Gilbert Olanya, MP Kilak South County Hon. Gilbert Olanya made an oral submission as follows: a) That the previous conduct of Hon.

Okot and appealed to the committee to admit the evidence presented. 6.6 Hon. Silwany Solomon, MP Bukooli County Central. He submitted; a) That Hon.

Then you have, in cities - for example, in Gulu City, the forests you are talking about are not there; it is high-rise buildings. Instead of lying to ourselves, why don’t we be honest and say that where we have no forests, we come in, we realign, and then we stop. We need to stop lying to ourselves that we have a forest in Gulu when we do not have it; it is only high-rise buildings constructed with plans approved by Government.

2396 2397 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2022 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT The committee discovered that in Gulu City, the local leaders/ politicians, such as councillors that were meant to supervise and provide oversight, took over and abused the process by registering their relatives and themselves as beneficiaries. In situations where the local councils rendered support through identification and registration of beneficiaries, these lists were put aside during data entry and replaced with other beneficiaries. When the committee interrogated further, it was discovered that over 10 councillors, the speaker and former LC III chairperson of Layibi Division, for example, registered and benefited from the fund. Arua City and Kitgum Municipality had almost similar cases of abuse of the process by administrators. In Mbale, some city council staff were registered and benefited. The Lord Mayor Kampala Capital City Authority revealed to the committee that in Kampala, the DISOs abused the process by registering beneficiaries along party lines. The committee further noted that in some cases, the compilation of the list was left to chairpersons of associations of the different trade categories, in total disregard of the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, instructing that the compilation be carried out using existing administrative records. In Tororo Municipality, for example, the chairpersons of different trade categories took advantage of this loophole by registering beneficiaries along political party and social relation lines. There were also allegations of extortion by the chairperson of the boda boda association in Tororo Municipality, who was alleged to have been asking beneficiaries to part with Shs 15,000 to be registered. Relatedly, in Fort Portal City, some town agents were also accused of asking for between Shs 30,000 and Shs 40,000 before one was registered or their national ID would be retained until the money would be cleared. Recommendations 1. The committee recommends that the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development holds accountable all Town Clerks who negated on their roles and responsibilities during this exercise by delegating their functions without proper supervision, as this amounted to neglect of duty. Additionally, all officers responsible for the abuse of this exercise by registering themselves in disregard of the vulnerable, be reprimanded. 2. The committee further recommends that the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social development should ensure that administrative records like tax registers in all cities, municipalities as well as other administrative units are updated by registering all formal and informal businesses. This would ease identification and verification of beneficiaries of such an exercise in the future. Term of reference No.2: Ascertain the criteria used to select and identify the beneficiaries According to the National Social Protection Policy, 2005, vulnerability is defined as “limited ability to manage risks or cope with shocks that may lead to undignified lives”. While appearing before the committee, the Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development submitted that the Cabinet defined the vulnerable