Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi has appealed to Ugandan intellectuals to realize that he has sacrificed everything and deserves to be advised rather than being beaten down.
Kyagulanyi also known as Bobi Wine came under fire from Ugandans on social media who said he had a dismal show when he appeared on NTV political talk show On spot hosted by Patrick Kamara.
Particularly, Bobi Wine was tasked to explain what fiscal tools he would use to curb inflation when he becomes Uganda’s president.
Kyagulanyi recently declared that he would run for the presidency in 2021 and Kamara was the first to interview Bobi Wine live on TV after Bobis big announcement.
In a popular section of the interview that has been trending on social media following the Thursday night show, Bobi Wine said he will immediately ban taxes on the Over The Top taxes (OTT) introduced last year.
Following the backlash over his miserable performance according to social media users, Bobi Wine has used a long quote by Theodore Roosevelt in which he said The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust , sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again..
But in his own words, Bobi Wine called for more advice than ridicule.
“Ultimately, we have some work cut out for us. If we do not want to rise to the occasion and save our nation, let us be slow in criticizing those who are sacrificing everything, including potentially their life, to do that work. We can guide and advise, without beating them down!” Bobi Wine said in a message on his Facebook account.

She appreciated the work being done by government for promoting women emancipation but noted that civilized women also need civilized men to make good families in future.
Hon Rwakimaari attributed the increased cases of divorce and domestic violence to women failing to empower and educate their both children before engaging in family matters.
She thanked the members of Women of faith Foundation Ministry-Ntungamo led by Regina Karibwende for organizing such workshop will an eye opener to many women in the district.
The main facilitator pastor Douglas Murangi of Vine Revival center Mbarara urged parents to nurture their children in a Godly manner equally to avoid the tendency of having good wives but having bad husbands in future.
The chairperson of Women of faith Foundation Ministry-Ntungamo Regina Karibwende Kinyata asked women to have income generating projects if they are to be economically empowered instead of depending on their husbands.

In Sheema
The Resident District Commission Sheema district Frank Kyereere has described UMEME Company as typical thieves.
Kyereere said this on Thursday 7th March 2019 while commissioning electricity project in Rugarama Sub County Sheema district.
Kyereere said that UMEME workers are the super thieves of electricity even though they claim that their bosses are.
He noted that they connive with some people especially the rich whom they give electricity illegally.
The RDC revealed that Sheema police have already caught and imprisoned 5 of them for allegedly stealing electric materials, transformers and that among them are UMEME workers.
He noted that its annoying that their bosses are aware of the theft but have refused to take action or go to courts of law.
The Vice Chairman Mr. Mwesigye Elidard added that these people are pure thieves to the extent that they are against government programs of free electricity.
Mwesigye said that on 1st October 2018 , government launched free lighting for all but that UMEME guys demand too much money from people and those who don’t give them the demanded money, can’t be connected which he said he won’t tolerate it anymore.

Venancio Ndyanabo Tumugabirwe Chairman LC 3 Rugarama Sub County noted that he has received so many complaints from locals against UMEME connections.
Eng Samuel Bishop who represented the chief guest, the Cabinet Minister for Energy, advised the residents not to pay more than 20,000 Shs for both inspection and connection.

“Electricity is a back bone of development when used productively. It will serve no purpose to give you electricity and it is not utilized, therefore construct factories, coffee millers, saloons and others,” Samuel Bishop noted.
