THE Deputy Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, has directed the Ministry of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and Metropolitan Affairs to present a statement on the funding for construction and maintenance for the past three years and the status of roads in the city. Tayebwa who chaired the House on Tuesday afternoon gave accounts of several Ugandans on social media complaining about the potholes and citing reports that women are producing prematurely because of potholes. “Social media, especially, Twitter is a wash with an exhibition of potholes in Kampala. We have potholes of every design, and size, deep, shallow, wide, narrow, filled with water, and dry ones, they are all in Kampala,” he told MPs. He said he had received reports from MPs that potholes are affecting the lives of Ugandans. “Imagine you are from URA from sorting your tax issues and then passing in potholes and breaking your shock absorbers, and then ask yourself why? I ask myself how ambulances navigate these roads, especially with pregnant women,” he said adding that: “Hon. Linos came and talked to me that some men are no longer functioning well because their backs are broken because of potholes. Mama Cecilia told me women are producing prematurely because of potholes.”

The deputy speaker directed the Minister for Kampala to present a statement to that effect for Parliament to see whether “the problem is from us, or we don’t appropriate enough money.” On the weekend, a cross section of Ugandans took to Twitter to express their anger at the poor state of roads in Kampala. Under the hashtag#KampalaPotholeExhibition, different social media users shared photos of roads with potholes across the city, with many of them castigating the government for turning a blind eye on the deteriorating road conditions in the different parts of the city.

STORY BY: MOSES MUGALULA NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
ADAM Mulwana, populary known for Rtd. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye’s 2011 and 2016 presidential campaign hit song, ‘Toka kwa bara bara, Besigye ameyingiya, towa kwa baasi yakwo tunayenda kifunguwo’ and ‘Besigye Songa mbere’, poisoned! His liver was affected, we are told, thanks to the medical doctors who have done everything possible to manage the situation. This evening, a delegation of Senior Party leaders led by Party President Hon. Eng. Patrick Oboi Amuriat (POA) paid a courtesy visit to this star boy Adam Mulwana at his home in Luwafu Parish, Makindye Division, Kampala City.

This leading investigative news website is reliably informed that, Adam Mulwana an artist and a staunch FDC Party member is recuperating well and assured the Party President and the delegation that he can now stand on his feet. Mr. Mulwana was diagnosed with poison which affected his liver but he is being managed. The Party delegation also consisted of; Hon. William Nzoghu Mushabe the FDC Deputy President, Hon. Kaps Hassan Fungaroo the FDC Party National mobilisation and Organization Secretary, Hon. Boniface Toterebuka Bamwenda the Party Electoral Commission Chairman, Mr. Kyambadde Wilberforce the Deputy Treasurer General, Mr. Mulindwa Walid Lubega the National Youth League Chairman, Party Staffs; among others.

The Party President on behalf of the delegation delivered the Party’s contribution towards the support and welfare of Mr. Mulwana and promised him that he will never walk alone. Mulwana once contested for councilor but he didnt make it.

According to a story published by Daily Monitor in 2021, Adam Mulwana once talked about being trailed by strange people for a mere song he did. “I do not tell people where I stay. In fact, I have switched houses four times ever since the campaigns began,” Mulwana would later reveal to Daily Monitor. He said, “I have moved my two children to another location to protect them. So I only stay with my wife. I think that way we are safer.” On several occasions, Mulwana told media that he had mysterious men come to his home, questioning his wife about his whereabouts with no clear reason. “That is the reason I have kept moving only for them to locate me again,” he explains. Mulwana has been moving within the musical circles for a while. He started out in 2010 as a ‘poster boy’ in the now defunct Eagles Production. “My role was promotion. I was always assigned to erect banners and put up posters in various locations ahead of the band’s shows,” Mulwana revealed to Daily Monitor. He remembered being deployed to every corner of the country to make sure the posters were up; a job he took very seriously until the time the band started breaking up. The last born in a family of five was born in Buziranduulu, Luweero District. And just like his deceased parents, he was a strong supporter of the NRM government. “My father died for this government,” he repeatedly proclaims. It is his two elder brothers, however, who died first as Kadogos in the NRA bush war. As he has been told by his maternal uncle who became his guardian after his father’s death, Mulwana’s two brothers joined the Bush War as young teenagers and were both killed in 1983. His father, having shielded the NRA soldiers for too long was murdered around 1985 for supporting the rebels and the mother was consequently married off to a government soldier in Nakasongola. “She came back around 1988 but died in 2004,” Mulwana told Daily Monitor in an interview narrating how he fell in love with Dr. Besigye and FDC.
Here at News Editor Media, we wish Adam Mulwana a quick recovery