in the context of the lockdown to mean “those who were engaged in employment at the time of COVID-19 lockdown and depended on daily earnings, which were disrupted”. The committee notes that there was no standard selection formula used in selecting beneficiaries in the targeted areas. In most of the cities and municipalities, the principle of “first come, first served” was applied. As a result, many categories of would-be beneficiaries were left out and for those who benefited, resources were not equitably distributed amongst the categories. For example, more people 3. We met with the town clerks, city/ municipal mayors, RCC/RDCs and other stakeholders in the following locations: a) Soroti City, Mbale City, Arua City, Gulu City, Lira City, Fort Portal City, Hoima City, Mbarara City and Masaka City. b) Tororo Municipality, Masindi Municipality, Ntungamo Municipality, Kumi Municipality and Kitgum Municipality. i) The committee also carried out on- spot visits and verification at a number of boda boda stages, taxi parks, street vendors and special hire operators to try and ascertain the terms of reference. ii) We analysed documents submitted by the Rt Hon. Prime Minister, the town clerks of municipalities/cities, KCCA Lord Mayor and other stakeholders that the committee interacted with. iii) The committee also carried out random telephone calls, which were made to the selected beneficiaries from the list provided by the Rt Hon. Prime Minister. Whereas, the committee was desirous of visiting all cities and municipalities that received the COVID-19 relief fund, it could only afford to visit the selected few due to time and budgetary constraints. Observations Madam Speaker, the committee was informed that the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development approved the COVID-19 emergency fund, amounting to Shs 53.5 billion to cover all 501,107 targeted beneficiaries. Out of these numbers, a total of Shs 2.854 billion was spent on administrative costs and Shs 50.6 billion was transferred to the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development account in Post Bank to facilitate direct transfers to the chosen beneficiaries. During the meeting with the committee, Post Bank informed the meeting that the bank had since received 488,272 total transaction instructions from the Ministry of Gender and successfully processed 487,307. Payments had since closed, according to the Ministry of Gender, with a balance of about Shs 1.43 billion lying on its account. Term of reference 1: Establish who compiled the lists of beneficiaries in the different locations. The committee observed that COVID-19 and its resultant effects, as occasioned by the lockdown, needed to be treated as a disaster and, therefore, it was wrong for the Government not to involve the Ministry of Relief, Disaster Preparedness and Refugees Management in its response, given its rich expertise in personnel and structures down to the local Governments. Although the town clerks were supposed to be in charge of compilation of the list of beneficiaries as stipulated in the guidelines, the committee noted that this was done mostly through delegation. In Soroti, Arua, Hoima, Mbarara and Fort Portal cities, for example, the town clerks were newly posted and therefore, delegated their deputies to undertake the exercise. This was, however, done with little, if any, supervision. The committee observed that the delegation of this responsibility without sufficient supervision, made the exercise susceptible to abuse, as the data collected by those delegated was greatly manipulated. Many would-be beneficiaries were left out, especially private school teachers and restaurant workers, as the committee found out in almost all locations visited. In Fort Portal City, the deputy town clerk monopolised the whole exercise. In Arua, most of the data entry clerks that carried out the exercise were volunteers/interns who took advantage and registered themselves and other persons in the different categories.

