Land probe seeks for extra Shs3b as its term comes to an end

By

Justice Catherine Bamugemereire.

The Commission of Inquiry into Land Matters has run short of money and is requesting for an extra supplementary funding to the tune of Shs3 billion, according to the State Minister for Finance David Bahati who informed members of parliament on Wednesday.

However, the request of the Shs3 billion did not go well with the MPs who wanted the latest report of the Commission before they can approve the money. The Commission is led by Justice Catherine Bamugemereire as Chairperson.

But Bahati urged the MPs to approve the money, saying the Commission has so far saved government about Shs3 trillion in dubious land deals that were ochestrated by some government officials.

The Commission last received Shs10 billion as supplementary, having exhausted its budget for the financial year 2018/2019.

The Commission is holding the inquiry into effectiveness of law, policies and processes of land acquisition, land administration, land management and land registration in Uganda.

President Yoweri Museveni launched the Commission in February 2017, giving them a six-month mandate to do the work and thereafter submit final findings and recommendations.

Museveni has extended the term of the Commission of Inquiry into land matters by at least 18 months following the expiry of its term on May 9, 2018. That was the third time Museveni was extending the term of the Commission. The initial six-month tenure started in May 2017 and expired on November 9, 2017. The president then granted them another extension for six months.

The Commission last year faced challenges of accountability of Shs13 billion.

Commission’s Terms of Reference:-

·Investigate and inquire into the law, processes and procedures by which land is administered and registered in Uganda.

·Investigate and inquire into the role and effectiveness of the Uganda Land Commission (ULC in administering public land and the Land Fund.

·Investigate, inquire into and review the effectiveness of the relevant bodies in the preservation of wetlands, forests and game reserves and examine ways in which the challenge of human habitation in those areas can be resolved.

.To investigate, inquire and solicit views on the role of traditional, cultural and religious institutions who own large tracts of land with occupants in a bid to enhance better landlord/tenant relationships.

·To assess the legal and policy framework on Government land acquisition.

.To identify, investigate and inquire into the effectiveness of the dispute resolution mechanisms available to persons involved in land disputes.

·To inquire into any other matter connected with or incidental to the matters aforesaid and make recommendations.

·The Commission shall make recommendations:-

·For improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the law, policies and processes of land acquisition, land administration, land management and land registration in Uganda and proposing necessary reforms.

·Pertaining to civil, administrative and criminal sanctions against persons found culpable for wrong doing.

Invest in assets that generate income- Gen. Muhoozi

Wazalendo

The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. David Muhoozi has encouraged members Wazalendo Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited (WSACCO) to invest in assets that generate income as opposed to buying luxurious items that provide short time benefits.

Speaking at Uganda Military Engineering College (UMEC) in Lugazi, Gen. Muhoozi said there was a need to come up with smart innovations to build strong consensus with members, understand the critical importance of the SACCO and design simple and clear messages to all members for WSACCO to do better.

He called for investing in businesses that will in turn generate profits than in luxurious life. “WSACCO is like a teenager that has performed exceptionally well before becoming an adult,” he said.

“We have done well and we should maintain and improve the welfare of our members,” Gen. Muhoozi told members, adding that it is the duty of the leadership to maintain the sound relationship with WSACCO to provide reliable solutions that can fight poverty.

He said there must be trust between the leadership and members to have a SACCO that can transform the lives of its members and not just accumulation of figures.

Gen Muhoozi advised WSACCO Board, Supervisory Committee (SUPCO) and Management to work together so as to realize the objectives of the WSACCO.

WSACCO Board Chairman and Deputy Commander Land Forces, Maj. Gen. Sam Kavuma, the SACCO provides an opportunity for the UPDF fraternity to come together and accumulate a fund that will better their welfare and prepare them for life after retirement.

Maj. Gen. Kavuma said, the society’s asset base stood at Shs271.1 billion against Shs219.1 billion in the last financial year and mainly attributed this growth to the rolled-out re-financing that enabled members to access more loans on top of their existing loans.

He encouraged members to continue saving tirelessly by revisiting their enterprise selection and investing in real assets that generate income to fill the liquidity shortfall.

Invest in assets that generate income- CDF Gen David Muhoozi

The Chief Executive Officer of WSACCO Brig Simon Ocan said WSACCO registered numerous achievements despite the existing challenges like failure on delivery of new ATM cards, poor service delivery on the OTC platform by Post Bank Uganda and the halt on WazaMobile services by M/S Neptune and MTN in mid-December 2018.

