Museveni urges Ugandans to engage more in commercial agriculture

Museveni adrresing guests

 

President Yoweri Museveni has called on Ugandans in the country to intensify commercial agriculture.

The President made the call today at St. George’s Core Primary Teachers’ College in Ibanda District as Uganda marked the 34th NRM/NRA victory day anniversary celebrations. The occasion was marked under the theme: ‘Celebrating NRM/NRA Patriotic Struggle that Ushered in National Unity and Social Transformation’.

The special guest at the celebrations was the former President of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete. The occasion was also attended, among others, by Parliamentary Speaker,  Rebecca Kadaga, Chief Justice, Bart Katureebe and Cabinet Ministers.

During the celebrations, the President awarded medals to a number of personalities. Those who got the Golden Jubilee medal were led by prominent businessman, Patrick Bitature. The Nalubale medalists were led by Joram Asiimwe of Ibanda. The President also presented medals to officers of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), Uganda Police and Uganda Prisons.

Addressing the country on the occasion as the people of Uganda marked NRM’s 34th anniversary, the President said: “We have been having the culture of practicing subsistence farming. This only provides us food. You do not only have food needs. We all need money to have adequate facilities in modern life. All rural homesteads must produce for both food and income.”

He congratulated the people of Ibanda District for embracing commercial farming. According to reports, 60 per cent of the residents in Ibanda District are engaged in commercial agriculture leaving 40 per cent still in peasant production.

President Museveni stressed that the first step in towards the development strategy should revolve around the intensification of commercial agriculture adding that the second step should ensure that the whole country must not depend on agriculture only but also diversify into industries, services and ICT. He was pleased to note that Uganda today has got 4,920 industries that employ 700,000 people adding that companies in the services sector employ 1.3 million while the ICT sector employs 15,000 people.

Mr. Museveni said that these figures are part of Uganda’s transformation. He, therefore, called on the leaders and the population at large to work towards attracting more investors into factories and services. He informed the country that the NRM Government has built roads and is generating sufficient electricity. He assured the nation that Uganda will no longer suffer from electricity shortages.

He, at this juncture, told the people of Uganda that the current challenge is the corrupt civil servants who delay delivery to deserving recipients. He strongly warned them saying “the thieves, either you change or end up in Luzira.”

President Museveni also said that as Uganda is working on the integration of the African market, the country today has got an annual consumption of 800 million litres of milk, with a surplus of 1.7 billion liters. He observed that while the World Health Organization recommends that every person should consume 210 liters of milk per year, people in Uganda under consume milk because of insufficient income.

He said that Iran and Egypt have got a high demand for maize which may serve in Uganda’s interests. He reminded the agricultural stakeholders to ensure high quality of maize and other agro products. He said that soon the people of Ibanda District would be able to access business processing outsourcing  (BPO) that is to enable them to provide services to global employers once the ICT backbone is established in their area.

On education, the President reiterated his stand on enabling wananchi access Universal Primary Education (UPE). He used the occasion to passionately call on all Ugandans that “we must jointly fight against the vice of illegal fees that are being levied.”

Former President of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete, noted that NRM’s celebrations presented an occasion when “we are celebrating the victory that has taken Uganda on a very different path of development.”  He saluted President Museveni for his wise leadership adding: “you led the Dar-es-Salaam University Students’ Front. I am one of the students of the University who came after you that had the passion to contribute to the African revolution.” He thanked him for being a mentor saying that as he continues that for other leaders in Africa and  Ugandans, Uganda is unified and progressing on top of being prominent not only in Africa but also beyond.

Don’t recapitalise Bank of Uganda – LoP cries out

LoP Betty Aol Ocan

The leader of opposition in Parliament and Gulu Woman Member of Parliament, Betty Aol Ocan, has urged fellow legislators not to approve the funds meant for recapitalization of the Bank of Uganda (BoU), arguing that the local banking  industry regulator will continue with financial indiscipline if bailed out in the budget for the financial year 2020/2021.

The LoP’ made the remarks as she  responded to the 2020/2021 National Budget Framework Paper prepared by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MFPED) where BoU has asked for Shs480 billion for recapitalisation come the new financial year.

