The President of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Patrick Amuriat Oboi has been named the Party presidential flag bearer in the 2021 general elections.

He was confirmed by Mr. Toteremuka Bamwenda, the FDC Party electoral commission Chairperson after Wasswa Biriggwa opted out of Presidential flag bearer race during the National Council which convened at the party headquarters at Najjanankumbi.

Eng. Patrick Amuriat pledged to play his part in the forthcoming presidential election where he hopes to oust the incumbent president Museveni from power.

Amuriat became the FDC Party President having won elections on 24th November 2017, in the party’s 7th National Delegates Conference that was held at Mandela National Stadium, becoming the third (3) President after Maj Gen. Gregory Mugisha Muntu (November 2012-November 2017) and Dr. Kizza Besigye (2005 – November 2012).

“Thank you for welcoming me as the president of the FDC and as the presidential flag bearer. I came here for nothing but to add on what my predecessors have done towards taking the presidential leadership of this country,” he said.

He applauded Leaders from various districts and that party headquarters who have accorded him support since he assumed the presidential leadership of the party.

“I remember Semujju Nganda was the chief campaigner of Gen Mugisha Muntu, Now the founder of the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) Party in 2017. When the elections were done and I was declared the winner, Semujju came to me and said since you are the new party president,  I am here and ready to serve my party,” Amuriat said.

He said that he will not watch on as the ruling party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) enslave deprived Ugandans as it did in the just concluded NRM primaries.

“We are this time changing the tone, 2021 elections is not the same cup of tea that Museveni has been grabbing over the years,” he said adding that starting from tomorrow, he will traverse all over the country seeking signatures for a head of presidential nominations.

He decried state machinery deployed to cramp down the opposition parties in the country.

dtb-ham

Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) has filed a notice of appeal against the judgment of Justice Henry Peter Adonyo in the matter between the Bank and Ham Enterprise Limited.

In his ruling yesterday, the judge directed DTB to refund Shs 120 billion which was debited from the accounts of Hamis Kiggundu and interest of 8% (shs9.6 billion) as penalties.

He faulted DTB Kenya for appointing its counterpart saying it had no license to carry out financial business in Uganda as per the financial institutions act of 2004.

“The act contravenes regulation number five and therefore DTB Uganda is penalized for taking part of illegal business,” he ruled.

Upon the ruling, DTB, in consultation with its legal advisers filed notice of appeal. “We look forward to the expeditious resolution of the matter in court in the court of appeal and are confident that the case will be determined on its merits.” the bank said.

The bank assured its stakeholders that they remain in good standing and their operations continue uninterrupted.

In February 2011 and August 2018, Kiggundu sought and offered $4,014,444 and $6,974,600 loans by the banks for construction of commercial properties. To secure the loan Kiggundu mortgaged Kyadondo Block 248, Plot 328 land at Kawuku, FRV 1533, Folio 3, Plot 36-38, Victoria Crescent II Kyadondo and LRV 3176 Folio 10, Plot 923, and Block 9 located at Makerere Hill Road.

DTB Kenya contacted its counterpart in Uganda to collect loan facility from the Business man. However DTB-Uganda insist that it did not act as an agent of DTB-Kenya to conduct business in Uganda, but only sought its services as a collection agent for it to receive its payments from Ham Enterprises Limited.

In March, Ham dragged both banks to court for siphoning over sh120b from his accounts without his consent. He also wanted court declare that the banks demand for $4,014,444 and $6,974,600, which was advanced to him by DTB-Kenya, is illegal and unenforceable on the grounds that the Kenyan bank had no license to carry out financial business in Uganda.

Court throws out DAPCB application challenging COSASE from investigating them over departed Asians Properties

By

Muhammed Allibhai

Justice Musa Ssekaana, in a seating at the Civil Division of the High Court in Kampala, has thrown out an application filed by three members of Departed Asians Properties Custodian Board (DAPCB) in which they were challenging parliament’s COSASE from investigating their involvement in the alleged mismanagement of the said properties and a number of mischievous activities within the board.

In a ruling issued by Justice Sekaana on May 26th 2020, the Expropriated Properties Act (EPA) does not leave room for repossessed properties to be recalled or investigated unless the responsible minister appeals for change of the law.

