Kampala The Government has slashed its annual conditional grant for roads to Masindi by sh400m, the district chairman, John Majara, has said.He said this followed President Yoweri Museveni's request in 2002 for districts to contribute to the fight against the northern insurgency by accepting the measure.
Majara said the district was receiving sh130m, down from sh530m.He was speaking during the 18th NRM Day celebrations at Masindi Stadium on Monday.The RDC, Hassan Galiwango, urged the public to support the lifting of term limits for the presidency.
"What does Obote and Uganda People's Congress want to do with political power? We gave them power twice and they groomed their people to overthrow them," he said.Local government state minister Dr. Phillip Byaruhanga said the Movement had started harmonising the vision for the country.The well-attended function was marked by a colourful parade mounted by the UPDF, Police, Prisons, private security agencies and tertiary institutions.
The LC3 chairman, Capt. Sam Musinguzi, called for increased production of food crops to fight increasing food prices.He said the district has enough land for agriculture.
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
- Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister
