The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has called for applications from qualified women to fill its vacant posts including the post of national programme specialist (UN women).

Because of this the government of Uganda is committed to UN reform and has requested the UN system in the country to accelerate its efforts towards greater harmonization and strengthened coordination and align itself strongly in support of the Paris declaration and Accra Agent for Action.

So in its spirit the UN has articulated a unified vision in its new United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2010/2014 which states that it “seeks to support the capacity of Uganda to achieve the national development plan, with focus on equity and inclusion, peace and recovery, population and sustainable development.

The candidates in Jinja Municipality MP by election campaigns have warned the government against militarization of campaigns.

Paul Mwiru, the FDC candidate in the race says that the government has militarized campaigns and added that winning polls inUgandaon an opposition ticket is harder than passing through the hole of a needle.

Mwiru claims that the politics in Jinja is over militarized. He says that the government paramilitary groups of Kalangala Action Plan and Kibooko squad are deployed to beat opposition supporters.

He claims that the paramilitary groups are under a watchful eye of the police. Mwiru was addressing a rally at Jinja central market today.

Mwiru warned that the elections in Jinja are destined to be chaotic if the exercise remains militarized. The seat went vacant after the court nullified the election victory of NRM candidate in the race, Nathan Igime Nabeta.

Traders in Kampalaoperating along Kampala-Gayaza Roadtoday brought work to a standstill as they closed the Road in protest over load shedding.  

The angry demonstrators smashed vehicles while police looks on for sometime. However the police later acted when it gained the numbers of policemen it needed to take action.

The problem with Ugandan demonstrators most of them are militants and they stage tough resistance whenever there is a demonstration.

Moses Kaggwa, one of the demonstrators told our informers that they demonstrated because UMEME, the company in charge of supplying power has failed to serve them to their satisfaction.

The demonstrators threw stones at the police and made illegal blockade along the road. The police in the due course arrested tens of demonstrators and charged them with participating in an illegal assembly.