“The act under section 7 (a) provides that a certificate of repossession issued under section 5 and 6 shall be sufficient authority for the chief registrar of tiles to transfer title to the former owner.

“Having issued the said certificate of repossession, the Minister is functus officio according to the act as it did not leave a window for which the ministers decision would be changed or amended unless by way of appeal under section 15 of the act which is to be made within 30 days from the date of communication of the decision to the High court,” Justice Ssekaana ruled.

“Retention of any implied power by the minister to revoke his decision on the ground that it was made in error would perpetuate that very uncertainties about ownership of the expropriated properties, which the act intended to eliminate,” he added.

Sekaana’s ruling by then reinforced last year’s opinion by the Attorney General Mr Willian Byaruhanga who explained that Asian properties already allocated to different individuals through court processes cannot be reversed.

In yesterday’s ruling whereby applicants including Muhammed Allibhai, Pradip Nandlal Karia and Minex Karia brought separate applications for judicial review combined with enforcement of rights under articles 28, 42, 44 (c) and 50 of the constitution and sections 36 and 38 of the Judicature Act cap 13 and rules 3, 6, 7 and 8 of the judicature rules, S.I no. 11 of 2009, Justice Ssekaana ruled, ordered and declared that;

A DECLARATION that the respondents’ parliamentary sub-committee on commission, statutory authorities and state enterprises COSASE acted ultra vires when it held out to act as court of law, sat in judgments of court and issued warrant of arrest against applicants and the same is null and void.

A DECLARATION that the respondents COSASE decision to hear disputes involving private individuals and make decisions and order of a criminal nature usurped and hijacked the jurisdictional mandate of the constitutional court by continuing to conduct parallel proceedings to interfere with the Independence of the judiciary and is ultra vires, illegal, unfair, null and void.

A DECLARATION that the respondents directive to the applicant to cede his statutory rights and privileges to petition the speaker and get her decision excusing him from proceedings and production of documents without her making a decision or else contemporaneously/forcefully issue a criminal arrest warrant against him is irrational, illegal unfair, null and void

A DECLARATION that the speaker of parliament decision to abdicate and/or not to act on the applicants petition and objections and letting the COSASE committee to continue with the impugned proceedings was a breach of discretion and the law governing Parliament is ultra vires, illegal, null and void

A DECLARATION that COSASE acted irrationally when it usurped and subjected the applicants petition to the speaker of parliament to the jurisdiction whose very decision it was against orders and pronouncement without waiting speakers decision and this was vires and denial of a fair hearing and null and void

A DECLARATION that the COSASE decision to disregard the applicants petition to the speaker of parliament before she exercised her discretion on excuisn him from the hearinf and producing documents as part of his statutory rifht and privilege under s. 1 of the parliamentary act and proceeding to make contrary pronouncements, orders and directives was a denial of a fair hearing and the same is ultra vires, null and void.

An ORDER OF CERTIORARI doth issues to call for and quash the respondents decision and proceedings of 10th mach 2020 and 16 march 2020 into court for quashing for being an illegality

An ORDER OF PROHIBITION doth issues barring the respondent, their agents or any other person acting under them enforcing the decision to issue an arrest warrant without the involve of the speaker of parliament as required by law to commenced criminal proceedings against the applicants

An ORDER OF INJUNCTION doth issue restraining the respondent , their servants, agents or any other person acting under their authority from subjecting the applicant to any criminal proceeding arising from the decision contained in the respondents impugned proceeding dated 10th march 2020 and 16th march 2020

Punitive and exemplary damages for the respondents arbitrary, highhanded and oppressive treatment of the applicants.

General damages

Costs

Background of the case: Under decree no. 27 and 29 of 1972, all property for non-citizen Asians and Ugandan citizens of Asian origin was vested in government upon their expulsion from Uganda. The laws on the management of expropriated property were eventually consolidated into the assets of Departed Asians Act Cap 83 which vested the departed Asians property Custodian Board with power to manage the assets until 1982 when the Expropriated Properties Act was enacted.

Upon its enactment, the property which had been expropriated during the military regime was vested in the hands of the Minister for Finance on behalf of the government to provide for a return to its former owners.

