In Sheema—-

NRM party basing on its headquarters Kyandondo Kampala has officially today started nominating candidates for Sheema candidates to compete in the party primaries.

All these are happening after the Minister for science technology and innovation Dr Elioda Tumwesigye who has been the MP representing Sheema north left the constituency for Sheema municipality.

On 27th July 2018, Dr. Elioda was elected as the MP for newly created Sheema Municipality and on 30th July 2018 the seat was announced vacant.

Since then Sheema north people have had no representative in the parliament of Uganda though the electoral commission ordered for new elections within a period of sixty days.

So far only three candidates have publically revealed their interest to stand in NRM primaries and among these are; Nuwagaba Guma former Mitooma district RDC and currently RDC Bundibugyo district, Ms Naome Kibaaju former defence ministry employee and started working with NRM party immediately after the bush in 1986 and Vianne director Vianne high school.

The exact date of these elections is yet to be set according to NRM electoral commission.

Yesterday the District leaders led by the Chairman LC5 and a team from IRC visited the Sub County to assess the possible water sources.

The District earmarked 140m shillings to extend the water to Kabende and IRC has also allocated 140m on the same project.

Richard Rwabuhinga the District Chairperson asked the residents to be prepared to receive the water to fight the water borne diseases. He says the project is in line with the NRM core values of extending safe water, better roads and electricity to citizens.

In Bushenyi—-

Grade one magistrates’ court in Bushenyi presided over by his worship Paul Mujuni has today afternoon Aug. 08, 2018 officially withdrawn charges against the four accused anti-Tycoon Basajabalaba moslems.

The withdrawal of the cases followed a directive by the director of public prosecutions [DPP] Mike Chibita to Bushenyi chief magistrate that he no longer had interest in the cases.

His worship Paul Mujuni also released Mudafara Byagota who had spent three months in Nyamushekyera government prison.

Others who were charged alongside Byagota include; Umar Muhanguzi Deputy RDC Bundibugyo, Mr. Yasin Kyoota NRM chairman Ishaka division  and Isma Bacondoza a businessman and nephew to Tycoon Basajabalaba.

The four were accused of robbing millions of shillings from their rival’s shop, Muhammad Lukwago a close confidant to the tycoon.

The Ishaka moslem  fights emanated from a desire by Basajabalaba to take land where their main mosque in Ishaka is located. The fights have so far taken six months.

The mosque is still guarded by UPDF and Moslems cannot be allowed to hold prayers in it

CHAMELONE, PALLASO CLASH IN RWANDA

The Mayanja brothers, Pallaso and Jose Chameleone are currently at loggerheads and can hardly speak face to face.
The Mayanja brothers, Pallaso and Jose Chameleone are currently at loggerheads and can hardly speak face to face.

Sources say that their first show went down as planned but later they started fighting for supremacy at the second event that was held at Musanze Stadium. The major cause of the fight was Chameleone’s aggressiveness.

Pallaso, Weasel and Chameleone

While Pallaso was on stage, Chameleone cut short his performance by unplugging the microphone from the controllers, leaving Pallaso unable to sing hence taking over stage amidst his brother’s performance.

It is reported that Pallaso and Weasel criticized their elder brother’s behaviour something he was not ready to take in. He started throwing words at his brothers, bragging how is a legend.

But this did not go well with Pallaso either as he took to his social media platforms to express his dissatisfaction.

“Thank you, Rwanda. We are the future. Being legendary is something you should let the fans decide. I am blessed by God beyond borders and limits, our time is now, forget the old days. Cry, Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears, water the seeds of your future happiness,” Pallaso posted.

In Kabale

Councilors and other political leaders in Southern division in Kabale municipality have rejected the reinstatement of the embattled principal assistant town clerk James Twinamatsiko.

On 6th August 2018, the Kabale Municipality town clerk Joseph B. Monday transferred Twinamatsiko to southern division from central division replacing Alex Beingana, who was transferred to central division. Annet Mbabazi, the Treasurer for Central Division was transferred to Northern Division while Rose Arinaitwe was also transferred from Northern Division to Central Division as the Treasurer.

James Twinamatsiko served as the Principle Assistant Town Clerk for Southern Division from July 2015 to April 2016.   But, the announcement about his reinstatement has left political leaders in the division angered.  Leaders have rejected his reinstatement accusing him of being uncooperative, harsh, non-transparent, incompetent and corrupt.

Yesterday councilors held an emergency meeting and rejected Twinamatsiko accusing him for swindling councilor’s allowances worth 7million shillings during his term of office, which forced former councilors to drag the division to court. They also accused Twinamatsiko for failure to handover motorcycle registration number LG 010213, when he was handing over in 2016.

However, Twinamatsiko said that all the accusations raised by councilors are baseless. He added that he has been using the motorcycle because it’s Kabale municipal council property.

The Kabale town clerk Joseph B. Monday said that he has not received a complaint from southern division councilors.

Former FDC President Gen Mugisha Muntu has opened up for the first time on the contentious shuffle of the opposition parliamentary leadership, by his successor Patrick Amuriat Oboi.

