The workers strike began today, 04th June, 2012. The workers are demanding for the minimum wage, industrial Court, workers involvement in NSSF affairs and the amendment of the NSSF Act to cater for workers” interests, among other demands.

Many workers have kept around Kampala in the City Centre and waited for instructions from their leaders.
The workers threatened to camp in the offices of the government Ministries if the government continues being adamant.

The workers said they will not keep quiet until their demands are met and not leaving the city centre even if they arrested or tear gassed.

They say that they are protected by law and when they are arrested, others will takeover and when released they shall come back to the campaign.

The workers and their leaders first stormed offices of concerned Ministries and demanded that the “long standing workers” demands that fall within the jurisdiction of particular Ministries be handled. But the turn up for the workers in today’s demonstration was minimum.

The electoral commission recently reinstated the Democratic Party’s Brenda Nabukenya as the genuine woman MP for Luweero district. Nabukenya had been declared the winner of the polls after the commission cancelled its earlier call for vote recount.

The National Resistance Movement candidate who was the first runner up, Rebecca Nalwanga in her application, had earlier contested the results declared by the district returning officer, Mr Peter Kasozi.

The district returning officer, Mr. Kasozi says that the vote recount was canceled because some of the ballot boxes were tampered with.

Kasozi says that Section 54 of the Parliamentary Elections Act of 2005 provides for a mandatory vote recount if the number of votes cast of the winning candidate and any other is not above 50.
