Voters Raise Serious Questions On Voters Technology
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

As the country waits to go to the polls on 14th this month, voters are seriously concerned with the technology going to be used by the electoral commission in the upcoming exercise.

According to the executive director center for constitutional governance, Sara Birete, the electoral commission has remained extremely silent on the kind of technology they are to use in the coming voting exercise which continues to raise questions on the credibility of the coming exercise from all stakeholders in the country.

In the Amama Mbabazi election petition in 2016, the Supreme Court recommended that the commission uses technology in this election with well spelt guidelines, regulations on its operations to both the voters and the commission.

But to her surprise, the commission has not come out to respect the court guidance which forces the public to question its credibility.

She also cautions govt on the increasing criminalization of citizens during this political season adding that such acts are impacting negatively on citizen’s civic rights to participate in the coming polls.

Uganda’s special UN human rights rapporteur, Margaret Ssekajja is calling for equitable dispensation of justice during the heated up electoral period in the country.

Ssekajja’s remarks follow the continued arrest and brutalization of opposition presidential candidates, their supporters and members of the campaign trail.

She notes that despite of a person’s political affiliation there is no need for security organs to oppress them as they go about canvassing for support.

She further warns that such discriminating acts are likely to see a rise of hundreds of electoral petitions discrediting the whole exercise.

Ssekajja now challenges the electoral commission to fully own up the exercise to avoid any further challenges in the remaining days.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