He, however called upon the UPDF leadership, Board, Management team and elected delegates to emphasize mobilization and sensitization of SACCO members especially in areas of accumulating savings, financial literacy and investment.

Members adopted and approved the proposal to issue bonuses to shareholders by appreciating the share value from Shs10,000 to Shs15,000, extending the maximum loan period from 4 to five years, increasing the loan size from Shs40 million to Shs80 million, among others.

Ethiopian Airlines: A look into China’s secretive lending to Africa

By
Guest Writer

Mr. Poenisch

By Herbert Poenisch

Questions are swirling around China’s financing of Ethiopian Airlines (ET), and whether it was part of the country’s secretive lending to Africa.

China’s footprints are visible in Ethiopia, as in other parts of Africa. This includes a recently expanded ET terminal at Addis Ababa Bole international airport and a new five-star hotel. An increasing number of Chinese travellers are transiting through Addis Ababa to various destinations in Africa, all made possible by the rapid growth and expansion of ET’s network. Passengers from Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai can now reach 61 destinations in Africa thanks to the carrier.

While it is difficult to obtain hard facts about Beijing’s involvement, there are indications that Chinese banks, in particular the China Export Import Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Financial Leasing, have lent large amounts to Ethiopian Airlines.

According to the carrier’s 2016-17 annual report, its total outstanding loans amounted to $ 1.5 billion, or 65 per cent of its total liabilities, net of capital. This is a healthy situation, but the breakdown into individual creditors is unclear.

Known lenders include the US Export Import Bank, JPMorgan, the African Development Bank, the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank, ING and Société Générale. ET’s new Boeing 737 Max aircrafts were funded partly by the US branch of financial services firm Investec. However, the creditors whose names are listed publicly account for fewer than half of the company’s long-term loans. Substantial funding therefore came from unallocated lenders, some of which are likely to be Chinese. In their annual reports, the China Exim Bank and ICBC Financial Leasing are vague on their strategies in Africa.

The China Exim Bank’s priority is promoting the Belt and Road initiative. While China has never published a list of Belt and Road countries, African states such as South Africa, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia are first on the list of responsibilities of the China Exim Bank Africa office.

The China Exim Bank has deep pockets. By 2017 it had spent $37 billion on overseas investment loans, $113 billion on international co-operation loans and $135 illiobn on loans supporting greater openness in addition to their trade finance.

The tragic crash of ET Flight 302 on March 10 shone a light on China’s involvement in Africa. Once its causes become clearer, it may lead to a reassessment of the risks of lending to a fast-expanding airline. It is possible western creditors will react faster than their Chinese counterparts. Regardless of the extent of ET’s fault in the crash, lenders will probably continue to support the airline. This is particularly true of Chinese investors as part of Beijing’s ‘going global’ strategy; Ethiopia plays an important role as a transport hub in Africa. Any retrenchment would have a knock-on effect on China’s strategy elsewhere on the continent. Chinese airlines are in no position to fill the gap if the country downscaled its commitment to ET. In addition, the airline’s success has made it a profitable Chinese investment.

Cylone Idai

Uganda has joined the international community and the rest of the world to avail relief assistance to the people of Mozambique following the effects of the devastating cyclone Idai.

The financial assistance amount to US $200,000 about (Shs740 million) was announced by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Okello Oryem following a directive by President Museveni in fulfillment of his pledge to rally support to assist victims affected by this disaster that occurred from 4th March – March 12, 2019.

Ugandan startups get least funding in East Africa as Kenya tops Africa -report

Agro-Supply-Uganda-was-recently chosen-as-the-winner-of-the-Seedstars-Kampala-competition.

Ugandan startups attracted the least funding in the East African region, according to a 2018 report by Partech Africa on funding rounds made by startups in Africa.

The report, which focused on only deals in the Tech & Digital space, did not include investments in form of grants, awards, prizes, debt, loans, Initial Coin Offering (ICO), non-equity assistance and M&A deals.

It only looked at Equity deals, and the figures were derived from funding rounds higher than US $ 200K and lower than US $100 Million. “We cover what we can categorize as Late Seed to Growth stage Equity rounds,” Partech Africa says.

According to the report, only US $2 million was invested in the startup sector in Uganda, way-below what its East African counterparts raised.

