Listen @nbstv, such all-male panels shd be a thing of the past. You are excluding Ugandan women from political debates, perpetuating a stereotype that men are ‘superior’ politicians to women, & denying your viewers diverse perspectives. Commit to #NoMoreManels please.
Some 2,023 individuals contested for direct constituency seats to @Parliament_Ug in the 2021 general elections. Of this total, only 111 were women.
Regionally, not a single lady contested for the direct seats in Bunyoro & Sebei subregions, 62 & 18 men did, respectively...
Rt. Hon @AnitahAmong said that her view is that the parish model implementation mechanisms should not affect the women’s fund since most of the benefits go to men, the women must be protected and she implored women MPS to make a case for it at NRM caucus.

Not only in Jinja. it speaks louder to the authority and its the responsibility of all health units in charges to take charge by participating in daily facilities rounds and this can be achieved through delegations from hospital directors to the askaris @JaneRuth_Aceng
Candidates in rural areas are struggling for media space with some having to go to neighboring districts since there no media houses in their districts.

My woman of the week:
44 year old Jennifer Brigid O'Malley Dillon. American political strategist and campaign manager for the 2020 presidential campaign of Joe Biden.
Managed a very solid team of strategists, advisors, handlers and analysts to deliver a very important win.
America is a divided country. The new President’s job is clearly cut out. Trump was voted mainly by uneducated, old, white men. Those are no easy folks to win over. #Election2020#AmericaDecides2020#AmericaDecides