Read the full speech, word for word
2398 2399 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA WEDNESDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2022 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT As noted earlier, in most locations visited by the committee, this exercise was marred by irregularities. Officials who were assigned the responsibility to carry out the exercise negated on their duties. There was also poor co-ordination between the offices responsible and the grassroot structures as such as GISOs, DISOs, RCCs/RDCs, LCI and town agents in the supervision and verification of the beneficiaries, which led to abuse of the process. Whereas in Masaka and Lira cities, the RCCs actively participated in the exercise, in Ntungamo Municipality and Mbarara City, the elected leaders were not involved at all. In Mbale City, the Office of RCC was denied the opportunity to verify the beneficiaries in the Office of the Town Clerk. As such, about 1,500 persons were verified out of the over 9,000 that benefited. In Arua city, the RCC and the Mayor only got to receive a report on the exercise while meeting the committee. There was no structural framework involving all leaders to ensure a co-ordinated execution. This led to people, who were not intended to benefit, taking part of the fund. It is worth noting that a few random telephone calls made by the committee to the beneficiaries revealed that some persons did not receive payments whereas their names are captured as having received relief and in the list provided. The committee could not, however, establish the accuracy of such assertions as the payments were made privately through their telephones and they could have deleted the confirmation messages. A one Ssewankambo Bashir Mbale captured in the list as having been paid under the bus/taxi conductor category denied having received the money when the committee called him. A one Oloya Geoffrey from Gulu purported to have been the first beneficiary of the relief fund under the boda-boda category could not be traced. When the committee consulted the boda-boda Association in Gulu, they denied him being a member and alleged that the Oloya in question is, in fact, a builder. While interacting with the committee, the Gulu City officials informed the meeting that their efforts to reach out to Oloya were futile. The committee noted that not all persons registered received the money due to various reasons, such as disparities in the names registered vis-à-vis those that appear in their NIN, using one’s NIN to register many telephone numbers and incomplete information, among others. The Committee further noted that there was an option in the guidelines to pay persons who qualified and were in possession of NIN, but had no telephones through the bank post. However, many would-be beneficiaries with these cases were ignored and replaced hence leaving out a big number. Recommendations 1. The Ministry of Gender considers verifying and giving relief to the vulnerable who had already been identified within the quota range but were left out due to errors in the information. This should be done before the end of October 2021; and 2. In future, systems designed for this kind of exercise should cater for vulnerable persons without phones and persons with disability. Term of reference number five was on how much money the beneficiaries received. We have indicated the figures and the committee recommends that should such an intervention be necessary in the future, the rates should be based on the current cost of living. We did observe before the recommendation on how we arrive at that conclusion. Term of reference number six was to establish the roles played by the different stakeholders. We have examined the same at page 17 and came to the conclusion that the committee recommends that should such an exercise be necessary in the future, elected leaders should be involved from the onset to give it ownership. benefited under the boda boda category than food vendors, salonists and car washers. In Mbale, the committee noted that the number of support staff who benefited in private schools was more than the teachers in those schools, which is not logical. In Tororo, a total number of 1,402 slum residents benefited, representing 37 per cent of the entire threshold, as compared to three vehicle loaders. In Soroti, the committee interacted with Mr Saleh Babu Opwonya, the Chairperson Teso Coach Stage, who intimated that out of the 75 members he registered, none of them received relief. Meanwhile, his counterpart, Mr Abdu Mugisha, the Gateway Bus Company chairperson, revealed that out of the 56 members he registered, 48 benefited. In Fort Portal, at Kampala-Kyenjojo Taxi Stage, 60 members were registered and on Kampala Road Boda Boda Stage, 132 members were registered but none of them received relief. These inequities meant that certain categories benefited more to the disadvantage of others. Suffice to note that the Government was able to set thresholds for beneficiaries in all the cities/ municipalities but did not consider setting out a workable formula to be used to equitably share the quotas. The committee noted that for success to be achieved in Lira City, identification was done based on the area of operation and business location for each category. Leadership structures for each category also supported the registration and verification process. Consequently, internal structures were put in place where the compiled lists were first submitted to the DISOs’ office and both physical verification and phone call verification was done to ascertain authenticity of the submitted lists. Once approved, the list would be submitted back to the Town Clerk for data entry. Other cities and municipalities did not fully verify their lists. Cognisant of the directive of the ministry to display the lists generated in public places within urban areas for purposes of updating and verification, with supervision of warden administrators and support of village health teams, the committee noted that across all the cities and municipalities, this directive was defied. This was attributed to limited time, technicalities in the online system, bulk and sensitivity of information. In the committee’s view, the display was avoided as it would expose the irregularities and abuse of the process. Nonetheless, if a display was to be done, raw data would have been the one to be displayed as and when the lists would come through. The committee recommends, therefore, that; 1. The Ministry of Local Government should, in liaison with UBOS, support the local government administrative units to set up a more robust database for future use. 2. In future, if such an activity reoccurs, the Ministry of Local Government should ensure that Town Clerks strictly adhere to the set guidelines. Term of reference No.3: Verify the list of people who received the money Madam Speaker, the observations here are contained on pages 12 to 13. I would wish to proceed directly to the recommendations, following the observations. The committee recommends that the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development should consider giving relief to residents of Ayivu Division and Northern Division of Arua and Fort Portal cities, respectively. This flows from the observations that there were no benefits to them. Term of reference No.4: Verify and establish whether the intended beneficiaries actually received the money.

