: 29 years later, I still teach out of love
By Phionah Nassanga

Noeline Nanyondo has had an illustrious career in teaching. The 53-year-old has been teaching Literature in English and English language for 29 years. And this career started with her love for literature stemming out of the reading culture her father inculcated in her at the age of eight.
In fact when she got to secondary school, her friends found her a better discussant in their discussion groups. Perhaps this is what informed one of her friends who suggested that she should become a teacher. But she was unaware that the young Nanyondo did not pay attention to her suggestion because she was already torn between pursuing Law or business studies.
Born to the late Matia Kikanduse, who was a Grade Three teacher, Nanyondo is the sixth born of eight siblings. She started her education journey from St. Jema Primary School, Kabuwoko, Masaka District, but then her father was transferred to another school and in Primary Two she was moved.
“When my father was transferred to St. Stephen Buyisa Primary School, he took me along with him,” she says. Here Nanyondo was attending the same school with her elder sister and was being monitored most of the time.

Love for reading
There were not many schools or people with libraries or reading materials at the time.
But Nanyondo and her siblings were some of the lucky ones whose parents owned one. And this was not the only way in which they were lucky; Nanyondo was also the only child with shoes in her class.
On many occasions she was forced to take off her shoes just to fit in.
“My father had a reading room and on many occasions he would invite my siblings and I in, give each one of us a book and ask us to read for him at least a paragraph,” she recalls. Nanyondo recalls, however, that her father was teaching her how to read but with much emphasis on story books written in luganda. She notes that her father used to come home with Kizito magazines which she used to read out loud to her grandfather every evening.
She used to alternate, luganda with books written in English Language. By end of Primary Two, Nanyondo was one of the best luganda readers in her class that she even represented her school in a reading competition and emerged winner. She had mastered how to read and write in her mother tongue and says reading English was not that difficult after that.
“As I grew, my reading culture kept improving. Before I knew it, my passion for reading was high. By Primary Four I was reading novels such as Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Mother by Maxim Gorky,” Nanyondo says.
In 1979, Nanyondo sat for Primary Leaving Exams at Mbuye Primary School in Rakai District after which she joined Christ the King Secondary School, Kalisizo, for O-Level and Makerere High School for A-Level.

Class discussions
When she started Senior One, Nanyondo found teachers giving them text books which they would return to heads of departments at the end of the term. She says the intention of giving them text books was to encourage them read on their own especially in the absence of teachers.
“Back in the days teachers were few. I remember there was a time we spent a term without a Physics teacher. All we had were text books,” she says.
Literature in English was one of her most preferred subjects although Nanyondo says the syllabus has not changed much since then. The Concubine, The Burdens, Mine Boy are some of the books she read during her Senior Three and Four and A Grain of Wheat, Lord of the Flies, School for Scandal and A Man for All Seasons.
When Nanyondo joined Nkozi Teachers College, she says her greatest inspiration was from derived from Otim Rugambwa her lecturer then.
She says he was strict but a good language teacher who helped her build confidence and showed her what a great teacher looked like. She recalls Rugambwa’s statement, “to great teachers, the job is not a career but a calling”. You do not become a teacher to make money only but to make difference.

Being teased
Nanyondo’s first teaching practice was at St. Henry’s College, Kitovu. She was a small girl, yet a teacher of big and tall boys, she was teased first.
They were only five female teachers in school and Nanyondo says the boys referred to them as OGs. However, the teasing did not stop her from proving her worth as teacher.
“I taught Senior Three Literature and Senior Two English for one term before joining Christ the King Secondary School, Kalisizo,” she recalls.
Unlike today where teachers move about with their CVs applying for jobs, Nanyondo says this was not the case before. “Head teachers would go to different teacher colleges requesting for teachers. Upon graduation you were assured of a job already.”

Teacher’s pay
The pay teachers take home must be revised to match their workload. But then, Nanyondo says, teachers should also look elsewhere to improve their livelihoods. “The time has come when one should not rely on salary alone. Money is never enough. The only way is to find a side source of income,” she asserts.

Achievements
Teaching is an incredibly rewarding job. professionally, she says, she has grown. She has been an examiner at Uneb since 2003, a teacher trainer for Rakai District and been able to play school fees for her children.
Nanyondo says teaching gives her a chance to make a difference in students’ lives far beyond classwork daily. “I inspire, support, mentor the chance to discover and share with them what I know about life. Give children a chance to learn their mother tongue before the foreign language. This will help them improve their learning skills,” she advises.

