KIKUUBE – Kikuube district local government has finally received a District Service Commission (DSC) after struggling for two years to recruit public servants.

This was after the district council appointed five nominees whose names were submitted to the Ministry of Public Service, after which only four were approved.

The successful members of the commission include; the committee Chairperson Rurihona Anakereti, Dan Matovu Atuhura, Evans Kasenene and Edward Mwesigwa Barigonzaki as members.

The four on Wednesday afternoon, took oath of office at a function presided over by the Hoima Grade 1 Magistrate, Winne Nankya Jatiko.

In 2019, the Kikuube interim district council entered an agreement with Kibaale district council to use the Kibaale district Service Commission to recruit staff.

However, in 2020, the Kikuube district Executive led by Francis Kazini suspended the services of Kibaale district Service Commission on allegations of corruption and biasness.

This saw the district returning Shs 500 million to the national treasury as unspent at the end of the 2020/2021 financial year and left several departments with inadequate staff following the suspension of recruitment as they waited for substantive service commission.

Speaking during the swearing-in function held at Kikuube district headquarters, the technical staff and political leaders all focused their speeches on the issue of integrity.

Andrew Milton, the Kikuube district Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) urged the commission to be patriotic and transparent as they carry out their duties to ensure that the district produces quality civil servants.

He noted that most people in the country have lost trust in the District Service Commission because of the increasing acts of selling jobs adding that this act is dangerous because it kills service delivery.

“You must do your work independently without influence peddling in order for you to deliver, I am here to implement the government policy and for me to achieve that, it is you people to give competent staff who are supposed to turn around and transform this district, so if you forward wrong staff, then I will not do much and the council will not do much,” he warned.

Amlan Tumusime, the Kikuube Resident District Commissioner (RDC) explained that the District Service Commission is sensitive because it is the basis of service delivery.

He asked the service commission to avoid corruption tendencies because it affects development and is a source of insecurity.

He adds that as a new district, they need to be different from their neighboring districts whose service commissions are being accused of selling jobs.

“We expect you to offer jobs to our people on merit and I want to ask you to stick to the oath that you have made today keeping in mind that when you violate it ,you will be held responsible,” he said adding that recruiting after receiving money from the applicant can result to recruitment of incompetent staff.

Peter Banura, the Kikuube LCV Chairman expressed excitement about the commission adding that the district is going to start recruiting staff starting with parish chiefs to end the challenge of staffing gaps in different departments.

He also asked the commission to do their best to avoid shaming the image of the district adding that they need the district to be a role model and challenged the members to be fair, God fearing, trustworthy and transparent as they serve the district.

The Chairman of the Service Commission, Rurihona Anakereti commended the district council for trusting them with the office and promised that the commission will be transparent and follow guidelines as they carry out their duties to ensure the development of the district.

He said that corruption will not be tolerated during their tenure and challenged the public with qualifications to get prepared to apply for the available opportunities.

UGANDA – The Registrar of Cooperative Societies in Uganda has set 31st December 2021 as the deadline for all cooperatives to have their Annual General Meetings (AGMs).

The directive comes at the heels of realization of a legal dilemma likely to come up, if cooperatives do not adhere to the legal requirement of holding Annual General Meetings.

In a letter to all the cooperatives, the Registrar of Cooperatives in the Ministry of Trade and Cooperatives, Robert Bariyo Barigye says, all cooperative societies with membership of up to 200 delegates should hold AGMs in strict observance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in consultation with the District Covid-19 Task forces, before November 30th 2021.

Barigye also directed that cooperative societies with membership beyond 200 should in consultation with the Covid Task forces endeavor to improvise and organize AGMs in a phased manner before the deadline of December 31 2021.

Speaking to theCooperator on phone, Barigye says, “Cooperatives have not sat for two consecutive financial years, so with the partial lifting of the lock down, they could use this window to hold their AGM.”

The directive follows President Museveni’s State of the Nation Address easing pressure on congregations with a limited number of 200 persons in strict observance of SOPs and consultation with District Task Forces.

“It is apparent that cooperative societies have not held their AGMs due to the prevailing Covid-19 situation, and the resultant lock-down since March 20th 2020,” The letter dated 23rd September 2021 reads in part.

The Constitution requires registered cooperative societies to hold AGMs not later than three months after the expiry of the financial year.

https://thecooperator.news/district-chairman-vows-to-revive-cooperatives/

The letter was sent to all chairpersons of cooperative societies countrywide and copied to District Commercial Officers to enable them facilitate and guide the same.

