Bugiri Municipality

Thank you, Mr Speaker, and congratulations. My question to the Prime Minister is: I have a bridge in Bugiri District that connects Bugiri to Butaleja. The Government of Uganda promised to work on that road 30 years ago. Recently, I visited the bridge. They had only worked on it 50 per cent, they abandoned it with the materials, and nothing is taking place. I request that the Prime Minister comes in and answer that, and then the Government takes action.

Madam Speaker, the local governments with additional local revenue are the following: Arua City, Jinja City, Lira City, Mbale City, Apac Municipal Council, Agago District, Budaka District, Bugiri District, Buhweju District, Bulambuli District, Bushenyi District, Dokolo District, Jinja District, Kalilo District, Kasese District, Kyikube District, Koboko District, Kyegegwa District, Kyenjojo District, Kyotera District, Mbarara District, Mitooma District, Moroto District, Nakapiripirit District, Nakasongola District, Namisindwa District, Obongi District, Pallisa District, Rubanda District, Rubirizi District, Rukiga District, Sironko District, Tororo District, among others. (Interjections) Madam Speaker, we have also provided Shs 72.9 billion as additional disbursement by the World Bank for the Generating Growth Opportunities and Productivity for Women Enterprises(GROW) project. The World Bank approved and disbursed additional funds for GROW project. These funds must be utilised, or the grant will be cancelled at the end of this financial year. Madam Speaker, I now come to the supplementary expenditures that are above the 3 per cent legal limit that require additional financing. The total is Shs 463.15 billion, and the particulars are as follows: i. Shs 56.95 billion for LC1, LC2, and Women Council Committee elections countrywide as directed by the Cabinet. These funds are required to support the Electoral Commission in fully implementing the electoral roadmap, as already approved by the Cabinet. ii. Shs 29.57 billion for AFCON 2027 preparatory activities. Honourable members, the Cabinet directed that we fully fund AFCON 2027, beginning with the immediate requirement in this Financial Year 2025/2026. These funds are required to implement the urgent preparatory works, reduce implementation risk and keep the overall AFCON 2027 preparation programme on schedule. The activities include the following; i) Shs 14.1 billion for preliminary works at Kabalega International Airport. This one will go to the Ministry of Works and Transport. ii) Shs 8.03 billion for priority road works and associated support activities in Kira Municipal Council. iii) Shs 3.06 billion for pitch improvement at Kadiba Football Stadium. iv) Shs 0.31 billion for branding of host cities and content production for the Destination Uganda documentary. v) Shs 1.0 17 billion for Hoima City and Masindi Municipality to finance sanitation and road safety interventions. vi) Shs 1.02 billion for meteorological and aviation safety support system. vii) Shs 1.8 billion for water utility preparatory works for the Hoima cluster. Madam Speaker, we also require; COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR

Thank you, well done, Chairman, and your team. Colleagues in the public gallery, we have a delegation of Bulesa Subcounty leaders from Bukooli County, Central Bugiri District. They are represented by Hon. Silwany Solomon and Hon. Taaka Agnes. They have come to observe the proceedings of this House. Please join me in welcoming them. Thank you. You can stand up for recognition. Chairperson, I have seen that you have touched on critical issues. But, colleagues, I think when it comes to the internet, how is it done? I think money is appropriated and then deducted at source and paid to the National Information Technology Authority - Uganda (NITA-U) to facilitate its work. So, for water, because the National Water and Sewerage Corporation, the money they get is the one they reinvest in extending water services to our rural areas. Now, here, we appropriate money, but when they release it to agencies, they do not remit it or find it as a priority - I think we need the ministry of finance here. Maybe, we should agree that for utilities, money should be directly deducted from the ministry for finance and directly. (Applause) Because this will take away the situation of knowing, if you cut off Luzira or Mulago, everyone will riot, and the same system should apply to electricity, seeing as Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) is a Government company. I think it would work well if they can have money to go and support. Honourable colleagues, the debate is now open and I will start with the Hon. Bob Okae, followed by Hon. Bwanika, Dr Apio, Hon. Nabukenya Brenda, Hon. Adeke Ann, Hon. Nambooze, Hon. Allan, Hon. Nkunyingi, Hon. Acrobert, Hon. Julius, Hon. Batuwa, Hon. Solo Kayembe - for now, and then I move to the other side. Honourable colleagues, to avoid delays, etcetera, I usually do not take procedural matters. Hon. Bob, 3 minutes each.

Thank you, honourable minister, for giving way. There has been degeneration in this issue of education. You find in different districts, different politicians are now setting exams in their names and giving children the exams. You find, for example, that the person names it “Solomon Silwany Examinations Board”. They set the exams and administer them. It has happened in my district, Bugiri District Local Government. They set exams in a person’s name and administer them. I have seen it. Even party presidents of different political parties set exams.

