The Member of Parliament for Aringa South Constituency, Hon Alioni Yorke Odria has bought 40 Tents, with each accommodating 100 seats, to be used during sad or happy moments in the communities of Aringa South in Yumbe District.

With the community and individuals having gone through a dilemma when looking for Tents to be hired expensively at the tune of 100,000 Shs and above for functions and funerals, this initiative by Hon Odria is expected to save the community members from getting drained in the lookout for Tents for hire.

20-6-2025.  Copied. Let’s be brutally honest. If there’s one thing that can destroy your business faster than inflation, bad hires, or a market crash — it’s workplace romance. And as a man building something that matters, you need to hear this: Your company is not a dating site. It’s not Tinder. It’s not Netflix & Chill Inc. It’s a battlefield for profits, power, and legacy. The moment you allow love affairs to creep into your business, you’re no longer the boss. You’re a clown running a circus. YOUR HOUSE. YOUR RULES. NO MJolo. NO MJolo. NO MJolo. If it’s your business — it’s your house. And your house follows your rules. Lay it down clearly: No dating coworkers. No flirting behind the storeroom. No secret office hookups. No mixing personal emotions with professional decisions. Why? Because nothing derails focus, loyalty, and discipline faster than lust disguised as “love.” WORKPLACE ROMANCE WILL KILL YOUR PRODUCTIVITY You’re out here trying to scale, close deals, ...

Written by Edema John Bosco. DECLARATION OF INTEREST Date: 12th June 2025 Location: NRM Secretariat, Kampala Today, I officially expressed my interest at the NRM Secretariat in Kampala to contest as the NRM flag bearer for Maracha East Constituency. This marks a significant milestone in my journey to formally offer myself in service to the people of Maracha East. There is an urgent need for transformational leadership, especially from younger leaders who are in touch with the real challenges faced by our people in today's dynamic world. The way the world approaches issues has changed drastically due to emerging technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). If we do not address these shifts early, our region risks being left behind. In 30 years, we could become the new version of what Karamoja was once labelled—not in terms of clothing or tradition, but in terms of poverty, technological exclusion, and lack of education. Whether it is me or another leader, there must be...

Over the past two days, the crowds we engaged were not part of pre-arranged rallies, with the exception of our brief visit to Oniba Catholic Church,specifically inside the church.

8-June-2025. ❗️Foreign journalists arrived in the Russian Bryansk region and inspected refrigerated trucks with the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. Avoiding Recovery of Soldiers' Bodies by Kiev is 'Not Very Rational Decision' The decision does not serve the country's strategic and geopolitical interests, Raphael Machado, a political analyst, told media, commenting on Ukraine's absence from the initially planned exchange site with Russia. "This is what we are seeing more and more frequently in Kiev's decisions. [...] At least for us analysts, this seems to be clearly contrary to Ukraine's possible interests," Machado explained. 👉 Moreover, Kiev disregards the anguish of the dead soldiers' families, who are "waiting for news" or "the chance to bury them."