STORY BY: MOSES MUGALULA LUWERO TRIANGLE
THE Head of State who doubles as Chairman of the ruling NRM Party Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni has officially launched another war in Luwero Triangle, this time not a guerilla but a war against poverty which he has vowed to fight and end successfully. Museveni directed his blue eyed girl Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye commonly known as Chief Muzukkulu to rally all ONC army of cordinators and invade Luwero Triangle, go district by district, constituency by constituency, village per village identifying homesteads having vulnarable people, but with space, give them chicks, hybrid goats and sheep to help them end poverty. For starters, Hajjat Namyalo is the PA Office of the National Chairman (ONC) NRM, also Special Presidential Advisor (SPA) and leader ‘Jjajja tova ku Main, sigala ku ballot’, a campaign speareheaded by youth seaking for Museveni’s return as President in 2026 and beyond.
Hajjat Namyalo delivering chicks and feeds to Luwero people given by president Museveni to help them fight poverty
Speaking to hundreds of people today in the three constituencies of Baamunanika, Katikamu North and Katikamu South where she delivered 12,000 chicken, over 600 bags feeds and 240 hybrid goats, a workholick Namyalo said President Museveni is fed up of too much bureaucracy in government programs put in place to fight and end poverty. Ms. Namyalo has directives from The Head of State to directly liase with village chairpersons, help her identify vulnarable families, receive chicks, goats, sheep and everything required to help them look after the project until it’s ready for them to start harvesting money. “Today i am here to launch ONC Wealth creation campaign under office of the National Chairman NRM, supervised by the Chairman President Museveni, himself. He has given me directives to directly reach out to vulnarable poor, give them chicks, goats and sheep, give you freeds, give you veterinary officers and financial upkeep so that you don’t give excuses. Poverty must be history in Luwero triangle. We will together devise means to end poverty in Luwero. War against poverty is commanded by Gen. Museveni and it will be defeated.” Hajjat Namyalo told the people of Bamunaanika, Ziroobwe in Luweero district. For about four decades, Luwero Triangle where NRA guerilla war was fought has suffered the ravages of poverty. President Museveni has introduced a number of programs to end poverty but have been hit so much by bureaucracy and corruption. This time looks like he has finally found a lasting solution to the numerous ills that bedvils poverty in Luwero triangle by deploying his Personal assistant Namyalo and a team of ONC cordinators to directly reach out all villages and deliver these items to the beneficiary. Museveni directed that this time, all items to fight poverty must be delivered straight to the beneficiary not through middlemen or brokers. This is what Hajjat Namyalo fulfilled today in the three constituencies making up Luwero districts. “Because public has been complaining about how slow are government programs, that many don’t benefit from such programs due to high bureaucracy and a lot of money wasted in monitoring, the president has changed his approach. He has thence given directives to the manager ONC and she has complied.” Deputy PRO ONC Dr. Tibamwenda Brenda briefed News Editor Media.
Excitement as a Luwero lady receives a hybrid goat from ONC
In this campaign, ONC is boosting agriculture by mainly targeting the youth and in this endeavor, Hajjat Hadijah is donating 8000 chicks and 80 hybrid goats to the various families every constituency for the start. In Katikamu North, each of 20 people identified by local chairpersons received 200 chicks, other 40 people received 80 hybrid goats and 750kgs of feeds that beginning with starters mash, growers mash, and finisher mash plus medication for the chicks, all delivered by Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye. Same to other two constituencies of Katikamu South and in Ziroobwe, Baamunaanika were vulnarable families received 8000 chicks, feeds and 160 hybrid goats to boost their incomes. In every region, a veterinary officer was identified to monitor and treat for free of charge, the poultry and goats. Those who got chicks and goats were also given transport facilitation to help them take the chicks, goats and feeds to their respective homes. Mr. Hakim Kyeswa who is attached to ONC Media desk told us, the next stop over is in Nakaseke district next week and Nakasongola district all in Luweero triangle. Then ONC wealth creation drive will spread to other Luweero triangle districts, and other parts of the country. “This is a successful project loking at the speed, effeciency and transparency of the ONC boss Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo and her team. People have today received chicks, goats and feeds instantly. It’s time for action.” Said Hakim Kyeswa. He said, basically, this project has come to backup parish development model and Emyoga. Only that this one has no bureaucracy. Hakim Kyeswa told us that, “ONC doesnt only give out projects but also do feasibility study about this program and other government progams. We capture them and other presidential pledges. This program under our able leader Hajjat Namyalo will automatically be a success, poverty will be history.” Addressing residents in Katikamu, Hajjat Namyalo clearly stated that this is a program from the office of the National Chairman NRM, not from the NRM secretariate.

