Mityana Municipality

Thank you, honourable members, for that observation. I was at the action taken, starting with Mubende District. Some staff of NIRA have been arrested: a) Tulibamu, a temporary registration assistant, arrested, out on bond, and his services terminated; b) Ssempeebwa, another temporary registration assistant. He was arrested, is out on bond and terminated; c) Nalweyiso, a temporary registration assistant. She was arrested, is out on bond and terminated; d) Nuwaine, a temporary registration assistant. He was arrested, is out on bond, and terminated. In Mityana District, Lutayisire, a temporary registration assistant was arrested, is out on bond, and terminated. In Wakiso District, Epalat, a temporary registration assistant was suspended and later terminated. In Mukono District, Wamala, a temporary registration assistant was suspended and then terminated. At the Headquarters here at Kololo, Kasasira, a temporary registration assistant was arrested, escaped from detention, and terminated. In Busia District, Ojambo, an information technology officer was arrested and taken to court. He is out on bond and on interdiction –

15150 THE NATIONAL COFFEE (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2024 The people I represent, in Mityana, are the best coffee growers in Mityana District. As I talk, they are sitting on the roads to see what this Parliament is going to resolve on UCDA. I urge this House and pray that, at least, we consider UCDA to survive for the good and livelihood of the people of Uganda, including those who are growing coffee for the first time – like my colleague here has suggested; that people in the North have woken up to grow coffee. If they have woken up, let us put more money in UCDA to go to the North and teach them the best practices of growing coffee and they get the money that they need. Thank you.

I would like to thank you very much, Madam Speaker, for the opportunity. However, before I move my motion, I bring special greetings from the people of Mityana to the people of the greater north. Madam Speaker, the constituency I am representing today was once represented by a person from northern Uganda called Ochieng. That is why there is Ochieng Zone in Nansana. Therefore, we have very great attachment to the people of northern Uganda in Mityana District. My motion is seeking leave of the House to introduce a Private Member’s Bill entitled, “The Administration of Parliament (Amendment) Bill,” moved under rules 56, 121, and 122 of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament. “WHEREAS Article 79 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995 empowers Parliament to make laws on any matter of the peace, order, development and good governance of Uganda; AND WHEREAS Article 94(4)(b) of the Constitution and Rules 121 and 122 of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament permits a Member of Parliament to move a Private Member’s Bill; AWARE that Article 82A of the Constitution and Section 7 of the Administration of Parliament Act Cap. 272 provide for a Leader of the Opposition in Parliament under multi-party organisations; NOTING that Section 8 of the Administration of Parliament Act Cap. 272 provides for the election of the Leader of the Opposition by the party in Opposition to the Government having the greatest numerical strength in Parliament; FURTHER NOTING that Section 15 of the Administration of Parliament Act Cap. 272 provides for the appointment of the Chief

Madam Speaker, my name is Richard Lumu Kizito. I represent the humble people of Mityana South in Mityana District. I am from the Democratic Party.

Maybe, I have not been seeing her, but today I have seen her from the right angle. Mine is about the amount of money which was granted to this country; $630 million intended to move power to all the villages in this country. In Mityana District - I will talk about my constituency specifically - If there is power, it is there for one or two days, especially in the areas of Ssekanyonyi and Mpirigwa. However, in other areas, there is no power at all. The ministry came, surveyed, and left. They left documents and told us that they were coming back in a very short time so that they could sort out the problem but they have never appeared. As I am speaking now, the power in Ssekanyonyi has been off for a week. This is the power that people use to do business because they have coffee haulers, other machines, including saloons -

I designate the following Members on the Committee on Information, Communication Technology and National Guidance: 1. Hon. Helen Nakimuli of Kalangala District; 2. Hon. Joyce Ntwaatwa Bagala of Mityana District; 3. Hon. Bashir Mbaziira Kazibwe of Kawempe Division South; 4. David Sserukenya of Makindye- Ssabagabo Municipality; and 5. Hon. Okin P.P Ojara of Chua West County. Madam Speaker – [ Mr Nsibambi rose ]

