Yesterday some people were calling me saying government is closing schools due to Ebola and children are to be sent back home. We need to avert this! @MinofHealthUG
@Educ_SportsUg
I think we need to send out enough information outside to people especially Omuntu wa'wansi.

A Thread:

When I carried out my constitutional role of oversight in 2023, 2024 and 2025 after receiving complaints that some well-connected individuals were exploiting traders through abnormally high dues, those responsible hid behind NRM connections to frustrate the process..

[Samuel42 Egadu @EgaduSamuel42]

Every morning, hundreds of roadside vendors in Soroti wake up before dawn to hustle for survival selling roasted groundnuts, boiled maize, roasted potatoes, bananas, cassava, fruits, and other small household items along the streets of the city.
But beyond the daily struggle of finding customers, each vendor is also expected to pay 500 shillings per day in market dues to the city council.
That amount may sound small, but when broken down, it translates to 15,000 shillings per month per vendor. And if there are about 1,000 roadside vendors operating across the city, council could be collecting nearly 15 million shillings every month from these small-scale traders alone.
Yet many of these same vendors are often accused of operating in ungazetted or unauthorized spaces.
So the big question remains: If the city considers these places illegal for trade, why continue collecting revenue from them?
When asked the City Clerk, Paul Batanda, about this concern, he explained that the dues are charged for trading activity itself and are not based on whether someone is operating from the right or wrong place.

[Hon. Acom Alobo Joan @acomalobo]

This same vice is actually still ongoing in Soroti city and it's true, we still have Vendors outside the designated market spaces, and this is a challenge.

I am dedicating this new term into harmonizing traders with the city Council and again fight corruption in my City.

[Hon. Acom Alobo Joan @acomalobo]

Yet I still get same complaints todate even after that intervention!

Sadly, my efforts to extend the fight for accountability and protect ordinary traders were met with resistance, intimidation and even trumped-up charges that led to my incarceration.