Thank you so much, hon. Medard Sseggona, the chairperson of PAC for the elaborate report. We are in this House as representatives of the people, so we must do the right thing. Honourable members, before I open the debate, I would like to make a few observations from the chairpersons’ communication. Looking at the report of the Joint Public Accounts, Local Government and Central, there was no involvement of the area Members of Parliament. When giving out the money - we are the representatives of these people, why don’t they involve us? How can you get clout from your members? Even if you took only Shs 100,000 to a person, even if you are involved in identification, it will have created you political mileage. None involvement of the political leaders was very wrong when giving out this money and that was bad. (Applause) We have always said that if you are going to my constituency or going to my district or you are doing anything, please involve the political leaders; we are the voice of the voiceless. Therefore, we must be the ones to speak for our people. (Applause) There is that problem that we are not involved in the exercise. However, be it as it may be, there should be no abdication of our oversight duty. We need to make sure that our oversight duty is being done. I also know that there was some abuse of office by different authorities; different people abused their offices and did not do the right thing. In some municipalities and town councils, I remember some people were even arrested but I do not know what took place after that. As a recommendation from the committee, the Auditor-General must take that up and action must be taken on those people who abuse their offices. Lastly, in the implementation of such important programmes, the two-line ministries should be involved. For example, the Ministry of Relief and Disaster Preparedness; that was relief, there was a disaster. We needed to involve the Ministry of Relief and Disaster Preparedness because they have the technical expertise on The committee encourages elected leaders to perform their oversight roles and mandate on all projects in their jurisdictions, whether invited to do so or not. This will promote an accountable and transparent society. Term of reference number seven. Madam Speaker, this was to deal with any other matter incidental to and connected with the above. Food hand-outs versus cash payments The committee noted that in a similar effort to ease the effects of the pandemic in the first lockdown, Government provided food hand- outs to the vulnerable. It was therefore, prudent for the committee to find out whether the decision by Government to give out cash relief as opposed to food items was a better choice. There was an overwhelming preference for cash relief in most of the locations the committee visited, with the justification that it preserves the dignity of the vulnerable, eliminates middlemen and enables consumer choice. The committee recommends that going forward, Government should address the challenges identified with giving out cash relief, should it consider such an intervention necessary. Facilitation for data entry clerks The committee noted that Government provided Shs 4 million to every municipality and division within cities to facilitate the exercise, including but not limited to fuel costs and allowances for data entry clerks. At the time of the committee’s visit, however, some of the officials had not received this facilitation due to the bureaucratic challenges associated with vote change and staff structuring now that they had become cities. As a matter of fact, many civil servants including town clerks in the new administrative units, had not received their salaries. The committee recommends that Government expedites the process of operationalising the new administrative units to enable them fully function. Multiple payments In a circular provided by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, showed that only one person per household was supposed to be registered in their relief fund. The committee noted abuse across the locations visited. In Fort Portal City and Ntungamo Municipality, for instance, there were cases of husband and wife registering under the same household and benefiting; some, even outside the categories required. In Masindi, several people had similar names and NINs, but altered the case form, one in the upper case and the other in the lower case. This clearly shows that the NIN was manipulated by the users. Other town councils/urban areas The committee noted that the action by Government to provide relief to only the vulnerable in cities and municipalities was segregative as the lockdown occasioned by Government was countrywide. Curfew hours were being implemented strictly across the country, including town councils and urban areas. This equally disrupted the citizens in those areas who were engaged in employment to continue with their daily earnings. General recommendations 1. The Attorney-General should carry out a forensic audit in the exercise and make appropriate recommendations; and 2. The Ministry of Gender should: i) Ensure that all officers who were fraudulently registered and received relief fund, refund the money; ii) Ensure the functionality of disaster management committees in all administrative units from which disaster policies can be developed and implemented;

