MY VACATION IN BROOKLYN

            Tegulle's daily monitor column 
Old fashioned houses and serenity grace your sights coupled with long walks on paved walkways at sunset are clear reminder that one should escape every once in the while. The dilemma with the escape is that every single person like me tends to what to have that feeling for another century if possible. 
Now comes "Taata" Kaiser with the analogy of the about the haves and have-nots. World over, there are no clear determinants of destiny but hard work, passion and attitude for a clear goal in life would go a long way in aiding. Right in our neighbourhood here in DR Congo, the former president was from a ruling background and he ascended to the highest position in office, and finished his term. 
This is one of many persons that have climbed the tree from the top and went on to look for higher canopies. As a parent we are there to give our children opportunity whether they take it or not is a choice. One would think Gawaya's son Kaiser, should start from scratch to prove to world that his better. That begs the question why would you as a parent have invested all the time and sweat in the child if he or she is to start climbing from the bottom? Chances are very high that your Local council one (LCI) chairman's son of age is on the youth committee of the village in which you live or even perhaps has taken the reigns for the father in the just concluded council elections. Least I mention the former Speaker's seat in Omoro.
The 2026 elections are four years away and am pretty sure the rising prices in commodities are the common man's immediate concern. But like said when on vacation one forgets they have to get back to routines. 
Luckily Gawaya has been to Brooklyn so he knows sights, but like a string of Johnny-come-lately human rights learned fellows wants to take stage where Isaac Ssemakadde has vacated.

WHY EAST AFRICA NEEDS THE EACOP.

There has been recent claims on a motion of resolution by the European Parliament that calls on Uganda and Tanzania to stop the development of oil and gas projects in the East African region.  However,  Uganda and East Africa need the Oil pipeline following public reactions towards the negative motives of the European Parliament. It brings back colonial times, much as their arguments have a grain of salt, I dont think the the implementers of EACOP did not conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This was done and all aspects taken into consideration. And besides that, Africa at large is the least contributor to climate change. They (first world countries) are the biggest contributors-they are burning fossil fuels like coal which contribute heavily to climate change.  They have refused to stop their use, they should tackle that First, before they start extending their concerns to us. We need this pipeline as a region, we should just look at ensuring its...

AN ENEMY WITHIN. The Secret Position of David Lewis Rubongoya in NUP and why he is there".

There is a saying that says; "What will swallow you is usually part of the nice garment you often want to put on. Everyone since the inception of NUP has always wondered why the NUP delegation Conference chose David Lewis Rubongoya as the Secretary General of the Party. Let's pause A bit, what if this was a state intended choice to ease its spy activities in the NUP party?? It's wise to know and intently perceive that a Secretary General in any political party has almost more powers than anyone else.  Family background According to our trusted sources, Lewis Rubongoya is a Mubiito Munyoro whose parents shifted from Bunyoro to Mbarara District. His father was an ordinary veterinary doctor and the mother was an unlicensed teacher who stopped teaching at a young age.  David Lewis is the fourth out of five children from the mother's side and the ninth on the father's side because the father had four other children from a different mother. The Father later o...

URA clarifies the KACITA planned protest cause.

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) said 125 containers are pending clearance for taxes, dismissing the figure the spokesperson of Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) told the Saturday Vision. "The Saturday Vision on 28/08/2021 reported that 700 containers of textile/garments are stuck at URA, quoting the Spokesperson of KACITA. A figure that is far from the truth," Ian Rumanyika, the Authority's acting commissioner of public and corporate affairs, said in a Sunday statement. "We are in possession of 125 containers and so far, 9 have been cleared due to the new tax regime as pronounced by the Honorable Minister of Finance Planning and Economic Development." For the current financial year, the government raised the import duty rate of garments from 25% to 35% or a charge of $3.5 for every kilogram and for textile fabrics, it was increased to 35% or $3 per kg. In an August 4 letter, Finance Minister Matia Kasaija advised that that textile fabrics and garments tha...