11364 DESIGNATION OF MEMBERS TO COMMITTEES OF PARLIAMENT Implementation is one of those accountability committees that are chaired by Members from the Opposition. The Hon. Dr Abed Bwanika of Kimaanya–Kabonera Division has been designated as the Chairperson. He will be ably deputised by Hon. Joyce Bagala Ntwatwa of Mityana District. Others designated are the following: 1. Hon. Betty Nambooze Bakireke, Mukono Municipality, although she has requested to be shifted, which may come later. I may withdraw her –

11040 SECTORAL COMMITTEE REPORT (iii) The MoLG and MoFPED should ensure that all the parishes receive the funds as required by the PDM policy. TOR 2 Eligibility of the various categories of beneficiaries of the PDM Fund Madam Speaker, in the interest of time, I will take you to page 10 which gives details on the status. The subregions reported that vetting committees and SACCO leaders have ensured that there is proportional access for the different groups. However, contrary to guidelines, some government employees and their families as well as richer persons were benefiting from PDM funds. This was reported in Buganda and Lango subregions. There were allegations of a ghost SACCO set up to benefit ineligible persons in Okwongo Town Council in Otuke District, where the beneficiaries were family members of the CDO and other district officials. In addition, a one Janet Akullu from the same district was known to be someone who was well-off owning a storeyed building, therefore, not part of those who were meant to benefit from this programme. Once reported, the disbursement of Shs 434 million was put on halt, and investigation proceeded, which helped in saving Government from losing the said amount to ghost beneficiaries. In Kole District, irregularities in payments to beneficiaries of Ogwangacuma SACCO were noted, with cases of suspected unauthorised withdrawals from the account. On examination of the SACCO account, discrepancies were noted in the bank statement of the SACCO account in Postbank. In response, Postbank explained that the discrepancies arose from erroneous export of data into Excel by one of their officers. On the issue of equity in the PDM implementation across the regions- with the same amount of funds to be given to all parishes across the country, stakeholders have raised a concern about coverage of PDM in areas with big parishes that have many villages, households and enterprise groups. Some of the examples cited include Koboko North, Gulu City, Wakiso, Mayuge and Kaliro districts. On the other hand, the Ministry of Local Governments had not disbursed any funds for Kampala City, due to the uniqueness of the city setting. The Ministry is, therefore, redesigning the programme for Kampala accordingly. On the aspect of adherence to quotas for special interest groups, The PDM guidelines provide for mandatory quotas for disbursement of the funds. The distribution is supposed to be 30 per cent for youth, 30 per cent for women, 10 per cent for the elderly and 10 per cent for persons with disabilities (PWDs). According, to the Ministry of Local Governments the quota system has been emphasised and is being realised, with women receiving the bulk of the money because they are found in all categories; that is women, youth, elderly and PWDs. All subregions indicated that the criteria were not being fully met, especially in regard to the elderly and PWDs. In some cases, the number of special interest groups in the enterprises were very low. For example, in Podo Parish, Koboko District, PWDs refused to get the money for fear of failure to repay, that is according to the regional report. Gender issues were also noted in some areas where women were denied funds unless a spouse guaranteed them. Mityana District had reports of sexual harassment hindering women from full participation in PDM. Committee observations The Committee observed the following: i. None of the sub-regions was able to present detailed data indicating the categories of beneficiaries from which the