PRESS RELEASE

UPDATE ON THE ONGOING CRACK DOWN OPERATIONS ON DOMESTIC TERRORISM
During my last press briefing of 2.07.2021, we assured the country, that we are actively tracking down the remaining group of assailants, highly connected to the targeted attacks, which led to the double murder of Nantongo Brenda, Kayondo Haruna and the attempted murder of General Edward Katumba Wamala and his bodyguard, Sgt Khalid Kuboit on the 1/06/2021.
I wish to inform you, that we have also arrested WAMPA HUZAIFA alias Kanaabe, a 30-year-old, former member of BODABODA 2010, who was the second shooter being ridden by Walusimbi Kamada alias MUDINKA alias OGEMA. He was tracked down and arrested on the 12.07.2021 from his hide-out in Kikomeko village, near Kalule Trading Centre, Nakatonya Parish, Nyimbwa Subcounty, in Luwero district. An immediate thorough search was conducted at his known premises, and the motorcycle Bajaj Boxer, red in colour registration number UEO 375D, that was used during the attack was recovered. Other relevant exhibits recovered include the hood that he used to cover his head, an assortment of jackets, gloves, warm suits, and another motorcycle, Bajaj red in colour, registration number UDH 888V that was used in the surveillance of their targets.
I wish to add that during the interrogation of “Kanaabe,” he admitted to participating in a series of planned and highly sophisticated murders and aggravated robberies within the country, that led to the murder of 14 persons, the attempted murder of 3 people and 3 major aggravated robberies. These include; the Murder of Major Muhammad Kiguundu and his bodyguard Sgt. Stephen Mukasa in 2016; the late AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi, his bodyguard Cpl. Erau Kenneth and the driver Cpl. Godfrey Mambewa in 2017; the double murder of No.560 SPC Mubiru Hussein and No. 169 SPC Kalungi Moses, and the attempted murder of Hakiza Evarest at Ntake Bakery, Kalerwe; the murder of Frank Anania, Bugembe Amim, Atukuru Jimmy and Abaho Frank at Nansana Cheap Hardware Stores, the murder of Okoth Button at City Supermarket, Mpererwe, and the most recent murder of Nantongo Brenda and Kayondo Haruna, and the attempted assassination of General Edward Katumba Wamala and his body guard Sgt Khalid Kuboit. The aggravated robberies linked to the terror group are the Ntake Bakery in Kalerwe where they robbed Ugx 33m, in 2017; Nansana Cheap Stores where they allegedly robbed Ugx 300m, City Supermarket at Mpererwe where they robbed Ugx 2.2m and an additional 4.5m from a mobile money attendant.
Our focus now shifts to tracking down the overall coordinator of the domestic terror cells, a one SHEIKH ABU UBAIDA BADIR DIIN BUKENYA. He has been actively recruiting assailants and reactivating the terror cells. We have widely shared his photos and put out a reward of Ugx 5m, for any one with credible information that can lead to his arrest.
The public should know that we are dealing with a very deadly and militant group. In the counter terror operations that we conducted, most of the suspects were violent and confrontational, to the raids made on their hide-outs and during the recovery of the killer weapons, i.e. the two AK47 guns and a pistol and other relevant exhibits, from Nansana, Katooke, Matugga, Maganjo, Namuwongo and Kalule-Bombo. Two of our officers who were seriously injured are still nursing wounds.
As you are all aware, such acts of attacks are aimed at destabilising the prevailing peace, safety and security in our country, by creating a sense of panic and fear among the public. We want to thank the public for their overwhelming support. For those who have criticized and demonised the police for our actions against the ruthless acts of violence by these terror groups, just know that you are encouraging them to repeat their brutal and unlawful acts.
Our counter-terror operations aimed at dismantling the terror cells continue. We do fully support the resolute enforcement actions and commitment of the task team to their duties because countering threats of domestic terror and extremism, is much harder than what most people think. However, our teams have showed that they have superior capacity.

ROGERS WATAKA: 12% excise duty — Smile communications stands

KAMPALA —Last week netizens in Uganda as is their banter to complain without much action on social media were abuzz with the announcement of a significant increment in their internet data bundles through the introduction of the 12% levy by the government on all data purchased.

While this announcement came through the big telecom companies simply passed the tax burden onto the consumers.