For instance, Kenya which attracted the highest funding rounds in Africa got US $348 million, Tanzania which was the fourth best on the continent received US $75 million and Rwandan startups secured US $19 million.

Rwanda ranks at number 8 on the continent and the third best in East Africa while Uganda ranks at position 17, according to the Partech Africa report.

Nevertheless, despite the small figures, Uganda registered improvement, since the 2017 report made by the same team showed the startup sector in Uganda had attracted less than US$0.5 million.

Away from East Africa, Nigeria which was the second best on the continent attracted US $306m, followed by South Africa with $25om and Egypt was in position six, after Tanzania, with US$67 million.

In all, 146 African tech startups raised a total of US $1.163 billion in equity through 164 rounds, representing a 108 per cent year on year growth.

In 2017, only US $560 million was raised in 128 rounds by 124 start-ups.

Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa are still leading the race, absorbing 78 per cent of the total funding, the report shows.

Driven by Fintech, Financial Inclusion remains the main investment sector in the continent, attracting 50 percent of the total funding.

Top minister among other private individuals owning 99.9% of Uganda National Airline

Uganda Airlines

As Ugandans prepare to jubilate for the the return of Uganda National Airline into the skies, the shocking news is that the airline is 99.9 per cent privately owned by unnamed individuals – with government of Uganda owning just an paltry 0.0001 per cent of the airline’s shares, a revelation that yesterday shocked Members of Parliament.

According to sources, among people with major shares is a top government minister who is known for wielding influence.

This revelation was disclosed by Lira district Woman MP Joy Atim Ongom on the opposition who sit on the Budget Committee and wrote their minority report following the approval of a Shs280 billion supplementary budget for the purchase of the first two Bombardier planes from Canada. MPs were shocked to learn that an individual took out a patent on the Uganda Airlines company name. The story that some individual had patented the name of Uganda National Airlines came out about two years ago back but now it has been confirmed.

In June 2016, President Museveni told his cabinet in his first address that Uganda Airlines was to fly again because lack of a national airline is a ‘big shame.’ Then in 2017, the minister of state for Transport, Aggrey Bagiire, told the media that who owns the name was not a problem at all.

“It’s true the name was registered by someone [who] I also do not know. It’s true the name was used in the Uganda Registration Services Bureau, but what is important is the revival of the national carrier, which we are working on,” said Bagiire then.

“The most important thing is that we shall get another name, which will show the planes are for Uganda,” he said at the time.

Now, in his report to parliament yesterday, Budget committee chairperson Amos Lugoloobi said, that considering the urgency associated with the procurement of the two bombardier planes, his committee took a decision to prepare and present a separate report for the items while still in the process of scrutinizing other items on the total Shs770.2 billion supplementary budget presented by government earlier this month.

Among the approved expenditure of the multi-billion supplementary budget, were the Shs 280 billion for the purchase of the planes and the Shs12 billion for the payment of ground rent arrears to Kampala Archdiocese for the land leased to Uganda Police Force at Nsambya police barracks.

Lugoloobi said the approved supplementary expenditures for the aircraft and the Archdiocese shall be financed through the additional revenue release in the FY 2018/2019 and proceeds from the anticipated US $60 MTN license renewal fees payment and capital gains tax resulting from the sale of Tullow Oil’s assets to Total E&P Uganda at US $15 million.

Lugoloobi justified the approval of Shs280 billion for Uganda Airlines, saying failure to pay, would result in severe penalties and damages against Uganda. Ministry of Works and Transport has been putting enormous pressure on parliament to approve the Shs280 billion supplementary budget for the purchase of the planes, arguing that Uganda has already defaulted on its payment schedule.

Last year, Uganda ordered for four CRJ900 regional jets with Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, as part of the much-anticipated plan for the revival of Uganda Airlines. The first jets were supposed to have been delivered in January and February this year, but government kept pushing forward the arrival time.

During her interactions with the Budget Committee last week, Works and Transport minister Monica Ntege Azuba, said the funds for the purchase ought to be availed as soon as possible because any further delays means that Uganda will have to incur costs of insurance and parking fees as the planes lie idle with the manufacturer.

Azuba warned that the required Shs280 billion has to be made within the next 6 days by March 29 or else the manufacturer will push Uganda’s aircraft orders aside to 2022.

Two opposition MPs authored a minority report, appealing to parliament to reject the approved supplementary budget requests. Kasese Woman MP Winfred Kiiza and Lira Woman MP Joy Atim Ongom informed parliament of a number of irregularities that need to be addressed before the supplementary can be approved.