Meanwhile, under the law, the Act Cap. 87 guides the repossession of formerly expropriated Asian properties in Uganda and this provides that eligible persons to repossess the property include; a former owner who was a registered proprietor at the time of expropriation or a shareholder and a duly appointed attorney of any former owner.

Some of the property under investigation include plots 33-37 on Kampala road Entebbe and plot 65 on Kampala road Entebbe which the committee queried on how the ownership of such property changed from leasehold to freehold.

Covid-19: Gulu, Jinja, Kasese among worst districts affected by hunger

Covid-19 testing kits

Ugandans in nine urban areas were at crisis levels of food insecurity or worse for months leading to August because of negative impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown. The worst affected were Gulu, Jinja and Kasese where nearly one in three people struggled to find nutritious food on a regular basis.

For the rest of the year, Gulu and Kasese are expected to remain at Crisis levels even while their markets are supplied with harvests.

These were some of the findings of the most comprehensive Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis conducted in Uganda to date, covering Kampala and other urban areas, the Karamoja region and refugee settlements and host communities for the first time.

The analysis was carried out by the Government of Uganda and three UN agencies and measures food insecurity from June through August and projected from September to December. It was informed in part by real-time data gathered by remote telephone monitoring of households in 13 urban areas, refugee hosting districts and Karamoja region in the northeast. It is the first time, real-time data informed the IPC on urban areas.

The IPC attributed Crisis food insecurity to the loss of livelihoods in the informal sector, tourism, the travel and events industry and the education sector, reduced remittances and reduced commercial networks due to the closure of borders.

Releasing the results of the analysis, the Minister for Disaster Preparedness and Refugees, Eng. Hillary Onek, said that the Government is committed to ensuring food and nutrition security and well-being for all people in Uganda, including those in urban areas.

Speaking while releasing the results of the analysis, the Minister for Disaster Preparedness and Refugees, Eng. Hillary Onek, said the Government is committed to ensuring food and nutrition security and well-being for all people in the country, including those in urban areas.

“With these new findings, we now know, reliably, who the most food-insecure people are in Uganda, where they are and what we can do to save lives and preserve livelihoods. Such knowledge is critical before we take any decisions,” Mr Onek said.

“We thank our partners for working with us to come up with this very important analysis. We now must continue to work together to find solutions to the issues raised in the study,” Mr Onek added.

Currently, through a collaboration with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, the United Nations makes 10,000 calls a month to monitor food security in refugee areas, 12 urban areas and Karamoja region.

Using the real-time and other data, the IPC found that refugees in all 13 settlements in Uganda along with more than 1.3 million Ugandans in refugee-hosting districts and Karamoja region experienced Crisis or worse levels of hunger between June and August.

In Karamoja, all districts had worrying levels of malnutrition among young children and pregnant and nursing women, with malnutrition above emergency levels in Moroto and Napak.

The IPC attributed the high levels of food insecurity in refugee hosting districts and Karamoja to WFP’s ration cuts for refugees, the lockdown, floods and subsequent food losses, animal and human diseases, and insecurity in some parts of Karamoja and reduced remittances as key contributors to the situation.

“Ration cuts for refugees will remain in place until we secure sufficient funding. To be able to provide full rations for refugees in the settlements until the end of 2020, WFP needs nearly US$41.7 million immediately,” said WFP Uganda Country Director, Mr El-Khidir Daloum.

FAO’s Deputy Representative, Ms Priya Gujadhur said “As part of the UN Uganda’s Emergency Appeal launched earlier this year, FAO has appealed for USD 7.8 million for food security, nutrition and livelihoods interventions. This will allow FAO to provide agricultural livelihood support and training in climate smart agricultural practices to help up to 10,000 of the most vulnerable households produce for their own consumption and diversify income sources through value chain development, thereby strengthening their resilience.”

Even with coming harvests this year, it is expected households will continue to struggle with food shortages partly because of lost incomes during the lockdown. All refugee settlements are expected to remain at Crisis level at best. Food security should improve in nine out of 12 worst-affected refugee-hosting districts. Malnutrition is expected to decline in two districts in Karamoja in the coming months.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, the Ministry for Disaster Preparedness and Refugees, Kampala Capital City Authority, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and WFP participated in the IPC analysis. The European Union, World Bank and UK Aid funded the exercise.

