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

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section.

It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election.

What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services.

Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu.

Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child in a UPE school because you have no Ndagamuntu, you now know.  What about those people who have been denied medical service because of not having it? What about all the panda gari (night patrols) where criminals armed with AK47 guns demand for the ID to ascertain that you are not a "terrorist" or criminal?  What about applying for jobs and you must provide the ID?

We shall talk about the LDU thugs destroying Ndagamuntu of people blocked at night who do not give money to be let go?  This is a very big topic and We are gonna ask one of the security analysts on Our team to do a story on it.

MLN.

We inform the Uninformed.

Thanks.