11041 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 22 NOVEMBER 2023 committee would have deduced whether the quotas were adhered to. ii. Defining the urban poor in cities like Kampala and Lira is a challenge. iii. Selecting beneficiaries in areas with big parishes is difficult, causes conflict and leaves out many potential beneficiaries. For example, Kasubi Ward in Gulu City has a population of about 39,000 people with over 50 per cent of those in the subsistence economy. iv. There were allegations of sexual harassment in Mityana District and reported gender discrimination in some regions, although the details of those allegations were not provided as required. v. The Committee was not satisfied with the explanations given by Postbank Ltd in regard to the discrepancies in the bank statement of Ogwangacuma SACCO in Kole district. Committee Recommendations The committee recommends that: (i) The PDM secretariat should have a system to monitor adherence to guidelines, especially on the implementation of the quotas and report on this issue, with statistics. (ii) Put in place a transparent selection process, combined with effective oversight to ensure that the intended beneficiaries receive the funds. (iii) Review the practicability of the quotas for the special interest groups due to its limited implementation, especially for the elderly, some of whom have no interest in enterprise development. (iv) The allocation criteria for Parish Revolving Fund needs to consider factors such as the population of the parish, poverty levels in the regions and remoteness, among other factors that make some areas more vulnerable than others. (v) Create a safe and respectful environment and institute clear protocols for reporting and addressing incidents of discrimination and sexual harassment. Other discriminatory practices should be reported and acted upon. (vi) Operationalise or establish a national call centre for reporting incidences/ cases related to PDM implementation. (vii) The police should investigate the alleged cases of sexual harassment as reported in Mityana District. (viii) The police should carry out an investigation into the irregularities in the bank statements of Ogwangacuma PDM SACCO to establish the truth. TOR 3 Effectiveness of Utilisation of disbursed funds by PDM. This is on the last paragraph of page 13. The subregions gave varied reports about how the funds so far disbursed were being utilised. West Nile, for example, reported that most beneficiaries have put the funds to the intended use, although some beneficiaries used the money to buy household items with the hope of replacing the money from the activities later. West Nile Subregion reported that enterprise groups have been formed in all the parishes and are engaging in agricultural activities, which are doing well. Common enterprises were food and cash crops, goat keeping, poultry, piggery; tree farming and apiculture. Group members who received PDM funds have invested the funds in farming and the crops are doing well, especially those who specialise in cassava growing. However, in some districts and parishes, for example, in Koboko District, heavy rains and hailstorm destroyed crops. But in some cases, the timing

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to support the motion for consideration and approval of this report on the PDM. However, as you know, all of us are in a celebratory mood; we are celebrating the coming of twins. Therefore, I take this opportunity to congratulate you most heartily upon attaining the blessed and most important title of Nnalongo . (Applause) The report is very good and useful. However, I note some gaps. Some points need special treatment because of the inherent dangers. Due to time constraints, I beg to focus on two. The first one is on handling gender issues. There is mention of gender issues, but there is no detailed analysis of these issues, and yet if these are not adequately handled, we may get a lot of problems. The second point is handling of elderly persons and people with disabilities. There is an insinuation that older persons and people with disabilities are not interested in this important programme, and yet the reality is different. What is missing is mobilisation and sensitisation. Making reference to page 12, the second paragraph reads as follows; “Gender issues were noted in some areas where women were denied funds unless a spouse guaranteed them. Mityana District had reports of sexual harassment, hindering women from full participation in the PDM.” Madam Speaker, I have read the recommendations in relation to this serious matter. I am of the view that no sufficient efforts have been made to address the question of gender and sexual harassment. First of all, I wish the committee had condemned in the strongest possible terms, this gender- based discrimination and sexual harassment. As Members of Parliament, we must condemn these evils whether it is in Mityana or other districts, we must condemn this in the strongest terms possible. Madam Speaker, we need to have a detailed analysis of gender arising issues. Once the issues arose from the implementation of the PDM, how does it impact on women? Having done a detailed and comprehensive analysis, we can propose what to be done. Therefore, I beg this august House to urge Government together with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development to work together and carry out a detailed analysis of the arose gender issues in the implementation of the PDM. By carrying out a detailed, comprehensive analysis and identifying the rise of gender issues and come up with solutions to mitigate these challenges. If we are not able to address these issues, there is no way PDM can succeed. Secondly, they mentioned sexual harassment somewhere in Zana, but we do not see the recommendation to the effect that these cases should be investigated and proper action taken. Action should be taken against perpetrators of this Act. We should not just say there was sexual harassment in Mityana and we forget to point out that whoever is involved should be investigated and punished. My last point is on page 11 and I would like to quote: “Adherence to quotas for special interest groups”. There is a paragraph, which reads as follows and it worries me. It says, “All subregions indicated that the criteria were not fully met, especially in regard to the elderly and PWDs. In some cases, the number of special interest groups in the enterprise were few. They also pointed it out and I quote. For example, in Podo Parish in Koboko District, PWDs refused to get the money for fear of failure to repay.” You have said that people refused to get the money for fear of failure to repay, but you have not told us why they are scared. What did you do to address their fears?

