Ms. Naiya who is also one of the trustees of Ruparelia foundation says this gesture of giving the package is part of their core principles of Ruparelia Foundation of reaching out to the needy in such circumstances as a way of bringing a smile to the faces of the children who are going through tough time with their health.

“We admire their strength and hope that they get well soon. We will do this quarterly but we hope to eventually have it become a monthly activity with sponsorships from more people” Naiya said.

She added that rumor mongering here and there is a sign of cowardice therefore they join her to make Sheema district shine rather than wasting time meandering around.

In Rwampara

Rwampara district FDC chairperson Wilberforce Ahimbisibwe Ongomu has expressed concern over the continued habit of hand-picking party flag bearers by party secretariat in some districts of western Uganda.

Ongomu while speaking to www.mknewslink.com   reporter in a phone interview today 1st, Oct, 2020 stressed that in some constituencies like Sheema north and Sheema municipality the party officials led by the secretary general and the party vice chairperson western Uganda used hand-picking criteria instead of letting aspirant candidates participate democratically via FDC party electoral colleges hence choosing the rightful flag bearers.

Ongomu noted that the party issued out expression of interest forms for aspirant candidates on different political seats but surprisingly in some constituencies like Sheema north, some aspiring candidates were turned down over unclear reasons. 

“Our party Secretariat is now infiltrated with the hand of the ruling government, aspiring candidates in Sheema north and Sheema municipality must petition Courts of law over this issue,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ongomu noted that the National electoral commission didn’t not engage voters in Civic education before the NRM primaries that were conducted recently in the whole  country a thing he alleges was intended.

Wilberforce Ahimbisibwe Ongomu will be contesting for Rwampara East parliamentary seat where he will be facing the NRM flag bearer and the incumbent Hon.Ngabirano Charles and Julius Karuhanga an independent candidate.

In Sheema 

The loser in the recently concluded Sheema LCV chairmanship race Eldard Mwesigye was on Monday nominated to stand as chairman LCIII for Kasaana subcounty in Sheema district.  

Eldard Mwesigye is to tussle it out with Richard Oddo Turyamureeba who was nominated yesterday.

Oddo told www.mknewslink.com reporter that he has seen loopholes in Kasaana service delivery adding that he is ready to erase the selfish weevils that have been eating up Kasaana so as to make it a better place.

Oddo who is currently in collision with Mr Eldard Mwesigye says it is so embarrassing that Mwesigye a former district vice chairperson has stooped so low to contest for sub county chairmanship.

He adds that Mwesigye is selfish and just aims at provoking him wondering how fast someone can be able to squeeze the whole district’s manifesto to a sub county level.

Our reporter’s efforts to get a comment from Mwesigye were aborted since his calls could not go through.