With the lockdown biting hard with prices of basic necessities skyrocketing many commentators have noted the new tax wouldn’t have been more ill-timed. Few anticipated a global pandemic.

Today, many activities have become virtual. Working, socializing, and banking have increasingly moved online. One positive aspect has been that that by encouraging people to use online services, Covid-19 has accelerated connectivity of the country with the rest of the world or the world yonder as Fred my erstwhile writer literature guru might say. The internet has become the new safest, fastest and most reliable means of both communications and business transactions.

But with the new tax and all of the telecom (except for Smile communications) companies simply passing the burden of tax to the consumers, it is less certain how this would affect competition in terms of price wars but one thing of for sure it has made communication expensive. Two points are less certain. First, how will consumers depending on the internet react to the increment, which is large in relative terms, but low in nominal value?

Second, what might have happened if all the telecom companies had chosen to bear the burden of tax on behalf of their clients. Could it have set the stage for new price wars? Thirdly is the Ugandan consumer price-aware and price-sensitive when using data? If so, one should expect a shift to Smile Communications which has maintained its prices.

Understanding consumer engagement and behaviour, transparency, price sensitivity and the potential for those that choose to keep their prices low especially in this period are just some of the important aspects of the competitive dynamics of internet /data provision services.

Understanding the role that the competitive environment and, equally importantly, competition policy play in the development of internet services is clearly important for promoting internet pe*******on and use, as evidenced by Smile Communications decision to bear the burden of tax on behalf of its consumers.

The plan I guess to attract more subscribers as well as enable access to fast and reliable internet cheaply. I suppose it is their gift to that child reading of the net or that fashionista depending on Twitter and Facebook to market her merchandise. It’s a great sacrifice but one worth mentioning and in the long term, if it wining we are talking about, smile communications has won. In any case, it can be said that the permanently reduced fees hold benefits for users and, in particular, Smile Communications in the long term.

One thing is for sure if only consumers were more informed, more organized dynamic and louder about their demands then even with the 12% levy the internet rates in Uganda would be much lower. Rather than rant on social media the consumers have a choice, every so often to move to the cheapest, most affordable and reliable internet service providers. Of course, it would set the stage for a vicious price war in which by all means the consumer would come out as the winner.

PAMELA ANKUNDA: Death by social media.

Mid this week, we heard of the 58 deaths in one day which is sad statistic and is shadowed a lot of god things. I repeat, every death is sad, and for me personally, it is made worse, because two of those were close. But let’s shine a candle in the dark world. There were over 1600 recoveries in a week! 1600+!!

As usual, I start with celebrating the medical workers in every corner of our country, the unsung heroes in the COVID-19 fight. Dr. Mary Lilian, President of medical interns posted a celebratory note of Dr. Mulungi Jonathan of Masaka regional hospital, where one of the COVID patients got a cardiac arrest 3 times and he-Dr. Jonathan did CPR for each of those 3 times, keeping the patent alive. Bless you doctor! Cheekily, someone asked if the good doctor was still single. I hope he reads this.

The Teso Parliamentary Caucus met with the staff of Soroti hospital to appreciate their services and boost their morale. Well on, TPG! It was in that very hospital that the Siamese twins-one dead, and one alive were separated, and just as recent, Dr Annet helped deliver a baby girl from a COVID-19 mother. So many little stories of miraculous goodness from different doctors come alive, but on social media, there are so many –as mzee kajabago Karusoke once said, “brain dead” netizens who simply occupy space.

To know them, hear them: They announced the President’s death, a day before he presided over the world health summit in Munyonyo, then quickly pronounced the death of Lt. Gen Muhoozi, of business man BMK, Dr.Kigundu, and a host of other people, prompting some, like the owner of Baguma Restaurant and Hon Fred Ruhindi to come out and say “no, we are not dead”.

Commenting on this, Robert Kabushenga counseled “do not announce a death unless it is yours or your loved one. Let people process their grief. There is no gain in rushing to break news, especially of death…”
Our new Attorney General (also chairman of table topping Football giants-Express FC) Kiryowa Kiwanuka posted a quote from Mike Tyson-“social media made y’all too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it…”, to which Grace Aine responded with Albert Einstein’s quote “I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity, the world will only have a generation of idiots….”

