Information is Power

No-nonsense Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) commander-land forces, Lt. Gen. Peter Elwelu has urged youth to stretch to the furthest limits in their pursuit for jobs— including thinking of selling cow dung for a living. While addressing congregants during a church service in Mukono recently, Elwelu castigated youths for riding on the excuse of unemployment to join ‘misleading’ opposition groups such as People Power. Equating People Power to “Byooya bya nswa” (ant wings/ empty promises), Elwelu urged youths to exercise creativity so as to be able to create their own jobs. “When I see people running around; ooo… omulimo tewali, omulimo tewali, omulimo [there are no jobs]. Tumbavu! (sic),” said a tough-talking Elwelu. He branded such people who cry that there are no jobs as ignorant and lazy. He reminded them that Uganda is so endowed as a country that everything in it — including cow dung and banana leaves — can be sold for money. “Even banana leaves have market, even cow dun...

The church is being built in memory of the late Archbishop Silvanus Wani. Gratitude is a biblical virtue and certainly the people who donate to the church deserve our appreciation. A big thanx to the president for his generous donation.

Finally, for the very first time, an encrypted messaging service provider is taking legal action against a private entity that has carried out malicious attacks against its users. Facebook filed a lawsuit against Israeli mobile surveillance firm NSO Group on Tuesday 29 October 2019, alleging that the company was actively involved in hacking users of its end-to-end encrypted WhatsApp messaging service. Earlier this year, it was discovered that WhatsApp had a critical vulnerability that attackers were found exploiting in the wild to remotely install Pegasus spyware on targeted Android and iOS devices. The flaw (CVE-2019-3568) successfully allowed attackers to silently install the spyware app on targeted phones by merely placing a WhatsApp video call with specially crafted requests, even when the call was not answered. Developed by NSO Group, Pegasus allows access to an incredible amount of data from victims' smartphones remotely, including their text messages, emails, WhatsAp...

There are other Alternatives which We can use to Peacefully acquire Transition of New Government but Unfortunately, Many Ugandans may not Love it because there was a Time in August 2017 When i tried to emanet the other Alternative for Change of Government, Sadly Enough, Many Ugandans Abused and attacked me for Plotting a Retirement Leniency For Mr Museveni who may Probably not face the Wrath of Ugandans after He made Many People Suffer, others Tortured and others Killed.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regime ki...

First of all, if you have any of the below-listed apps installed on your Android device, you are advised to uninstall it immediately. Cybersecurity researchers have identified 42 apps on the Google Play Store with a total of more than 8 million downloads, which were initially distributed as legitimate applications but later updated to maliciously display full-screen advertisements to their users. Discovered by ESET security researcher Lukas Stefanko, these adware Android applications were developed by a Vietnamese university student, who easily got tracked likely because he never bothered to hide his identity. The publicly available registration details of a domain associated with the adware apps helped find the identity of the rogue developer, including his real name, address, and phone number, which eventually led the researcher to his personal accounts on Facebook, GitHub, and YouTube. "Seeing that the developer did not take any measures to protect his identity,...

President Yoweri Museveni who is in Russia to attend the Russia – Africa Summit has held talks with Russian President, Vladimir Putin. The two leaders met on the sidelines of the first ever summit between the Russia and African States which is being held in Sochi. The Kremlin leader welcomed Museveni to Sochi adding that the two States (Uganda and Russia) share a common task – to develop trade and economic ties and increase mutual trade. Putin alluded to an earlier decision to create a working group on cooperation in the mineral and raw materials sphere as part of the intergovernmental commission, adopted in October 2017 during a Russian business mission to Kampala. An agreement was reached in April 2018 to establish Uganda’s national system for identifying, evaluating and certifying mineral fields and to further create a comprehensive analytical lab with international accreditation in cooperation with Russia. “I believe that a good task has been set, which will create conditio...

Members of Parliament (MPs) sitting on the Committee of Natural Resources have expressed shock that government has already embarked on a process to amend the National Environment Act, 2018, with a likely aim to implement a total ban focusing on the manufacturing of polythene bags. The National Environment Act, 2018, was passed by Parliament in November of last year and sought to repeal the National Environment Act Cap.153 and replace it with a law that conforms to existing government policies and other relevant laws. It banned single-use carrier bags below 30 microns. The law obliges manufacturers of polythene bags and plastics to recycle plastic waste and also label the polythene bags. Industries engaged in producing plastics are also required to give an annual report on the amount of plastic they have produced, how much has been collected from the public and how much has been recycled. President Yoweri Museveni signed the Act into law in February this year. However, Parliamen...

Students face off with the military Military and regular police have arrested over 20 students of Makerere university who were protesting tuition increment. The university council last year approved a 15 percent cumulative increment for five years. After five years, each student will be required to pay 75 percent more. Led by their Guild Vice President Judith Nalukwago, students on Tuesday morning tried to march to the President’s office to petition President Museveni to scrap the policy. The army and police quickly intercepted them outside the university the gate and dispersed them before arresting the ring leaders. According to Nalukwago, those who increased the tuition have their children studying outside this country. “Some of us are here selling our bodies to get tuition. Mr President, please halt this policy and relieve us from selling our bodies,” she is quoted by media as saying. The students are currently detained at Wandegeya police station pending investigations. Wan...

