HAJJAT HADIJAH NAMYALO MONITORS LC II ELECTIONS IN KAMPALA
ONC Manager Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye today monitored the ongoing Local Council II (LC II) elections in Kampala, visiting MTG Gogonya 2 Polling Station in Nsambya to observe the electoral process.
During her visit, Hajjat Namyalo interacted with voters and election officials and observed the voting and tallying processes as residents exercised their democratic right to choose their parish leadership.
Following the completion of voting and tallying, Parish Election Officer Pyoto Rogers declared Lubowa Fred the winner of the LC II Chairperson race for Central Parish, after securing 149 votes.
The LC II elections are an important part of strengthening grassroots governance in Uganda. Parish-level leaders play a vital role in linking communities to the broader local government structure, mobilising residents and contributing to the identification and implementation of priorities that directly affect communities.
For the NRM, strong grassroots leadership remains central to translating government programmes and development initiatives into meaningful impact at community level. Monitoring and participating in the democratic process at this level therefore underscores the importance of ensuring that communities have accountable and responsive leaders.
Hajjat Namyalo’s visit reflects the continued importance of engaging with communities at the grassroots and encouraging peaceful, orderly and participatory elections as Ugandans choose the leaders who will serve them at parish level.

If the allegations against Stephen Nuwagaba are genuine, why were they never formally reported to the relevant authorities for investigation? Accusations should be tested through evidence and due process—not trial by media. @ChimpReports@mkainerugaba

One point in Stephen Nuwagaba’s statement stands out: if these allegations are serious, why were they never formally reported to the Police, intelligence agencies or other authorities? Serious accusations should be tested through evidence and due process.

The @ROSACUg commended the @GovUganda , @PoliceUg , Ministry of Works and Transport, health workers, ambulance teams, local governments, security agencies and community members for their response to recent road crash emergencies.
The coalition also welcomed government support to bereaved families and survivors, while reaffirming that meaningful progress will come through collaboration, stronger policies and sustained commitment from every stakeholder.

“Road safety is a shared responsibility, not a blame game.” At the @ROSACUg National Press Conference, Chairperson Fred Tumwine called on government, transport operators, civil society, development partners and the public to unite behind evidence-based reforms that will save lives.
He stressed that rising road crashes demand stronger partnerships, sustained investment and collective action to make Uganda’s roads safer for everyone.

Mr. Timothy Chemonges also advocated for stronger speed management measures, the professionalization of passenger transport and increased investment in safer transport systems as critical interventions to reduce road crashes.
He called on government, transport operators, families and all road users to embrace shared responsibility, stressing that the continued loss of innocent lives—especially children—is preventable. Every Ugandan, he said, deserves the confidence that their loved ones will leave home and return safely each day.

Mr. Ndungu Omong further noted that professionalizing Uganda’s driving industry goes beyond the individual driver. It requires responsible employers, roadworthy vehicles, fair working conditions, adequate rest, access to healthcare, continuous learning and the smart use of digital systems for driver registration, competency tracking and accountability.
He urged Government, employers, training institutions and professional associations to work together to recognize commercial driving as a skilled profession, invest in driver welfare and build a transport system that protects lives and supports national development.
As he concluded, “A driving permit gives one the authority to drive, but professionalism gives society the confidence to trust a driver.”

The Executive Director of UPDN, Mr. Ndungu Omong, said the recent road crash tragedies in Omoro, Mukono and Kapchorwa are a stark reminder that Uganda must urgently strengthen its road safety efforts.
He emphasized that roads alone do not cause crashes—people do. Even with improved infrastructure, irresponsible road use, inadequate driver competence and weak safety systems continue to claim lives.
He called for the establishment of a national post-licensing professional driver development framework, where commercial drivers receive continuous competency-based training in defensive driving, speed and fatigue management, passenger care, vehicle safety and responsible transport operations.

Mr. Apollo Kasule further emphasized the need for clear accountability across the entire school transport system. He called for schools and transport providers to implement comprehensive safety plans, strengthen enforcement mechanisms and ensure meaningful penalties for non-compliance.
He urged all stakeholders to adopt a proactive approach by prioritizing roadworthy vehicles, responsible transport operations and child-centred safety measures that guarantee every learner a safe journey.
#RoadSafetyUG #ROSACU #ArriveAlive
The UPDN Board Chairperson, Mr. Apollo Kasule, called for urgent reforms to strengthen school transport safety, noting that protecting children on Uganda’s roads requires more than good intentions.
He advocated for stronger regulation of school transport providers through robust licensing systems, specialized training for drivers, regular medical fitness assessments, annual certification and vehicle inspections tailored specifically for school transport.
He stressed that children deserve the highest safety standards every time they travel to and from school.

The Executive Director of CEPA, Mr. Timothy Chemonges, called for road safety to be treated as a national development priority, noting that Uganda loses more than UGX 7 trillion annually to preventable road crashes.
He emphasized that road safety goes beyond transport—it is a public health, economic and family welfare issue, with devastating consequences for lives, livelihoods and the country’s productivity.
While recognizing Government’s ongoing efforts and investments, he urged stronger enforcement, increased funding and sustained commitment to reversing the growing burden of road crashes.