The AGM is the supreme body in which several critical decisions are taken including; reviewing audited books of accounts, election of new office bearers, presenting plans to members among others items.

OMORO – Dero-she capital, a local community-based organization (CBO) is helping more than 170 rural women in Amuru and Omoro districts to profitably engage in agriculture by extending farm credit to them.

Instead of cash, the organization gives farmers credit in form of services like ploughing and inputs or farm implements like seeds and hand hoes.

Innocent Piloya, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dero-she capital told theCooperator that most times, rural women have agribusiness ideas but lack support to implement them.

“What we do is lend them support like hire a tractor to plough land for them, give them seeds and hand hoes to engage in farming. We also help them look for market for the crops. We then recover the money after they have sold off their harvest,” Piloya said.

“Our organization does not give actual credit to the farmers because the money can end up being diverted elsewhere once received. Much as a farmer may want a hoe or seeds, they might have more urgent needs like transport or treatment so they could end up using the money for a different purpose,” she explained.

Piloya explained further that, before the farm credit is extended to the women, they are trained on good agronomic practices and business skills to help them transform from subsistence to commercial farming before they are given the farm credit.

https://thecooperator.news/banks-endorse-government-plans-to-take-idle-cash-on-dormant-accounts/

“We want the women to sustain their households by being food secure and also be able to earn an income to cater for other basic needs like medical care and school fees among others,” she said.

Piloya said they are targeting to reach 10,000 farmers in the next five years and that the long-term goal is to see more children especially girls enrolled in school.

“Research has shown that rural families who can’t afford food will focus on getting food as a priority and neglect education, while families that have food to last a whole year, have their children attending school,” she explained.

Grace Obol, a resident of Barogal village, Koro sub-county in Omoro district one of the beneficiaries says, “Dero-she capital was able to plough two acres of land on which I planted soya beans. The proceeds helped me to pay school fees for my children. In the past, I was using less land because of relying on hand hoes,” she said.

Obol says that unlike financial institutions that demand for collateral before being given a loan, Dero-she capital only asked her to contribute 50% of what was needed such as labor to benefit from the farm credit.

“Banks want collateral yet the land I use for farming is customarily owned. Clan leaders do not allow us women to use the land as collateral because they fear that the bank can take it away in case we default on the loan,” Obol said.

Dero-she capital also gave her quality seeds and trained her to plant soya beans in lines instead of broadcasting.

Obol has now urged the government to include support of oxen and ox-ploughs to farmers in their livelihood programs like Operation Wealth Creation (OWC).

Doreen Ajok, another farmer in Koro sub-county, Omoro district said apart from the quality seeds, she was also trained by Dero-she capital on how to make organic chemicals.

“I don’t have to buy pesticides because I can now make organic chemicals from locally available plants. They also trained us on how to make organic manure,” she said.

Ajok is however disappointed that the prices for soya beans dropped drastically last year making her to earn much less than she expected.

“I was expecting to earn at least Shs 2500 per kilogram of soya beans but I ended up selling each kilogram at Shs 900,” said Ajok who harvested 2 bags of soya beans.

However, Dero-she capital says, they are now working to build a store to bulk the produce so that farmers sell at better prices.

UGANDA – The government has issued stringent guidelines for all donor agencies and development partners operating in Uganda.

Through the Ministry of Finance, the government wants all donors and development partners to have uniformity in their operations with the country’s development plans and with full knowledge of government monitoring agencies.

In a circular letter signed by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Matia Kasaija, “All development partners should have jointly prepared country strategy papers with the government to ensure that the proposed support is in line with Uganda’s aspirations as enshrined in Vision 2040,” the letter reads in part.

It also stipulates that all agreements and contracts of development assistance should be signed off by the Minister for Finance, as a measure to avoid duplication of efforts.

This will also require all development assistance and projects to be implemented together with or in consultation with the relevant government departments to ensure sustainability of investments carried out.

“The above guideline applies to all programs to be implemented by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the private sector,” It stressed in part.

Reportedly, intended to streamline development assistance in the country, the guidelines compel all partners to seek for cabinet approval of their assistance and signed off by the Minister for Finance, with prior submission of all projects and programs for internal clearance.

The letter, which was also copied to the Embassies in Uganda, including the major donors like; Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Sweden further demands that all development assistance should be appropriated by Parliament including those whose accounts would be managed off the treasury single account.

Other Embassies copied include; Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Iceland, France, China, Japan, Italy, India, South Korea, and the European Union.

The Ministry of Finance has also provided a special reporting arrangement under the program-based budgeting system in the ministry to cater for funds off the treasury’s single account.