But Ocan said that since BoU supervises the commercial banks, it needs to lead by example by exercising fiscal discipline as it spends the taxpayers’ money.

She said if BoU is granted its wish, its budget will be more than that of other crucial sectors such as tourism which brought in $1.6 billion, Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development and the ministry of Trade and Industry.

“The bank should consider utilisation of savings on government accounts, a drawdown of general reserve funds and deposit auctions as well as repurchase agreements,” she wrote.

She said Bank of Uganda should explore all other avenues before seeking any recapitalisation.

Meanwhile, the Auditor General’s report released December 2019, has names BoU as the most loss-making government entity, making losses of about Shs855.585 billion.

Further, a probe carried out by parliament’s committee on Commissions, State Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) from later 2018 to early 2019, faults BoU of failing to account for a big portion of Shs478 billion it claimed it injected in Crane Bank in Receivership, with some sources saying the money could have been swindled by senior officials as they failed to present all documents related to the expenditure of the money.

IGP Ochola blames banks for high interest rates, says police SACCO important

The Inspector General of Police Martin Okoth Ochola addressed members of Police Savings Association Limited (PSAL) during their annual general meetings, and stated that commercial interest rates among other issues forced them to form their SACCO.

Read his full speech below:

As Uganda Police leadership, we are delighted to be part of this Annual General  Meeting which reflects in a practical way how police officers can organise themselves in a proper manner to financially benefit from one another and help to make a difference in their  general welfare.

The “Police Savings Association Ltd – (PSAL)” was started on the 28th day of April 1989 with a mission of promoting the welfare of members for prosperity and development through savings, investment support and efficient utilization of resources to alleviate poverty.  This is purely a voluntary saving association where officers contribute a specific amount of money each month. The officers are also afforded a turn to borrow at a very low interest rate and satisfy their individual needs.

It was started with a background and description that the resource envelope from the government cannot be adequate to address all our officers’ needs especially if not properly directed. The other reason was that the Commercial banks’ policies with their bureaucratic and high interest rates are hostile to accommodate our daily financial requirements and were exposing majority of our officers to extreme poverty, hardships and enormous financial difficulties.

The main purpose of forming the saving scheme was therefore, to collect, invest, protect, lend, and support police officers. It was designed to respond to the dynamics of Police officers’ professional and personal challenges, and the enormous demands of their lives and times.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in any society, not everyone will do equally well without challenges. Just like the Exodus Sacco, PSAL also faces some difficulties and hardships but the most practical way it adopted to overcome such challenges was;-

To stick to fundamental core values of integrity, transparency and accountability.

The broad-based voluntary support it enjoys among its members.

The magnificent work that is being done by the Board that has sought to dedicate time, patience and effort in setting the scheme to the right direction in terms of investments.

As a result, the scheme has grown exponentially, worth a massive membership although there is still a lot to be done.

In view of Force’s commitment to encouraging savings, we support the many positive contributions and initiatives undertaken by PSAL and other saving schemes which are aimed at helping the Police officers and their families in raising their living standards.

We have always believed that those who want to improve themselves should first help others to do so. I hope that PSAL will continue to uphold this spirit, and at the same time reach out to all other police officers, so that it can strengthen their financial stability.

Going forward, it is my view that all our saving schemes should come up with more innovative and responsive solutions, and reach out more effectively to our officers especially those at the lower ranks that grapple with challenges of :-

Accommodation

Financial hardships especially during times of paying school fees for their children.

As Police leadership, we will continue to support the initiatives and programs of these saving schemes, and work with them to ensure that no one in need of saving will be left behind without support.  The leadership has also launched serious means to tackle the few problems experienced by our saving schemes and help them succeed.

Meantime, I implore you to sensitize and attract other individual police officers to join these saving schemes to help themselves, and to provide for their future needs.

Conclusion

Finally, I would like to thank PSAL Board of Directors for your open-handed support and dedication in advancing the cause of our officers.  You are not only the backbone of savings in the force, but also its heart and soul.

With your effective programs you will surely make a strong contribution where it counts. Let us maintain this strong spirit of solidarity and mutual help, and work together to create a caring, prosperous and cohesive Uganda Police Force.

