[WestNileNet] The AU & Mediterranean Migrants.
After watching dramatic footage about what is happening with African migrants trying to cross to Europe, and as the European Union discusses the tragic deaths in the Mediteranean sea, shouldn't it be a priority for the African Union to actively participate as well? After all, these migrants are Africans from across the board!?! ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[WestNileNet] Undelivered Service Delivery: Or Corruption At Left-Overs Level?
Undelivered Service Delivery: Or Strategic Corruption Now At Left-Overs Level? The Independent Magazine recently wrote that "as some government departments wallow in debt, others are unable to spend the money allocated to them." They cited the Auditor Generals latest report saying it showed that "up to Shs217 billion could not be absorbed by government projects and Shs 9.4 billion was returned to the consolidated fund." The affected sectors included "Roads, Agro-processing, Household Income Improvement, Health, and Education." Remember that the government ministries returning unused cash actually budgeted for this money in the first place, purportedly for projects implementation and services. Because this is becoming an increasingly regular habit every financial year, I am starting to wonder if this isn't cash that the corrupt were plotting to steal but failed? Maybe because the money was put in a well lit spot where the one who touches it could be caught red-handed? It is surely absurd for government funds to be returned unused, yet the country alledgedly lacks money for doctors salaries and other crucial services. Or does some astute big fish intentionally organize this funds return so as to feast quietly on the unmonitored national budget left-overs? ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[WestNileNet] As Capt. Mike Mukula Steps Down In 2016...
My good friend Flight Captain & MP for Soroti Municipality, the Hon. George Michael Mukula has decided to quit politics. This is a big surprise and a sad moment at the same time. The NRM Vice Chairperson has been the most charismatic leader coming from the Teso sub-region in recent times. Also the most recognizable and talked about politician because of his taste for smartness but also his ability to debate pertinently on national matters whether in the media or on the floor of parliament. He has friends from across the political spectrum and is respected by the business community as well. We have been friends from when I first helped to set up his Community Radio station "Voice of Teso". It was also a great adventure campaigning for him in 2011 when he regained his seat after loosing it in 2006. As he steps down from the next elections I am sure he will remain a reference in Eastern Uganda politics. ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