This would in-effect require that all funds provided by the development partners would be reported on for budgeting by the government.

The letter signed by the Minister for Finance Planning and Economic Development, Matia Kasaija also reports that the government has provided a Comprehensive Aid Management Platform where all support by the development partners are reported on and monitored; urging all players to use it to enable the government have a comprehensive approach to all development cooperation efforts.

The letter also compels all development partners to comply and adhere to the new guidelines to ensure transparency.

The letter was also sent to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Resident Representative, World Bank Country Manager, African Development Bank, Country Manager, and Arab Contractors.

Others on the receiving end include; JICA Offices in Kampala and the Economic and Commercial Counsellor, at the Chinese Embassy in Kampala.

The government has on a number of occasions clashed with Civil Society Organizations over what they referred to as illicit funding.

Early this year, Lawyer Nicolas Opio who is also the Director of Chapter Four, a human rights Organization was charged with money laundering after receiving funding from development partners overseas.

CSO’s and private businesses have always alleged that police and other security agencies raid their offices to hack into data regarding funding and other security objectives.

Those raided over the years include; Action Aid-Uganda, Human Rights Network, Unwanted Witness, Anti-Corruption Coalition, The Uhuru Institute for Social Development, Great Lakes Institute on Strategic Studies among others.

Bank accounts of some Organizations like Chapter Four, Action-Aid, GLISS among others were once frozen by the government pending investigations over allegations levelled on their funding and other irregularities.

GULU – More than 100 farmers from various farmer groups and cooperatives in Acholi sub-region have been trained on loan management skills by Post Bank Uganda.

The one-day training held at Boma Hotel in Gulu city, was aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and a savings culture among farmers.

Jimmy Ocen, the Manager in charge of lending at Post Bank Uganda, while addressing the farmers said, most farmers who borrow loans for farming instead divert the money to other things like buying land and building houses among others.

“Most times people get a loan and divert its purpose. We are trying to show them that you can actually get a loan and pay it back comfortably if you put it in the right purpose, if you choose a profitable enterprise.”

He said on several occasions, when they carry out monitoring visits of farmers who have borrowed loans to engage in farming, they find no activity on the ground.

The farmers were also encouraged to embrace insurance for their crops against natural disasters like floods, drought and hailstorms.

https://thecooperator.news/farmers-encouraged-to-take-up-agricultural-insurance/

“Agricultural insurance is very cheap at only 5%. The government even subsidizes it by paying 2.5%.

Simon Opiyo, the Chairperson Paicho Central Kal Growers Cooperative acknowledged that farmers indeed divert loan money to other projects hence leading to their failure.

He however said, that the training was timely and would help farmers increase their production.

Santa Abwot, a farmer from Amuru district said that they did not know about Agricultural insurance yet they have been suffering losses due to floods and drought.

In Gulu district alone, food crops worth Shs 2.6 billion was lost in hailstorms in three sub-counties of Bungatira, Awach and Pukony in the month of July 2021, according to a report from the district.

It’s estimated that 2, 215 acres of crops like maize, beans, cassava, millet, soy bean, ground nuts, potatoes, bananas and tree seedlings were destroyed in hailstorms.

In a request to the Office of the Prime Minister in charge of Emergency Assistance, Gulu Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Okaka Geoffrey stated that the crops would have yielded 2,745 tones if the hailstorms had not destroyed them.

ISINGIRO – The French government has offered Uganda a grant totaling 69M Euros (about Shs 286b) in a bid to extend water services in Isingiro district.

The funding to build a water project in Isingiro district was allocated through the French government’s agency Françoise de Development (AFD).

The money was received by the Uganda Finance Minister, Matia Kasaija and the French Ambassador to Uganda, Stephanie Rivoal and witnessed by the National Water Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) Executive Director, Engineer Silver Mugisha.

According to Mugisha, the funds are intended to construct water supply systems in 15 sub-counties and 8 Town Councils in Isingiro district.

He adds that the funding is a fulfilment of part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in 2019 between France and Uganda to improve water supply in Kampala and South Western Uganda.

Mugisha said that the project when completed, will address the water supply challenges in districts of Isingiro, Mbarara, Masaka and the surrounding areas.

“Congratulations to NWSC, this is a milestone and it should go a long way in addressing water stressed areas in Isingiro district,” says Mugisha.

The French Ambassador in his remarks said, AFD has committed more than 1billion Euros over the last 20 years with 200 Euros committed in 2018 alone in an effort to support Uganda’s sustainable and equitable development in water, sanitation, energy, environment and climate change, as well as strengthening the private sector.

