Ed Kironde,
Talking about e-mail, what happened to your buddy Mr. Lutimba Matovu. He has kept quiet over the denial statements he made about snake/croc tortures by the Museveni dictatorship. And while we are at it, what about the reported denials by Kigongo, the vice-chair of the NRM/NRA, that dictator Museveni had not allowed party politics (it was all media hype).
Tell us the truth; you seemed to know all before!

Mulindwa When you talk of updates, many of E-mail addresses of our Hon members do not work. Good many of them have bounced back. Some of them, when their accounts were configured, they may not have ever signed in to be prompted to change their passwords and the period may have lapsed. The other issue, changing servers does not necessarily mean that you E-mail account changes. Changing providers, your E-mail goes � though these days you can pay a fee to have your �personal E-mail for life.

I have decided to put note on what many of us have taken for granted, an E-mail address, or Electronic address, for we have failed to understand how important it is to the people who communicate with us.
Good as technology has become, we are still having a problem of changing a server and we maintain the old Email address. That is why they all end up with @ at something, that some thing is the provider of your E-mail address. Now many times we change these servers due to several reasons, companies go under belly, we get better services or we even get cheaper services. The moment we change them, our E-mail addresses change.
Now this is the problem we are finding in Uganda E-mail users, and it does not matter whether they are companies, Government offices, travel agents, or even government ministers. When they change a server they do not alert the people who communicate with them. And it is not necessary to send a note to every body that you have changed the address, but if your E-mail address is on a permanent list, a list which you know that we go to, please by all means change it. It is very absurd when you go to a permanent page like Uganda Pages, a page where I am supposed to find current information on Uganda companies, and find that all travel agents which are on Uganda Pages, at least 80% of them have dead E-mail addresses. When you call the travel agent and ask them why their E-mail address is bad then she tells you how you have a wrong one, but mom I got it from Uganda Home pages?
Why do I have to go to a list of Uganda government, and three quarters of MP's email addresses are wrong? As we speak how many Minister's E-mail addresses are good today? And I take it that some MP knows that his/her E-mail address is on the Uganda Government page and that is where we all go to look for them. People computers have a thing called address, and they all go into that thing, why are the ones in Uganda the only ones we can not depend on?
Please note, that because our communicating with people is important for example here, Simpatico is giving better deals these days, but I can not change from my server, for I have been with him for such a long time and my E-mail address is all over the place. So if it is looking for cheaper ones, please sacrifice those little Uganda Shillings and stay where you are. But most of all, if you know that your address is on a permanent list please up date it.
And can some one from Uganda Government get off their butt and up date that page for crying out loud, or we still need some one from World Bank to do it for us? Talk about strange days. Edward Mulindwa Toronto
