Hon Henry Musasizi the chairperson of the parliamentary committee on finance

Members of Parliament have expressed mixed reactions over the president’s order for a review of the public service by scrapping, downsizing and merging government agencies and authorities as a way of dealing with wastage of resources.

A section of MPs have said that there are many government agencies and authorities which can be scrapped and their absence will not be felt by government and the public.

MPS who include the MP for Nakaseke County South, Paulson Kasana Lutamaguzi,the Busiro East MP,Merdad Segona and Mbwatekamwa said that the Authorities have been consuming tax payers for nothing since most of them have failed to perfom to expected standard.

However, the MP  for Bubulo West, Rose Mutonyi Masaba, is concerned that the scrapping of some of government agencies and authorities may expose many Ugandans to unemployment and thus called for placing the employees in the would be affected agencies to ministries.

The chairperson of the parliamentary committee on finance who is also the MP for Rubanda East, Henry Musasizi, said some authorities are still needed though there those which are duplicating the ministry’s  work.

There about 40 government agencies and authorities under different ministries

We have got news reports that Parliament has pulled down it website www.parliament.go.ug after hackers penetrated into its system. The people in charge of the administration of the parliament website noticed that the hackers were in the process of posting anti president information on the website and they pulled it down.

When we got this information we tried to load the parliament website of www.parliament.go.ug and we found on it the following information.

‘Joomla! Parliament of Uganda website!! This site is temporarily unavailable. Please notify the systems administrator … Could not connect to the database server.’

This is not the first time hackers penetrate and change the information on Uganda government websites. They have been doing it before. Recently website of the Ministry of Works was pulled down after hackers posted a picture of FDC leader Kizza Besigye seated on a stool in a pensive mood.

The image of Besigye stayed on the website for several hours until the authorities in Kampala shut it down.

Several Ugandans especially the people of Buganda have been so inquisitive regarding details of Prince Ssemakokiro, and his mother Rose Nansikombi.

According to the source, Semakokiro and his mother will return to Uganda soon but still the place where they will be residing will not be open to the public until all the rituals are performed on the mother and the child.

 The Katikkiro of Buganda John Baptist Walusimbi announced the birth of Ssemakookiro a couple of weeks back. The six-month-old prince was named Semakokiro after the 27th King of Buganda, Wasajja Ssemakookiro Nabbunga, who reigned the kingdom from 1797 – 1814. According toBugandatraditions, a prince expecting to take over the throne is not supposed to stay inside the palace. He is supposed to grow up like any other child.

We have heard that Kakande is being lured to join the faith by the UMSC spokesman Hajji Nsereko Mutumba. A source says that Kakande would be given whatever he will demand if he coverts to Islam and maintains the faith.

The Muslims also want him to expose the origin of the powers born again pastors use to heal the sick, make the deaf ear, blind see, and demands to leave the oppressed.

Recently, Kakande’s son, Ken Kakande also joined islam and he immediately changed his name from Ken Kakande to Abubakar Kakande. We are yet to establish whether prophet Kakande will accept to join Islam.