Rivoal added that access to water and good sanitation is a major contribution to human development.

Speaking to Jeremiah Kamurari, the former Chairman Isingiro district, welcomed the project stressing that the district had never received any piped water in the area.

“All the other districts in Western Uganda have some water supplies either from national water or gravity but it has been only Isingiro where there is no single water supply scheme in the district,” Kamurari explained.

He is however worried that if the project is not monitored well, the money will be stolen by unscrupulous civil servants in the country.

“We have big worries always accompanied by bigger projects like this one. So, we expect that if there is no involvement of IGG, DPP and other related institutions, we are likely to have half of the money for the project swindled,” Kamurari emphasized.

He therefore appealed to the Inspector General of Government (IGG) to be part of the supervision such that, there is effective supervision to guarantee that the money will be put to proper use because of the rate of corruption that has ruined the country.

“Our call goes to the National Water and Sewerage Cooperation and Ministry of Water to ensure that there is constant supervision and monitoring to ensure that the money is put to its intended use. Even the local leaders in the area should be vigilant to ensure that this money is not squandered,” said Kamurari

According to Aaron Turahi, the current Chairman Isingiro district, the water project was contracted last month to BRL Ingeniere Company.

He appealed to the contractor to employ the locals so that they can also benefit from the project.

“We agreed that 70% should be our locals from Isingiro district who should be employed in non-technical works,” Turahi said.

https://thecooperator.news/cooperators-raise-alarm-over-bundibugyo-water-crisis/

He says the water project in the district is a fulfilment of the presidential pledge while he was last campaigning in Isingiro.

“This does not just come to us but it was the president who promised water to the people of Isingiro. And it will basically be used for irrigation, production and animal feeding where we shall no longer register death of people’s animals because of drought as you have always seen during the dry spell,” LC V Boss explained.

My role is to welcome each and every project that is coming in the district and to see that there must be a sustainability of that project, added Turahi.

He also encouraged proper monitoring for quality water project in the district.

“As a district we are involved and we shall ensure that the project is done successfully because we are the overall supervisors and monitors of the project in the district. And whoever comes here to do shoddy work, we shall deal with him because we are already served with bills of quantities,” Turahi said.

The water project in Isingiro will be implemented in line with Uganda’s vision 2040 which highlights access to clean piped water for all and the National Development Plan.

NWOYA – Telecommunication company, Huawei have donated assorted Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) to Nwoya district as it struggles to overcome the fight against the contagious Covid19.

Some of the items donated include; 600 litres of hand sanitizers, 600 litres of liquid soap, 50 boxes of surgical face masks, 50 boxes of disposable gloves, 300 pieces of face shields and 30 temperature guns.

Currently, the prevalence rate of Covid-19 in the district is at 80% with Anaka and Alero trading centers listed as the most contagious and affected areas.

Speaking during the handover of the assorted PPEs at the district headquarters over the weekend, Judith Acan Peace, the Nwoya district Woman MP who lobbied for the items and Richard Todwong, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Secretary General said, she has observed that, most times , it’s the Community Health Workers especially Village Health Teams (VHTs) and Local Councilors (LCs) who don’t have the required PPEs for their protection.

Acan blamed the surging numbers of positive cases on truck drivers, reluctance by the community members to adhere to the stipulated Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and the fact that many people whose relatives are diagnosed with the disease tend to go and hide in the villages which has also led to the surge in positive cases in the district.

Richard Todwong said the donations were timely especially at the time when the President identified it as one of the 9 districts that has registered an increase in Covid-19 cases.

Todwong also tasked the district and local leaders to sensitize the public on the dangers of Covid-19 but also rally them to get vaccinated against the contagion.

According to Todwong, the increasing cases of infections are due to the exposure of the community members to travelers destined for either DRC or South Sudan.

Todwong also noted that the district has numerous commercial farmers who often transport workers from the various parts of the country and could either be positive or exposed to the virus, a factor which has led to the surge in positive Covid-19 cases.

“You know, Nwoya district is home to several large commercial farms which recruit people from very many parts of the country and the world generally and their exposure to Covid-19 could be among the major drivers to the increase in the positive cases.”

“Truck drivers who are destined for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan are very reckless with their lifestyles. They at most times interacting with the community members especially those in the major trading centres along the Karuma- Pakwach highway, another factor that is seemingly leading to the surge in positive cases, “Todwong noted.

Janet Oola, the Nwoya District Health Officer (DHO) says that, they were already struggling to reach out to the community due to limited PPEs, especially for the health workers.

https://thecooperator.news/minister-to-follow-up-with-mglsg-on-city-dwellers-who-missed-the-covid19-relief-funds/

Oola further says that, the priority will now be the community-based health assistants, the VHTs and Local Council Chairpersons because they interact the most with the community members.

