FULL LIST: FIND OUT WHICH MP BETRAYED POOR UGANDANS AS PARLIAMENT PASSED MOBILE MONEY TAX.  2nd-Oct-2018. Parliament has amended Excise Duty Act, 2014 to limit the taxable mobile money transactions to withdrawal and to reduce the duty payable from 1% to 0.5%. The highlight is Mwine Mpaka, a member of the NRM party and son to Minister Bright Rwamirama who voted against his party position to the surprise of fellow parliamentarians. Other MPs also belonging to the NRM voted against their party as seen on the list below. Before the list, it should be noted that the tax was first met with stiff resistance from the public who describe it as exploitative. Some observers say that by introducing the mobile money tax, Government seems to be stabbing itself in the back by taxing everything, including lifelines of its people especially the poor.

Captain Richard Clement, the acting Inspector of Police in Nimule, told radio Tamazuj on Wednesday that the suspect admitted that it is not the first time he killed and sold dog meat in the town. “On the 29th (last month), someone saw a person butchering a dog and that he has been doing that several times.

He admitted that he has done this work for a long time without people’s knowledge.” Captain Clement said. The Eastern Equatoria State CID Director, Colonel Gabriel Guet Koang, confirmed the incident, saying there must be a solution to ensure al

The month of October is the month in which the Constitution of Uganda was promulgated and adopted. With the recent uproar on proposed changes to the Constitution, wouldn’t it be good if we got to know what the Constitution actually says? With this idea in mind, starting today, we will be putting up one post a day on particular Articles of the Constitution with the aim of going through the entire Constitution by the end of October. Lets all get to know more about the main/ parent law of Uganda. HOW THE CONSTITUTION CAME INTO BEING ?. Between 1971 when President Idi Amin took over power and 1995 there was no substantive Constitution in force in Uganda.

The Making of this Constitution can be traced back to 1988 when the NRC (National Resistance Council) (which then acted as a legislature for the country) passed a Constitutional Commission Statute.