Uganda’s Security Minister Elly Tumwine vowed to force Bobi wine to Apologise to the old guards. Gen Elly Tumwine in a conversation said that its wrong for the young not to respect their elders. Tumwine was speaking out after Museveni’s Controversial interview with the BBC’s Alan Kasujja, which aired on Friday, in the interview, Museveni accused Bobi Wine of dissuading investors from coming to Uganda. Yoweri Museveni also described Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine as an enemy of Uganda’s prosperity over his comments discouraging foreign investment in Uganda. BUT, WHY CAN’T BOBI APOLOGIZE? “Why does he make our country so poor, he is responsible for all the problems we have today. What do you benefit by exposing our safe houses?” Tumwine asked “What do you benefit from the sanctions that the west is putting on us in the cabinet? Are you so happy now that the cabinet is in disarray and the chief justice is in hiding?” He added Tumwine also confirmed that Bobi must...

Japan will not develop and invest in the creation of fifth-generation mobile networks. This is stated on the official website of the Ministry of High Technologies of the country. Officials expressed the opinion that the creation of a faster Internet than previously is dangerous for the population and may adversely affect people’s health and labor productivity. A study by the University of Nagasaki provides figures confirming the increase in the number of mental disorders and fatigue among high-speed Internet users. According to scientists, the more a person manages to conduct intellectual operations per minute, the more he is prone to the development of stress, absent-mindedness and an increase in nervous excitement. The Ministry of Health supplements colleagues and assures that using 5G networks can reduce the average life expectancy in the country for the first time in 60 years, and the impact of high-speed Internet is comparable to the effects of radiation on the human body....

Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, has called on the international community to keep an eye on Uganda in the face of increasing cases of human rights violations ahead of 2021 elections. “We appreciate all individuals, organisations, governments and international bodies that are responding to the cries of the oppressed people of Uganda. Like all dictators, Museveni would want the people of Uganda to suffer in silence and in darkness. But thanks to social media and other avenues, his violations have gone out into the world and democracy loving people in the entire world are responding,” Bobi Wine’s statement issued early this week reads in part. “I, therefore, continue to call upon the friends of Uganda to keep your eyes on Uganda. We shall not stop knocking on doors of all who love and are willing to support good governance. As the People Power movement, we believe in relationships, which are not only based on mutual economic interests, but on shared values as we...

Former IGP Kale Kayihura recently hosted his old ally Ofwono Opondo at his farm in Kashagama Lyantonde district and while there, the two old friends had a frank discussion on so many things. They mostly reflected on the highs and lows that characterized Kayihura’s colorful reign as the Police Chief last 13 straight years in office. Sources privy to what the two reflected upon say that the brutal activities of NRM Rubaga Chairman Abdullah Kitata and his notorious Boda-Boda 2010 is one of the areas Ofwono Opondo used his old investigative journalistic skills to get Kayihura say something about. Reliable sources say that whereas a paranoid Kayihura was very defensive on most of the things (including claims that he killed Kaweesi and desired to upstage the H.E. YK Museveni), on the Kitata saga he owned up like never before. That he told Opondo the circumstances of the day left him with no option but to rely on informal operators like Kitata whom he thought would act in good faith a...

Some of the the cooperatives whose restoration we discussed include; the West Nile Cooperative Union, the Central West Nile Cooperative Union, the Okoro coffee growers’ cooperative union, the cotton growing Madi cooperative union and South West ...

This is an Old Article By DailyMail UK. Just here doing a Highlight of it. British aid money was used by an African dictator to buy a £30million jet, it emerged last night. Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni bought the top-of-the-range Gulfstream G550 private plane in the same year ministers gave his poverty- ravaged country £70million. During the same period Uganda also received around £57million from the UK through the European Union. The autocratic 67-year-old leader – currently facing criticism for launching a violent crackdown against protesters demanding an Egyptian-style uprising – received the cash under the Labour government in 2008-09. Mr Museveni, who fought an election with posters depicting him as Rambo, bought the new 562mph plane while millions of civilians struggled to feed themselves. The Gulfstream G550 can carry 18 passengers in comfort and has been dubbed the ‘world’s most versatile and stylish ultra-long-range jet’. The revelation highlights the controversy of hard-...

Read Her Powerful Letter in These Links https :// osutayusuf .blogspot .com and https :// ugandan .tk provided here. This morning, on behalf of the Vice President H.E. Edward Ssekandi, i attended the world egg day expo in Namboole. The two day expo which was organized by the poultry association of Uganda is meant to draw special attention to the role eggs play in our lives. It is a privilege as government to identify with the Poultry Association of Uganda as it organizes the different poultry stake holders in the industry to enable an efficient and robust poultry sub sector  to grow. Poultry has the potential of transforming lives of key stakeholders (majority of whom are women small holder farmers) by increasing household incomes. It generates national revenues through export of eggs, poultry meat and day-old chicks to neighboring countries.

The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has released a report on an investigation into the alleged breach of minimum broadcasting standards by 13 broadcasters finding a number of them culpable. The investigation followed UCC’s directive in May 2019 to have Head of News and Head of Programmes of radios including Akaboozi FM, Beat FM, CBS FM Sapiensa FM, Pearl FM and Simba FM suspended in relation to their coverage of the arrest and subsequent remand of Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine, on April 29. The directive also applied to BBS TV, Bukedde TV Kingdom TV, NBS TV, NTV, Salt TV. It took the involvement of National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), to ask the communication regulator, UCC, to rescind its directive pending investigations. According to UCC, the investigation was sparked by complaints from security agencies to the effect that a section of radio and television stations were broadcasting content that was contrary to the minimum broadcasting sta...