Sweden funds emergency cash transfers to women and children impacted by COVID-19 in West Nile

Covid-19 testing kits

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Government of Uganda will begin making emergency cash transfers in the coming days to more than 56,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of two, including refugees, in the West Nile region.

The emergency intervention was made possible by Swedish funding to a social protection and health systems strengthening programme implemented jointly by WFP and UNICEF.

“Sweden had already committed US$25 million to support Uganda’s efforts to improve community and household resilience among refugees and host populations in West Nile when COVID-19 came,” said Ola Hällgren, Head of Development Cooperation at the Embassy of Sweden.

“The close partnership with WFP allowed us to quickly adapt our support at a time of crisis, re-allocating US$ 4 million to the emergency transfer,” he said. “Through this support and other interventions, Sweden remains committed to contributing to Uganda’s efforts to address the negative impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable communities,” Hällgren said.

The transfers are intended to stabilise women’s and children’s feeding following disruptions in their access to nutritious food during the COVID-19 lockdown, which coincided with WFP food ration cuts to all refugees living in 13 settlements in Uganda.

WFP will direct the cash to 43,300 women and children who are benefitting from its Mother and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) initiative in addition to another 13,200 people assisted through the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) and the Third Northern Uganda Social Action Fund 3 (NUSAF 3) public works programmes. DRDIP and NUSAF 3 are Government of Uganda projects implemented under the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).

The Director, DRDIP/NUSAF, Dr Robert Limlim, said that the Government has an important role in mitigating the effects of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable individuals in Uganda.

“To be able to cover the most vulnerable households in a short time frame, cash transfers call for rigorous coordination between governments and humanitarian partners. That is where we come in, leveraging our experience working with Uganda’s refugee-hosting districts and settlements,” he said.

An Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis for June to December 2020 recommended strengthened social protection as one of the means by which refugees and host communities can be assisted to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, ration cuts and other challenges such as flooding and post-harvest food losses.

“That is exactly what we are doing,” said WFP Country Director El-Khidir Daloum. “Moreover, we are using the most optimal means of assistance cash to cushion women and children threatened by malnutrition.”

Daloum said that WFP is extremely grateful for Sweden’s support, which will enable it to assist the most vulnerable people during the global pandemic.

Each woman or child involved with the DRDIP/NUSAF 3 will receive a lump sum of UGS 144,000 to meet their nutritious food needs over a period of three months (UGS 48,000/month). Each of the women and children on the MCHN programme will receive a two-month’ equivalent of UGS 96,000.

The transfer will be distributed as cash through mobile bank vans to individuals identified as the most vulnerable by their communities in the districts of Adjumani, Arua, Madi Okollo, Koboko, Moyo, Obongi, Terego and Yumbe.

Equal Opportunities boss Sylvia Ntambi skips court

Sylvia Muwebwa

The Chairperson of Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) Sylvia Muwebwa Ntambi has skipped court following criminal summons extended against her.

Last week the Anti-Corruption Court chief magistrate, Pamela Lamunu Ocaya issued criminal summons against Mrs. Ntambi to pronounce herself over several charges of causing financial loss, embezzlement, corruption, abuse of office and conspiracy to defraud.

Through her lawyers led by McDusman Kabega, Mrs. Ntambi adduced medical forms indicating that she is sick and therefore she couldn’t attend Court proceedings. She further presented a letter from her doctor at Medik Hospital Kawempe confirming that she is suffering from hypertensive crisis.

The charging of Sylvia Muwebwa Ntambi and nine others follows the lunging of complaints to President Yoweri Museveni calling for his intervention. According to a petition dated 22nd May 2019, the whistleblower accused her of causing financial loss of over Shs200 million through termination of workers contracts and forcing workers to resign and replace them with her relatives and friends.

Since she took over the chairperson-ship of the commission, the whistleblower said Mrs Ntambi has unfairly dismissed over 11 staff, terminated over 10 staff contracts, and four contracts have not been renewed. In 2017/ 2018, the Auditor General advised the commission to employ people on permanent contracts however the chairperson declined and this has since led to financial losses.

