By Bobi Wine
We have been keenly observing the nationwide Industrial Action by public health workers that was started by medical interns on 6th November and later joined by senior doctors on 21st November. The health workers are protesting Government’s failure to honor promises it has been making over the years to provide them with adequate medical supplies; improve their welfare and working conditions; and employ idle doctors in the several unfilled vacancies.
It is unfair that despite attending to more than 70% of the patients who report to National Referral Hospitals and other public health facilities for treatment; and despite working day and night for nearly the entire week, the interns are paid a gross salary of only Shs 750,000/= to cater for their transport, meals, accommodation and general upkeep. The failure to provide medical insurance for health workers, exacerbated by the perennial lack of personal protective equipment and other critical medical supplies has seen over 50 frontline health workers succumbing to COVID19. These exploitative conditions in which our health workers are forced to operate endanger the very lives they are expected to protect, and expose them to professional negligence claims.
In June this year, Government officials met with the leadership of the Medical Interns to chat about a way forward. It made several commitments to them including that it would pay at least Shs 1,500,000/= (for graduate nurses); Shs 2,000,000/= (for graduate pharmacists); and Shs 2,500,000/= (for graduate medical doctors) effective 1st July. It reneged on these promises at the last hour. When the interns laid down their tools in early November, the Government reacted by making more promises to them, which it also went on to break in just a matter of days.
Officials thereafter resorted to staging publicity stunts in upcountry hospitals to create an impression that it is “greedy” health workers in Kampala who are protesting. When that did not achieve the desired effect of manipulating them back to work, Government threatened to fire the health workers. Over the weekend, it made good on the threats by firing all the striking medical interns “to pave way” for a new cohort that will not report to hospitals until February 2022! With insufferable arrogance, the Director General Health Services went on to “advise” the ‘fired’ interns to “find their own way” of completing internship, well-knowing that they will never be licensed to practice without completing the government-operated internship scheme.
The purported sacking of health workers engaged in constitutionally-protected industrial action is manifestly illegal and high handed. Without a doubt, it is an intimidation tactic calculated to silence debate about the unhealthy state of our public health facilities, and the indecent working conditions of the selfless health professionals who run them. It must be resisted.
On behalf of the National Unity Platform, and on my own behalf, I assure health workers across the country that we stand in solidarity with you. We unreservedly support your patriotic quest to improve the state of our national health facilities as well as those who work or seek treatment from there.
I wish to also remind the nation that one of the core pledges we have made as the National Unity Platform is to revamp the health care sector completely. The money General Museveni’s regime spends on corruption and excessive spending can definitely improve social services so that our people live better lives.
For God and My Country

Click here to bet on Scheffler at the PGA Championship with BetMGM Sportsbook! I just don’t understand this price. Kitayama, the 21st ranked player in the world, won a designated event earlier this season at Bay Hill in a similar caliber field as the PGA. That was his fifth top-three finish on the PGA Tour since the start of 2022. He ranks 18th in driving distance and is very similar to Min Woo Lee in that his results are very volatile–he could miss a cut by a mile and then contend the next week. He makes for a great option for a top 20 and could be the deciding under-the-radar pick in your PGA Championship pool. Tyrrell Hatton has accomplished a lot in his career, and he regularly contends at major championships, but he has never won one of them. We’re betting that will change this week.

With so many bookmakers on the market, all offering enticing sign-up promotions to new customers, it can become tricky to choose the very best free bet offers. A reload bonus is offered to existing sportsbook customers and allows them to receive bonus money when reloading their account with a deposit. A reload bonus is similar to a deposit-matching sign-up bonus but usually less lucrative. For example, a sign-up bonus often matches 100% of a deposit up to a certain amount. A reload bonus often matches only 25-50% of your deposit. If you used a reload bonus of 50% on a $100 deposit, you would receive an extra $50 in betting credit. And since the new online bookmakers offers are being updated all the time, you should make sure to check this page from time to time and stay updated with all the best deals you can grab. To give you all the assistance we can give, we are constantly monitoring all the new bookies bonus deals as well as those from betting sites that are on the market for some time, extracting and listing all the offers and rewards you can claim.
