Uproar as government allows Ben Kavuya to fly in family from the US

By
Our Reporter
-
Mr. Kavuya

Ugandans today took to social media to vent anger after the government allowed tycoon Ben Kavuya to fly in his family from the United States even as thousands of citizens remain stranded in far-flung countries.

Ugandans were particularly mad because the United States is the most affected country in the world by the Coronavirus pandemic, having registered 302,493 deaths and 1,417,889 cases by this afternoon, according to a CNN tally.

In a 13th May letter to the Ethiopian Airlines Manager, Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kuteesa indicated that Mr Kavuya was allowed to fly in his wife Barbara Kavuya, his son Blanche Kibaju and his grandson Isaiah Tiba Byabashaija from the United States.

 

Sam Kuteesa’s authorisation letter was closely followed by a letter from Dr Henry Mwebesa, the Director General Health Services, controversially approving Legacy Courts Plot Four Younger in Bugolobi as a quarantine site for Ben Kavuya’s family.

“The passengers must adhere to Port Health Regulations. They will undergo Mandatory Institutional Quarantine for 14 days at Legacy Apartmemts.During quarantine, test samples will be taken from them before discharge,”Dr Mwebesa wrote.

Following the decision, Ugandans used social media to accuse the government of double standards, questioning why Ben Kavuya was allowed to fly in his family yet thousands of distressed citizens remain stuck abroad.

“Isn’t Entebbe Airport closed to passenger flights? How do Ugandans get the exemption to fly home? The cries of Ugandans banished abroad are deafening!”Dr Kizza Besigye tweeted in response to the news of Ben Kavuya flying in his family.

Ugandans on social media also questioned why the government has not listened to the pleas of singer Eddy Kenzo who has been stuck in Ivory Coast since the Corona virus outbreak.

Covid-19 crisis:Here is a win-win solution for distressed savers and NSSF

By
Guest Writer
-
NSSF Workers House in Kampala

Financially distressed savers with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) have been demanding that the Fund pays them at least 20% of their savings to help them mitigate the negative effects if the Covid-19 pandemic.

Distressed savers have also argued that the Fund can guarantee their savings for them to access loans in commercial banks.

It is clear that NSSF is cognisant of the predicament that it’s savers are in.

NSSF would be very willing to help it’s savers with interventions aimed at alleviating the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

However,NSSF is tied by the law.

Section 19 of the NSSF Act says benefits shall be withdrawn under the following descriptions:-
a)age benefit
b) withdrawal benefit
c) invalidity benefit
d) emigration grant
e) survivor’s benefit.

Therefore,it is clear from the above section of the NSSF Act that the Fund has no provision of giving 20% payments to distressed savers.

There is also no provision of the Fund issuing guarantees for savers to borrow from commercial banks.

Distressed savers can, however,lobby their MPs to persuade government, through the Finance Ministry,to amend the NSSF Act and allow such provisions.

Under section 25(h), the Minister has powers to make regulations providing for conversion of benefits into installments,anuiities or other forms of periodic payments.

That is another provision that savers can lobby Parliament to compel the Finance Ministry to look at in order to be helped during this pandemic.

NSSF is also wary of the negative effects such liquidity would cause to an already fragile economy.

Mitigation measures can be devised through Bank of Uganda and the Ministry of Finance.

It has also been unfortunate that some savers have used social media platforms to blackmail the NSSF leadership.

This is imprudent because it does not help the cause of the distressed savers.

What NSSF requires now is cooperation from all the stakeholders involved;the savers, Worker’s unions, Parliament and government.

With that cooperation,it is clear that a Win-Win way foward can be realised.

The rise and crush of Hon Kadaga Part 1

By
Guest Writer
-
President Museveni speaking to MPs in parliament at a past event while behind is Speaker Kadaga in her chair.

 

 

By George Muhimbise 

In the land of bonanzas, the Pearl of Africa where wonders never cease, a poor powerless woman crosses the red line by attempting to confront the Sabalwanyi of Uganda, Gen Yoweri Museveni. The poor woman who knows no boundaries until she is embarrassed is non other than Hon Rabecca Kadaga.

When the Sabalwanyi made his point clear, Kadaga took it for granted & went ahead to declare a war between legislature and executive. Little did she know that she was playing with fire, to be honest the war is between Kadaga and Museveni and not the two arms of government!

Kadaga is a product of Museveni who appears to be turning against her maker. Having always contested as a woman MP since 1989 courtesy of affirmative action, Kadaga can not claim to be powerful or even to be emancipated! But also having been appointed by Museveni as a minister and  becoming a Deputy Speaker and later Speaker courtesy of NRM caucus that sits in state house, Kadaga remains nothing but a mask without Museveni.

