Political Saboteurs Want to Jeopardize Uganda’s Fishing Sector

I read with extreme astonishment from a section of Ugandan media houses carried several news articles bashing government for proposing to restrict Nile perch fish local consumption and prioritize it for species for exports. This wild claim stemmed from the proposal presented to Parliament Agriculture committee by the Uganda Fish Processors and Exporters Association unfortunately as usual, our media attributed it to government. The proposal indeed caused endless uproar and debate that saw government prominently faulted for what it had no...

Early this week,...

NUP Gen. Secretary Rubongoya’s quick self-defense about the Bomb attack smells a rat  

I woke up to read the highlights about the recent bomb attacks that have become an issue of insecurity in our country. Different people have diversionary ideas but a thing that caught my curiosity was the headline published on Nile Post which read “NUP fears recent bomb attacks could be pinned on their members” This was utter shock, it makes me believe that they know or have an idea of who is behind the attacks and are only trying to...