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I represent Ruhaama East, which is one of the five constituencies in Ntungamo District. Madam Speaker, what you are saying is right. My constituency of Ruhaama East is the size of Butambala District. Butambala District receives Shs 1 billion and Ntungamo District, which has five constituencies – and is five times the size of Butambala – receives Shs 1 billion, too. We have been complaining over this issue and I remember that in March last year, we met the President. The President even called the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development over that issue – to provide more money to the bigger districts. I was in that meeting, in Ntungamo. He even put him on a loud speaker and we all listened. I do not know why the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development is not providing this money. We have suffered. Some of us lost elections because of that issue, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Madam Speaker, for following up on this matter.

The committee established that out of the 62 health centres III earmarked for new construction under the UgIFT II programme, only three: Kasangati Health Centre III, Kakindo Health Centre III in Kakumiro District, and Kikooma Health Centre III in Kyankwanzi District had been completed. Construction of 28 health centres III was still ongoing, while works for 31 health centres III had not yet started. See details in Annex III. The committee further established that the progress on implementation of various construction projects of new health centres III and upgrade of health centres II to III was largely characterised by defective works, prolonged delays in completion by contractors, including the UPDF Brigade, due to lack of supervision by local government leadership. All project- related decisions, including contract award and the procurement of equipment, were managed by the Central Government. Non-compliance with the standard project design The committee discovered that essential documentation regarding contracts and BOQs was absent, and the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development delayed releasing funds, all of which affected the effective execution of the projects. There were double payments to some of the contractors by the Ministry of Health arising from a change of policy to award contracts, particularly to the UPDF Engineering Brigade. A case in point is Shs 400 million for the completion of the Ober Health Centre IV in Lira City maternity ward and theatre that was channelled directly to the Ministry of Defence by the Ministry of Health, well aware of another running contract with BP Enterprises and Construction Company Limited. See the letter attached in Annex IV. Other specific examples of such construction and upgrade projects include Kachuru Health Centre III in Butebo District, Rushare Health Centre III and Ruhare Health Centre III in Mbarara District, Kichwamba Health Centre II in Mbarara City, Kyabakuza Health Centre II in Masaka City, and Kabbo Health Centre II and Gayaza Health Centre II Mubende District. The committee observed that whereas Parliament approved Shs 552.6 billion to address infrastructure gaps in local government countrywide, a significant number of subcounties and town councils across the country still do not have health centres III. No work had been done on 81 out of 124 health centres II earmarked for upgrade to health centre III. Similarly, 31 out of 62 planned new construction of health centres III in subcounties without any Government health centres III had not even started. The committee observed that the upgraded health centres II and the newly constructed health centres III were not fully functional, largely due to inadequate staffing. There was adverse mismanagement of contracts by the Ministry of Health that involved re- awarding of already running contracts to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Engineering Brigade in total violation of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets (PPDA) Act. There was a likelihood of fraud in the management and implementation of various Uganda Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers Program (UgIFT) projects across the country. The Government had not yet fulfilled its pledge of establishing health centres III in every sub- country across the country.

Read the full speech, word for word
16114 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT The Office of the Leader of the Opposition organised an oversight visit to Inspire Africa Coffee Factory in Ntungamo District. I undertook this oversight visit on 11 December 2024, together with the shadow ministers. The visit was in line with Section 6E (1) of the Administration of Parliament (Amendment) Act, 2005, which empowers the Leader of the Opposition to play the oversight role and keep the Government in check. During the Financial Year 2023/2024, the Government undertook to establish a tertiary hub for last-mile coffee value addition in Ntungamo District through the Science, Technology, and Innovation Secretariat in the Office of the President under a private partnership arrangement with the Coffee Investment Consortium Uganda and Inspire Africa Coffee, both privately registered entities. The construction of this coffee value addition facility began in October 2023 and had been projected to be completed by December 2024. We were told that the factory is expected to produce various coffee products including instant coffee, drip coffee, malt coffee, coffee energy drinks, as well as beauty cosmetics. However, since this strategic Government intervention was initiated, various stakeholders, as well as policymakers have expressed concerns with respect to the implementation arrangements. Some of these concerns include: (i) Rationale followed to establish this coffee value addition factory in Ntungamo; (ii) The selection criteria followed to procure the private investor; (iii) The reason behind the decision by the Government to support the building of a coffee factory in Ntungamo District, while not paying attention to other areas known to produce a lot of coffee in Uganda; (iv) Capital investment - the exact amount of money that the government of Uganda is injecting into this project, because that is not known yet. (v) Projected economic benefits in terms of the anticipated employment opportunities as well as export revenues. Therefore, the primary objective of this oversight visit was to further interrogate and verify all matters related to the above- mentioned concerns as elaborated briefly before. During the Financial Year 2023, the Government earmarked and allocated Shs 37 billion, which is about US$ 10 million in the national Budget to support coffee value chain development under a newly created Vote 167 in the Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat in the Office of the President. Also, according to the annual budget estimates of the Financial Year 2024/2025, an additional Shs 75 billion was provided for in the corrigenda to the budget and approved by Parliament to support coffee value addition initiatives. To date, a total of Shs 112 billion has been appropriated by Parliament towards support for coffee value-addition initiatives. Some of these initiatives include the promotion of Uganda coffee globally through coffee trade hubs and the establishment of a tertiary hub for last mile coffee value addition in Ntungamo District, implemented by Inspire Africa Coffee, which according to Mr Nelson Tugume, the proprietor, is at an estimated cost of US$ 122 million, that is about Shs 451 billion. It is important to note that these coffee value addition initiatives are not directly implemented by the Government, but rather through partnerships, such as the Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development that is chaired by Mr Odrek Rwabwogo, the Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Duties.