Her collapse began when Kadaga was rumoured to be one of the possible successors to the throne. This was due to her stand on homosexuality law, rebel MPs expulsion, former MP Nebanda’s death  and oil saga. She positioned herself as a defender of Parliament and  people’s interests. Also being a woman and being from Eastern region was an advantage in a country where politics is polarised along tribal lines.

Kadaga used her office to entrench herself and build a powerbase. With the other offices like Vice President, Chief Justice or Prime Minister being appointive, Speaker becomes the second powerful office in the country. Because Kadaga has a network of elected MPs across the country whom she directly supervises and former legislators whom she worked with, Kadaga is the second most connected politician in government.

Kadaga used this office to allow MPs allocate themselves all privileges like personal vehicles, unnecessary travels, salary increments, burrial allowances among others.
She used this to compromise MPs anticipating future prospects of supporting her Presidential bid.

Kadaaga became an international star when she chaired the Inter Parliamentary Union, started delivering investors to the President. I proved Kadaga’s appetite for cheap popularity when she declared non existent medicine for Coronavirus! Without even bothering about the Ministry of Health, World Health Organisation etc Kadaga could not wait but to declare how her friend had discovered the said medicine.

Locally she turned herself into a King maker of Busoga politics marking it as her territory, she took part in the Busoga Kingdom affairs, turned herself into the hope of civil society by receiving their several petitions. She started launching projects like Busoga livestock project  and many other projects countrywide! She once launched a Shs40 billion sate light project, i wondered how Museveni who even launches a water tap could allow Kadaga to launch such a big problem! I simply knew Kadaga was soon approaching her fall.

Her master was reading her steps, being a strategic military man who doesn’t take risks, Museveni had to find means of taming Kadaga. The first step is when Hon Oulanyah contested with her and Museveni had to intervene. Kadaga should have known that she had no power without Museveni.

Now comes 2020 & Kadaga attempts to grab money, Shs20m million each for her MPs. First of all, Parliament would have passed a resolution to have its MPs do something in the fight against #Covid 19, then they would beg for resources from Minister of Finance or make a virement or re-allocation within Parliamentary budget, but they opted to grab a budget presented by cabinet to suit their interests.

Kadaga thought that as Museveni wins the war among the populace then herself should retain her MPs and that explains why Kadaga kept advising MPs to use the money regardless of Court order or Attorney General’s advice.

So it was a show of power among Kadaga & Museveni whom would MPs follow? Gen Museveni had to embarrass Hon Kadaga as a powerless woman in the face of her own army (MPs) and later call the same MPs to promise them more money and formation of constituency task forces.

President has directed auditor general to investigate MPs who bought food items instead of giving it to #Covid 19 task force. Some MPs may be forced to refund, those who don’t have money may run to the President for rescue. Kadaga will remain an abandoned haunted woman! She was slapped in the face, beaten with her own stick and crushed in her own movie.

In the next campaign, Hon Oulanyah will be blaming Kadaga for misleading MPs and causing unnecessary fights with executive. I see Hon Kadaga losing the Speakership unless she rediscovers her boundaries & act within those limits.

Busoga Kingdom minister Namutamba spends night in custody, police searches her residence

By

-
Ms Namutamba in he middle addressing the press.

 

 

The Minister for Tourism and Antiquities in Busoga Kingdom, Hellen Namutamba is in hot soup. Efforts by the Kingdom Premier and Executive Director of the National Planning Authority, Dr Joseph Muvawala to rescue her from police custody on bond hit a snug last evening. Namutamba spent the night in cells at Kira Road Police station.

Namutamba was implicated in the cyber attack against Bukedea Woman MP, Anitah Amongi, where prime suspect Brian Kinene who calls himself Brain Bobly Swag on Facebook mentioned her as the source for the hateful propaganda he posted on his Facebook account.

In the post, Kinene referred to Amongi as a mafia who was mobilising MPs and money to drag Speaker Kadaga to court over the #COVID19  Shs10 billion cash.

Namutamba was on Wednesday May 13, 2020 morning summoned to report to the Kira media crimes department from where she was finally held after being quizzed by the detectives from the CID headquarters Kibuli the whole day.

Satisfied by their investigations that there were grounds for criminality, detectives found it necessary that a search be conducted at the Namutamba’s home in Kira Municipality Wakiso District and she led the investigating officers to her home at around 4:30 pm.

We could not readily establish whether they found any evidence at her residence but at least we are aware she was hereafter whisked to Kira Road police station where she is detained. Earlier this week, Chimpreports reported that Namutamba was hiding at the residence of the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga as police wanted to arrest her. She is reported to be a tight friend to the Speaker.

MPs line up Agriculture Minister Vincent Ssempijja for censure over cows

Agriculture Minister Vincent Ssempijja

 

 

Members of Parliament this afternoon are expected to move a censure motion on the floor of the house against Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries Minister Vincent Ssempijja over abuse of office.

A notice of motion was on May 6, served to the clerk to Parliament under Rule 108 (1) of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament.

