National unity platform is the leading opposition political party in Uganda with Kyagulanyi Robert aka Bobi wine as the party president. The party has 57members of Parliament while Forum for Democratic change is led by Patrick Oboi Amuriat as the party president with 32 members of Parliament.

In a secret meeting that was held at Hotel African Kampala on 1st August 2022, the two parties vehemently agreed to support FDC because NUP party president had lost truck in leadership

NUP president has become irrelevant in the face of Ugandans hence influencing the decision to form an alliance with FDC party as they target 2026 general elections to front one candidate who will be Col. Dr. Kiiza Besigye.

According to Hon. Mathias Mpuuga, the member of Parliament for Masaka- Mukungwe division in Masaka city and also the Leader Of Opposition in Parliament said that indeed NUP members of Parliament were divided over their President who has turned into a businessman than a politician

Mpuuga agreed to mobilize all members of Parliament to support Col. Dr Kiiza Besigye for proper leadership in opposition.

They further accused party president Kyagulanyi of working with the State especially when the state gave him tax waver for his bullet proof car last 2021 which Uganda Revenue Authority had impounded for tax clearance with so many allegations.

When Lewis Rubongoya the National Unity Platform secretary general asked about this development, he said NUP party and FDC have made an alliance and are now one party ready to work behind FDC from today until they capture State House.

The Lord Mayor for Kampala City Hon. Elias Lukwago who doubles as the Vice President for Central Uganda in FDC welcomed the move and related NUP to the lost sheep without a Shepard that has now seen light.

Other political parties involved in the merging include JEEMA, PPP and a block of DP that separated from the Mao faction.

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...

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...