OPM receiving 500 iron sheets delivered by Speaker Annet Anita Among
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
THIS publication has learnt that the cost of each iron sheet meant for Karamoja cost the tax payer Shs 71,000. According to documents that we have seen, that specific 28 size gauge ordinary corrugated galvanized, pre-painted (sand beige) is only supplied at the specific behest of the Office of the Price Minister, and at selected manufacturers. Yesterday, a team dispatched from the office of the Speaker spent the day at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) warehouse in Namanve as they took back iron sheets that they had paid for, but not delivered 3 weeks later. Mr Joseph Sabiti, the Speaker’s Private Press Secretary (PPS) confirmed to this publication that the iron sheets had been finally accepted by OPM. “There were procedural issues to be followed and the coordination. Then the CID (criminal investigative department of police) office had to confirm that it was the quality and the quantity but finally, all was put in place and we are now fine,” Mr Sabiti said in an interview. A market survey conducted by this publication revealed that the same gauge and quoits, in different colour sheds can be acquired at a price ranging from Shs 35,000-Shs 40,000, which has sparked debate and raised procurement queries at OPM. On 15th March 2023, Speaker Among while presiding over the plenary session said: “I have taken a conscious decision to deliver 500 iron sheets to your stores in Namanve. This delivery is to compensate for the iron sheets of a similar quantity and quality that were delivered in Bukedea District in 2022.” Attempts to get a comment from the known OPM officials were futile after numerous unanswered calls. Several ministers and MPs, including Speaker Among, Vice President Alupo and former Speaker Rebeca Kadaga have openly come out to condemn the manner in which they were dragged into the scandal, yet they did not solicit, nor know how the irons sheets got to their constituencies.

THE Deputy Speaker of Parliament of Uganda Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa has commended committees of Parliament in the fight against corruption in the country. Presiding of Parliament today afternoon, Tayebwa said feedback from the public including religious leaders is a testimony that Parliamentary committees were doing their job. “I saw many church leaders preaching about the issue of fighting corruption. I would like to acknowledge everyone for the good job they are doing in the Committees,” the Deputy Speaker said. “From sectoral Committees to oversight Committees, you are doing your part,” he added, commending them for unearthing gross abuse of public resources. Committees of Parliament have in recent months interrogated and recommended a litany of sanctions against officials found to have misappropriated funds with the recent incident being at a public provident fund body, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). The parliamentary select committee also recommended that the Labour minister, top managers, board members, and some senior officials at the fund step down and called upon the Inspectorate of Government and Auditor-General to do a forensics audit and prosecute the culprits. Meanwhile, Tayebwa also tasked three ministries including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Local Government, and Ministry of Public Service to report to Parliament within one week over issues relating to Accounting Officers.
Deputy Speaker presiding over House today
Mr. Martin Ojara Mapenduzi, the Member of Parliament representing Gulu West said Parliament needs to take a bold decision to make sure that those who cause financial loss to the government or those who are corrupt are dropped and replaced with those who are competent. “When an officer is found to be abusing or causing financial loss to the government, there must be uniformity in the way we treat them,” Mr. Mapenduzi said. Hon. Basil Kiiza Bataringaya, the Kashari South MP said Parliament has been passing very strong laws that eventually affect accounting officers. “Accounting officers seem to be running from their responsibilities. Some may be celebrating when they are dropped, and their juniors are appointed,” he said.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA
RUBAGA South Member of Parliament Hon. Aloysius Mukasa has asked Parliament of Uganda to cause for urgent punishment of all security officers in Miltary and Uganda Police Force (UPF) who on Thursday violently assaulted Chairman Fred Nyanzi and broke his foot while he was on Party assignment in Kyenjojo district! Addressing media at Rubaga Hospital where National Unity Platform (NUP) National Mobilizer Nyanzi was rushed to save his life, area MP Mukasa said, the perpetrators must be taught a lesson for continuing to infringe on the rights of citizens. Security forces brutaly arrested Chairman Nyanzi, reportedly breaking his foot in Kyenjojo when police and military invaded and disrupted a lawful party activity of Kunga Kunga, a Party National Mobilization Campaign.

