However, these are not the only factors that made this launch distinctive but the presence of the Vice President, Edward Ssekandi who has launched the project. The launch was also blessed and witnessed by the State Minister in Charge of the Elderly and Disability, Hon. Sulaiman Madada, MPs representing People with Disabilities (PWDs) and several other dignitaries from the central Government and Kayunga District local administration.

“I hereby launch the Membership Empowerment Project), a three year project operational in 12 districts and supported by some development partners,” Sekandi said and added.

“It is my strong conviction that this will reinforce the existing agencies supporting our persons with disabilities.” The project seeks to make sure that persons with physical disabilities enjoy equal rights in all aspects of life and are included equally into development programs and projects such as NAADS, Prosperity for All, Northern Uganda Social Action Fund, among others.

The project is implemented in 12 districts including Kayunga, Kiboga, Mubende (central region); Mbarara, Bushenyi and Kisoro (western); Arua, Oyam and Kitgum (northern); Busia, Palissa and Kaberamaido in the east. It is supported by three organisation of persons with disabilities in Denmark: Danish Handicap Forbund; Danish Brain Injury Support Association; and Disabled Sports Organisation Denmark.

Also at the launch, UNAPD’s treasurer Ark Goffin Candria, handed over a copy of the Accessibility Standards to the vice president and asked him to support UNAPD in her endeavour to make the Standards part of the upcoming Building Control Act. Candria noted that one of the biggest challenges persons with physical disabilities face is the inaccessible physical environment. He explained that most of the services are offered in inaccessible building and places, making it impossible for many PWDs to access services. He said with the adoption of the Standards as part of the law, UNAPD hopes that the law will be observed and enforced by the relevant agencies to make building and other facilities usable to all people. Sekandi hailed UNAPD for coming up with the Standards and pledged to push for annexing of the same to the Building Control Act. He also handed over three wheel chairs donated by UNAPD to persons with physical disabilities. Sekandi also   commissioned the International Day for Persons with Disabilities in Kayunga, ahead of the national celebrations that were observed in Lira district on December 3, 2012. The function was organised by Sulaiman Madada, the MP for Bbaale County in Kayunga, partly to thank his voters for reelecting him into Parliament and to commission several development initiatives in the district. PWDs MPs Hellen Asamo, Alex Ndeezi and William Nokrach attended the ceremony. Several officials from the central Government and Kayunga district local government witnessed the ceremony.

The Media for Liberty Award seeks to acknowledge and encourage media contributions that explore the relationship between economic and political liberty.

The most outstanding entry, published or transmitted in the preceding calendar year (between January 1 and December 31) will receive an award of $50,000.

Economists and political theorists have long debated the relationship between economic liberty (i.e., freedom of individuals to make economic choices in a free-market environment) and political liberty (i.e., freedom from government intervention and fostering of civil liberties).

Prominent economists such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, have argued that free economies are conducive to, or even an inseparable element of, political freedom.

The promotion of economic and political liberties requires continual examination by policy makers both in the United States and across the globe. But the media can play an equally vital role in promoting these freedoms through its treatment of and attention to issues of the day, and the societies, cultures and people who are either prospering or struggling in their pursuit of them.

Journalism – from various viewpoints and in various format – that illustrates this correlation will become increasingly relevant as boundaries are lifted and these ideas applied globally.

Sample topics and issues might include (but are not limited to):

• Government involvement in private enterprise (TARP, health and financial reform)
• Dependency on foreign oil
• Access to healthcare (universal care, rationing, Medicare)
• Sovereign debt
• Basic goods (food, housing, healthcare) becoming prohibitively expensive for the middle class consumer
• Ultimate cost of globalization from a societal, cultural, economic perspective True cost of ethanol and its impact on food and fuel
• Fair trade
• Global tax and regulatory changes

Entries must have been published or transmitted via print or electronic media between January 1 and December 31.

Eligible media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, journals, radio, television and websites, must be generally recognized in their markets and accessible to a broad audience in the United States.

Late Kadugala died yesterday at the age of 140. He was born on 12^th January 1872. Kadugala has been one of the most influential members of his clan, village, Sub County, county and district. At the time he met his death, Kadugala could remember well the date, month and the year he was born. He could also tell his neighbours stories of how the British colonialists grabbed Land in Africa, violated human rights and divided people in Africa (Uganda) along tribal lines.

Mr. Kadugala, a resident of Kibula village in Luweero district, Bulemeezi County, in Buganda kingdom died in a night fire that gutted his house in which household property worth millions of shillings was lost.

The police detective on the scene told the press that the fire that ended the life of the oldest man in the world was started by the cigarette remains the deceased had reportedly lit.

Joseph Musoke, one of the grandsons of Kadugala described the deceased as the father of history and the nation whom Uganda, Africa and the world at large have lost. Other people have described Kadugala as a hero and that if the dead could raise Kadugala would have risen up and say good bye to his people. As it is known that African governments rarely respect old people, none of the government official has laboured to come to console the mourners yet the deceased has been a resource to many Ugandans.
