Opinion: MPs Shs. 23m money pit for “Advocacy Funds”

There is always a moment to eat. There is never enough spoils for some. The Ugandan legislators or the Members of Parliament in the 10th Parliament always see a moment to gain more cash. The COVID-19 or Coronavirus is no different. Just another moment to short-change society.

The MPs used their Plenary Session in the midst of lockdown, the second round of lockdown is starting. That is what they are up too. Instead of finding solutions to solve the crisis or funding for the operations during the lockdown. Because the state has started a donation fund for the Emergency. They should have been concerned with the spending and where the money has come from.

Instead, they all find a way of getting fresh suits or ties. The MPs seems to be busy finding ways to cater their plate in the midst of the lockdown, instead of helping to solve the crisis itself. This advocacy fund is mismanaged. This is greedy. This is outrageous.

Here is the simple math on the 10 billion shillings Speaker Rebecca Kadaga told the world about today. Here is my calculation.

Amount of MPs

Advocacy Funds

Total:

426

Shs. 23m

Shs 10bn

The MPs are giving themselves about 23 million shillings. This is simple money, they cannot campaign, cannot rally or do anything. Only pocket the funds. Because, all activity is banned. All transport and anything. They cannot stand on the street-corner like a street preacher.

No they are no allowed and therefore, the “advocacy” is useless. Unless, this is an enrichment scheme, which makes sense. They are getting more wealth, as well as they have plenary sessions. They are sitting earning funds and this way capable of getting allowance without any issues. The Parliament isn’t suspended or in recess. No, they are still active.

This is greed and nothing else. As they are asking for funds elsewhere. They are spending funds on themselves, instead of investing in health-care and medicines. Peace.

Opinion: Trump halts funding to the WHO, because the Emperor is naked…

It is about time now. This is enough, the world is suffering with a pandemic. The United States and the Trump Administration is halting funds to the World Health Organization (WHO). The Washington D.C. Consensus of our day is internal squabble and create enemies.

The US has done enough bad decisions abroad, across shores and caused havoc. If that being the Iran agreement, the trade-war with China. The causes of stir with NATO and so-on. There has been nothing positive. His done nothing to prevent the North Koreans from shooting missiles towards Japan. There is no stopping of trouble within Iraq, who the lawmakers want to banish them. While the hawks in DC wants to start a war against Teheran.

So, its not like the US or Trump Administration is doing anyone a favour. Neither is the Coup d’etat sponsored in Bolivia. The trying to forge a right-wing change of guards in Caracas in Venezuela. It is not like they are playing softballs, they are doing it right in-front of our eyes. The only thing missing is CIA troops on the streets with trained militias in the US And then send them to the streets.

With this in mind. The way the destructive behaviour from the White House abroad. This is a continuation of it. The way it has targeted WHO and its director in the midst of the COVID-19 and the Coronavirus outbreak. A virus who has shed a dim light on the lacking profound leadership in Washington. Where it has shown the erratic behaviour is serving no gain. Therefore, it is easier to pin-point outsiders, than looking into own mediocrity. Which is bountiful and the warnings of it was all there, but the President and his team didn’t worry. Not until the house started burning. Than, they wondered why there was firemen coming.

President Trump might think his brilliant making WHO an enemy and a target. However, it is only undressing his mismanage. The king is without clothes. The emperor is naked. In front of his court, his a jester and joke. His insincere and he knows it. However, he thinks this is his trick. The trick that might save him at home, but abroad we know the deal.

He is halting funding for the organization who is funding and coordinating the research into the vaccine against the virus. The virus that has hurt the US the most, because of mismanagement. The man who has talked ill of the Untied Nations. Who has worked against global efforts and thwarted deals. Just like he just recently breached the International Space Agreement. Just so he can in his own mind start to mine the MOON. That is the sort of fella we are operating with.

President Trump is hearing of the carnage. The reasons for this act. Not that its good, not that its grandeur. It is the epic failure and trying to forge another narrative. While his own citizens is dying because he didn’t do his job. He didn’t mitigate or care early. Instead, he pumped hope into Wall Street and trying to save the Goodfella’s at Corporate America. Because, the citizens doesn’t matter as much as the big-men of the corporate-citizens. They matter more and more.

The WHO is just functioning the way it is because of the powers all its stakeholders gives it. The matter of how the world will want to support it and be behind it. Especially in the time of need like now. They are the ones coordinating and working with scientists world-wide. They are in-charge of studies and securing the studies are followed-up upon. Which in the end will save us all and give us a way-out.

That is how POOR Trump is. His the impoverished mind, the broke fellow of a spirit. Who has so little consideration, that unless he gets a few tokens and praise, he will buckle and cry like a baby. That is who he is and the world see it. There is no escape in a crisis and Trump is showing signs of fatigue. Weakness and above all, no strategy, no co-ordination and no punt to secure a better tomorrow. Only self-destruction and trying to bring the world on his team. What a fool, what a weak man. He might have powers in his office, in his role in DC, but he doesn’t have a character who can carry it. It is not in him and there was anything in him to change that either.

The emperor is naked. Time to release the dragons and let’s us enjoy the show. Peace.