They accused her of directing the collection of Shs100 million which they had approved in the commission meeting and the said money was to be used as kickbacks for individuals who worked hard for passing of the commission budget in 2018/19.

“It was paid and collected through individual bank accounts. It was collected and handed over to her at Kampala International University (KIU), Kansanga on 7th March 2019,” the whistle blower said. Despite being chairperson of the commission, Mrs Ntambi is averred to have forced her secretaries to pay her as consultant in production of various reports.

“The money was paid to Prof. Sunday Nicholas Olwor (Shs 14M), Kamahoro Enid (Shs 13M), Nassanga Sarah (Shs 5M), Atukunda Susan (Shs 6M), Mugisha James (Shs 12M), Kwesiga Ronnie (Shs 12M), Kwesiga Ronnie (Shs 10.55M), Sarah Nassanga (Shs 9M), Kwihangana Manasseh(Shs 13M), Prof. Sunday Nicholas Olwor (Shs 9.8M), Kwesiga Ronnie (Shs 9M) and sylvia Muwebwa Ntambi (Shs 13M),” payment slips indicate.

She is also accused of irregular approval of allowances of various members of the commission, using commission vehicle for doing private businesses, irregular recruitment of staff without embracing commission procedures. It is said that she illegally recruited Betty Namazzi, Juma Waira and Petau Isabirye Babirye.

The whistleblower also revealed that the Ag commissioner Jjemba Evans holds two offices as the head of department of compliance and enforcement and research, monitoring and evaluation.

Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, Boundless Minds launch Youth Mentorship program

Benjamin Rukwengye, Founder and Chief Executive of Boundless Minds joins Melkamu Abebe, Head of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa in Uganda to launch the Elevate! youth mentorship program

Coca-Cola Beverages Africa in Uganda, in partnership with Boundless Minds have launched a virtual youth mentorship program to empower youth aged 16-20 years with work-readiness skills to support their school-to-work transition.

Dubbed ‘Elevate!’, the program is designed to fill the gap created by the closure of schools due to the Covid-19 which stopped students in higher institutions from continuing formal learning or receiving additional mentorship after schools closed.

“We believe in enhancing the communities we operate in; through education, youth development, civic initiatives and other community activities. These are challenging times and we are fully committed to doing everything we can to help in all areas. In the context of covid-19 pandemic, we have new enormous challenges for our education systems and labor markets, but also a unique opportunity for structural changes between these two worlds and positive lasting effects. We are hopeful that this program will secure young people’s transition to work as it offers a comprehensive support system that guides and empowers young people on their educational and vocational pathways,” said Melkamu Abebe, General Manager of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa in Uganda.

“Considering the inevitable changes to work, employment and entrepreneurship will need to be redefined, especially for people at entry level. There is therefore, a need to create platforms that will mitigate the situation and enable students to access mentorship support that prepares them for the world of work, during this period,” said Benjamin Rukwengye, Founder and Chief Executive of Boundless Minds

Regarding the partnership, Rukwengye noted that this partnership amplifies their vision of preparing young people for work by increasing collaboration between institutions of learning and industry.

“We are honored to partner with CCBA to offer mentorship to the next generation of professionals, entrepreneurs and social justice champions – especially now, when the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education systems and is drastically changing the future of work,” he said.

Currently there there is a severe mismatch between the skills of young graduates entering the job market and the skills that employers need for today’s global workforce. An estimated 83% of the total unemployed in Uganda are youth and more than 70% of over 40,000 fresh graduates are unable to secure a job because they are unemployable. Across Africa, millions of youth lack adequate work-readiness or entrepreneurship skills and this program is one step towards reducing the youth burden.

Participants will be enrolled on a rolling basis, primarily using The Mentor to access content in

Form of best practices, graphics and text. This shall be supplemented with the creation of

Online discussion groups for on-spot learning through mentorship sessions, thematic articles and videos. The mentorship period will run for 10 weeks, with the first intake running from October to December of 2020.

Elevate! is designed to be low-cost and low maintenance so that the youth can engage in it fully online. As part of the program, Boundless Minds will take lead in administering the training, assessments and tracking engagement and participation. The talk topics will involve employees of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, professionals and Alumni of Boundless Minds.