Read the full speech, word for word
16115 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA TUESDAY, 11 FEBRUARY 2025 There is also the Coffee Investment Consortium, a privately registered entity comprising about 21 coffee companies interested in promoting coffee production and providing value addition in the coffee value chain, and Inspire Africa Coffee, an affiliate of Inspire Africa Group, a human resource organisation initially established primarily to address the challenges of youth unemployment on the African continent. Government argues that the initiatives will significantly increase the country’s coffee export earnings through the export promotion of processed, ready-to-drink coffee instead of raw coffee beans. However, since the above- highlighted coffee value addition initiatives were earmarked and subsequently funded by the Government, various stakeholders as well as policymakers have expressed serious accountability, legal, and policy concerns with regard to the implementation arrangement of these initiatives. Therefore, it was paramount to further interrogate and verify all matters related to the implementation of these initiatives, to ascertain their feasibility and value for public funds in line with the existing legal and policy frameworks. Let me run through the areas of concern, Madam Speaker. (1) Funding and transparency queries In the financial year 2023/2024, the Government of Uganda allocated resources through the Science, Technology, and Innovation Secretariat under the Office of the President towards the establishment of a modern industrial coffee park in Rwashamire Town Council in Ntungamo District. We found that there is no memorandum of understanding between the Government of Uganda and this private entity. So, the manner in which money was extended to this entity is not clear. Madam Speaker, it is wrong for taxpayers’ money to be spent without any clearly defined binding relationship between the Government and any entity, and in this case, Inspire Africa Coffee, and no documentation whatsoever. The proprietor told us that there was a co- investment arrangement that was ongoing between the parties, that is the Government and them, but there was no clarity on whether this arrangement would result in a joint shareholding, a grant arrangement, or a bailout. We recommend, together with my colleagues, as follows: (i) The Government should come out clearly on the relationship that exists between Inspire Africa Coffee and the Government that warranted the disbursement of public funds to this private entity. (ii) Parliament should stop any further disbursements to this entity until a clear and rational memorandum of understanding is reached between the Government and this entity. (iii) The Government ought to come out with a clear procedure on how private entities can get Government support. Uganda has many young and innovative entrepreneurs who only lack funding. If the Government comes out clearly on the formalities, then more Ugandans could benefit as opposed to just a few. (2) Unfulfilled Government commitments. Uganda is currently the leading coffee exporter in Africa and the second largest coffee producer in Africa having exported 6.13 million bags in Financial Year 2023/2024, valued at over US$ 1.14 billion. In order to handle the value additional call, the Government stipulated under the National Development Plan NDP III that two modern industrial coffee factories would be established, one in Bugisu and another one in Buganda, because these are the highest coffee-growing regions in the country. These two factories were to be constructed by the end of June

Thank you, Madam Speaker. It has been about nine months since the Government put an animal quarantine because of Foot and Mouth Dis - ease, specifically in my constituency which is in Ntungamo district. So, the whole of Ntun - gamo District is under quarantine. I thank the Government for giving vaccines and they have vaccinated all the animals. I walked all over my constituency because people actually depend on animals. There is no Foot and Mouth Disease but the markets have been completely closed. People cannot sell their animals, yet they have to pay school fees. They literally depend on animals. May I know why these markets cannot be opened, yet people have vaccinated their animals? Secondly, Madam Speaker, we have been hit very badly by hailstorms, particularly Keina Ward, Rwentobo-Rwahi and other villages in my constituency. Actually, it swept away all the onions, which our people depend on mainly in a place called Rwahi – for those who know those areas. The roof at Keina Primary School, which is a government school, was swept off by the wind. May we get immediate help, if you can, Rt Hon. Prime Minister? Thank you.

