary budgets. The first one presented on 3rd March 2020 was a request for UGX 662.337BN. Then on 19th March, the government requested for another UGX 749.82BN of which 90BN was for State House, 6.98BN for Office of Prime Minister and UGX 4.075BN for Bamugemereirwe Commission (I am not sure why they need any more money considering that their impact has been negligible and they keep incurring more and more expenditures). So in one month of March alone, the government has obtained over a Trillion in just supplementary budgets.
                PS: Expenditures over 3% of the approved budget legal limit always require Parliamentary approval.

                2. Back to the COVID budget, this money would come from a loan of 600 Million Euro that the government borrowed from the EU.

                3. The Ministry of Health requested for UGX 82,562,065,127BN for COVID. The Committee instead decided to give them more and hence they will be getting UGX 104,188,234,110! Out of this, Ministry is paying UGX 3.2BN to hotels where they are quarantining people. No wonder they are holding people by force even after 24 days of quarantine! Food for COVID suspects is to cost UGX 3.364BN but then there is also another budget line called “welfare and food for quarantined individuals in other institutions” which is another UGX 2BN! So in short, feeding Uganda’s current 55 patients and any more that come up will cost UGX 3.364 and those in isolation and quarantine (not yet sick) is another UGX 2BN. Over 5bn on food! Hehehehe. Teaching case workers to manage COVID patients is another UGX 1.5BN. Transport alone is UGX 5BN! I could go on and on about the funny items under here but I guess you get the picture.

                4. Security sector asked for UGX 81.4BN for surveillance, case detection, case management (not sure why security is doing work of Health) and enforcement. They will get UGX 77.5BN.

                5. Local government which includes your RDCs asked for UGX 36.2BN. RDCs wanted UGX 7.5BN for fuel, UGX 4.8 for 20 isolation centers per district (this was so funny considering that people are actually being centrally isolated under Ministry of Health and we definitely dont need 20 per district), UGX 1.3BN for surveillance teams (please note that as at this point of my analysis, Health and Security above have also got money for this same item), UGX 2BN for coordination by DHOs and another UGX 50M per district for operations. The Committee decided that this money will be sent to State House who will then disburse. Hehehe.

                6. Disaster preparedness aka abakawunga nebinjanjalo asked for UGX 59.4BN. They got their money so hopefully the posho and beans reach you soon.

                7. KCCA would not be left out so they also asked for UGX 30.18BN. They need UGX 1.5BN to enforce directives (which security also got money for), UGX 4.18BN for preparedness and coordination (which disaster and preparedness already got money for), UGX 17BN for response and case management (which Ministry of Health already got money for),UGX 3.3BN for water and sanitation (in a city that is under lockdown and where people pay for their own water and sanitation is an everyday duty of KCCA that should already have been provided for). Thankfully the Committee only gave them UGX 2BN!

                8. My lovely people at ICT who had requested for UGX 14.72Bn which included UGX 50M just to record studio messages for COVID, 300M to print COVID messages, 300M for call center and payment of staff, UGX 3BN for billboards and UGX 10BN for TV and radio will only get UGX 6Bn. Atleast our extra UGX 7BN lives to see another day, or another thief!

                All I see in the Supplementary Budget is everyone fighting to do the work of the Ministry of Health!

                9. The Budget Committee Report was not signed by some members who instead decided to author their dissenting report aka minority report. This Report highlights a few interesting facts:

                a. Uganda only has 48,231 beds across all health facilities countrywide although it would need 166,800 beds.
                b. 39 districts in Uganda do not have a hospital at all. These include Kalangala, Mitoma, Lwengo, Buvuma, Namayingo.
                c. There are only 55 functional ICUs in the country and each ICU costs about UGX 280M to set up.
                d. There are only 484 ambulances in the entire country of which only 411 are functional and the government only owns 181 ambulances.
                e. Although it is Health Ministry at the forefront, security was allocated 29% of the Schedule hence putting it at the forefront of the fight. In short, LDUs beating you is more important than Ministry fighting the disease. Health only got 22% of the allocation, KCCA 11%, Disaster 21% and ICT 5%.
                f. The Minority report hence decided that all the supplementary budget be allocated to Health!

                I hope this analysis wakes you up to the reality that in this country, God is for us all but money is for a selected few. I hope you remember this fact when we get to the 2021 elections. I hope you remember this when you see people buying new houses, marrying additional wives, buying new monster rides etc. Save this and remember to hold your leaders accountable!