You probably had heard that there was a ship docking at Malaba awaiting to deal with our internal elections. “Emeeri” talk, useless as it was occupied our airwaves, our screens and we laughed it off like we normally do, but this only shows you how hoax hoarders are closer and closer to the spaces our children are enjoying, how fake news puts mortar onto the communities we share, tearing our social fabric through defamatory jokes, unchallenged lies. Note, someone said the “emeeri” joke was finding light heartedness and laughter in the silly things of life.

Okay, maybe it was a good joke-a ship docking where there was no water. But what do we make of similar spaces they’ve occupied before with the endless falsities about the (non) existence of COVID-19, quickly turning the talk into COVID-19 being used as a tool to rig elections, then- a tool to curb democracy in Uganda and, the President’s addresses to the population-misconstrued as a campaign gimmick? The Jacks of this world, who, like the antagonist that Jack is in the Lord of the flies, survive on disruption of order and clarity, made happier by chaos, as if COVID-19 itself, ain’t bad enough!

We need to start believing in verified information. That’s the only choice. Let’s ignore people who seek fame without shame, those who seek to gain fortune with no fort. Those-who, on a daily basis-hoard fake news, those who have made lies and garbage their tirade.

If you share a passion for optimism, keep the assurance that we will heal if we do the right things. If your mask is a disposable one, please don’t use and re-use. If it is washable, please wash it. If in shared public spaces, be mindful of everyone else around you.

Lastly, let’s not kill the fighting spirit as we advance more in the fight against spreading the virus. Equally, I beseech you to give fake news and alerts a wide berth. Avoid death by social media. In your own individual way, be a myth buster, be the driver of hope in this passenging world, be a truth seeker, a truth teller, and above all, be the African COVID-19 champion.

KAMPALA — In one of the press conferences, the Director General of-World health Organisation (WHO) said “we are not just fighting a pandemic. We are fighting an info-demic”.

Shortly after, a campaign dubbed “stop the spread” was launched, intended to minimize the spread of incorrect and false information. Digital and new media users have contributed to mal information and dis-information, two different, but similar words, all contributing to the infodemic.

If you have not filtered and deleted non-essential whatsapp groups from your phone, you will most likely fall victim from unverified and quite depressing information.

A few days ago thus, one of the dailies run a screamer that indicated that Uganda had lost the COVID fight. A screen shot of the paper was sent to me by a Kenyan friend who has worked and lived in Italy for 16 years, after a posting from Portugal where he worked for 5 years. After more than 20 years- years he calls ‘odd’ because he was away from home, he made up his mind to return home-to a land he calls ‘glory Africa’. I met him when I was still at the Uganda Media centre when he had come to seek clearance on attending a meeting with LRA leader-during the botched peace talks.

He was furious that back in Italy, some of the press highlighted Jospeh Kony as a savior, and the government-as a perpetrator. It infuriated him that the press was seemingly against “glory Africa” in promoting war-mongers. Come COVID in Italy, the US, Brazil and other places where people were dying in their thousands every day, he would send screen shots of the press highlighting these deaths, yet, trying so hard to keep hope alive.

“Pam”, he would say, even with over 2300 coffins lying on the street awaiting decent burial, “we are keeping hope alive”.

Imagine then, his anger at this daily newspaper that run a screamer “How Uganda lost the COVID fight”. He called-his rage shooting through the phone asking why our own people are against “Glory Africa”.

His anger wasn’t in vain, it was not misplaced and he was not alone in feeling this way.
At the time of this publication, Uganda-with a population of over 45 million had vaccinated over 834,271 people, and was rolling out a new community vaccine plan, had 74,260 cumulative cases, over 1200 active cases on admission and 752 deaths. Don’t get me wrong. Every death is a sad statistic of a friend, loved one, a parent, someone we know, and someone we are close to. On a personal note, a man we grew up calling Uncle-because he was godfather to my brother passed on 5 months after the death of his wife, and only 10 days later, his beautiful daughter passed on, leaving a week old baby, who came into the world by emergency C-section from her dying mother.

We have lost three close friends-one-Robert Kirabira very special and dear to us, two aunties, neighbors, former workmates and almost every day, we wake up to death of someone we know. It has taken its Unbearable toll and I feel every inch of all our pain as a county! The numbers of the departed will sadly increase, as will-and lets not forget this- the number of recoveries. It is tempting to keep a grim heart in this hurting world by looking at the deaths only, which we are all almost guilty of. It is very easy to shut down mentally and wish things were better. They will!
In this fight, folks, we have not lost the fight against COVID! Haven’t we slowly heeded recovered from the guard we had so let down? See, in my area, in the outskirts of Kampala City, our little vibrant village has put in place self-policing measures; wearing a mask, washing hands and watching out for any “law breakers”.