In Ntungamo District, people lack mineral information and are unsure how to sell or lease land to investors, especially after lithium discovery. Investors bypass district officials and go straight to local councils, leaving residents confused. A minister in Kajara County guides investors, making it hard for local leaders to address issues.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise on a matter of national importance concerning lack of mineral information in Ntungamo District, where a number of minerals have been discovered, and lately, lithium, which is causing a lot of challenges. At the moment, people do not know how they should give out their land, either through a lease or selling it. They do not know how to deal with investors. At the moment, investors come and buy land the way they want and people do not know how much they are supposed to charge because they do not know whether they are leasing or selling their land. Secondly, these investors do not go through the district administration and political structures. They go directly to the local councils and therefore, the guidance the residents would get is not simple to attain. Another issue is that the guardian at the moment who is working in Kajara County, who is guiding investors, is Hon. Muruli Mukasa, who is a minister. Therefore, the local government leadership cannot confront the minister when they find challenges with the investors. My prayers. (Interjections) Prayer number one; the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development should give mineral information to the people of Ntungamo District and the entire country, because most of the people do not even know how those minerals look like, and they do not know how they are supposed to deal with investors when they come to acquire land. Furthermore, the minister who is down in Ntungamo, guiding our investors should create a situation where people can get information. Liaise with the minister in charge of minerals so that people can get all the required information and develop minerals without confronting citizens in a bad way. Thank you very much, Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, in the absence of the Minister in charge of Minerals, we are not competent enough to declare to the country that we have discovered some minerals in Ntungamo.

10739 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA TUESDAY, 24 OCTOBER 2023 Mr Speaker, I got a rare chance – I call it “rare” because there are few here who got it – to work closely with Hon. Kyemba. To make the record clear, I came to this Parliament in the Fifth Parliament, that is the National Resistance Council (NRC). (Applause) It was not the CA. Hon. “Mama Busia” says, I am the youngest. When I came to this Parliament, Mr Speaker, I was young and just from school. Therefore, I bring condolences from the National Resistances Council, the Sixth Parliament and myself to the family and the country. When I came to this Parliament, Ntungamo had just been elevated to district status and I had just finished school. People called me and I did not even know how Members were elected to Parliament. Some people told me, “It is this and that” and I ended up coming unopposed. When I came, it was through a by-election and people would normally escort you in. People usually mistake me for having come to the CA because I came around the same time. I was here for one-and-a-half-years and we went back for elections for the Sixth Parliament. When I was brought in, Hon. Kyemba was a minister. However, despite him being a minister and me being young – and I had never seen him - he was among the few people who walked me in to the Speaker. That is why I said I was honoured and I feel happy that I can now testify about his goodness. Mr Speaker, that experience tells me a lot about what I see around me. I travelled with Hon. Kyemba to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Conferences. He was a diplomat and a man of good etiquette. Honourable members, especially the men, you need to emulate him. As a gentleman, when you are moving with a woman in a bus or whatever, you do not sit before a woman sits. (Laughter) You need to be gentlemen. He was a very neat and smart man. You could read it in him when you sat with him at a table. Mr Speaker, I do not want people to misunderstand me but some people do not have etiquette. When you sit at a table to eat, you need to emulate this gentleman. He was a gentleman, diplomat, neat, great and a very clever man. I knew about Rotary through Hon. Kyemba. He was a very good Rotarian. He lived and moved like a Rotarian. You would find him with neat badges every time; he was decorated. At times I would ask, “Why don’t you give me one?” He would say, “Join Rotary.” He encouraged me to join Rotary although I never joined. (Laughter) Probably, in his memory, I should join Rotary. (Applause) Mr Speaker, I benefited from him being a Rotarian. He had got some donated items – I think they were supposed to be for a certain area in Busoga. However, because he used to take me as his child in Parliament, I convinced him and he gave me very good books, which had been donated, and I took them to Ntungamo. By then, I was representing Ntungamo District. We shall miss him but he has lived a good life. As Hon. Zijjan said, he was “Mr No Scandal”. I did not know him as a scandalous person. When we had just come, we formed the Young Parliamentary Group and the qualification would be that it was either your first time to be in Parliament or you were a young person. He did not qualify because he had been in Parliament longer. However, because he associated with the young Members of Parliament, Hon. Kyemba used to move with us and advise us. Hon. Mao is there to testify. That was in the Sixth Parliament. I therefore wish him a good rest. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you. (Applause)

Ngoma and Karambi Secondary Schools are not mentioned. Ntungamo District has 34 subcounties and a population of around 580,000 people. We need primary schools. A list of five primary schools was submitted requesting grant-aiding. None of them appears on the list.