Thank you, Mr Speaker. The matter I am raising concerns a disaster that happened in Nakibanga Ward, Mityana Municipality in Mityana District. Three schools - two of them are Government- aided schools and one is a private school. These schools have been razed by the heavy rains and hailstorms as well as Lulagala Health Centre III and the maternity ward. Actually, when this happened, there was a pregnant woman in labour. She managed to run out of the building and gave birth shortly after, which I think was due to fear. However, there also other 85 houses have been destroyed by the heavy rains, including hundreds of acres of crops. My prayer to the Disaster Preparedness and Management Office in the Office of the Prime Minister is to help these people. Mr Speaker, like I reported earlier to you, there is an issue where when Members of Parliament raise matters of urgency regarding disaster, but

The moment the boat in which Hon. Nakaziba Suzan and her team were traveling docked at Kyanja Landing Site, they all jumped out chanting NUP slogans as they moved towards the site, where a few people had started gathering. Hon. Nakaziba was requested to board the boat and abandon the assembly that she had started organising but she refused. Instead, she continued encouraging people to gather and move towards the venue of the unauthorised meeting. This prompted officers to use tear gas to disperse the crowd but Hon. Nakaziba continued advancing towards the venue. A team of officers stopped the people from moving forward but Hon. Nakaziba and her team refused as they attempted to fight the officers. Six of her team members were arrested. These are; Onyango Gad, Opondo Daniel, Matovu Stephen, Kalumba Ronald, Ssentamu Henry, and Ouma Gilbert. That is what I can report about Buvuma. Mityana On 30 March 2023, Mityana District planned to hold Women’s Day celebrations at Butayunja Subcounty Headquarters. However, due to political differences in the district, a rift emerged between the two parallel camps. As a result, the Mityana District Chairman, Mr Mugisha Patrick and Hon. Joyce Bagala, the Woman Member of Parliament of Mityana District and members of the district women

Just for the sake of it, I appreciate the report. I will start with Mityana. I am glad that her report is just two paragraphs. Madam Speaker, you have asked us to share with you copies of the notifications we sent the police. I gave a notification to the IGP, and shared the same with the DPC and the District Chairperson. I have all the copies of correspondences sent out to Mityana District Executive, the RDC and the DPC. I have read the report of the Prime Minister. She says, “However, due to political differences in the district, a rift emerged between two parallel camps. As a result, the Mityana District Chairperson, Mr Patrick Mugisha, Hon. Joyce Bagala, the Woman MP and members of the District Women Council Committee all belonging to different camps…” I would like to know, which camps she is talking about. The good thing is you have guided that for all Women’s Day celebrations, the Woman MP is supposed to be the guest of honour. She is saying in the report that a disagreement arose from failing to agree on who the guest of honour would be yet I am the Woman Member of Parliament. Let me also say this. In Mityana, the district executive communicated the venue for the function and what was going to happen there. However, the RDC - and that is why I am very disappointed because in the report, they mention that among the parties involved were RDCs. I did not read anything in the report where the Prime Minister talked about the RDCS yet in Mityana District, the RDC said he was deployed to ensure that Hon. Joyce Bagala is removed. I am thinking that if you want to remove Bagala, you should wait for 2026, not now when I am still a Member of Parliament. I will also add this because the Minister for the Presidency is here. In the petition, we wrote to you, Madam Speaker, we requested that the Minister for the Presidency comes here and explains the role of RDCS in this chaos - (Applause) - because they say they are the leaders in these districts. In my own situation, the RDC, Mr Africano Aharikundira, went ahead and said, “You see, oyo Bagala, I can slap charges of treason against her and that will finish her.” Wasn’t –