I wish all of you continuing success in addressing the welfare of our personnel through savings and lending.

I thank you.

J.M.Okoth- Ochola, (Esq.)

Court evicts Mbale priest Michael Mukono from old woman’s property

Mbale High Court has evicted Pastor Michael Mukhono also known as Musayi (priest)from plot 9, Pallisa Road in Mbale Municipality after the rightful owner, an old woman, Alice Kimono Kimaswa,86, successfully challenged the pastor who is synonymous with land grabbing in Mbale Municipality.

The eviction order, also stopping the notorious pastor from collecting the rent from tenants of the said building was made by Her Worship Lillian C.N Mwandha on January 23, 2020 in the absence of Pastor Mukhono who is wanted by the same court on various cases related to land grabbing as well as others.

Mukhono, who some sources say financially comprises some of the security officials in the district, is into hiding and security in the whole Bugisu sub region has failed to trace his whereabouts as plaintiffs he grabbed their land from continue to suffer in court.

According to available records, Pastor Mukhono’s church was supposed to help the old woman Alice Kimono Kimaswa build a commercial building after which they would discuss how to compensate the church but upon finishing three floors, Mukhono turned against Ms Kimaswa and claimed ownership of the property located in Mbale’s city centre.

However, Ms Kimaswa says she also contributed money as a church member to kick start the project, only for the pastor to turn against her and look for ways of chasing her from her property. Mukhono had by force brought his family to stay on the old woman’s property despite protests from her family.

He would later in 2010 sue Ms Kimaswa claiming she was disorganising the construction process. Court did not agree with him and instead gave give a go ahead to finish the building, give Shs650,000 per month to the old Kimaswa but he never fulfilled any of the directives, claiming he has his own “heavenly powers)and that he does not respect court processes.

The eviction order also bars Mukhono from collecting rent from the old Alice Kimono Kimaswa’s property which has three levels. He has been collecting rent since 2006, without accounting for the funds.

Widow Kimaswa’s lawyer, Samuel Wekoye has written to tenants stopping them from paying monthly rent to Mukhono and now instead it will be paid to Ms Kimaswa, the true owner of the property as per available documents, including a land title and lease.

When asked Ms Kimaswa lauded her lawyer Wekoye and the court for “doing the right thing” at last as she has been in court since 2010 when Mukhono sued her. Ms Kimaswa has spent over Shs100 million and in legal fees and other costs and would want that money recovered when the main case (Civil Suit No.40 of 2019) is concluded as said by Her Worship Lillian C.N Mwandha.

Ms Kimaswa had tried several approached to have Mukhono evicted from her property. She had tried politicians and police but all these never gave any help. She also registered her case with Justice Catherine Bamugemereire’s land commission but the widow was never helped for unknown reasons.

Records also show that Mukhono has not been compliant in paying tax to URA much as he claimed to be the landlord of the said property. Sources say he has been conniving with some of officers URA Mbale Branch.

Ms Kimaswa says she will consult her lawyers to see how she can pay the URA taxes, even though officials in URA Mbale Branch have some questions to answer as regards documentation.

Meanwhile Mukhono’s first lawyer, Magellan Olubwe of Olubwe & Co. Advocates deserted him after realising he could not win the case. Mukhono had to rely on the services of a second lawyer, Ronald Wetete who also could not stop court from issuing the order as he had no valid arguments.

On November 26, 2012; Justice V.T Zuhurikize while still at Mbale High Court issued a consent decree between the two sides, but it did not favour widow Alice Kimaswa as it favoured Pastor Mukhono, who started operating on the former’s plot from 2006 and has been collecting the rent he has never accounted for.

One of the directives was that Mukhono pays the old woman Shs650,000 per month as he completed the building. He never completed the building and stopped paying the old lady the money. Instead he used the money collected as rent from her property to set up other businesses in town, including a commercial building in Doko a few kilometres from Mbale’s city centre.

Her Worship Lillian C.N Mwandha established that order was wanting, as it lacked signatures key court officials and therefore dismissed it.

