MANAGER UGANDA REDCROSS-IGANGA BRANCH

[Charles Onyango-Obbo @cobbo3]

Jacob, I respect that you took time out to respond with data on this. It's a very rare approach for defenders of the M7/NRM record to do that, so thanks. But, also, facts:
1. You say; M7 1986-2026 = 40 YEARS OF: PEACE: No war in Kampala since 1986:
•FACT CHECK: Yes, Central and Western Uganda, minus the Kasese region, have remained relatively stable, but the North & Northeast (1987–2006) saw various wars, including the Lakwena and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) that lasted 20 years.
At its peak, over 1.8 million people were forced into Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camps, which were described by the UN as having some of the highest mortality rates in the world. And there has been the ADF war (on-going but inside DRC with the UPDF). In all, between 200,000 to 400,000 are estimated to have been killed in these wars.

2. UPE: 8.6M children in school FREE.
•FACT CHECK: Yes, enrolment went up considerably, but the problem with UPE is the the dropout rate is approximately 60-70% before reaching Primary 7.
Many children "in school" fail basic literacy and numeracy tests (Uwezo reports consistently show that a significant percentage of P.3 to P.7 students cannot perform P.2 level tasks).
3. USE: 2M students in secondary FREE.
•FACT CHECK: Only about 1 in 4 students who start primary school actually make it to secondary school.
Compared to Kenya, which has a secondary school transition rate of over 90%. Uganda’s secondary system struggles with high hidden costs (fees for lunch, uniforms, and building funds) that exclude the poorest.
4. PDM: 10,594 parishes getting 100M each:
•FACT CHECK: This was no doubt an important injection of development money at the grassroots level, but the programme has been marred by "ghost" SACCOs and officials arrested for diverting funds.
More critically, after years of decline, the poverty rate has stagnated or risen in specific Ugandan regions. Uganda's poverty rate reached 26.4% in 2023/2024, with rural poverty at 30.2%. In the North and East, poverty levels remain as high as 34-39%.
5. ROADS: Entebbe Expressway, SGR coming.
•FACT CHECK: At a cost of $476 million ($9.2M per km), Entebbe Expressway was one of the most expensive roads per kilometre in the world.
Similar 4-lane highways in countries like Ethiopia (Addis-Adama Expressway) were built for roughly $5M per km (though yes, we have to provide for differences in terrain).
On the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), it was first officially promised in the 2010/11 National Budget. It has been "coming" for 16 years. By comparison, Tanzania and Kenya have already built major portions of their SGR networks over the same period.

When the People of Bwondha landing site in Mayuge district first caught wind of the Mpox outbreak sweeping across the country, initial reactions were far from alarmed. Many believed it posed no real threat, dismissing it as a harmless rumor. After all, some claimed it was simply an illness they’d faced before, and that a few local herbs could cure it, just in days. To many, this situation felt no different than battling measles or smallpox.

Among the fishermen, a different theory took root - they attributed the outbreak to changes in the wind direction and the persistent dryness in their region, suggesting that the hot winds were "burning" their bodies and leading to illness.

With such misconceptions circulating, the @MinofHealthUG, alongside partners such as the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) and @UNICEFUganda, had to act swiftly to dimistify the misconceptions.

Teams were dispatched into the heart of the community, working tirelessly to educate the people about #Mpox and shared vital information to prevent further spread.

Today, our dedicated volunteers continue on the ground to passionately engage in sensitizing the community, helping them understand the reality of #Mpox and how to protect their health. The efforgs of the volunteers are crucial in turning the tide against misinformation and safeguarding the well-being of the people.
