Yesterday during

i begged the indulgence of the house as peoples' representatives to dedicate time & listen to what our young people; the Gen Z's & the Gen Y's (Millennials) are saying about the endemic corruption in Uganda.
The impunity must stop

Congratulations Mr President Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka
@HEBobiwine
upon graduating with a Bachelor of Laws.
That is truly an accomplishment only a select few earn; and you are now part of that select few. You continue to raise the bar & achieve ALL of you dreams.
It is important to give citizens an avenue to take active participation in holding their leaders accountable on corruption.
This is because corruption affects them the most. As a people centred
@Parliament_Ug
we must rise to the occasion.

#March2Parliament
Spent the Greater part of Saturday, interacting with my locals in Mawogola South as part of my oversight role.
This is in a bid to consolidate our gains, re-energize & re-organize our revolutionary bases & grassroot structures ahead of a New Uganda in 2026 under
@HEBobiwine
.
Jjajja knows his grandchildren & they are not (us) ordinary Ugandans. This explains the breakdown in the provision of basic social services to the Wanainchi.
Little wonder, Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital in his neighbourhood has no delivery bed for mothers.
#NotYourBazzukulu
More than ever before I am convinced that Rt Hon
@JoelSsenyonyi
is the best Leader of Opposition that we needed for his wise leadership.
I have seen regime apologists saying we should attend the Parliamentary Regional Sittings without giving a sound reason.
#GuluSittings2024
The anti-corruption protest by the Gen Z & the Gen Y activists is commendable.
Their arrest & continued detention amounts to intimidation & harassment. This is a clear attempt by Mr M7 & NRM to suppress freedom of expression, association & peaceful assembly.
#March2Parliament
It is illogical to spend 20b shs on regional sittings when the ministry of finance has failed to provide only 18b shs to deploy medical interns in health facilities across the country.
Gulu Regional Referral Hospital is as well struggling with underfunding.
#Gulusittings2024
Weekends are fun in Mawogola South Constituency-Sembabule Dist. I always spare time to attend social events such as weddings to interact with my constituents.
The wedding guests are always electrified by great songs of President

playing on repeat—it’s a whole vibe.
It’s such a delighting moment to be born on a day when the President is landing home. Join me to celebrate this my birthday in style as we do welcome HE Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu at Entebbe Airport. @ Thursday 5th October , teli kulanga kulala.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Happy Sunday Comrades!
As the brutal force of Mr M7 & NRM gov't intensifies its clamp down on peaceful youths (Gen Z) protesting against corruption in gov't, i drew the attention of
@Parliament_Ug
to the preamble of the 1995 Constitution of Uganda which is the Supreme law of the land.
#March2Parliament
Gov't must find the Shs18 billion that is needed to deploy medical interns in health facilities.
If entities like Roko could be budgeted for, then money could be availed for the interns. The strike by medical interns is a symptom of misplaced priorities in budgeting.
#PlenaryUg
In my submission on the floor of
@Parliament_Ug
on the statement by the Minister of state for Health (General Duties)
@HonAnifaKawooya
over the delay to deploy medical interns in Health facilities, i pointed out where money can be re-allocated from to deploy interns.
#PlenaryUg
Mr Tibuhaburwa M7’s proposal to prioritize ROKO at the expense of other public needs during the re-allocation of Shs750 billion in the Appropriation Bill, 2024 which he objected to assent to was both baffling & symptomatic of the NRM government's mismanagement of public affairs.
In my submission during
#PlenaryUg
i told
@Parliament_Ug
that It is pointless to celebrate the International Youth Day 2024 when youthful
@NUP_Ug
supporters who were arrested during and after the 2021 General elections are left to rot in prisons on trumped-up charges.
#IYDUG2024
Mulago National Referral Hospital failed to utilise 132M that was meant for patient’s special meals thus leaving them hungry and angry. The money was returned to the consolidated fund at the end of the FY 2022/23.
The regional sittings by Parliament are a waste of tax payers' money & a sign of extravagance in the face of hard economic times.
The resources earmarked for the sittings should be utilized for more pressing national issues like deployment of medical interns.
#GuluSittings2024
Our deepest condolences to you Maama Lina Zedriga and family for the loss of your dear Son Aron, may the almighty Lord comfort you during this trying moment. RIP
I have taken a step to write to the PS ministry of Health in request for standard specifications for a delivery bed with intentions of buying one (1) for Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital that has none out of the 4 required. This has remained unfunded for the last 5 years.
While at a traditional wedding ceremony in Kibengo village, Kasambya Parish, Mitete Sub-county, Mawogola South Constituency, Ssembabule i urged the youths to live responsibly & also appealed to gov't cut the wastage of public resources & improve service delivery to the citizenry.
The NRM rule close to 4 decades has been characterised by long-term youth unemployment & underemployment.
It is time to invest in enterprise dev't & skilling to address the skills gap.Take a look at Ssembabule in Mawogola South that i represent there is no single Vocational sch.