Thank you. Honourable colleagues, I can see the Members looking at each other but Ntungamo District - sometimes, I know the Members of Parliament – is unique. It has around five to six districts in it if you are to talk of an average Ugandan district. This is a problem, which the Central Government needs to look at. Service delivery based on administrative units cannot be effective. We should consider other parameters. For example, Ntungamo District getting the same quota as Mitooma District - that is cheating the people of Ntungamo. That is why there is clamour all the time; districts give us this and that. Another example is Wakiso District. As the Government, you need to have a unique way of looking at them. About the issue of schools, honourable Minister of Education and Sports; you have heard the prayers.

Rt Hon. Prime Minister, in my constituency, there is a place called Kijojo through which Ntungamo-Mirama Hills Road passes. Whenever it rains, water flows directly from the hills and cuts off the road. Currently, there are piles of soil in the middle of the road due to blockage of the culverts. This is leading to accidents. In fact, one of the victims of such accidents is Stephen Kamugisha, who is currently admitted at Mulago National Referral Hospital.

6211 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA THURSDAY, 10 NOVEMBER 2022 teacher and staff recruited by the Government to run the school. The second one is: aware that Government policy does not support boarding seed secondary schools, is there any special way Nekemia Memorial Seed Secondary School in Buuvu, Kalangala District can be opened as a boarding seed secondary school, since it is meant to serve primary schools in Kachanga, Luramba, Kotobo and Bufumira, which are all in different islands. Madam Speaker, my response is, the Education Service Commission has finalised the recruitment of 4,805 teaching and support staff for seed secondary schools. Among these are 126 head teachers and 156 deputy head teachers. The ministry has already issued appointment letters awaiting posting instructions and deployment to the various seed secondary schools, including Nekemiah. It is true that the current scope of seed secondary schools do not have boarding facilities. This is in line with the USE School Policy. However, the ministry and Government have noted the need to have exceptions for districts located in Karamoja and the islands, where operation of day schools is very challenging. Assessment is on-going by the ministry engineers to ascertain that the cost needed to provide the above facilities are budgeted for in the medium term. Question No.7 came from Hon. Naome Kabasharira, Member of Parliament, Rushenyi County in Ntungamo District. Madam Speaker, the Member says that there is a constant outcry by truck drivers plying the Kampala-Masaka- Mbarara route over the mismanagement of the Lukaya and Mbarara weighbridges and alleged misconduct of the officers in charge. Truck drivers complain of harassment and extortion by some officers in those respective weighbridge stations. This unprofessional conduct of business by the officers manning those stations may cause financial loss to the Government as the money extorted from the drivers does not reach public coffers. Her prayers are that: 1. The relevant agencies streamline the operations of the weigh bridges across the country. 2. An investigation should be conducted on the two weighbridges to establish the extent of the problem and the errant officers be prosecuted. Madam Speaker, Mbarara and Lukaya fixed weighbridges are located along the Masaka- Mbarara Road and are used to regulate the overloading of trucks for purposes of protecting the road infrastructure from premature damage. The two weighbridges are managed by the Ministry of Works and Transport through the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA). The Government is in advanced stages of installing the first phase of a high speed weigh- in motion system at Mbarara, Magamaga and Luweero. The high speed weigh-in motion systems for other weighbridges including Lukaya will be installed in the subsequent phases. These systems will allow compliant transporters to move on the road without having to stop on the weighbridge. Data centralisation has been done for Mbarara, Lukaya, Luweero, Magamaga, Mubende and Mbale weighbridges. This increases visibility of weighing operations at each weigh station for monitoring purposes. Madam Speaker, I would like to inform this House that the matter reported by the honourable member in Rushenyi is being followed and those officers will be brought to book. Question number eight: Hon. Naboth Namanya, Member of Parliament of Rubabo in Rukungiri District says that Kahengye Water Project commenced in 2015 with a projection to provide a lasting solution to water shortages in the constituencies of Rubabo, Rujumbura, Rukungiri Municipality and the neighbouring areas of Mitooma District.