“Pursuant to Rule 108 (1) of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament, 2017, take note that I, Atiku Bernard, Member of Parliament Ayivu County, Arua District intend to move a motion of censure against Hon. Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries on the grounds of abuse of office and misconduct as prescribed in articles 118 (1) (a) and (b) of the constitution” reads Mr. Atiku’s letter to the Clerk.

 

Particulars for the motion

Ssempijja who rose to prominence while in Masaka where he served as LCV is being accused of neglecting PPDA rules when he used his powers as the line minister and took bulls from Lusenke Stock Farm in Kayunga for person gain.

“Hon. Vincent Bamulangaki Ssemijja while holdig the portfolio of Minister for Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries-

  • Abused his office when he ordered for the withdrawal of several heads of cattle from Lusenke Stock Farm, a government owned ranch managed by National Animal Genetic Resource Centre and Date Bank (NAGRC&DB) located in Kayunga District contrary to the provisions of the Animal Breeding Act,2001 and the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Asserts Act, 2003.
  • Misbehaved and misconducted him when he, without lawful excuse, refused, neglected or failed to attend the house on March 12, 2o2o, as directed by the Hon. Speaker.”

Eagle Online has reliable learnt that Mr. Ssempijja is also accused of being behind those pushing for the exit of NAGRC Executive Director Dr. Charles Lagu. Sources further reveal that Minister Ssempijja had knowingly or unknowingly mounted pressure on Dr. Lagu to procure semen valued at Shs12 billion without board approval. However Dr. Lagu rejected the deal given that the life span of the imported semen was due for expiry in one year and secondly the procurement hadn’t been budget for and sanctioned by the board.  Ssempijja is also accused of sidelining the NAGRC board and Executive Director on land related to the government stock farms and ranches that had been sold to the rich individual without necessarily going through right procedures.

Sources further reveal that when Dr. Lagu objected to the above, his woes with his superior worsened and this is where corruption allegations were brought against him.

Museveni insists on probing Kadaga, MPs over Shs10b cash bonus

By
Our Reporter
-
President Museveni

President Museveni has stuck to his guns and insisted that MPs have to be investigated over the irregular allocation of Shs10 billion to themselves under the guise of fighting the #Covid-19 pandemic.

In an April 28, letter to the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga,Mr Museveni insisted it was “morally reprehensible for MPs to try and benefit from a national crisis by misusing the powers they have to allocate themselves that money”.

President Museveni wrote that in smuggling the Shs10 billion in the Supplementary budget, Parliament had “unilaterally reshuffled the powers of the Executive.”

The letter is copied to the Prime Minister, Vice-president,Chief of Defense Forces,Inspector General of Police, Attorney General and Auditor General.

“Are MPs purchasing officers of the State of Uganda?. There Accounting Officers of the State are well-known. MPs are not among them,”President Museveni wrote in the letter.

The audit is expected to take 4 weeks and a report submitted to President Museveni.

MPs who have returned the Shs20 million will not be probed.

Embattled Jinja RDC Erick Sakwa drags Attorney General, PS Kakande to court

Trevor S Baleke

RDC Eric Sakwa holding a diary being escorted to police.

Erick Sakwa the embattled Jinja RDC has this Wednesday May 13, 2020 dragged to Court the Attorney General William Byaruhanga and the Secretary to the Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande to the High Court in Jinja.

Sakwa is praying for cancellation of his interdiction from office. The interdiction letter dated May 4, 2020 was written by Kakande whose powers Sakwa is now challenging.

According to the draft court papers seen by Eagle Online, Sakwa is filing a judicial review application in which he challenges the manner in which he was interdicted and the procedure Kakande purported to follow.

Judicial Review is the remedy under which a person dissatisfied with an administrative decision proceeds to challenge the same before the a Court of competent jurisdiction. This is provided for under Article 42 of the Constitution and the Judicature Act.

In Judicial Review applications, the aggrieved citizen challenges not the decision but the procedure and manner in which the same was arrived at.

In the affidavit, Sakwa says he is a political appointee and not a civil servant to whom the public service standing orders, which Kakande quotes in his interdiction letter apply.


He further asserts that he is specifically governed by terms of service disclosed in his instrument of appointment under the provisions of the Local Government Act.

That even the manner in which Kakande’s interdiction letter was delivered to him was anomalous and strange. He recalls that on Friday 8th May, a stranger served the interdiction letter unto him just outside his offices at Busoga square.

He says the manner in which he was interdicted contradicts the rules of natural justice because he was never heard prior to it.

According to his application, Sakwa contends that Kakande, as Secretary in the Office of the President, can only interdict him on the directive of the President who appointed and made him RDC Jinja.

The May 4 interdiction letter does not disclose anywhere that it was authored on orders of President Museveni or in consultation. Sakwa bases on this to term it as a nullity which he wants court to quash and have him fully reinstated.