For us as
@NUP_Ug
, people come first & we shall remain STEADFAST in our DEDICATION to them!
I add my voice to the voices of other Ugandans in condemning the unlawful & brutal arrest of young people who were protesting over corruption in the country.
We demand for their immediate release. Many haven't been produced before courts of law within 48 hours.
#March2Parliament
The cowardly NRA regime is at again brutalizing us & sealing off our
@NUP_Ug
party headquarters ahead of our lawful press conference as a political party.
We are using every tool at our disposal to expose their barbarism & gross violation of fundamental human rights & freedoms.
It's unfortunate that a section of Mps from Northen Uganda are trivializing our boycott of regional sittings & using it to fan tribal sentiments & regionalism.
Our decision to stay away is principled & our argument is that we don't need to spend extra 5b shs in this arrangement.
I pray Almighty Allah will bless you all with uninterrupted favors and your life is filled with good health. May Allah forgive us and bless us with your endless mercy on this blessed day. Fulfill us with goodness. Grant us our prayers and forgive our shortcomings. Jumma Mubarak!
From 8pm to 9pm today i will be live in the studios of 87.9

The Parish Development Model’s (PDM) current design has left many questions unanswered, especially on its ability to stamp out poverty.
I have embarked on a fact finding mission in Mawogola South to ascertain the impact of PDM & other economic empowerment programs in Uganda.
Police officers have become so brazen that they close offices of
@NUP_Ug
, arrest political leaders & Journalists who have come to attend a press Conference.
They know that what they are doing is illegal & for that matter they should not be captured on video. Enough is Enough.
I have taken my community engagement with locals & leaders over the parish development model (PDM) to Kayunga parish in Mateete sub-county.
The story is not any different from what we have found elsewhere.The PDM cash has not been distributed equitably. Gov't needs to do better.
My submission hinged on embracing diversity to navigate the struggle to end M7's dictatorship & leveraging the multigenerational potential to bring about the change we desire as Ugandans.
The biggest percentage of our population are young people who have been neglected by NRM.
In the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda of 1995, the Gov't pledges to take all practical measures to ensure the provision of basic medical services to the population.
In Kayunga Parish, Mawogola South-Sembabule District, the story seems to be different. This must change.
Where are our virtues of fiscal prudence as a country if we have to spend 20b shs on regional sittings in the guise of taking Parliament closer to the people?.
The concerns of Ugandans are always brought to the attention of the executive in plenary sessions.
#gulusittings2024
In my oversight role, i convened a meeting with residents and leaders of Kasambya parish in Mateete Sub county to find out whether they have benefited from the Parish Development Model (PDM).
The findings are rather shocking as most residents have never received a shilling.
May this Sunday bring our family closer, strengthening the bonds that bonds that make us unbreakable. Blessed Sunday comrades in the NUP family, Ebenezer.
I re-affirmed my commitment to the people of Mawogola South (Sembabule) on offering principled and values-driven leadership to them.
Responsible Leaders are guided by a strong set of personal values, such as courage, respect, honesty, integrity, and empathy & that starts family.
I am deeply saddened by the passing away of 12 people in the Kiteezi landfill tragedy.
We commit the families of the victims & those that were injured into the hands of God to be healed. It is sad that the NRM gov't saw this coming but didn't operationalize the Dundu dumpsite.
Hon Suzan Mugabi the Woman MP for Buvuma District has been brutalized by the men in uniform during the preparations for the Women’s day celebrations. We highly condemn such acts & ready to fight for the rights of not only leaders but the plight of women.