Thank you, honourable minister. Honourable colleagues, in the public gallery this afternoon, we have students of Kitumba Child Development Centre, Bukooli County Central, Bugiri District. They are represented by Hon. Solomon Silwany, Commissioner of Parliament, and Hon. Agnes Taaka. They have come to observe proceedings of this House. Please join me in welcoming them. (Applause) Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I congratulate you and wish you a happy birthday. Last Wednesday, I was privileged to officiate one of the activities to mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence in Bugiri District. I thank the minister for the report; however, the young women and girls had issues that I would like to put forward for the Government to intervene. The first is about those who have dropped out of school due to pregnancy and bearing children. When some give birth, they are chased away by their parents from home. They said that much as the Government has provided Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE); some have failed to go back to school because of the fees charged in most schools almost to the level of private schools. They request the Government to intervene in that matter. The other is the –

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I thank you for according us time to talk about our brother, parent and grandparent. Honourable members have talked about the late Henry Kyemba, but I would like to bring out something that has not been said yet. When we were growing up and after university, when I went back to work in my home area, Bugiri District, there was a very beautiful, elegant and smart lady, who used to come with NGOs in our area to show us how to work because it was a new district. She would have side sessions with us, young girls who had left the university and opted to work in the villages because, at that time, most girls wanted to work in Kampala. This lady created time and taught us how to speak, how to make your point clear and develop yourself as an individual, combine your office and work and be happy as a young mother or woman. That is Janet Kyemba. She came with very many NGOs, took up the responsibility of coordinating with them to work in Busoga and led them to where there was need. I am your product and I would like to thank you. That is also a sign that she had a husband who sacrificed in order for her to execute her office work because at that time, he had just

Thank you very much, the MP for Bukooli Central in Bugiri District. The information I would like to give is that on top of either not coming or coming late, when they appear, Madam Speaker, and they are done with their business, they walk out.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. On the 16 th of June, the country commemorated the Day of the African Child and Bugiri District had the opportunity to mark the same on the 6 th of July. The children raised a number of issues and I request that, after raising this matter, I lay their papers on Table for further scrutiny by this House, as you will guide. Madam Speaker, urgently, though, the children raised an issue of night fundraisings at vigils – during burial ceremonies.

MINISTERIAL POLICY STATEMENTS & BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR THE FY 2023/2024 Thursday, 20 April 2023 It has clear objectives of ensuring that at a certain time, Uganda becomes malaria free. Our slogan as the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Malaria is “A Malaria-Free Constituency Is My Responsibility”. For today, Mr Speaker, allow me appreciate you for accepting to be the patron of this forum, and above all, being a very committed patron, especially on matters of accountability. (Applause) Mr Speaker, I remember when you challenged us in Entebbe to clearly utilise whatever funds we get as a forum. Honourable members, I want to officially let you know that the forum, together with the Ministry of Health and other partners, have organised a Malaria Walk come Sunday, 23 April 2023. We shall have our patron, the Deputy Speaker, as the chief walker of the day. (Applause) The forum has gone ahead to mobilise a number of participants for the day. I request the honourable members and members of the public to support the forum and spare something small to get their kits for the day so that we are smart. Honourable members, the World Commemoration of Malaria is going to be in Bugiri District on 25 April 2023. I now take the opportunity, on behalf of the patron of the forum and the leadership of the forum, to invite all of us to participate in the Malaria Walk on Sunday. Afterwards, we shall participate in the IN THE PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA Official Report of the Proceedings of Parliament SECOND SESSION - 29TH SITTING - THIRD MEETING Parliament met at 10.12 a.m. in Parliament House, Kampala.

8231 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA THURSDAY, 20 APRIL 2023 Disclaimer: The electronic version of the Official Report of the proceedings of Parliament (Hansard) is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Office of the Clerk to Parliament. World Commemoration of Malaria in Bugiri District. We want to have a situation where we record zero cases of malaria, but that is only possible when we all get committed. Since I am making this presentation on behalf of the Deputy Speaker, I remember one day, he challenged all of us to be members of this forum. I now want to invite all of you to join the forum, as we join our efforts in the fight against malaria. Allow me wind up by saying that besides the Malaria Walk, we also have other activities organised for the day. We shall have blood donation; we have tasked the coordinator to engage one of the specialists in blood donation and have media coverage of them giving us the advantages of blood donation. If you have never donated blood, please come and save the lives of people in this country on the 23 rd . Across the country right now, we have challenges of blood shortage. We shall also have a medical camp on that day and a number of tests will be conducted here with treatment. In summary, those are the activities for that day of the Malaria Walk, but I am also inviting Members to participate in the commemoration of the World Malaria Day, come the 25 th of April this year. I thank you.

Thank you very much, honourable member for Bugiri District. Honourable minister, what the Member of Parliament is saying is that let us move away from single-carriage roads to dual ones in order to avoid the aspect of collision. And if you heard what the honourable minister said before, you notice that this accident occurred as a result of a collision. The driver of the other car just went to the side where Hon. Okabe was driving. If we have a dual carriage road, we could be able to avoid collisions of that kind. So, think about it as you come up with the next designs for roads.

5631 Thursday, 8 September 2022 This afternoon, we had a meeting with a team from the Executive. Of course, the team and the meeting was not meant to persuade us to change our position. We are still holding our position as the Legislature. (Applause) Nevertheless, whatever is to be done is the role of the Executive. We have given our position as the Legislature, that we are not in for whatever is happening. So, it is left to the Executive to ensure that it does not - Honourable members, on 25 August 2022, the Chief Opposition Whip, Hon. Nambeshe, directed a question to the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget, on budget allocation to the Contingency Fund pursuant to section 26(1) of the Public Finance Management Act. The Chairperson of the Committee on Budget is ready with his response and he will be presenting it. However, allow me to first amend the Order Paper that will have the Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill, 2022 so that the Attorney-General will be able to contribute to it since he is going for another engagement. Remember, we have only one legal adviser in the country. So, we will look at that Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill, 2022, and then continue with the rest of the business, as usual. Thank you for standing by your word. Honourable members, in the Public Gallery this afternoon, we have a delegation of Urban Council Speakers from Bugiri District. You are most welcome. (Applause) They are IN THE PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA Official Report of the Proceedings of Parliament SECOND SESSION - 28TH SITTING - FIRST MEETING Parliament met at 2.03 p.m. in Parliament House, Kampala.