                  The High Court yesterday ordered MPs to return the controversial Shs20m they received on their private bank accounts to government for public use.

                  The court order for the refund followed a consent agreement between Ntungamo Municipality MP Gerald Karuhanga, the petitioner, and state lawyers from the Attorney General’s chambers and Parliamentary Commission.

                  According to the court orders, the funds are to be returned to either the Parliamentary Commission account, the National Covid-19 taskforce or the District Covid-19 task forces.

                  “The funds be returned to the Parliamentary Commission pursuant to its letter addressed to the Members of Parliament dated 22nd April 2020; the funds be paid to the district Covid-19 task force in which the members of Parliament are incorporated through the Chief Administrative Officer,” Justice Michael Elubu ordered yesterday.

                  “Members of Parliament representing special interest groups shall pay the funds to the national task force,” the judge added.

                  The consent judgement agreed to by both parties, came barely hours after President Museveni in his televised national address on the progress of the Covid-19 pandemic on Tuesday, castigated the MPs for taking the money in question.

                  A pretentious Museveni said the fight over this money was distracting Ugandans from the real fight against the pandemic.

                  “The Shs20m caused confusion, it’s bad planning. But secondly, there were also legal and constitutional issues involved. It would be morally reprehensible to give themselves money for personal use when the country is in such a crisis and totally unacceptable to the NRM,” the President criticised the MPs Tuesday night.

                  Mr Museveni also revealed that he had met the Speaker of Parliament Ms Rebecca Kadaga over the matter and expressed his dissatisfaction about what the MPs had done.

                  “I agreed with the Speaker that they donate the money to the district taskforce where they come from as this will limit the damage. I heard that some of the MPs had bought things. That’s not good enough. We have a purchaser,” Mr Museveni said.

                  Earlier this month, in a bid to fight Covid-19, government presented a supplementary budget of Shs304b to Parliament for approval.

                  However, in the process of approval and appropriating the money to different sectors involved in the fight against Covid-19, Shs10b was dubiously and belatedly included for allocation to the Parliamentary Commission.

                  The allocation triggered public queries and outrage.
                  Each MP was given Shs20m as facilitation purportedly to sensitise their electorate about Covid-19.
                  Following the storm triggered by the money, the Speaker came out to defend the MPs about the money wired to their bank accounts.

                  On Monday last week, the High Court issued an interim order stopping the payment of money to the MPs. However during the Parliament sitting last Thursday, Ms Kadaga said the court order had been overtaken by events since MPs had already received the money before the order was issued.

                  She told courts to stop interfering with Parliament work.
                  She explained that Parliament was working hand in hand with government in the fight against Covid-19 and that they had already released their buses to the health ministry to transport health workers to and from work.

                  In further defending the Shs10b allocation, Ms Kadaga said part of the money was to be used to maintain the ambulances contributed by Parliament and individual MPs, provide fuel and pay allowances for the drivers of the ambulances already released by MPs to help the Covid-19 taskforces at district level.

                  However, the move by Parliamentary Commission to allocate money to individual MPs, angered MP Karuhanga, who petitioned court saying the allocation was illegal and unconstitutional.

                  He said the money was passed without being presented, discussed and scrutinised by the Budget Committee of parliament.
                  He said this offends the rules of procedure of Parliament and sought court to order a refund.

                  Reacting to yesterday’s court development, Mr Karuhanga said he was glad that he had finally stopped the move by his fellow MPs from unfairly benefiting from the Covid-19 pandemic instead of also donating to the cause.

                  REACTION

                  Justification. The Speaker explained that Parliament was working hand in hand with government in the fight against Covid-19 and that they had already released their buses to the Health ministry to transport health workers to and from work.

                    As the country grapples with the COVID 19 pandemic which is continuing to threaten job security of countless employees, Government and employers have agreed on a number of guidelines that should be followed in case an employee is to lose his/ her job.

                    The guidelines were reached on in a Tripartite meeting convened by the Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development Hon Frank Tumwebaze which was attended by Government workers represented by National Organization of Trade Unions (NOTU), Central Organisation of Free Trade Unions (COFTU) and employers represented by Federal of Uganda Employers (FUE) regarding effects of COVID 19 on employment including job security and possible mitigation measures.