The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs recently released a list of lawyers who are not supposed to represent anyone in court yet Olubwe does so under the watchful eye of Mbale High Court officials.

Residents of Namabasa also want the self-styled priest to be evicted from their area because he is a big problem to them. But they say the RDC Barasa Ogajo has always defended the man who also keeps a group of criminals who beat those opposed to him.

Mukhono not long ago organised his men who seriously beat and injured UMEME workers who had gone to disconnect his buildings due to nonpayment of electricity bills. That case is recorded at Mbale Central Police Station. Days ago his men also beat up residents over land, one is nursing serious injuries at Cure Hospital in Mbale.

Mukhono is also on record for attempting to grab about 70 acres of land from a family in Doko, neighbouring on Mbale-Tirinyi road the Sino-Uganda Industrial park in Mbale being developed by Tian Tang Group.

Regional regulatory framework needed to address gaps and weaknesses in electricity sector – COMESA/RAERESA

The COMESA Regional Association of Energy Regulators for Eastern and Southern Africa (RAERESA) is developing a framework which will act as the regulatory oversight for the electricity sector in the region. The association believes the framework will help control the area and enhance the efficiency of regional power trading on the continent.

As a way of moving this process, COMESA/RAERESA has conducted a regional consultative workshop for the study to develop a framework for regulatory oversights for the regional electricity market in Eastern and Southern Africa and the Indian ocean region under the EU funded Enhancement of Sustainable Regional Energy Markets (ESREM) Project.

Energy Economist at COMESA Secretariat Mr. Chileshe Malama, who represented the organization at the workshop, said formulation of the framework was important as it will help regulate the regional energy markets.

He noted that energy plays a critical role in developing the region and significant investments have taken place in the sector, resulting in many ongoing projects in power generation and transmission.

“A regional framework is required to facilitate regional power trading as it would provide requirements and guidelines for handling the various issues that would arise at regional level,” Mr Malama added.

The workshop was officially opened by Senior Energy officer in the Ministry of Energy of Tanzania, Mr. Emillian Nyanda who indicated that the outcome of the workshop would help the COMESA-EAC-SADC region to develop and grow its energy production and market.

EU Tanzania delegation Head of Natural Resources Ms Jenny CORREIA NUNES indicated that the goal of the seven million Euro ESREM project is to promote a regional energy market, with the dual objectives of attracting investment and encourage sustainable development.

Participants to the workshop held 22 – 23rd January 2020 in Dar es Salaam were drawn from Members of the regional power pools, regulatory agencies, Regional centers of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Representatives from Ministries of Energy from Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya and Lesotho also attend the consultative workshop. Others were from Malawi, Madagascar, Mauritius, Namibia Rwanda, Seychelles, Sudan, South Sudan, the Host Tanzania, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Weekly business around Africa: Interesting events emerged

Isabel dos Santos in trouble over alleged swindling of country's resources

 

 

It was a long week on the international conference circuit for leaders flying from the continent to summits in London and Davos.

The week of events as captured by the African Business opened with the inaugural UK-Africa Investment Summit in London, where Boris Johnson pitched the UK as ‘the partner of choice for Africa’.
With African countries currently accounting for just 5 percent of UK global trade, London has a long way to go in convincing Africa of its virtues above suitors like the US, Russia and China.
As Brexit closes in, the UK is hammering out trade deals with African counterparts to replicate the terms enjoyed under the EU framework. The summit represented just a beginning in the new relationship, with a modest $8.5bn of new deals announced.

Meanwhile, South Africa’s finance minister Tito Mboweni, and presidents of DRC, Ghana and Senegal descended on the snowy Swiss Alps for the World Economic Forum’s annual jamboree. One notable absentee was Cyril Ramaphosa, who missed the awkward moment that the Edelman Trust Barometer named his the least trusted government in the world.

Africa’s richest fugitive:  Things went from bad to worst for Isabel dos Santos this week as a trove of 715,000 leaked documents alleged that she milked the state to build her $2.1 billion fortune. By Wednesday, she had been charged with fraud, embezzlement and money laundering in Angola.