“We were already struggling to access the people in the community because of lack of the PPEs for the health workers and the VHTs. At some point early this year, they complained thinking they were being neglected but it’s because we didn’t have the PPEs. Now that we have received these PPEs, we will first prioritize the VHTs, LCs and also our frontline workers,” said Oola.

Last week, Nwoya district had 55 cases under home based care with 5 deaths since the contagion was confirmed in the country in March last year.

LIRA – Lira District Local Government has offered 300 acres of land that was formerly Aler farm, in Ngetta sub-county, to Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) to build an industrial park.

The Lira district LC5 Chairperson, Richard Cox Okello Orik handed over the land to the State Minister for Investment, Everlyn Anite after convincing the farming community of the opportunities coming with the investment.

Since 2011, there has been an ongoing dispute between the district and the farming community over the ownership of a 1,500 acres piece of land.

About 332 residents challenged the district in court over the land located 10km along Lira-Kitgum road. The land covers 10 villages in Ngetta, Ogur and Alito in Kole district.

The villages according to the community include; Te-Arie, Oribcing, Opimo, Te-Dam, Okii, Aler, Perac, Atira, Acan-Akwo and Akwara.

The handover was witnessed by Lango Parliamentary Group, the City Mayor and the Business Community.

The Minister of Health, Dr Jane Aceng who is also Lira City woman MP were among dignitaries in attendance.

“The previous councils resolved to offer 300 acres to UIA and my role as the new Chairperson is to hand it over,” Okello says.

“We shall offer more 200 to make 500 depending on how they start utilizing the one we have donated,” Okello adds.

Anite is currently traversing the country to secure land to set up 25 industrial parks with a target of creating jobs, identifying accessible land for investment, and introducing new research technologies besides skills development to boost Uganda`s export and increased revenue base.

James Obong, a resident said, they realized the land belongs to the Lira District Local Government and they found no merit to continue with the court process.

“We are happy that the UIA is coming and it will be a good opportunity for us,” he said.

https://thecooperator.news/nebbi-community-offers-500-acres-of-land-to-uia-for-the-construction-of-an-industrial-park/

Minister Anite pledged government’s support for the establishment of an industrial park which in turn will provide employment opportunities to people in the Lango sub-region and Uganda at large.

“We have not come to take away your land. Your land will remain here but we shall use it to improve your well-being,” she said.

Minister Dr Aceng pledged to construct a health center in the area as a reward to the community for allowing the investment.

Meanwhile, Dokolo district has added more 300 acres of land on the 200 they offered to UIA last month.

According to the district LC5, James Otto, they added more because they are looking at tangible investment and job creation.

Nebbi – More than 500 acres of lands located along Pakwach-Nebbi road has been offered to Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) by the community of Omvuro Village, in Mbaro East in Nyaravur-Angal Town Council, Nebbi district in support of the construction of an industrial park.

The communities are optimistic that in the future, the land given will be one of the legacies that the community members have shown commitment towards bringing development to the younger generation to fight poverty.

The land given by the community members is free from wetlands and geographically located along the business hub with both water and electricity which will spur development and provide employment to youths.

https://thecooperator.news/government-to-construct-25-industrial-parks-to-boost-industrialization/

According to Caesar Ocakere, a community member who offered the land, for many years, their children failed to complete education, but if such an opportunity comes in their hands, their children will benefit through local employment.

The woman Member of Parliament for Nebbi district, Agnes Acibu urged parents to spend much money on skilling the youths in order to tap any development that will come as a result of the industrial park in the district.

She added that, the President says, the youths’ futures must be secured through job creation and that’s why the industrial park is being constructed in Nebbi to create more jobs among the youths.

“Our youths are at a certain level of education but they are un-employed meaning that if such opportunity for an industrial park comes, they will definitely get jobs to sustain their livelihoods,” Acibu said.

The State Minister for Finance, Planning and Economics Development, Hon Everlyn Anite says, due to the influx of Congolese, there is big business potential if the industrial park is fully constructed.

She added that the responsible ministry will not bring poverty to the community but bring in development by employing youths in the factories as one of economic drivers to alleviate poverty.

The Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Nebbi, Abak Robert said, there will be no need to outsource employees outside the district if the youths are trained to manage the machines locally.

He adds that the industrial park will therefore boost commercialization of cassava production since there is going to be value addition because cassava has its ready market and is a raw material for brewing alcohol.