                    Tumwebaze announced the layoff guidelines to journalists at Uganda Media Center on Tuesday as follows:

                    Whereas employment relations are regulated by law, mitigating the effects of COVID 19 on employment relationships is more than legal matter given the circumstances. Therefore, Employers and workers are encouraged to find a win-win situation through dialogue as far as is reasonably practicable.

                    Where possible, employees should be encouraged to work from home not only as a means of reducing overcrowding at the workplace and thereby increasing the risks of infection with COVID 19 but as a measure of cutting on overhead cost at workplace.

                    Employees should be encouraged to take pending annual leave as one of the cost cutting measures as well as decongesting workplaces.

                    Employers and employees are encouraged to negotiate/ renegotiate wages before considering layoffs or terminations.

                    Employers are encouraged to the extent possible, not to terminate employees. This is because employers will require these employees when normal operations resume. In addition, termination of employees will occasion more costs to employers in form of payment of terminal benefits.
                    Termination of employees should therefore be taken as a last resort after all the available softer options have been exhausted.

                    Employers who despite the associated costs and lengthy procedures opt for termination should strictly adhere to the law (sections 58, 65 and 81 of Employment Act, 2006 as well as Regulation 44 (a) and (b) of Employment Regulations, 2011).

                    Employers should ensure that the process of termination or layoff is done with a humane face. Workers should be counselled prior to termination/ layoff.
                    Employers should try as much as possible to take care of the basic needs (eg food) for the workers they layoff as this will not only help them to stay connected to their good will and intention of the employers towards them in the difficult circumstances.

                    Sectors not adversely affected by COVID 19 pandemic like manufacturing, food processing and others should not use the excuse of the pandemic to arbitrarily cut staff wages or layoff staff.
                    The Ministry of Gender asked the COVID 19 National Task Force led Rt Hon Prime Minister to devise means of targeting and prioritizing the most vulnerable categories of workers who have been laid off or terminated, to benefit from food being distributed. The LCs should not discriminate casual workers by not regarding them as vulnerable.

                    Employees who have running loans with financial institutions are encouraged to take advantage of the directive issued by Bank of Uganda to the financial institutions to reschedule loan payments.
                    The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development will take keen interest in and will continue addressing on a case by case basis, complaints raised by the part-time workers and other workers who by the time of COVID 19 lockdown had no contracts and were sent home without payment of what was due to them as at the time of lockdown.

                    In line with section 19 of Employment Act, 2006, all employers should provide returns and statistics on the number of workers whose employment relationships have been affected or are likely to be affected during COVID 19 pandemic. This information will particularly be useful for policy advice and planning.

                    After the lockdown is fully lifted, the Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development working with its partners will undertake Rapid Assessment on the effects of COVID 19 on labor, employment and productivity and consequently develop a labour market risk management plan in consultation with social partners.

                      Over 50 PWDs and their families live in this structure in Kabale Municipality
                      People with Disabilities (PWDs) living at the Kikungiri Handicapped Centre in Kabale Municipality are struggling to survive due to lack of food following the Covid 19 lock down.

                      Several handicapped people live in this old and dilapidated structure, and usually make crafts for a living.

                      Mary Tindibasa, one of the PWDs says they have been depending on money from sales of hand crafts like baskets among others, which they have been selling to tourists and vending others in the town, but since the President imposed a lock down as a preventive measure against the spread of Covid 19, they no longer sell anything.

                      She added that she recently called the Resident District Commissioner Darius Nandinda and the District LC5 Chairperson Patrick Besigye Keihwa for food relief but got no feedback.

                      Tindibasa says they now feed on greens only because they have finished the little money they had saved to buy food.

                      Faustah Ahimbisibwe, another PWD says about 50 people and their families live in this structure but are on the brink of starvation

                      She says she has been hearing of Good Samaritans donating food to the district task force but wonders why the district officials have not reached out to them.

                          The High Court in Kampala under Justice Michael Elubu has ordered all Members of Parliament to return Shs20m that they allocated themselves off the budget to fight Covid-19.

                          The Court’s ruling followed a miscellaneous application No.179 of 2020 filed by Ntungamo Municipality Member of Parliament (MP), Gerald Karuhanga and Erute South MP, Jonathan Odur against the Parliamentary Commission and the Attorney General last week.

                          The petitioners argued that Parliament had irregularly allocated Shs10bn to the Parliamentary Commission while passing the Shs304bn COVID-19 supplementary budget.