that we are back to business I Call-upon My Colleagues to attend Plenary and we serve our People# Together We Can#💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Attending Masaka Diocese day at Kitovu Arena. The president National Unity Platform His excellency Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu has attended and graced the function.# Together We Can#💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
In my speech at Our Lady Queen of Apostles Katimba Catholic Parish in Mitete, i explained why there is need to revist the terms of a proposal by gov't to borrow $136.95m from Citibank to finance the design & upgrading of Lusalira-Kasambya-Nkonge-Lumegere-Sembabule Road (97km).
During my oversight tour in Kayunga Parish, Mateete, Mawogola South-Sembabule over Parish Dev't Model, i came to terms with late coming & gross absenteeism of the health workers from their duty stations particularly at Kayunga Health Centre II putting lives of patients at risk.
I have observed from the Parish Dev't Model (PDM) tour in Manyama Parish-Mateete that the breakdown in social service delivery is partly responsible for the poor performance of the program in Mawogola South.
Some of the benefiaries are using money for Medicine & school fees.
It’s been an immense pleasure & honor to serve my country in this capacity as a leader with the mandate of the people which a calls for stewardship & a duty of service in the interest of the citizenry, however the status at hand poses a million dollar question on our achievements
Spent the day in Kasaana-Mateete where i visited the grieving family of Mr Fulgencio Kimbugwe,father of late Jjunju Andrew, a 6 yr old who together with Julius Asiimwe (2) were kidnapped,murdered & their bodies dumped in a pit latrine by a one Hassan Nalukoola & 7 other suspects.

The regional sittings are a wasteful expenditure.
The shrinking resources going to the social sector despite a 37% increase in the size of the 2024/25 budget, highlight the unfolding crisis of debt-financed spending, poor prioritisation & resource absorption.

for saluting the Gen Z's and all activists who have joined the Anti-Corruption crusade.
It is our collective responsibility to fight corruption & it is a public duty of every Ugandan. We shall not relent despite intimidation.
#ExposeTheCorrupt
We should be concerned over delayed utilization of loans because loans become more expensive as more interest & commitment fees are paid on them.
Delayed utilization of loans results from gov't failure to provide counterpart funding like for securing right of way for projects.
I have joined Mr Charles Kirumira & Mrs Theopista Kirumira of Mateete at their Golden Jubilee Marriage Anniversary celebrations.
The Holy Mass has been led by the Bishop of Masaka Diocese Rt Rev. Serverus Jjumba.
Mr Charles Kirumira is also celebrating 25 years as a Catechist.
As Uganda joins the rest of the world to commemorate the International Youth Day on Monday 12th August 2024 at Soroti Core PTC, Soroti District, i have challenged the NRM gov't to unconditionally release all youths who are in prisons for political reasons.

Today i am resuming with my fact finding mission in Mawogola South to ascertain the impact of Parish Dev't Model (PDM) & other economic empowerment programs in Uganda.
Manyama Parish-Mateete sub county we're coming to interact with locals,technical officers & other stakeholders.
If we were in power, instead of Parish Development Model (PDM), we would establish an agricultural bank to give out loans at a low interest rate and also establish an Integrated Rural Development Bank that mainly disburses interest free loans, with good pay back grace periods.
Proverbs 18:22. says,“He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord”
Congratulations John & Hellen. You lit up Mitete-Luwunga.
I reminded wedding guests about the Unity of purpose & appealed to security forces to stop torturing Opposition supporters.
We won’t stop expressing dissatisfaction brought about by the continuous Illegal Arrests, Torture, unnecessary imprisonments etc# we have resorted to Peacefully demonstrate by not attending Plenary not until our simple requests are Heard# Each Life Matters#💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Country men and women, join me support and pray for my People of Mawogola County South, they have greatly been affected by Heavy Rains and a lot of property has been destroyed. Together We Can 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Preliminary road repair works have commenced on Kalububbu-Mitete road in Mawogola South, Ssembabule.
We do not expect any delays by the ministry of works. The road will ease connectivity for farmers who transport their yields like coffee outside Ssembabule to earn a living.
I do appreciate the PS Ministry of Health for updating the country that the contract for supply of 5 delivery beds to Entebbe Hospital was signed on 30/05/24 yet we met Entebbe on 28/05/24 & clearly stated that this item remained unfunded in FY23/24 & 24/25.Who is the contractor?
The stories from the Parish Development Model (PDM) intended beneficiaries are distressing. The PDM loan involves cumbersome paperwork for the target group, making it costly for participants.
Poor peasants part with money for registration & still don't get PDM money.

My your Birthday bless you with all the courage & Strength you require to continue performing your roles as outstanding as you do. Happiest Birthday your HE Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu.
Hon Ssegirinya & Allan have been in prison for 17 months & now set free. It’s our duty comrades to welcome them to the new world with encouraging & cautious statements. Let’s not torment them, kindly give time reasonable to these our colleagues to nurse their wounds.