That’s their small way of fighting. Every day, thousands of health workers fight to keep people alive, working long hours to restore our land to total healing. To suggest that we have lost the fight is to mock the drops of sweat beneath the layers of thick PPE they wear, it is to mock the contribution of the doctors and nurses, some going days without sleep to save a soul-or two.

That same article goes on to vilify the government pointing at what the termed as a lowering of guard amidst wanton disregard for the enforcement of SOPs. Incidentally, the same paper says enforcement of SoPs by security is an abuse of rights. Fair enough, but government alone can never win this fight. I carry the hope of the millions of Ugandans that believe that we shall overcome this pandemic.

If there was any lesson that we learnt at the height of the pandemic that ravaged Italy and other established nations whose bed capacities and health systems are world class, countries whose GDPS are the envy of the world, was that a nation must pull together in the hard times and work towards ending the pandemic. Anything diversionary should be frowned upon and regarded with utmost ridicule.

Even when we have not fully vaccinated our population as established economies hoard theirs, even when we have so much going against us as an African race, the only choice is to win this fight through experience, tested leadership and a submissive population to voices of scientific reason, not proponents of mal-information, disinformation and fake news. We shall overcome if all of us in our small ways keep vigilant and observe the SOPs. We will hold on to the unchanging hand of God, and in His time, our land will be fully restored. Together, we will win this fight. Keep safe and keep hope alive!

UPDF Wazalendo Sacco Hits 540 Billion Mark in Assets Amidst Covid 19 Challenges

12th Mar 2021

The all powerful UPDF Sacco has hit a remarkable 530 Billion shillings despite COVID 19 challenges.
"Total Assets increased from UGX 413billion in 2019 to UGX 530 billion in 2020, " said Col Freddy Onata, the CEO WSACCO.

Col Joseph F. Onata also presented that, interest on savings ranges from 4-7 percent depending on savings account type and volume of savings. While interest on Loans is 12 percent per annum on Waza Quick Loan and 13 percent on other loans charged on reducing balance.

The pronouncement was revealed while at the 15th Annual General Meeting of the Sacco's to review its operational and financial performances for the Financial year 2020 at the Uganda Military Engineers College ( UMEC) in Lugazi.

The chief guest at the meeting and Minister for Trade Industry and Cooperatives Hon Amelia Kyambadde commended WSACCO for improving members' welfare amidst the global economic challenges. This was contained in a speech read by the Minister of State for Cooperatives Hon Frederick Ngobi Gume, who emphasized the role of strengthening a strong savings culture for investment in agriculture, industry, services and ICT to grow.

" Share experiences and capitalize on opportunities to save for investment," she noted, adding that the sustainability of the Sacco is guided by trust and excellent member services. She further called for embracing mindset change (educating members) for all borrowers to invest in income generating activities so that they can pay back.

The Board Chairman WSACCO Maj Gen Sam Kavuma appreciated MODVA/UPDF leadership, Sacco members, and its business partners for their constant support, trust and patronage. He said during the FY 2020, membership increased from 69,114 to 80,198, Business Savings Account and Tujeunge fund were launched and configured on the ATM to broaden saving options and enhance operational efficiency. Other investments were in mobile banking, data storage and disaster recovery; which help to mitigate effects of COVID 19 by minimizing personal contacts.

Maj Gen Kavuma noted that the Sacco's sustainability is premised on transparency, integrity, convenience, accountability, ethical values and equity.

However, Loan interest income has remained as the major source of revenue for WSACCO contributing 76.75% of the total revenue.

WSACCO membership is voluntary to UPDF personnel, civilians working with the MODVA, spouses and children of soldiers.

This year's AGM was organized under the theme: " Enhancing Members' value amidst economic challenges."

The AGM was also attended by WSACCO Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee, Members from UPDF Staff and Command, management, delegates and Partners, among others.

Bought two infant night dresses at a posh place in Kampala-at a very friendly rate of 110k for both. Walked away smiling. Two weeks ago.

Got four of the same today,at Namaganda plaza at 50k. (Yes, 50k for four infant nighties).

Worse, I met one of the shop attendants from the 110k-place at Namaganda doing her boss' shopping.

C'est la vie!