                          Parliament had used its discretionary powers to cause the reallocation.

                          While giving his ruling, Justice Elubu ordered that the Legislators should return the Shs20m to the Parliament Commission or hand it over to their respective district COVID-19 Task Forces that are mandated to fight the pandemic.

                          The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga had on Tuesday told MPs that had returned the money that it would be sent to their respective District COVID-19 task forces.

                            Folks, Jinja hospital director disowns postmortem report in RDC Sakwa’s trial

                            The director of Jinja Regional Referral hospital Florence Tugumisirize has told journalists that the postmortem report which confirms that late Charles Isanga died as a result of blunt force trauma was not conducted at their mortuary.

                            Isanga, a trader from Lwanda village in Mafubira sub county, Jinja district died last month days after a scuffle involving him and Jinja Resident District Commissioner Erick Sakwa. The RDC was reportedly enforcing presidential directives to stop the spread of coronavirus disease when he found Isanga operating a kiosk on March 22.

                            According to the directives, the president had banned the operations of all non-food stores as one of the measures to reduce person-to-person contact. Only essential services were allowed to continue operating during a lockdown which started in March.

                            On April 17, almost a month later, reports indicated that Isanga had succumbed to injuries sustained during the fracas. In the aftermath, Sakwa was arrested and charged with manslaughter, robbery and malicious damage.

                            The main exhibit in the charges of manslaughter is a postmortem report signed by one Dr Ssenyonjo, indicating that Isanga died as a result of blunt force trauma, a condition routinely involved in cases classified as accidents as well as in cases of suicide and homicide.

                            But Tugumisirize says that the said Dr Ssenyonjo who signed the report on behalf of the hospital is not their staff and is unknown to them as the management of Jinja Hospital. “I have been here for close to two months but the said Dr Ssenyonjo has never surfaced on any of our staff lists and the fact that he signed this report on our behalf indicates that its’ fake,” Tugumisirize said.

                            She added that the in-charge of Jinja hospital mortuary was trapped in Arua during the lockdown and since then, autopsy procedures have been referred to health facilities in the neighbouring districts. She also questions why the postmortem report does not have an official hospital stamp and her signature as the procedure demands and instead contains a police stamp.

                            Although the postmortem report contains a police stamp, the police spokesperson, Abbey Ngako declined to comment saying that the matter is already before the court.

                            For purposes of death certification, blunt force trauma is sometimes found in cases in which the immediate cause of death is a natural disease process like infections and organ failure. It can also result from several other scenarios like accidents, blast injuries, being struck by a firm object, bite wounds and chop injuries.

                              I always think that whenever MPs pass any bill or something that isn’t equitable will be condemned by the elites but am not seeing elites bashing MPs for giving slums city status and yet you bashed them for taking 20M in COVID-19, 29M in age limit amendment bill, 5M in Domestic relations bill.


                              LEADERS ARE RUINING NATIONAL COFFERS WITH SLUM CITIES AND THEMSELVES

                              This same 9th Parliament created 23 districts in 2015 to start operations by 2020. We are in 2020 and less than half of the created districts are not operational because they are no funds to make them start but, even those which managed to start off, they are broke cant even make 10km of murram roads like those created MPs created in 2010.

                              The MPs have all this information in Parliament about dysfunctionality of the districts they created and even their accountability queries are with Local Government Accountability committee.

                              The legislation have abudget 600bn per year, far bigger than the development budget for districts and Municipalities of Uganda combined, these MPs nolonger mind about ugandans

                              The municipalities that began in 2017 like Bugiri, Sheema, Njeru, Nebbi, Pallisa can hardly construct 1km of tarmac road, they are still renting their offices , they can hardly meet the basics as Municipality

                              Now some of the Municipalities have now turned into Cities and
                              City will have 2 Divisions @ Division will have its own MP and then the City will have a Woman MP and as citizens look at the cost that will be spent on these slum cities

                              Only Jinja City will have 3 Divisions and thus 3 Constituency MPs

                              Cities to start in july 2020 include Mbarara ,Jinja ,
                              Fort Portal ,Arua ,Gulu, Mbale
                              Masaka

                              Cities to begin 2021 include
                              Hoima, Lira ,Soroti

                              Cities to begin in 2023 include
                              Moroto,Nakasongola ,Kabale
                              Wakiso.
                              some the said cities u can move around them as u count people and finish in less than 4hrs, like wakiso, moroto, nakasongola and kabale.