In his statement on Thursday evening, NUP President Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi, brother to Chairman Nyanzi said, “Today, the cowardly regime yet again launched a violent attack on our leaders in Western Uganda! The police and military attacked our leaders as they went to induct and launch our Mobilisation Teams for Tooro Sub-region in Kyenjojo District. Comrade Nyanzi Fred Ssentamu and one of our local coordinators Musinguzi Ibrahim were brutaly assaulted. They were both rushed to Kyenjojo hospital where they are receiving treatment. Our other comrades were violently dispersed. We condemn this criminality in the strongest terms”. Condemning this attack on the top Party leader, MP Mukasa said security officers in Uganda have continued to demonstrate unprofessionalism of the highest order against the citizens calling upon Parliament to act and stop what he called impunity before Ugandans rise up to defend themselves against what he referred to as provocation by the security organs!
The NUP MP revealed to media how he has a heavy heart after visiting his colleague Fred Nyanzi, the 2021 NUP candidate for Kampala Central. “I am speaking to you with a heavy heart after visting my brother Nyanzi who is currently admitted at Rubaga hospital. The security brutality and torture that has been subjecting civilians to inhumane treatment must stop and perpetrators be punished. It is saddening to learn that Chairman Nyanzi was harassed and brutally beaten up by the police and military for exercising his constitutional rights. It is even more distressing to know that he is now admitted with a fractured foot.” Said Rubaga South MP Aloysius Mukasa while addressing media.
He told journalists that he condemns the police and military’s actions in the strongest terms possible. “No Ugandan should be subjected to such harsh treatment for simply exercising his or her rights as a civilian. I therefore call upon Parliament of Uganda to intervene and save our people.” Said MP Mukasa, adding, “So to masters of these heartless security officers, must take urgent action to address this issue and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions. The police and military forces are meant to protect and serve the citizens of this nation, not inflict harm upon them. We can not keep folding our hands while such atrocities continue to happen.”
Other NUP leaders who were arrested in Kyenjojo, released
Praying for his colleague, Hon. Mukasa said, “The people of Rubaga South stand with Chairman Nyanzi and his family during this difficult time, and we pray for his quick recovery and we embark on spreading the gospel of the mighty NUP Party countrywide.” Insiders say, Chairman Nyanzi and MP Mukasa ara buddies. On another note, Hon. Mukasa has wished the people of Rubaga South a happy Easter and urged them to remain foccussed on the struggle to liberate their country.

When the Fund announced a 30-day window for all employers to register with NSSF in compliance with the NSSF (Amendment) Act 2022 which introduced mandatory contributions by all workers regardless of the size of the enterprise or number of employees. The campaign is codenamed ‘Now You Can’.