Fighting for survival:   South African Airways suspended flights from Johannesburg to Munich and Cape Town on Tuesday after a critical state bailout was delayed. As it continues to fight liquidation after entering bankruptcy protection last month, the struggling airline said on Friday that it had saved enough cash to pay January wages.

Shrinking stakes:  South African media conglomerate Naspers sold $1.66bn of its shares in tech spin-off Prosus, which holds a 30 percent stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Tencent. The firm sold 22m Prosus shares at €67.5 ($74.5) per share to institutional investors, reducing its Prosus holding to 72.5 percent.

Into the big league:  Flutterwave, the US-based payments technology company that processes transactions for Uber and Booking.com., has raised $35m in a funding round. The new funding will be used to support its expansion across Francophone and North Africa and drive efforts to boost market share in existing markets.

Crowdfunding SDGs:   A $500m investment platform has been launched to help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. SDG500, supported by the UN and NGOs, will offer an exposure to six underlying funds and will use debt and equity to invest in the agriculture, finance, energy, education and healthcare sectors in Africa and beyond.

Investing for impact:  CDC Group, the UK’s publicly owned impact investor, will invest a further £2 billion ($2.6 billion) into African businesses over the next two years, as it looks to double the size of its portfolio on the continent. The firm unveiled partnerships totalling nearly $400m at the UK-Africa Investment Summit on Monday. Funds will be used to provide African banks with greater liquidity to support SMEs, entrepreneurs and microbusinesses

BBC launches My World, a ground-breaking global show for young audiences

Angelina Jolie is Executive Producer

 

 

BBC My World is a ground-breaking global show for young audiences, explaining the stories behind the news, and providing facts and information for them to make up their own minds about international issues.

It draws on the independent, global reporting of the BBC World Service.  It is a co-production with Angelina Jolie and Microsoft Education, with the BBC retaining editorial control over all content.

Targeting a young audience aged 13+, the programme aims to fill a global gap in reliable and trusted information for young audiences in this age group, who are legally allowed on many social media platforms but poorly served by adult news content, and susceptible to the dangers of poor quality ‘fake news’ and disinformation. They are an age group keen to understand more about how trusted news is made and the values that stand behind it.

My World is a weekly half hour TV programme in English.  BBC World News, the BBC’s most-watched channel which reaches more than 100m people across the world every week, will run the show each Sunday at 16.30 GMT, and content will be shared across the World Service’s 42 language services.  There will also be multi-lingual distribution in more than 20 countries, including Canada, China, India, South Korea, Bosnia and the United States. A digital version of the programme will be available on the BBC iPlayer in the UK, and globally on the BBC My World YouTube channel.

The programme is presented by Radzi Chinyanganya and Nomia Iqbal.

Jamie Angus, Director of the BBC World Service Group said: “There’s a gap in provision for young people who want to understand how the news is made and the values that stand behind it. They need the tools to distinguish the real from the false online, and the skills to think critically about information, wherever they encounter it. Nurturing these abilities is the aim of My World, and they’re crucial for today’s young people, not just for personal development but the future health of global democracy. The BBC World Service is uniquely placed to provide a truly global perspective on the biggest stories and themes of the day.”

Angelina Jolie said: “As a parent I am happy to be able to give my support to a program that aims to help children learn more about the lives of other young people around the world, and connect them to each other. I hope it will help children find the information and tools they need to make a difference on the issues that matter to them, drawing on the BBC World Service’s network of thousands of journalists and multiple language services around the world.”

There is a bespoke learning segment to accompany each show, as well as additional lesson plans created by BBC Learning, all of which will be available through Microsoft Education for a global audience of educators. The content will help the teaching of media literacy in schools in every region of the world.

My World will provide much needed impartial access to information of the highest editorial standard, helping young people to understand the world around them. Last year, the BBC convened a Trusted News Summit bringing together senior figures from major global technology firms and publishing, to initiate a new industry collaboration to tackle dangerous misinformation. At the summit media education was highlighted as a key priority.

My World also builds on the media literacy work that the BBC does in the UK and abroad, both through BBC Young Reporter and the BBC World Service’s Beyond Fake News initiative, which took media literacy workshops to schools in India, Nigeria and Kenya in 2018 and continues to shine a spotlight on disinformation.