                              I applaud Hon Opendi if what she did was in good faith not being populist but it was wrong for MPs to pass slum cities after same MPs knows very well that kasanda, Bugweri district and many others have failed to kick off coz of Government constraints in finance

                              Still on MPs being given 10bn out 301bn that was passed as Supplementary Budget(SB) on COVID-19.
                              The President directed them to take the money to districts task force , i wish u tell us what was the use of 55 million payment to RDCs and the 165 millions for the District leaderships?
                              In SB, the Districts were catered why did u think that Mps will be conduits of govt money.
                              For kampala they already received 2bn, and all RDCs and other leadership received their vote, why again to MPs another 20M .
                              Where will the 5 Youth MPs, 5PWDs Representatives, 5MPs for workers, 10 MPs for UPDF, 13 Ex-Officials report the 20M.

                              Its evident Mr Museven did what he did and gave MPs little of 10bn and took away 291bn and 490bn on classfied budget, 600m euros he borrowed.
                              He passed all decrees that is making ugandans striving with hunger with no any incetives given to the public who have sustained his Empire for the last 35yrs.

                              People should thinks beyond COVID-19 and understand it that there’s no any MP who will rescue them,we need to fight and make uganda free again and this hunger should be yardstick to get rid of oppression leaders that dont mind on its citizens.

                              Out of 301bn , citizens were allocated 2.5bn for testing kits and the rest to sustain his throne and appress the citizens.
                              Its not late for ugandans to wake up and fight for what belong to them because corona has brought us all on board and hunger is striking us equally.

                              COVID-19 has exposed this Government that it has no touch with its citizens who pay tax to maintain it

                              FOR GOD N MY COUNTRY

                                A feud has erupted in Kisoro district between the Kisoro RDC Capt. Peter Mugisha and the District Health Officer (DHO) Dr Steven Nsabiyunva over the money that has been allocated to the district to fight Covid19.Peter Mugisha

                                The district which borders Rwanda received Shs 165Million from the Ministry of Health, but the DHO is accusing the RDC of intimidating him over this money.

                                Dr Nsabiyunva says on Monday night, the RDC deployed soldiers at his residence at Gatovu village in Kisoro Municipality to arrest him, but he happened to be out at the time.

                                He says when he was told that soldiers were at his house, he called the District Chairman Abel Bizimana who advised him not to come home but to find somewhere to spend the night.

                                Nsabiyunva claims the RDC, Capt Mugisha demands a share of the Covid19 money.

                                “The money that RDC says he wants to be given to facilitate security has its guidelines; it is to pay health workers and not security,” he said. The RDCs were given their own money, he should use that.”

                                In response, RDC Mugisha denied receiving any other money. He warned that if he is not given money to facilitate the patrol operations and pay allowances to the drivers and the soldiers, he is to withdraw them.

                                The RDC said he believed that the Shs 165Million was meant to facilitate all Covid19 operations including security. He added that even the money he has been using to fuel patrol trucks was from well-wishers.

                                Capt. Mugisha also denied deploying soldiers at the DHO’s house.

                                This fall out worsened yesterday when the district chairman, Mr Abel Bizimana announced that he had decided to quit the district Covid19 task force until the RDC and DHO resolve their conflict.

                                He said he couldn’t remain on a team where the two main stakeholders who were given money by government are fighting each other.

                                ” I have decided to stop engaging in any activity of Covid19 till a mediation is made between these two big horns. The DHO was given Shs 165million, the RDC has over Shs 80million; I am just a politician, I am ceremonial and I cannot be on a fighting team,” Bizimana said.

                                  Press Release

                                  The Joint Security Team have arrested two suspects for defying the Presidential directives intended to curb the spread of COVID 19.

                                  The suspects are Disc Jockeys (DJ) Nabeta Nimrod and Walakira Shafiq. The duo were picked by security team from Makindye Division, Kampala while distributing food.

                                  Its alleged that the Prime Minister’s office had given them to distribute the food that was donated by well wishers to all the DJs.

                                  Nimrod instead of distributing food to the allocated group, he called people and started distributing it without observing the social distance.
                                  He was supposed to deliver the food to DJs without gathering a crowd and he did the opposite.

                                  He is currently detained at Katwe Police Station on charges of doing acts likely to spread infectious disease.
                                  Investigations into the allegations are underway.