THE Court of Appeal in Kampala has dismissed an application by URA opposing the refund of over UGX 25 billion to the Fund following the judgment of the High Court which overturned the decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal and a tax assessment against the Fund of UGX 45 billion. The tax body had initially issued a tax assessment of UGX 84 billion and the Fund was required to pay 30 percent of the tax assessed before the dispute was heard by the Tax Appeals Tribunal. The High Court overturned the assessment which meant that URA was required to refund the 30 percent with accrued interest. URA has never refunded the money. Hon. Justice Oscar Kihika in his ruling delivered on March 24, 2023 dismissed the application on grounds that URA failed to prove that its substantive appeal against an earlier decision of the High Court has a likelihood of success. “The Applicant (URA) is in the process of obtaining leave to appeal, having filed a Notice of Appeal. However, having failed to establish whether or not the intended appeal has a likelihood of success, this Court is of the view that the balance of convenience does favour the Respondent (NSSF) which has a judgment in its hands.” Reads Justice Kihika’s ruling. It goes on to read, “I find, therefore, that the Applicant has failed to establish that the Appeal will be rendered nugatory if an order for stay of execution is not issued.” He also found that there was no evidence of irreparable damage that URA could suffer in the event that a stay of execution was not granted, in response to the tax body’s submissions. On the contrary, NSSF stood to suffer substantial loss since they have been in court since 2014 and since obtaining judgment in its favour, URA had without sufficient cause, held onto the 30% that was paid in 2014. NSSF Ag. Managing Director Patrick Ayota welcomed the court’s decision saying that the funds will be invested to earn a return for the members. “This ruling gives us more confidence as we pursue the substantive case through the courts that our decision will be vindicated,” he said. In 2013 URA conducted a Tax audit on the Fund and assessed taxes on NSSF interest paid to members. However, this was a departure from URA’s earlier position contained in November 1, 2011, letter, which had advised NSSF that the interest paid to members is allowed as a deductible expense for income tax purposes. The Fund objected and filed a case in the high court against URA. Through an arbitration process, the assessment was reduced from UGX 84 billion to 42 billion but the parties failed to agree on the tax treatment of interest the Fund declares and pays to members annually.The dispute on the tax treatment of Interest case was transferred to the tax appeals tribunal which ruled against the Fund upholding the assessment of 42 Billion in March 2020. Dissatisfied with the decision of the tribunal, the Fund appealed to the commercial division of the High Court, arguing that whereas the Tribunal decided that members’ savings are not a debt obligation as they are excluded from the definition, which is provided in the Income tax act definition, this was erroneous because the income tax act does not state so. The Fund also argued that the tribunal treated interest paid to members as a dividend which is contrary to the definition of dividends in the Income Tax Act and that the financial impact of the tribunal ruling would effectively impair its ability to preserve the value of members’ savings. In November 2020, the High court agreed with the Fund. In his ruling, Justice Boniface Wamala set aside the tax tribunal ruling that interest paid by the Fund is a deductible expense for income tax purposes.

The MK Movement National Vice Chairman Western Uganda, Balaam Barugahara on Saturday presided over the launch of the first ever MK Movement Diaspora Chapter and leadership structure in London, United Kingdom. The event which brought together dozens of hundreds of Gen. Kainerugaba supporters from different parts of the United Kingdom, took place at Royal Regency, London. First son Muhoozi Kainerugaba recently made a shocking declaration how he will contest for President in 2026, come rainfall or sunshine. His supporters in UK vowed to stand, support and bankroll President Museveni’s son for President.
Gen. Muhoozi addressing his supporters
The MK Movement is a group of Ugandans both within and out of the country laying the groundwork for Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to become the next President of Uganda. It supretends several groups which include among others MK Army, Team Chairman, Avengers, Revolutionary Guards and Original Army. Speaking during the commissioning, Mr Balaam Barugahara, who was accompanied by Igara East MP Hon Michael Mawanda, a member of CEC MK Movement, applauded the organizers for positively contributing to building of a better Uganda. “I want to thank the team which has organized this historic event. The start is always hard but you have started in a bigger way. This is firm brick you have put to building our country. Our boss, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the next President of Uganda, greets you and recognizes all these efforts,” Barugahara said on Saturday.
MK for President
“He (Gen Kainerugaba) is ready, determined and prepared to take over from where our grandfather will stop. He is the future of the young generation, understands its needs and is up to task to lead it for the better,” he added. Mr Barugahara further asked the organizers to later organize transparent elections and choose leaders of the Chapter, proposing that at least each county of the UK should be represented on the Committee for easy mobilization. He also called upon them to always observe transparency in their activities so as to move together as a group in pursuit of their objectives. “In politics you must be tolerant and allow criticism. You also need to sit down with others, make budgets in a transparent manner and let everyone know what you are spending on. Let everyone know what you are doing, no one will fight you.” Meanwhile, on Twitter, Gen Kainerugaba expressed pleasure with Mr Barugahara for commissioning the launch. He also said, “We are strong everywhere.” On his part, Hon Mawanda, called for support of Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba by every one despite being members of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. “I hear some of you are on the fence wondering whether to support MK Movement or NRM. You don’t have to be on the fence. I am a good example, I am a Member of Parliament representing Igara East on the NRM ticket, I am a strong supporter of NRM and I am a strong support of Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba,” Hon Mawanda said. Susan Debbie Nantongo, the Women’s Coordinator of the MK Movement UK Chapter, rallied the young people to embrace Gen Kainerugaba a gift to Uganda and one who wi transform the country and better their lives. “The choice is today and the choice is us. The future is in this man, let us give him a chance. He stands for the good of all of us,” Nantongo said during the launch. Last month, Gen Kainerugaba, now a Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, announced plans to run for the presidency in the 2026 elections, saying it was “time for our generation to shine”. He also said he will retire from the army this year.