Last week, the changes which continue to threaten dissecting the leading opposition party, saw Kasese Woman MP Hon Winnie Kiiza dropped as Leader of Opposition.

All MPs who did not support Mr. Oboi’s party presidency — save for Opposition Whip Hon Semujju Nganda — lost their positions in the shadow cabinet and parliamentary committees.

Gen Muntu in a brief statement today, praised the work of the outgoing leadership, for the great work done under his leadership over the years.

Muntu particularly praised Mrs Kiiza, who he said, outperformed all the past Leaders of Opposition in terms of boldness, and working towards unity.

He said that Hon. Winnie Kiiza took over the LOP post at a time when many questioned the importance of it.

“With great poise and charisma, she rallied opposition MPs around common goals. Her leadership has without doubt been the most successful when it comes to bringing together members of various political parties, including those in the ruling party. She was bold enough to stand for the people.”

Muntu noted that as the first woman to occupy this position post-independence, Hon. Kiiza has not only demonstrated to Ugandans the capacity women have to govern well, but is also  a proof that our country is not short of able, democratic and people-centered leaders.

Muntu went on to praise his other appointed opposition leaders Cecilia Ogwal, Sumujju Nganda, Reagan Okumu, Abdu Katuntu, Angeline Ossege, Hon. Gerald Karuhanga and others for their hard work and  contributions towards the furthering of democracy, justice and the rule of law in the country.

My appeal to FDC Members is that they should accept change and discuss weakness in it not to happen again. If you look at Nature, Man, animals and even plants, they all fear change, it being good or bad especially where there is need to predict the future. Look at Jesus, even when he was the son of God he feared death that was to transform him from physical human being to spiritual being. An animal once you attempt to change it from one farm to another even a better one, it will first try to escape or if you capture it from the bush to a home it will struggle to go back.  Museveni is not greedy for power largely but he fears change which he cannot predict. Geographically we are fearing the desert to come to the tropical world yet those who live in desert countries are richer than those in the tropical world. Accept that change and improve on it for a better FDC.

The writer is a senior secondary teacher and UPC party politician from Bushenyi.

In Mbarara

Hearing of criminal cases where former Presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye together with Patrick Amuriat  the FDC party President and Ingrid Turinawe the Party  Secretary for Mobilization as well as Kawempe North MP Mubarak Munyagwa are accused of assault , inciting violence, and malicious damage did not take place at Grade one magistrate court in Mbarara town.

The four politicians including one Fred Kato, Besigye’s driver, allegedly committed the offences as they moved in a procession through Mbarara town on 14^th November 2017 to hold a campaign rally for Patrick Amuriat at Kakyeka stadium. He was then contesting for FDC party presidency with Major Gen Mugisha Muntu, Moses Byamugisha  and Dan Matsiko.

They were arrested and taken to court but grade one magistrate Sanyu Mukasa granted them bail. Hearing of criminal cases against them was supposed to commence today but the state witnesses did not turn up and this forced the defence lawyer Erias Lukwago to ask court to discharge his clients urging that there is no proof indicating that state indeed had summoned the witnesses to give evidence the accused persons.

But the trial Magistrate Sanyu Mukasa adjourned the case to 19^th October in order to give ample time for both parties to be ready for the court hearing session.

Dr Besigye later told Journalists that the government’s intention is to undermine their finances, keep them away from their work and harass them as well. He warned that if judicial officials continue behaving the same way they will also decide not to come to court unless arrested.

He added that such attempts will never distract them from their legitimate struggle to challenge and remove what he called bad a Government.

In Kampala—–

Government has accepted to suspend the ban on sale of airtime scratch cards as had been ordered recently.

Last month, government phased out scratch cards replacing them with electronic airtime attracting an outcry by members of the public especially in rural areas.

On Thursday, Members of Parliament put to task the Minister for ICT and National Guidance Frank Tumwebaze to explain why government didn’t consult the public before phasing out the scratch cards.

The legislators accused government of only looking at the side of telecom companies and making money but leaving out consumers who are the end users.

However, in response, Tumwebaze accepted that the phasing out of scratch cards should be gradual to reduce the inconveniences to people.

“We agree that there is a problem of accessibility of electronic airtime and there isn’t a need of forcefully banning scratch cards, but we will allow it to be phased out by the market forces of demand and supply.” Tumwebaze said.

On July 31, all telecom companies phased out airtime scratch cards in favour of electronic airtime.
Tumwebaze recently defended the move to ban scratch cards saying that the decision had been made by cabinet in March as one of the ways to improve security and also reduce fake scratch cards.

He explained that with the electronic airtime in place, it would make it easy to trace criminals in case of any crimes committed which according to Tumwebaze was not the case with scratch cards.

The minister added that it will improve revenue assuarance by the government since URA can determine the amount of airtime sold by telecom operators.

In Lyantonde—-

A group of unemployed youth in Lyantonde District, have  stormed the office of the RDC, Sulaiman Tuguragara Matojo protesting the failure by a private company to send them abroad to work.

According to their leader Joseph Mukasa, the youth allegedly paid money to the managers of Six Star International, a private job placement firm, to secure jobs for them in Afghanistan to work as security guards, maids and cashiers in Afghanistan.