Ongom demanded that government first tables before parliament, proof regarding ownership of Uganda Airlines as well as amending the MoU for government to be allocated majority shares that can be later floated to the public.

“The share capital of Uganda National Airlines Company Limited is 200 million divided into 2 million shares. Of the two million shares, only two shares worth Shs200 to minister of Works and Transport as well as ministry of Finance. This makes both ministries to be minority shareholders holding only 0.0001 per cent of the shares. At the moment the owners of the 99.9 per cent shares are unknown. The owners will only be determined when the directors decide to allocate the shores. It was asserted that the majority shares will be floated to the public,” said Ongom.

She also questioned the appointment of Secretary to the Treasury Keith Muhakanizi and Bageya Waiswa as directors of Uganda National Airlines Limited in their individual capacity. Ongom further said that it would be illegal to utilise the funds from the MTN licence to finance the airlines and that it was not permissible to utilise funds that are ideally reserved for an underfunded sector.

The Government of Uganda has injected approximately US $29.9 million into this company but has only 2 shares allocated lo it. The current investment in the company does not match the auhtorised share capital of the company. Whereas Shs1.26 trillion has been committed for the purchase of the six aircraft and operating capital of US $30 million was appropriated by Parliament in financial year 2018/2019, the auhtorised share capital of the company is only Shs200 million, says the minority report. “This is a serious risk to the public funds invested in the company. Government is likely to become o minority shareholder in the event that the remaining shares ore divested or sold lo o private person or persons,” the minority report says.

The Deputy Speaker, Jacob Oulanyah adjourned debate on both reports to Wednesday, which is today.

IGP-Ochola

The life of the late CP Christine Alalo stands as a testament to the entire human kind that global or institutional challenges have no control over greatness in you, the Inspector General of Government Martins Ochola Okoth said on Tuesday during a memorial service held for the late police officer at All Saints Church Nakasero.

Alalo who was serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) died in the Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 crash three weeks ago alongside 156 others as she was returning from Italy where she had been undergoing a Gender Protection Course.

“CP. Alalo was a strong woman, focused, determined, a great mentor to her team, full of life, instrumental in mainstreaming gender in the UPF, and always raised gender issues in all discourses,” Ochola told mourners.

“I would like to express on behalf of the Uganda Police Force, our sincere condolences to the deceased’s children, Parents and family friends. It is hard to imagine what you must be going through. CP. Alalo’s sudden and unexpected passing away must have been heartbreaking and devastating to you,” he said.

Joining the police

According to Ochola, having joined the force on 18th August 2001, the late distinguished herself and discharged her national and international police duties with utmost sincerity and commitment. She was a highly valuable and respected member of UPF and the effects of her passing are already being felt by the Institution. She made many great contributions to the institution and helped it move forward in numerous ways.

During the 17(seventeen) and half years of police service, she served as OC Station Lira, DPC Entebbe, Staff officer of the Directorate of Human Resource Management, served in United Nations (UN) Mission in Sudan, Commissioner of Child and Family Protection Department and in 2015, she was appointed as Deputy Commissioner AMISOM in Somalia. At the time of her demise, she was the Acting Commissioner AMISOM.

Before joining AMISOM, she was subjected to an interview and emerged the winner among other competitors. This was because of the experience she gained having served in United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) as a Peacekeeper in 2007 to 2009.

Before she left for AMISOM, she headed the Department of Child and Family Protection Unit where she excelled in her duties and was awarded the European Union’s Human Rights Defender prize in June 2014.

In AMISOM, she was rated highly in the discharge of her responsibilities to the extent that she acted as the Police Commissioner, in the absence of a substantive Police Commissioner.

From African Union ratings, the Late performed her duties to the satisfaction of African Union Commission (AUC) and all critical stakeholders, by inspiring Police personnel in the Mission to higher levels of commitment, dedication and service to the cause of peace in Somalia.

She was an officer of high integrity, hardworking, dedication, commitment and professionalism and, gained respect from whoever would interact or work with at all different levels.

Her diligence to work saw her rise in ranks and by the time of her death she was a Commissioner of Police who had very commendable potential to rise to up to the top of UPF rankings. She mentored many officers throughout her carrier and took them up as sons and daughters, she was indeed a mother of the nation, highly respected member of the force who loved her job.