Mr Speaker, I acknowledge the report of the honourable minister. However, I would like to say that his orders are appreciated but he should understand that orders on actions illegally done really do not matter; an illegality with or without an order is an illegality. We wait for action on the officers that manhandled these honourable Members of Parliament. Mr Speaker, for the record, the Members are 11 and I want this to be on record so that when we are looking for culprits, they know the victims are known: i. Hon. Joan Namutaawe, Woman MP of Masaka District; ii. Hon. Betty Ethel Naluyima, Woman MP of Wakiso District; iii. Hon. Juliet Kakande Nakabuye, Woman MP of Masaka City; iv. Hon. Manjeri Kyebakutika Woman MP of Jinja City and Deputy Opposition Chief Whip; v. Hon. Nyakato Asinansi, Woman MP of Hoima City; vi. Hon. Joyce Bagala Ntwatwa, Woman MP of Mityana District; vii. Hon. Florence Kabugho, Woman MP of Kasese; viii. Hon. Stella Isodo Apolot, Woman MP Ngora District; ix. Hon. Helen Nakimuli, Woman MP of Kalangala District; x. Hon. Hanifa Nabukeera Woman MP of Mukono District; and xi. Hon. Joan Acom Alobo, Woman MP Soroti City. Mr Speaker, this comes against the backdrop of what you explained in your opening statements that honourable members had lodged a petition to the Speaker over this mistreatment. Mr Speaker, they logged the complaint in their own right. That complaint is not a legal battle, but a public demonstration of their dissatisfaction. SUPPLEMENTARY RECURRENT EXPENDITURE FOR FY 2022/2023

Honourable members, in the VIP Gallery this afternoon, we have Bishop William Tomusange from Joy Christian Centre Churches in Mityana District. Thank you for joining us. Can you take us through your areas of dissent?

Go to page 92, Mityana District, mention the accounting officers responsible. Go to Butambala -

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Vote 568, Mityana District Local Government, which is unqualified opinion and the Accounting Officer at that time or for the financial year under review is Mr Musingye Edward and the Human Resource Officer is Mr Samuel Sekatte.

The Accounting Officer for Butambala - I would like to make a correction, Madam Speaker. For Mityana District Local Government, the Accounting Officer is Mr Emmanuel Ofwono and the Principal Human Resource Officer is Mr Hussein Mukiibi while for Butambala District Local Government, he is the one I mentioned before; Mr Edward Musingye and the Principal Human Resource Officer, Mr Samuel Sekate. Madam Speaker, I would request Members to go through the recommendations including reprimand, recovery funds and other suggestions that we provided. Madam Speaker, based on your advice, I will request that we move to the next entity, Apac District Local Government. For Apac District Local Government, Vote 502 had unqualified opinions and they are very serious issues that I needed to go through, with your permission. But if -

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, for the opportunity and advice. Indeed, the committee has been able to conclusively handle all the entities as reported by the Auditor-General. We will be able to provide all the other reports by next week. I take your advice. Before I present this report, permit me to lay on the Table minutes of the committee meetings and a copy of the report. Madam Speaker, just as you guided - and for purposes of saving time - on the 24 th of August this year, I presented a report of the committee, covering 14 entities. Today, permit me to present this report, which covers the audit queries contained in the report of the Auditor- General for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 for the following local governments; Apac District Local Government, Nansana Municipal Council, Makindye-Ssabagabo Municipal Council, Kira Municipal Council, Mityana District Local Government and Butambala District Local Government. To save time, from page one – this gives the introductory part and background to the report I am going to present. I request that you allow me not to spend a lot of time here and instead move to cross-cutting issues. On page 8, where we have general and cross- cutting audit queries, I refer honourable colleagues to the previous report that I gave – as I stated – on the 24 th of August, where we gave details of those cross-cutting audit queries and issues covering those entities. It would be a repetition if I run through the cross-cutting issues. If that permission is granted, Madam Speaker, I now request that you allow me to go to the specific local government entities. I request Members to go to page 28.

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I am making a response to the matter of national importance, which was raised by Hon. Joyce Bagala, the Woman Member of Parliament for Mityana District and the Shadow Minister of Information and Anti-Corruption. The matter has since gone to court and I am constrained to give information which may be interpreted as subjudice . However, with the leave of the Speaker, allow me to respond cautiously without injuring the court process. Mr Speaker, I would like to respond to a matter of national importance raised by Hon. Joyce Bagala with respect to the altercation that happened between Minister Ofwono Opondo, the Director of Uganda Media Centre, and Hon. Erias Lukwago, the Lord Mayor of Kampala during a television talk show, The Frontline, on NBS Television on the night of Thursday, July 28 this year. On that date, I was invited as a guest on The Frontline talk show together with Hon. Erias Lukwago to join regular panelists: Mr Ofwono Opondo and Hon. Winfred Kiiza, former Leader of the Opposition. The talk show commenced normally at 10.00 p.m. –