The stranded youth allege that they paid between Shs1 million and Shs2.5 million to the company to facilitate their visa applications among other travel requirements.

They accuse Matojo of protecting the proprietors of Six Star International to defraud them because one year later, he has not bothered to intervene.

The youth said they are seeking a refund of their money since the jobs are not available.

However, Matojo said he doesn’t know what is wrong with company directors because the youth paid the job placement money in November last year. He thus advised the youth to file a civil case against the company directors and promised to be a key witness.

“I have opted to report a civil suit before Lyantonde Grade One Magistrate and I am ready to be a key witness in the case,” Matojo said

Earlier, Ms Eva Birungi the company manager had said that the company got some problems and asked the affected youth to be calm, since arrangements are underway to facilitate their travel to Afghanistan.

In Kampala—-

Parliament has directed fresh elections in Sheema North constituency following the swearing-in of the area MP, Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye, who ceased representing the constituency and switched to Sheema Municipality.

The vacant seat was declared by the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga after witnessing the swearing in of Tumwesigye and reporting to parliament that Tumwesigye resignation letter from Sheema North was received by the office of the Speaker.

Kadaga said that the clerk to parliament should declare the Sheema North vacant to allow a by-election to be conducted.

“This morning I received a letter of resignation from honourable Elioda Tumwesigye, I therefore direct the Clerk to declare the seat of vacant so that a by-election can be held,’ Kadaga said.

Tumwesigye, who is also the minister of Science and Technology, was voted in Sheema Municipality without resigning the seat as MP for the Sheema North.

He said however that the law didn’t require him to do so.

So far only three candidates have publically revealed their interest to stand in NRM primaries and among these are; Nuwagaba Guma former Mitooma district RDC and currently RDC Bundibugyo district, Ms Naome Kibaaju former defence ministry employee and started working with NRM party immediately after the bush in 1986 and Vianne director Vianne high school.

MANCHESTER UNITED hosts LEICESTER CITY at Old Trafford today in EPL 2018/2019 SEASON opener

MAN UTD V LEICESTER CITY

Speaking to Manchester United’s own TV station following a 1-0 defeat by Bayern Munich on 5 August, Jose Mourinho said his side would face “a difficult season” unless they signed at least one more player.

Thirty-six hours before the 2018-19 Premier League was set to begin – United welcome Leicester to Old Trafford on Friday night – Mourinho was asked if he had the “tools to compete” with Manchester City and Liverpool.

“I know the words you want me to say,” he said. “I think by the end of November, December you won’t need words, you will see by then which teams are candidates to win the Premier League.”

Does that mean there is trouble ahead for Manchester United?

.The confidence Mourinho expressed about United getting an additional signing on 31 July during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States was based around multiple targets.

They ranged from Leicester’s Harry Maguire to Barcelona’s Yerry Mina (who subsequently joined Everton), via seasoned internationals Jerome Boateng and – briefly – Godin.

United have the money to do big deals. They were prepared to do exactly that to get a top player. Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward would not have flinched had he been told £100m, a sum that would have smashed both United’s club record transfer fee and the world record for a defender, was the price to be paid for for the right man.

Mourinho warns of ‘difficult season’

But the right man never materialised. Over the course of a lengthy meeting between United and Real Madrid top brass in Miami last month, Raphael Varane never became a discussion topic because it was obvious the Champions League winners would not have sold him.

Talks about Maguire never progressed beyond the outline stage because, with no need to sell and secure in the knowledge the England man had four years left on his contract, Leicester were pushing the price upwards, to the level Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk.

Where does this leave Mourinho?

If Mourinho’s “difficult season” assessment is taken at face value, the Portuguese is heading towards a turbulent few months.

It is clear he has not got the players he wanted.

Mourinho has given youth a chance at Old Trafford but he is also of the view that if Manchester City’s dominance is going to be challenged, it must be with a core of experienced, top-quality players, who tend to be around 29 years of age with little resale value.

Those responsible for signing the cheques tend to look longer term. Paul Pogba, for instance, was bought at huge cost, £89m, and comes with an enormous social media following, 5.62m on Twitter alone. In the modern game, such things matter.

So, whether Mourinho wanted to or not – and there is no evidence he did – Pogba would not have been sold this summer, despite suggestions the Frenchman would be open to exiting Old Trafford for a second time.

United must also factor in market volatility in assessing their transfer dealings.

Neymar’s £200m move from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain 12 months ago might be dismissed as an exception. But it created a ripple effect that led to Barcelona signing Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho for £135.5m and £142m respectively.

Sir Alex Ferguson was ridiculed for saying there was “no value in the market” but United have to think seriously before adopting a “pay what it takes” stance.

Ultimately, Mourinho has at his disposal the same squad that finished runners-up last season, minus the retired Michael Carrick, and plus Brazil World Cup midfielder Fred and teenage full-back Diogo Dalot.

In addition, to his satisfaction but the chagrin of many United fans, Mourinho also has Marouane Fellaini, who ended months of speculation by signing a two-year contract at the end of June.
