@Uwitware @Kakwenza1 @nickopiyo @marc1705 @nbstv And they had the audacity to defend the indefensible . Talk about fools parading their ignorance about a subject. Here's to you @nbstv - If your programme directors have an iota of sense.

This is succinct. It should help those either confused or deliberately obtuse about the Black Lives Matter Movement. Do not be gone deaf folks to this serious issue.

Let's chat about the perspectives of women and PWDs in Uganda's COVID-19 responses also in the #ActionAidTalksUg @actionaiduganda @PACUgandaSoroti @DGFUganda17 @SamuelArimon @OjUganda

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @sabitijoseph In Ug citizen oversight is largely thru representation which hasnt been possible in the emergency modus operendi! This is why Teso CSOs have called on task forces to adopt to mechanisms to increase citizen participation in their decision making processes.

Have citizens delivered on their own oversight mandate in the response to the pandemic? #ActionAidTalksUG @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @sabitijoseph

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 Since a great % of the emergency responses rely on existing infrastructure and policies; our budgeting architecture should focus on progressively empowering our frontline services like health, transport, communication and agriculture to hold fort!

What recommendations can you provide on state responsiveness in handling future pandemics? #ActionAidTalksUG @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RebeccaKadagaUG @FrankTumwebazek @SemujjuNganda No it will NOT! The oversight that COVID-19 responses need is from institutions not individuals. The Oversight and Accountability committees of Parliament can & should provide the needed oversight with no extra cost to tax payers. See OPM procurement scandal!

Do you think the 10billion offered to parliamentarians for oversight and monitoring of the covid-19 pandemic will serve the intended purpose? #ActionAidTalksUG @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RebeccaKadagaUG @FrankTumwebazek @SemujjuNganda

@Mubangizi1995 @actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RuhakanaR @edthnaka Absolutely! Learning from the OPM food saga; Task forces should inherently be accountable and that is more actual with the District Chairpersons and CAOs than the RDCs! Teso CSOs have demanded to see a form of political oversight on all task force operations.

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RuhakanaR @edthnaka The first step is to use institutions as they are easy to hold to account. The office of the RDC is not an institutional office meaning that we dispenses to them monies and are depending on their good will to use appropriately. #ActionAidTalksUg

How can the government support critical transparency and accountability measures in task forces at the grassroots level? @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 #actionAidTalks @RuhakanaR @edthnaka

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @RuhakanaR @edthnaka CSOs in Teso have demanded that Task Forces should publish all resources mobilized and how they are utilized using; the available radio airtime on community radios, public notices, social media and by designating, a taskforce public liaison office.

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal A point to ponder by @PPDAUganda @Accu_Ug is how procurement related corruption is deep seated in Uganda despite the presence of a law. Probably OPM could have used another template to provide this relief instead of being the PDU!

The office of the prime Minister has been on the spot over inflating food prices what should the government do about it ? has enough been done to correct the wrongs? @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 #ActionAidTalks @nicksonogwal

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal It is now clear that OPM needs to develop anticorruption strategy for each of their interventions complete with transparency, accountability, oversight mandate and compliance by participating MDAs. Prevention is better than cure!

@actionaiduganda @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @Mubangizi1995 @nicksonogwal Parliament as an institution gets the nod for promptitude with the supp. budget but individual MPs have not resonated the 'leadership is critical' tone set by GoU. Ugandans are disappointed about the 20M saga and had hoped for better.

What role have your mps played in pushing for public interests during the Pandemic ? how have the youth Mps fared in this crisis ? @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @muniekailyn @Mubangizi1995 #ActionAidTalksUG @nicksonogwal

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @DGFUganda17 @UPDFspokespersn If anything is being done, it is not SEEN to have been done! Violence survivors deserve a transparent perpetrator accountability process in order to restore their confidence in what ever measures are being taken to deal with violence in armed forces.

Do you think enough has been done to deal with perpetrators of violence especially in the armed forces ? @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 #ActionAidTalksUG @DGFUganda17 @UPDFspokespersn

@actionaiduganda @Mubangizi1995 @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 @nicksonogwal Investment in backbone service infrastructure such as a robust National Health Service Delivery is in itself a means to deal with emergencies. It is high time we started progressive actions towards improving health service provision.

What do you think are the policy gaps that need to be addressed in regard to dealing with emergencies in Uganda ? @Mubangizi1995 @karamagi_andrew @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1 #ActionAidTalksUG @nicksonogwal

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @xmusema @nicksonogwal Teso CSOs also support the calls to make Legal Aid Service Provision an 'essential' service in the Lock Down as a measure of Human Rights Defending. @ug_lawsociety @LaspnetUganda @HRCUG

What do you think is behind the cases of rights violations and abuses in your community ? what can be done to deal with these ills ? @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 #ActionAidTalksUG @xmusema @nicksonogwal

@actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @xmusema @nicksonogwal CSOs in Teso have agreed to sustain incident reporting, document evidence, engage the UHRC, @HRCUG and LASPs to handle specific cases and incidences.
